Liverpool are the club most-often linked with a move for the Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi but some of the continent’s other big hitters are now being chucked into the mix. The centre-back’s contract is up next summer and he could be allowed to enter discussions with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus at the turn of the year, which would see the Eagles potentially miss out on a massive wad of cash.
Manchester United are still doing their best to offload Antony but the main interested party is Real Betis. The Brazilian impressed in Andalucía in the second half of last season but the Spanish side might struggle to make a dent in the £82m fee that took the winger to Old Trafford. Naturally, the Premier League side will want as much of that back as they can get but it is going to be a struggle and beggars cannot be choosers. Another United player who might be on his way is youngster Ethan Williams, who could go to Croatian side Rijeka on loan.
Many people have Yves Bissouma on their Turkish Super Lig bingo card. The good news is they could soon be winners because the Tottenham midfielder is in talks over a loan move to Galatasaray.
It is taking a very long time for Chelsea to sort out signing Alejandro Garnacho, who has told everyone and his barber that he is eager to leave Manchester United for Stamford Bridge. The Blues therefore need an alternative, which they have found in the form of Barcelona’s Fermín López. Chelsea are yet to make an offer but have sounded out the player’s representatives to see if he might be open to swapping Catalonia for London.
Appeasing Nuno Espírito Santo is very important at Nottingham Forest. The head coach wants some full-backs so the recruitment bods have identified Leicester left-back Victor Kristiansen and have opened dialogue with the Championship side over signing the defender. There could be more business to be done at the City Ground if West Ham get their way and sign Ibrahim Sangaré after enquiring about the Ivorian central midfielder.
Fulham are at risk of losing midfielder Andreas Pereira who is wanted by Palmeiras and could be gone in a matter of days.
In transfers no one saw coming, Nathan Patterson is rumoured to be about to swap Everton for Sevilla. The Scottish right-back has not pulled up any trees since moving from Rangers and a sojourn to La Liga might be the tonic required. David Moyes wants to secure a replacement before his fellow Scot waves farewell. The three big options are Lyon’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Barcelona’s Héctor Fort and Norwich’s Kellen Fisher.
As you may have noticed, Yoane Wissa is rather eager to leave Brentford for Newcastle. If he is eventually granted his wish, the Bees would desperately need a new striker. At the top of the hitlist is Max Beier of Borussia Dortmund. The 22-year-old was left on the bench on the opening weekend of the Bundesliga season, so is almost certainly available.

Sheffield United have been absolutely terrible so far this season. The Blades have zero points from three matches under Rubén Sellés and realised they need to acquire some experienced players. Danny Ings is close to heading to Bramall Lane and he could be joined by Ben Mee, which would be two very logical signings.
