Andy Collier: Saw Neymar at Euston this morning, asked me where he had to change for Bolton.... could it be?

There has been uncertainly over Javier Hernandez's Hammers future for much of the summer.
Initially it was felt the Mexican was certain to leave, then there appeared to be a change of heart.
However, a decent start to the season for Manuel Pellegrini's side, coupled with the knowledge Hernandez had less than a year remaining on his West Ham contract, has convinced the club to agree to the player's request to leave.
West Ham signed Hernandez from Bayer Leverkusen for £16m in 2017.
The former Manchester United man made 55 Premier League appearances for the Hammers, scoring 16 goals, including one, against Brighton, this season.

Last week Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama looked set to join Club Bruges after the two clubs agreed a deal, but now it looks like the deal is OFF.
Part of that is down to the Belgian club deciding they prefer FC Basel's Colombian defender Eder Balanta instead.
Busy day for Sunderland as along with the potential signing of Celtic winger Scott Sinclair, they are also in for Leeds left-back Laurens De Bock.
The 26-year-old former Belgium U21s defender is surplus to requirements at Elland Road.
He signed for Leeds in January 2018.

Ryan Flint: Half of the PL are off to Italian clubs. We ought to be careful, they might be UCL challengers sooner than not. On another note, I can’t believe how much negative coverage Hazard has received since his Real move. Seeing as he was easily the best in the PL!
And yes, I am aware that last post was a shameless plug.
I remain shameless.
Around this time last year I wrote a piece on Fifa's The Best Awards.
And just how no one seemed to be able to make sense of them.
I mean, Idris Elba presented the ceremony wearing a weird waistcoat for a start. The there was Mo Salah winning bets goal, when even his own team-mate James Milner said it was only the 'seventh best'.
Here's my take on the 2018 awards.
I can barely contain myself.

Whilst the straight Sanchez/Mkhi swap didn't work, Mkhi definitely helped bring Auba in and for that I am grateful.

How on earth has Kane been nominated for the Best? Unremarkable season. Alisson, Sterling, Silva all better choices off the top of my head.
Robin, Liverpool
Confused? Don't be.
The Argentinian striker is set to sign a contract extension at Inter Milan, but will also move to Paris St-Germain on loan for the season.
Mauro Icardi has been the subject of interest for Juventus and Roma, but is understood to have opted for a move to French champions PSG.
Does this pave the way for Neymar to leave Paris for Barcelona?
