Looks like Man City's deal for Ferran Torres has a good chance of going through.

The deal with include cash + Venezuelan international Yangel Herrera going in other direction to Valencia.

Herrera is a defensive midfielder who has had a very impressive season for La Liga's surprise package, Granada.

My worry is that Guendouzi haunts us with spurs.

I do rate Ndombele, and think if we somehow landed him and partey, it would be the closet thing we had to having Big Pat in midfield.

Ndombele would be a great addition. We need a midfielder with athleticism who can carry the ball, and if anyone could benefit from an Arteta masterclass on body positioning and first touch in midfield, it's him.

No thanks to Ndombele. He’s technically gifted but lacks the work rate.

Arteta could up the workrate of a snail. Think it would be a massive coup.

Lille seem to be doing great at picking up good talents and then selling them for huge money, we should try just buying the guys they are interested before they get to them  😆 .

Rumenigge about Thiago: "He wants to leave this summer, but it has to be said that we only consider selling if a certain amount of money is offered. The sums I sometimes read in certain news outlet is something I can only laugh about. Even in Corona times we're not hosting a FC Bayern summer sale"

Barcelona would accept a cheap transfer for Umtiti, but the reality is that his sale will be difficult. Umtiti wants to continue at Barcelona and has a valid contract. @Tjuanmarti(@sport.)

Edinson Cavani's brother and agent have had a "very good" meeting with Benfica's president over the transfer of the player.

Chelsea want to get rid of Kante? Why?

12 milion for a 31 year old, error prone defender in his last year of contract. How?

Apart from the Ozil snail. We should beware and steer clear if his attitude and workrate are questionable. Nobody has time for this.

United are confused. They need to fix their entire back 6. What the fuck are they doing? I’m not worried about them at all. They’re worse run then us.

He's had a poor season.

He wasn't great last year either. Think they're spot on to sell him now while he still has market value.

Very quick and ruthless decision from Chelsea

If they are stupid enough to sell him we should get him here

Absolutely not. Too expensive, No resale value, possibly damaged goods. The sort of player we should be staying away from right now.

RMC Sport report that Ligue 1 side Lille have reached an agreement with 24-year-old Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos over a possible summer move from Rangers.
