Premier League transfer news: Richarlison to Tottenham; Man Utd close on De Jong; Raphinha latest

It's been another very busy day for Premier League transfers. Here are the latest transfer stories doing the rounds:

Richarlison to Tottenham

Spurs have got their man! Richarlison has signed a five year deal with the North London side and is the latest acquisition Antonio Conte has made this summer.

Spurs have spent big this window, with £60 million being splurged on Richarlison, £35 million on Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic signed on a free transfer. With rumours that a move for Clement Lenglet is imminent, Spurs are sending out a message to the rest of the league.

Man Utd close on De Jong

The latest never-ending Manchester United transfer saga appears to be inching towards a finale. Reports indicate that an €85 million deal has been struck between United and Barcelona, with the only issue remaining being the structure of the payments.

Personal terms are yet to be agreed, and with De Jong stating previously how he loves playing for Barcelona, a breakthrough in this deadlock may be further away than we all think.

Raphinha latest

The Brazilian winger seems certain to leave Leeds, with the only thing being in doubt is what club he will end up signing for. Arsenal were heavily linked with him during the early part of the window, but it's Chelsea that have had a bid of £60 million accepted by Leeds.

However, Barcelona are also long time admirers of the Brazilian and seem desperate to make him a part of the Catalan giants attack next season. Whether it's Arsenal, Chelsea or Barcelona, one thing for certain is Raphinia won't be playing at Elland Road next season.

Irish teen signs for Spurs

Jack Keeley has completed his move from St Patrick's Athletic to Tottenham Hotspur. The 19 year old goalkeeper has already moved to London and has started training with his new teammates.

"I'm absolutely over the moon to have signed for such a big club. It's a very proud moment and a great achievement for me and my family," Keeley said.

“It's every kid's dream to sign for a team in England and I'm absolutely delighted. Signing the contract didn't even feel real, it still hasn't hit me yet."

Jota signs for Celtic

Portuguese winger Jota has signed a five-year deal to join Scottish Premiership champions Celtic.

The 23-year-old moved to Glasgow on loan from Benfica last season and scored 13 goals to help the Hoops to a domestic league and Premier Sports Cup double.

He told Celtic TV : “I’m feeling great. It’s a tremendous step in my career.

“I’m really happy to have joined Celtic and I just want to give some joy to the fans, to our team and conquer as many things as we can.”

Shane Long leaves Southampton

Republic of Ireland international Shane Long has left Southampton. His contract expired today, so Long is now a free agent.

The Irish star came to St Mary's for big money back in 2014 and enjoyed a very good career for The Saints. Long leaves Southampton having made 245 appearances and scoring 37 goals in his 8 year stint with the club.
