Rumours: >While the potential next moves of Alexis Sánchez (still at Arsenal), Kylian Mbappé (still at Monaco) and Philippe Coutinho (still at Liverpool) continue to hog the headlines, West Ham probably deserve a column inch or two if news of their interest in William Carvalho is to be believed. The Sporting Lisbon defensive midfielder has a £39.5m release clause in his contract and is rumoured to be keen on a move to the Premier League, but the Hammers will test the waters with an opening bid of £25m. Previously linked with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United and – more recently – Arsenal, West Brom and Newcastle, the burly Euro 2016 winner has no shortage of suitors and is contracted to Sporting until 2020.
After announcing on TalkSport on Wednesday that he is hoping to sign “three players … maybe four” before the transfer window closes, Mauricio Pochettino has been linked with a move for Ajax defender Davinson Sánchez in this morning’s Sun. Tottenham’s inactivity in the current transfer window has been well documented but talks have begun in Amsterdam over the future of the 21-year-old Colombian centre-back who you may remember from Ajax’s Europa League final defeat at the hands of Manchester United. Chelsea, Barcelona and Crystal Palace are also rumoured to be sniffing around.
>Tottenham have been heavily linked with Everton midfielder Ross Barkley for months, but reports this morning say Chelsea are ready to torpedo any potential offers with a bigger bid of their own. After being sent home from the club’s pre-season trip to China for posting insulting messages about his hosts on social media, their cultural attaché Kenedy is on the verge of being re-assigned to Newcastle on a season-long loan, while the Stamford Bridge outfit are also being linked with moves for disaffected Tottenham defender Danny Rose, Barcelona’s Sergi Roberto and Valencia’s João Cancelo. That’s a lot of full-backs.
Despite his public assertion that Manchester United’s chances of signing Gareth Bale have evaporated, nobody believes José Mourinho really thinks that. Tabloid reports suggest the Manchester United manager has urged his Old Trafford employers to offer Real Madrid £100m to secure the Welshman’s services.
>Newcastle central midfielder Jack Colback may have to look for another club after the Shields Gazette revealed he will not be included in Rafael Benítez’s Premier League squad. “We are trying to move players out to bring players in,” said Benítez, who is known to be most disillusioned with his club’s apparent unwillingness to secure his transfer targets since winning promotion from the Championship. “We know where we are and what we need.” A new owner?

>ARSENAL and Liverpool are reportedly preparing moves to sign Gremio striker Luan. Why do Liverpool need him?
>ARSENAL and Liverpool have made bids for Real Madrid forward Lucas Vazquez, reports say. Again, why do we need him? We have too many attackers. Klopp needs to buy some defenders.

Has Naymar scored yet?
Jackson Butler
don't really see the point in spurs signing barkley. he's not as good as eriksen, son, alli or lamela who all play the same sort of role.
Jordan Perry
Pochettino wants players who can make the first XI push themselves to stay in the team. So Barkley would literally be a squad player. And Everton wanted 45mil for him LOL
Leo Murphy
can somebody please just fucking sign him to a real club
arsene where the fuck are you
Ryder Diaz
>0 apps for PSG give him a chance la
Nicholas Rogers
Liverpool's Chief Scout in South America told a journalist its bullshit. They aren't going for Luan. Liverpool don't need a striker unless they plan on selling 2-3

Is chelsea looking for rotation players? what a shit list
William Thompson
I don't r8 them that highly but they will be better than literally nobody as depth
Yes, they are Not really that shit for depth signings desu
Matthew Reed
>oxlade chamberlain You certainly can lad
Lucas Perry
Exactly. So where is this coming from?
>not rating Ox Piss off Shitzen, you're a joke that keeps on giving.
Ryan Johnson
Just not good enough. Need some of dat ROI
Caleb Jones
Ox has literally improved massively last few months. He's a good depth player and not realising this for a 23 year old is useful for teams, then you'll never make it in football. Consider suicide.
Wyatt Garcia
I don't disagree with you, but Ox would still be considered a rotational player at Chelsea. He'd flourish in a team like spurs or liverpool.
Jackson Clark
Carvalho and Martins to Arsenal WHEN WONGA WAKE UP
Aiden Sullivan
That's what I said. Chelsea need depth. Better to get a guy that counts as home grown and can do 30 mins every game.
I remember when Austria used to pretend to be an Arsenal fan.
Ethan Rodriguez
I doubt he'd start at Spurs either

he's mentally broken already lad. biggest flop of the season, guarantee it
Eli Howard
Exactly mate, the important thing is he got in the right position and worked hard for the team. The class always rises to the top and Torres will be no exception.
Kayden Martinez
Has he got a penalty on target yet?
Luke Brown
lad..
Zachary Cook
put your money where your mouth is
Hudson Garcia
He's still overrated in the current climate cause any Premier league team will have to overpay for him massively. And we also have to consider that memes aside, Wonga is damn good at getting guys like ox to perform and there's no guarantee that he will pick up where he left off if he goes to the bridge.
Nathan Brooks
Why did Conte sell him?
Brandon James
I guess I can agree with that.

What the fuck is wrong with Chelsea? All striker they touched turn into shit.
Michael Howard
And the one good striker they do get wants to fuck off
Blake Perry
Imagine telling your star striker to fuck off before you've found yourself an adequate replacement and then panicking and buying a career substitute for £70m. All the while praying that the season he had last year was a sign that he's becoming a goal scorer and wasn't just an exception to his otherwise completely average time in top flight football. HOWLING.

>Brighton are set to break their transfer record for the third time this summer after agreeing a deal to sign Colombian international Jose Izquierdo from Club Brugge. The 25-year-old winger, who will join in a reported £13.5m deal, will complete the move after a medical. Izquierdo scored 15 goals in the Belgian Pro League last term. Seagulls boss Chris Hughton described him as "one of the standout players" in Belgium over the past three years.
