Chelsea have agreed £115m British record deal with Benfica for Enzo Fernandez.
They have agreed to pay more than his £105m release clause so that Benfica will take payment in instalments.

Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund are still in discussions over Jadon Sancho - as has been the case all summer. The appetite is there from all sides to get this done. United's interest is up to £91million - if and when they get to £100million the deal won't be far off...
Yes there was a human error in the Tottenham - Liverpool game, horrendous...but why is that more important than the penalty Wolves had given against Luton? It isn't.
Liverpool have every right to be aggrieved, but their case is no more important than the others - despite the…
Manchester United increasingly confident over Jadon Sancho. He won't be a United player before England start their Euro 2020 campaign but he should be by the time they finish it...
Chelsea still short of matching Sevilla's Jules Kounde valuation after making bid.
Barcelona still keen but Chelsea very much looking to secure a player who has long been in their sights.

Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are taking again about Saul Niguez deal. Talks broke down between player and club last week, but Chelsea have come back as Thomas Tuchel wants another centre midfielder. Will be a loan.
The arrival of Diaz could see Liverpool allow departures with Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino both the subject of offers this month...busy end to the window for Jurgen Klopp.
They would also take Fabio Carvalho this month if Fulham agreed to deal.
Liverpool have agreed terms with Porto for Luis Diaz - meeting their €60m asking price, which is €45m (£37m) initial payment followed by €15m in add-ons. Long-term target and they have now beaten Spurs - who made a bid last week - to his signature.
Tottenham had a major breakthrough over night with Juventus on Paulo Dybala - Juventus are helping to cover the player's wages, making the deal possible. Spurs now confident they can get Dybala, Lo Celso and Sessegnon all over the line today...👏👏👏
Sheffield United leading the chase to land Rhian Brewster on-loan from Liverpool. Chris Wilder is trusted by the big clubs to look after their players - would be a good fit for The Blades.
Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial both close to signing new long-term deals. They are the cornerstone of Manchester United's future, potentially as good as anything in the world and the Old Trafford hierarchy know it.
Arsenal have made a major breakthrough in their pursuit of Declan Rice after agreeing to pay West Ham more than £100m for the England midfielder.

Newcastle are ready to push ahead with moves for Marseille's Bamba Dieng and Lyon's Lucas Paqueta.
The prices for both players fit well into Newcastle's budget and they are have both been on the club's radar since the turn of the year.

Arsenal ready to push for midfielders in January.
A lot of work has gone into Youri Tielemans and Danilo.
Leicester don't want to sell in January as it stands, so a summer free likely. Deal for Danilo progressing.

Newcastle have tabled an offer for Lyon's in-demand Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. The £33m fee is what they are looking for...danger is other clubs, mainly Arsenal and Juventus.
Liverpool ready to make an offer for Chelsea's Levi Colwill and they are confident of being able to lure him away from Stamford Bridge.

Manchester City set to confirm Julian Alvarez signing.
As we revealed last week, deal will be around £20m including taxes and other payments.

Jean-Kevin Augustin is a fantastic signing for Leeds - their DOF Victor Orta pulling one out of the bag, as he did on more than one occasion at Middlesbrough. And he and Leeds still are not finished, they want another forward...
Liverpool agree deal with Fulham for Fabio Carvalho.
As we revealed last week, Liverpool were pushing for permanent deal.
Fulham wanted £15m to move now - but have come down to £10m as they will keep him on-loan.
Nottingham Forest will play in the Premier League for the first time this century after a 1 -0 victory over Huddersfield at Wembley.
But, and it's a big but, the officials and VAR have ruined the possible outcome of this match. Huddersfield robbed of two clear late penalties.
Chelsea ready to make move for Leicester's Wesley Fofana.
Thomas Tuchel wants three central defenders this summer - still only has one, club scouring Europe for the best defensive talent.
Little doubt Fofana ticks that box.

West Ham played some fantastic stuff at Wolves and they are worthy of their top four place at the moment. No matter where they finish David Moyes is Manager of the Year, no question. Has done a remarkable job.
🚨Understand that Newcastle are looking to finalise deadline day deal for Jesse Lingard.
Dialogue between both Uniteds has remained, whilst Lingard's terms were already agreed.

Some Newcastle fans questioning if Harvey Barnes would be an upgrade and what they have...
Last season Barnes scored 13 Premier League goals for a poor Leicester side.
In his four Premier League seasons to date Allan Saint-Maximin has scored 12.
And as revealed at Easter - Newcastle have been looking very closely at Harvey Barnes for a while.
They want a left sided option and few better than him.
Given James Maddison's price - Newcastle also know they won't be paying over the odds for him too.
Arsenal open talks to land teenage full-back Ivan Fresneda.
Real Madrid have decided not use their option on him and Mikel Arteta wants to bring him to The Emirates.
Newcastle were very keen but Arsenal now heading the chase.
@90min_Football
Newcastle need to make room in their squad before the window closes and I understand that Middlesbrough are close to agreeing a deal for midfielder Jeff Hendrick.
Can reveal that Newcastle United are in advanced talks to sign Reims' Hugo Ekitike for £30m.
Outstanding talent - huge signing for Newcastle if they get it done, many in France believe he could be the next Mbappe.

I don't normally like Neil Warnock moaning about officials etc, however, today he is totally justified as Middlesbrough were subject to one of the most abject refereeing performances you will ever see. Horrific. Simply not good enough.

West Ham manager David Moyes is a huge fan of Mipo Odubeko - the former Man United starlet they snapped up little over 12-months ago. He is set to make his Premier League debut this weekend and could be the long-term answer up-front for The Hammers, they rate him that highly.
Hearing Alex Telles has been offered to Manchester City, as deal with Manchester United continues to stall - City want a new left-back and could be tempted by the Porto man...

A lot of people thinking this is a ludicrous fee etc - if Newcastle can get a player of Lindgard's quality to play for them in the final few months of the season, it greatly increases their chances of staying up - end of story!

I've said it once, I'll say it again - the EFL are NOT fit for purpose. Disgraceful how they have treated Middlesbrough - 19 players/staff out with Covid, yet being forced to play at Sheffield United. Told to recall loan players if needed. Shambolic.
Arsenal give Thomas Partey permission to explore Saudi Arabia transfer.

Adama Traore is ready to leave Wolves in January as he becomes increasingly frustrated with life at Molineux. A host of clubs interested, but news of Leeds interest does not surprise me. Leeds DoF Victor Orta loves him after signing him for Middlesbrough.

The streets of Newcastle must be paved with gold...after all the local MP can find nothing better to do with her time than to moan about Mike Ashley's ownership of Newcastle United in Parliament - disgusting waste of time...
Just finished speaking in my debate on the effective regulation of NUFC, highlighting the impossibility of ‘following the money’ under Mike Ashley’s ownership. Here are my closing remarks:
West Ham owner David Sullivan is being inundated with managerial options.
Two of those offered by intermediaries, including Jorge Mendes, are Ruben Amorim and Julen Lopetegui.
Neither are seen as likely options to take charge.
Chelsea are close to sealing a deal for Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy ahead of the likes of Andre Obama and Nick Pope. The 28-year-old Senegal international has been heavily scouted by Petr Cech, who also arrived at Chelsea from Rennes.
Arsenal consider late offer for Youri Tielemans - however, Leicester's relegation battle means they won't/can't consider letting him leave this month.
The Belgian will leave Leicester in the summer when his contract expires.
