Swansea are in talks with Atalanta about selling striker Alberto Paloschi, according to Sky sources. A deal worth around £5m is being negotiated. Paloschi joined Swansea for £8m from Chievo in January and scored two goals for the club.

Leicester City are set to sign long-term midfield target Nampalys Mendy from Nice, reports the Leicester Mercury. Claudio Ranieri's side have been locked in negotiations with Nice over the fee for the 23-year-old and the issue appears to have been resolved with the Premier League champions set to pay £9.5million to get their man. Ranieri is no stranger to Mendy having managed the player during his time as Monaco boss.

That's Kante's replacement sorted then. We were linked with him too but it was mostly just paper talk I think.

Borussia Dortmund have completed the signing of Portugal left-back Raphaël Guerreiro from Lorient. The 22-year-old has signed a contract with the Bundesliga club until 2020. Arsenal were previously reported to be interested.

Be quicker to note what players Arsenal aren't interested in.

Jose has reportedly told Phil Jones he has a future at Man Utd, and he wants him to become the club's version of John Terry.

Nothing wrong with a bit of motivating like that. And if he doesn't do well this season there's nothing to prevent Jose/United from going "welp, you failed" and nixing it.

Hide your wives.

Why?

They've already been safely hidden for years from Giggs and all their brothers' wives too, just to be safe.

I want Jones to be a success, of course I do. There have been glimpses from him since he signed years ago, but the guy can't keep himself fit for more than a 3 game stretch.

Sky sources say that Leicester have made a £10m bid for Burnley centre-back Michael Keane.

[The Lusophone]

Someone tell Leicester they don't have to buy all our old academy players. >_>

[Colly]

Hmm... maybe the secret to their success is that in a parallel universe where Fergie didn't retire that Leicester squad plays for Man Utd. Ignore the fact Fergie sold some of them because that doesn't fit my timeline...

I'd be more impressed if they signed Pogba and Pique though.

[Whisper]

Just waiting for Ben Thornley and Possebon to show up.

Obertan is available.

Is David Bellion still about?
