  1. Sanches a '50/50 chance' for Wolvespublished at 10:25 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

    Wolves

    Richard Hobbs, Wolves Fancast:

    Wolves are looking at bringing in Renato Sanches on loan but it looks like it’s 50/50 on whether it will happen. I’m sure the football community is surprised to see a Portuguese football with Jorge Mendes as his agent linked to Wolves.

    He has undoubted potential and ticks all the boxes on what Wolves are looking for in midfield. He isn’t the same player who flopped on loan at Swansea years ago, fingers crossed Wolves can get it done.

  2. 'No more excuses for Solskjaer - he's got Ronaldo'published at 10:20 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

    Nedum Onuoha
    Former Manchester City defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Speaking on the Monday Night Club:

    "In the past you could say that Man United are a bit behind Man City, a bit behind this team and that team - that's not the case anymore. You've arguably got the best player in the world playing for your team alongside players who've had standout tournaments in the summer for their countries.

    "Do we believe that if Pep Guardiola or Thomas Tuchel was in charge of this Man United squad, would they be winning stuff? Most people would say yes. The pressure is on Solskjaer to win a trophy.

    "Ronaldo is known for more than what he does on the field. He's an all-out winner, he's obsessed with winning. That mentality is infectious.

    "You look at him on the field and think he may be a diva, but when you hear from people who've played with him, nobody's saying that."

    Head this way for the full episode.

    Ademola Lookman - Looks like another great signing for LCFC. We are desperate for a RW, never really filled since Mahrez left.

    With Lookman & Albrighton vying for that position its looking good. It is a 10/10 window for LCFC.

  8. Spurs agree fee for Barcelona defender Royalpublished at 10:06 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

    Tottenham have agreed a €30m (£25.75m) fee with Barcelona for Brazilian defender Emerson Royal.

    The 22-year-old has spent the last two seasons on loan at Real Betis.

    It is anticipated Emerson will battle for the right-back slot with Japhet Tanganga and Matt Doherty.

    Providing the deal goes through as anticipated, it raises a question mark over the future of Serge Aurier, who is known to be surplus to requirements at Tottenham.

  10. A busy day ahead for Watfordpublished at 10:01 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

    Geoff Doyle
    BBC Three Counties Radio sport

    It's likely to be a busy transfer deadline day again at Watford. Following Troy Deeney's departure yesterday another striker, Andre Gray, looks set to leave for QPR on loan. He's out of contract next summer so it's likely he's played his last game for the Hornets.

    Young defender Mattie Pollock joined Cheltenham on loan yesterday and the club might want to send another teenager, Kwadwo Baah, out on loan too.

    Midfielder Domingos Quina hasn't featured so far this season so he's another who could be heading out and there's also Nathaniel Chalobah who is out of contract in the summer and currently ill, plus Marc Navarro, whose futures are uncertain.

    As for players in, you can never rule out a Watford deal. The Hornets have been linked with Celta Vigo’s Turkey international midfielder Okay Yokuslu, who was on loan at West Brom last season.

    Odsonne Edouard is close to completing a £15m move to Crystal Palace from Celtic, who hope to sign Giorgos Giakoumakis from VVV-Venlo.

    The deal for French striker Edouard, 23, is subject to a medical with Patrick Vieira's Premier League side, which will take place this morning.

    Greece striker Giakoumakis was top scorer in last season's Eredivisie with 26 goals as VVV-Venlo were relegated.

    The 26-year-old has scored once in six appearances for his country.

    Meg: I’d re-sign Tim Cahill for Everton. Puts most of our current players to shame still with his passion for the club. Incredible work rate and loved by every single fan.

    Nathan: Instead of saying the obvious, Lukaku back to Everton I'd take John Stones back in a heartbeat given some of our CB play so far this season.

    Joe: With Everton's well documented need for someone to come in and take up Coleman's mantle at RB, it has to be Tony Hibbert. God love that man.

    Richard Hobbs, Wolves Fancast:

    "Ideally, Wolves signing a natural centre half and dynamic central midfielder would be perfect. Most of the centre backs have been converted to play there and we need to upgrade if we want to finish in the top half.

    "Wolves don’t have many options in centre midfield and given Bruno Lage’s style of play, Wolves will need reinforcements in that area as the season goes on."
