Booing Julián Alvarez during Atlético Madrid’s draw with Villarreal on Sunday has seemingly convinced the Argentinian forward to consider joining Arsenal in the window. The former Manchester City man has been kept out of the reaches of Barcelona, who may not have the funds to complete the signing, whereas the Gunners have plenty of cash to splash.
Alejandro Balde was left out of the Barcelona squad as they roared past Elche, as the Catalan club open the door for a move to Manchester United. A new left-back should solve all of the problems at Old Trafford, that’s for sure.
Jarrod Bowen has committed his future to West Ham, despite them being relegated and starting the Championship season in desperate fashion. Despite all that, perhaps he will be tempted by a £50m bid from Crystal Palace after a welcome to the Championship to forget? The Eagles were blunt at Everton over the weekend and could be about to initiate panic stations by splashing out quite severely for the Hammers skipper.
Losing 4-0 at Brighton is not going to do much for morale but it will make a team take drastic action in the market. Aston Villa have lined up Joel Ordóñez to solve all of their problems for the remainder of the season, if Club Brugge are willing to sell the centre-back.
There is only one way to bounce back from losing at Ipswich and that is to chase a £34m Barcelona player. Sunderland have tracked Marc Casadó throughout the summer and could be about to pounce for the 22-year-old, who has also been linked with most of the Premier League in recent weeks.
It is difficult to decipher if Cruzeiro’s Jonathan Jesus would sign for Strasbourg or Chelsea, but the talk in Brazil is that ownership group BlueCo want the 22-year-old centre-back. Real Betis, Valencia and Benfica are equally keen, adding a bit of jeopardy to the chase.
With Chelsea always looking to move on a few players, they will be ecstatic to hear that Napoli are contemplating a move for the striker Marc Guiu. Whether the Italians are up for splurging £25m on the Spaniard remains to be seen because the Serie A club currently believe the Blues’ valuation is a touch on the high side.
As alluded to, it was a fantastic start to the season for Hull on Saturday when they gave Manchester United a bit of a shooing. To help build on that, they have agreed a £15.4m deal to sign forward Mohamed-Ali Cho from Nice.

And despite his goal against Liverpool, Joe Willock is being linked with a move to Besiktas, the Turkish club apparently casting flirtatious glances towards the Newcastle midfielder.
