3 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.

A penalty clause is one way of framing it; another is that it is the equivalent of a standard loan fee and that all Chelsea are doing is making a delayed payment after not being asked for one when the deal to borrow Sancho went through on the final day of last summer’s transfer window.
