There's also murmurs of Spurs and Inter essentially swapping N'Dombele and Milan Škriniar. Which would be obviously great.

We need to stick with Ndombele, he's class. Fully believe Jose will ruin any chance of that though and he'll go be incredible for Barca or someone.

ESPN Brazil are reporting that Willian to Arsenal is pretty much a done deal. 

Three year contract at about £200,00 a week.

Thanks I guess?

Chelsea, seemingly noticing Everton have bid for Reguilon for way cheaper than Chilwell would cost us, have declared interest in him. He was apparently the best left back in La Liga last year  whilst on loan at Sevilla and he's third choice at Real Madrid so is hopefully available.

I'd take any left back at this point if they just hurry the fuck up with Havertz.

I've liked Reguilon for a few seasons. It's surprising that Real have been happy to let both he and Hakimi move on when Marcelo is coming towards the end of his career.

It's some real short termism from what I can see. In terms of full backs they have Marcelo, Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy. Eder Militao and Nacho can also fill in, but Nacho especially is older and has fitness question marks.

As well as letting Hakimi and Reguilon go they also sold young left back Theo Hernandez to AC Milan as well.

Branislav Ivanovic to Everton is looking likely, Carlo Ancelotti wants to work with him again.

[Naitch]

Seems like an odd move. I could've seen him playing a significant role in the Championship but, at 36, I'm not sure what he has to offer to a Premier League side.

I've already said it but Reguilon would very much be my first-choice to replace Marcos Alonso at Chelsea.

Yippee.

Troy Deeney!?

[FLiam]

Mourinho seems to want him as Harry Kane's backup. 

[The Lusophone]

Troy Deeney would be decent as a Fellaini style "lump it up top and see what happens" kind of tactic.

[TCO]

Is Deeney really that terrible for a 2nd choice striker?

Wasn't there a year where Spurs only had Clinton N'Jie as a backup to Kane?

City have announced the Ferran Torres deal.

Heartbroken 😭 he was fantastic for Valencia. Now I have to try and hate him?!  

[METALMAN]

Of all the players named after ancient cities of the Near East, Troy Deeney is easily my second least favourite.

[Lineker]

The Deeney thing originated from the Watford Observer. So no idea if the runour actually has any legs to it.

I think Sancho going to United is the stupidest of them all.

I mean, I've seen Watford fans online wanting to get rid because he's practically immobile and contributes little except for soundbites.
