Hudson-Odoi deal is worth a total of £5m with add-ons. Crazy since he was linked with a £50m move to Bayern only a few years ago.

I think Sterling is unlucky as there is a lot of competition for the attacking spots in the squad.

Sea of Stars is really quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep me occupied until Starfield.

Southgate said Coady isn’t included because “he’s playing in the Championship” - although he is injured at the moment. Henderson is arguably playing in a weaker league but is included… Happy to see Nketiah finally get some international recognition though. Phillips still being called up despite not really playing for an entire year is amusing.

Man City bringing in almost £50m for Cole Palmer would be remarkable if Chelsea weren’t the buying club.

50% sell-on clause!

Fulham signed Timothy Castagne from Leicester, and are now in talks with Everton to sign Alex Iwobi.

Kieran Tierney is close to joining Real Sociedad on loan for the season. No purchase option, straight loan with fee and wages covered by Sociedad. It’s a shame that Arteta’s evolution has left him behind, because I absolutely adore him as a player.

Mason Mount is looking like a strange signing at the moment. Not convinced he fits what Ten Hag is trying to do.

Wilfried Gnonto has submitted a written transfer request at Leeds.

Oof. Better clear a bit of space then.

Jurrien Timber confirmed to have torn his ACL, likely to be out for season. Absolutely gutted for him. Elsewhere, Manchester United are reportedly bringing Mason Greenwood back into the fold.

Another.

Chelsea have reportedly activated Michael Olise’s release clause.

Onana was really lucky to get away with that. It’s a clear penalty for me. I think the theme of United’s season might be if Mount and Fernandes can play together, with Casemiro behind - he looks well off the pace.

Funnily enough, they still lack a top goalkeeper.

Chelsea are really starting to field a tasty squad though.

Ornstein reporting that Romeo Lavia has decided to join Chelsea over Liverpool. You have to laugh at this point.

Kylian Mbappé is expected to sign a new contract at PSG until 2025.

Top signing, especially with Mac Allister already on the books.

Ornie on it too

I think I read that Kane’s Mrs is giving birth within a few weeks. Maybe that could be a factor in him having reservations?
