    Source at PSG says it is not true that Real Madrid have made another bid for forward Kylian Mbappe. The France international is staying at PSG.

    He is free to sign a pre-contract agreement in January if he chooses and leave for nothing next summer.

    Just under four hours remaining in the transfer window.

    What's the big one that we're waiting on, Saul Niguez to Chelsea?

  4. Postpublished at 18:58 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

    If Chelsea don't roll Bob Odenkirk out to announce the Saul Niguez signing, I'm out, I'm calling it a day because that is the biggest open goal a club will have missed.

    Chelsea midfielder Ethan Ampadu has joined Venezia on a season-long loan, which means it will free up a space in the Blues squad for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez to slot in.

    Growing confidence that deal will happen now.

    Currently a free agent, a sharp-looking Andrea Pirlo has tweeted he is in London today.

    Is he replacing Ethan Ampadu at Chelsea?

    Bet he could still do a job in the middle of the park.

  8. Sanches to Wolves offpublished at 18:47 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

    Simon Stone
    BBC Sport

    Wolves have abandoned their attempt to sign Renato Sanches from Lille.

    New Wolves boss Bruno Lage had hoped to add the Portugal international to his squad.

    However, it has now been established that Sanches has an injury that will keep him out for between two and three months, rendering a transfer pointless.

    It is understood Wolves are still hoping to do some business before the end of the window, although they may think they have done their best business by keeping hold of flying winger Adama Traore.

    Emerson Royal, 22, 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.

    It raises a question mark over the future of Serge Aurier, who is known to be surplus to requirements at Tottenham.

  15. 'No central midfielder is underwhelming'published at 18:28 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

    Manchester United

    Devesh Arora, UtdDistrict.co.uk:

    "Talking about potential moves, every United fan would have liked a central midfielder to come in, and not getting one is underwhelming to say the least. Daniel James has left to join Leeds today, a good move for him given how much he's admired by Marcelo Bielsa.

    "Jesse Lingard is another player whose future hangs in the balance, there has been plenty of interest in him, most notably from West Ham - but no concrete offer. Time is running out."

  16. 'Hughes a big loss'published at 18:25 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

    Watford

    Matt Rowson, BHaPPY website:

    "Transfer windows at Watford are rarely dull, but following promotion last season the summer of 2021 has been particularly dizzying at Vicarage Road. I make it 13 players brought in plus two loans with options/clauses to buy, and eight senior players departing as well as a number of kids released and countless loans out but I wouldn't swear to any of those numbers and in any case they may well have rolled upwards by the time I've finished writing this paragraph, let alone by the time you read it.

    "A number of those outgoings have been long-serving and established players, a function in part of being relegated during a pandemic and on getting promoted again, undesirably finding ourselves with players too close to out of contract for comfort. The midfield in particular has been completely overhauled with Will Hughes a big loss and Nate Chalobah likely to follow but Moussa Sissoko the most recent and prominent of a large number of new faces.

    "We have similarly brought in an array of attacking players which give us options whilst shunting Isaac Success and Stipe Perica out of the door with (whisper it) Troy Deeney exiting before the end of the window. How do I assess it? Heaven knows, but the signings individually look pretty impressive... plus we've once again held on to the crown jewel Ismaila Sarr. We can only hope that driver shortages aren't limiting access to gel as well as milkshakes and chicken, we'll need plenty."

    Big news being reported on Sky Sports.

    They are saying Kylian Mbappe's transfer from PSG to Real Madrid is "totally off".

    Reporter Kaveh Solhekol adds: "Real were willing to play 220m Euros today.

    "PSG have stalled, they did not get back and Real have walked away.

    "Real will sign the player on a pre-contract agreement in January for free."

    Going to have to hold this graphic until next year then.

  18. 'Zouma to slot straight in'published at 18:17 British Summer Time 31 August 2021

    West Ham United

    David Blackmore, Blowing Bubbles editor:

    "Until the signing of Kurt Zouma from Chelsea, there had been frustration about the lack of transfer activity from West Ham as we embark on a season that includes a European campaign. The impression I got was that Moyes was very happy with his starting XI and didn't want to spend money needlessly aka "If it ain't broke don't fix it".

    "I admire his confidence in his players to recreate the form that secured sixth place last season and entry into this season's Europa League but I fear - like so many other West Ham fans - that we are a couple of injuries away from our Europe-chasing team being turned into one that may struggle to flourish.

    "The loan signing of Alphonse Areola was certainly one with the future in mind, and offers real competition to Lukasz Fabianski. Zouma, on the other hand, is a player who does improve our defence. And based on our defensive frailties shown against Newcastle and Palace, I suspect he'll slot straight into the starting XI after the international break."
