Kolo Muani had been a prime target for Juventus, for whom he played on loan from PSG over the second half of last season, scoring 10 goals.

They have moved quickly to land Xavi Simons, who has been touted as a certainty to join Chelsea for much of the past month, and must be relieved not to have fallen victim to yet another late hijack. There were understandable nerves at Spurs as they raced to complete a £51.8m deal to sign Simons from RB Leipzig. Previous attempts to bolster Thomas Frank’s options in attacking midfield had not gone well. Where next after Eze and Gibbs-White? Spurs have made a hugely encouraging start under Frank, who has won his first two league games by an aggregate score of 5-0, but they needed something extra in the final third. Son Heung-min has gone; James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are out. Mohammed Kudus has impressed since joining from West Ham for £54.5m but he is at his best on the right. The arrival of extra creativity is highly welcome. The element of surprise around Simons has given Spurs fans rare joy. Continue reading...

Recent news surrounding Manchester United's finances has not been positive - which will have left fans wondering how they are able to finance a move for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
Today’s rumours are counting the clouds It has been one of the great conundrums of this window, leaving people pontificating over what Harvey Elliott should do next. The midfielder was, arguably, the leading light in England’s European Under-21 Championship triumph but it still feels like minutes will be hard to come by at Liverpool.

Supposedly Newcastle have a plan B if they do not land Benjamin Sesko from Leipzig, although considering they have missed out on so many players this summer, it is more like a plan T. The latest contingency walks, talks and gets booked just like Nicolas Jackson, mainly because it is the Chelsea striker.
