3 d. ago Football transfer rumours: Gittens to Chelsea before first deadline closes?

This stuff is just looking for somethingThe summer’s first transfer window will close on Tuesday night at 7pm UK time ahead of the Fifa Club World Cup so watch out for some last-minute jobs to fill up squads for Gianni Infantino’s folly. Will Manchester City get Rayan Cherki signed in time? Chelsea are after a keeper in Milan’s Mike Maignan and want to add Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund to their winger collection. Both deals may go to the wire.When Bournemouth were flying high in mid-winter there was a fun game to play. Less fun if you were a Cherries fan, of course, but the game was to fit their unearthed gems with the clubs they would end up at.

9 d. ago Football transfer rumours: Son to leave Spurs? Reijnders to Manchester City?

Today’s fluff is making overturesAfter deciding they’d rather pay a £5m penalty fee to Manchester United than fulfil their obligation to make Jadon Sancho’s loan deal permanent, Chelsea are in the market for a different winger who blows more hot than cold. Sancho is believed to be the subject of interest from a trio of clubs in Saudi Arabia, with Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad all believed to be interested in hosing him with money. With the future of Mykhailo Mudryk still shrouded in uncertainty after his provisional ban for allegedly testing positive for a banned substance, Enzo Maresca is expected to try to convince his employers to sign Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund.
