I don't know who that is. What exactly is the point of these videos?

To be fair, I'm not sure I would have been able to resist that pun either.

Personally I thought it was a bit too obvious

That's kind of what makes it irresistible though.

I just have higher standards for my puns.

He's the Scottish Gareth Bale.

It's so at some meeting in the near future, West Brom's head of marketing can say 'The Oliver Burke Twitter announcement got nearly five thousand impressions' and everyone around the table can nod wisely like they understand what that means and pretend like it makes any money.

It's all about engaging your audience to increase your profile.

Max the envelope and so forth

Is Lucas Moura still going the other way?

Bit racist to do a shite Scotish accent.

Bit homophobic, m8

Great signing for WBA. Leipzig arguably got too successful too quickly to give Burke enough minutes to develop. They brought in Bruma, who is definitely better, but it's still a shame. Definitely one to watch. He has the directness of Adama Traore, but he has an end product too. Big lad as well.

Chelsea and Liverpool look set to battle it out to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after he turned down a new £180K a week deal at Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger held talks with the England midfielder yesterday in a final attempt to persuade him to stay at the Emirates. 

SSN understands Wenger will tell the player and his representatives in the next 24 hours whether he will allow him to leave before the window closes next week - or let him see out the final year of his contract at the Emirates.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, capped 27 times by England, sees his future elsewhere, with Chelsea and Liverpool understood to be waiting in the wings, ready to tempt Arsenal with an offer well beyond the £30m offered by Chelsea earlier this month.

The player, who joined Arsenal from Southampton in 2011, is known to be unhappy playing as a wing back, preferring a central of wide midfield role.

Hey Ox, come to Chelsea. We promise we won't play you as a wing-back all of the time.

Charlie Adam is a bit shit at Twitter (and also a bit shit generally)

Ahaha fucking hell

Should really have made a snazzy video.

Tottenham Hotspur will sign Serge Aurier from Paris Saint-Germain for €25m (£23m) if the defender can resolve the issues that relate to his convertible two-month prison sentence.

The 24-year-old Ivory Coast international has appealed against the punishment – which was suspended – and given to him last year, after he allegedly assaulted a police officer outside a nightclub in Paris. Convertible sentences mean the offender is more likely to do community service and pay a heavier fine.

Tottenham want a new right-back after selling Kyle Walker to Manchester City for £50m, and they have agreed terms on the move for Aurier with both him and PSG. The final obstacle involves the Home Office giving Aurier the necessary clearance to enter the United Kingdom. The defender missed a Champions League game at Arsenal last season because he was not allowed into the country.

Mauricio Pochettino, the Tottenham manager, has already taken the centre-half Davinson Sánchez from Ajax and the back-up goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga from Southampton, and he wants a further three new signings before Thursday’s deadline. One of them could be another central defender – the 19-year-old Juan Foyth from Estudiantes.

Pochettino has tracked his fellow Argentinian throughout the summer but it appeared PSG had moved in front of him to complete the signing. Tottenham are now the favourite to secure Foyth.

Ross Barkley continues to be a target and the summer-long game of brinkmanship over the Everton midfielder could go down to deadline day. Tottenham do not want to break their weekly wage structure of £100,000 for him, while they are conscious he is out for three months with a hamstring tear. That said, Pochettino is very keen to sign Barkley.

Pochettino will loan the 19-year-old centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers to Sheffield United in the Championship while he is open to offers for another central defender, Kevin Wimmer, who is wanted by Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion.

I remember there was an issue with PSG bringing him to a CL game at Arsenal a couple of years back  - hopefully that issue can be overcome this time around.
