  1. 'Chelsea dream of being champions again'published at 00:12 British Summer Time 1 September 2021

    Chelsea

    Ramon Isaac, MowingMeadows:

    "The loan deal for Saul Niguez is one that makes sense for both player and club. He may have been out of form over the past year but can provide invaluable depth and competition in the one area of the Chelsea team that was lacking viable alternatives.

    "That’s not to say Saul is here to make up the numbers either, capable of filling the N'Golo Kante or Jorginho role in this Tuchel midfield, he’s not too dissimilar to Mateo Kovacic in that he’s technically proficient and can seemingly do it all but with the added bonus of having an eye for goal. Romelu Lukaku + Saul represent an amazing summer for the club and the dream of being Premier League champions once again."

  2. Costa leaves Leeds for Valenciapublished at 00:09 British Summer Time 1 September 2021

    Costa, 27, has three years left on his deal at Elland Road but is way down the pecking order with Dan James now arriving and with Jack Harrison and Raphinha first choice.

  6. 'Arsenal have to deliver after summer signings'published at 23:58 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

    Clinton Morrison
    Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It is going to be a difficult season for Arsenal. I think Ramsdale will turn out to be a good signing, but if you spend over £130m at Arsenal you have to start delivering.

    It has not been a good season, and the next game is Norwich - I am not joking, that is a relegation battle already.

    I'm only winding you up, Arsenal fans...

  7. Sarabia leaves PSG on loanpublished at 23:56 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

  8. Saul 'completes our squad'published at 23:53 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

    "He is a proven winner, a player with huge experience and we know he will be very well suited to the challenges that face us on all fronts in the coming year."

  9. Chelsea have option for permanent Saul transferpublished at 23:50 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

    Chelsea's signing of Saul Niguez from Atletico Madrid is a season-long loan deal with an option for a permanent transfer at the end of the season.

    "I am very excited to start this new challenge with Chelsea. Blues fans, I am one of you now and I can’t wait to wear the shirt, start training and see all of you. See you soon!" said the 26-year-old Spain international.

    Saul - who was previously linked to Manchester United - has played 447 matches for Atletico and scored 53 goals.

    Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It's one of those odd ones because Chelsea are loaded with players in every single position, yet Saul Niguez is a quality player - but you just think 'where?' I don't get it, I am quite surprised by that one.

    We're still waiting for confirmation that Chelsea have signed Saul from Atletico

    Charlie: So Arsenal have spent over £130m this transfer window, and does anyone genuinely think that their team is significantly better? Currently bottom of the league, will they improve to finish above last seasons 8th place? Doubtful. More problems than just Arteta

  17. PSG make one more signingpublished at 23:26 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

  20. Blades sign goalkeeper Olsen on loanpublished at 23:15 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

    BBC Sport

    Sheffield United have signed Swedish international goalkeeper Robin Olsen on loan from Roma.

    The 31-year-old looked good while on loan at Everton last season.

    Decent business by the Blades, given they got £24m for Aaron Ramsdale, who moved to Arsenal.
