Lyon’s former Manchester United forward Memphis Depay could be signing for Barcelona before the deadline.

Last night the sporting director of Lyon, Juninho, spoke to reporters after the 1-1 draw with Marseille: “He has reached an agreement with Barcelona, we don’t hide that at all.

"Maybe he’ll go to Barca (today) but nothing is certain, nothing is certain. The player most likely to leave is Memphis but if he stays he’ll hopefully help us to recover quickly and win some games.”

Memphis scored 15 goals last season in just 22 games, during a campaign interrupted by a serious injury.

You wonder whether the move will be dependent on Ousmane Dembele’s future though? Do Barca have to get rid of him before being able to bring in Memphis?

Meanwhile, back at Lyon, Juninho also confirmed that they are in advanced talks to sign Mattia De Sciglio on loan from Juventus.

That would free up some funds for Juve to make a signing of their own on deadline day.

Cost cutting at Brighton?

The Seagulls have started the season with just one win in their opening four games, it might be another struggle for Graham Potter's men.

Hit the thumbs

Still can't get my head around Sunday's action.

What a night it was for Aston Villa - that performance will have given a few Liverpool players a sleepless night.

Summer signing Ollie Watkins got his Premier League tally up and running in style with a hat-trick as the hosts recorded one of the most unbelievable scorelines in Premier League history.

London-based investment company Carteret Analytics advises three Premier League clubs, and another 12 leading sides from around Europe and the rest of the world, on potential new signings and transfer finances.

Here's their analysis on summer spending so far...

● Total transfer fee expenditure for each of the top five leagues is down in this transfer window, compared to the five-year average.

● Total spending on players in this summer transfer window in the Premier League is currently £1.120bn, which is 13% down on the five-year average. However, it is still over three times as high as the total spending in each of La Liga , Bundesliga and Ligue 1 , and double that in Serie A .

● It is also notable that total spending in each of the other leagues is significantly down so far in this window. In the case of La Liga and Bundesliga, total spend is down by nearly 50% against the five-year average.

Arsenal

In: Willian, Gabriel, Alex Runarsson.
