We are apparently close to signing Maupay for around £15m, as well as getting Henderson back on loan for another year.

I really think you need to sign more players with top flight experience. There's a lot of good Championship players coming in and that is often not the key to success upon arriving in the Premier League.

I suspect we don't have a lot of cash (15m for Maupay side) and we're almost trying to aim for 17th place without bankrupting ourselves were we to fail. We're currently in the midst of a court battle of ownership, which could also be having an effect.

Burnley have signed West Brom striker Jay Rodriguez in a deal worth £10m:

My heart is broken.

[TCO]

£10mil for a soon to be 30 year old Jay Rodriguez. Money really doesn't go far nowadays!

[Baddar]

Alberto Moreno has signed for Villarreal.

Arsenal are to sign the St Etienne defender William Saliba for €30m (£27m) and loan him back to the French club for the 2019-20 season. The coveted 18-year-old has agreed a five-year deal with the Gunners and the two clubs are only minor details away from concluding the transfer.

So much for a small transfer budget...

Aston Villa are closing in on the signing of Brentford centre-back Ezri Konsa, Sky Sports News understands. Talks are understood to be progressing over a £12m deal, which would trigger a release clause in his contract.

Sky sources understand there were high-level talks last weekend between Manchester United and Newcastle United about Sean Longstaff. Newcastle will not confirm that there were talks but we understand Newcastle are categorically not interested in selling Longstaff and see him as a big part of their future plans. United have not made an official bid yet.

A source close to Wilfried Zaha says there are doubts about whether Arsenal can afford to sign him this summer. Palace have rejected a £40m Arsenal bid and they value Zaha at closer to £100m. Palace would not be interested in taking players as part of a swap deal – that would only ever happen as a last resort.

Like this one, a lot. 

Encouraging to see us making our moves early on, the more time the new players have to settle in, the better.

Villa are about to sign Douglas Luiz from Man City for 15m.

I follow La Liga so saw quite a bit of him at Girona last season. Didn't quite get the hype from Graham Hunter who was convinced he could go back to City and replace Fernandinho, but I'm sure he'll still be a very good signing.

That fringe though 

[Arjen Robben]

No need for Neymar and Griezmann now

[Lineker]

Aston Villa agree deal to sign Belgian centre-back Bjorn Engels from Reims, according to Sky sources.

Sheffield United have bid accepted for Preston striker Callum Robinson, according to Sky sources.

[EddieG]

Griezmann to Barca is finally a done deal.

[Lineker]

 

No, we weren't.
