Tuesday, August 29
11.30pm: Jamie Redknapp has explained Chelsea's pursuit of Leicester star Danny Drinkwater.
The Debate pundit said: "I think last year he was disappointing. The year before I thought he was fantastic and the relationship between him and Kante was brilliant. And I’m sure that Conte and Chelsea will have looked at that and thought: ‘He’d be a great acquisition’.
"[They’ve got] lots of games, it’ll thicken the squad up. He’s a good type. He’s a winner. [He] gets about the pitch. Something happened to him last year, the drop off after winning the league wasn’t just him, I think it was everyone.
"I can see exactly why they’d want him. I think he’s a good squad player. I think a few Chelsea fans might look down their nose at Danny Drinkwater. I think he’s a good player to have, good squad player."
10.30pm: Liverpool are poised to raise their bid for Thomas Lemar to £75m.
French champions Monaco have already turned down a £60m offer for the 21-year-old.
Lemar scored 14 times last season as his team reached the Champions League semi-finals and won their domestic title.
But Liverpool insist their move for the France international is not linked to the future of playmaker Philippe Coutinho.
9.50pm: Arsenal have rejected a £50m bid from Manchester City for Alexis Sanchez.
The Gunners want Raheem Sterling as part of a swap deal if they lose their star man.
But Pep Guardiola is keen to do a cash only transfer for the man he worked with during his time at Barcelona.
9.10pm: LEEDS DONE DEAL
Hamburg have confirmed Pierre-Michel Lasogga has joined Leeds on a season-long loan.
The Bundesliga side confirmed the striker's move on their Twitter feed.
They said: @Lasogga10 goes on loan to @LUFC for summer 2018.
"All the best for the season, Pierre!"
Leeds have been looking for a replacement for Chris Wood following his £15m move to Premier League side Burnley.
