Sorry, but for those of us who don't follow european football very closely, who is Rasmus Hojlund? Is he any good or just overpriced?

He's the guy who'll be going out on loan to one of the Italian clubs this time next year.

Erling Haaland-like in stature, certainly has bundles of talent and only 20 years old. Burst on to the scene last season when he scored a hat-trick for Denmark in his first international start. The transfer fee seems enormous for a guy who got nine goals for Atalanta last season. Fwiw he has twin younger brothers who both play for Copenhagen.

I don't get the David Raya stuff. Arsenal have Ramsdale, who is an excellent young keeper and should really be England's no.1. Raya is good enough to start every week in the PL, and is improving. It would surely be a step back to sit on Arsenal's bench? Equally I don't know why Arsenal would pay £20-30m for a reserve keeper. And they've already got Matt Turner.

Probably trying to show everyone they mean business. Also can probably persuade almost any keeper to sign as they'd want the chance to play for an elite club and prove themselves as otherwise they'd be forever kicking themselves. But they will certainly give themselves the same issue as Liverpool have with Kelleher.

Al Hilal have offered Napoli €140m for Victor Osimhen, and would pay the striker around €1m a week. :shock:

Well that's a league that's going to crash and burn spectacularly when everyone gets to NetZero.

I guess the Sane/Mane aggro is deeper than at first seemed with Mane expected to join all those others in Saudi.

It is a strange one and surely Raya would expect to be a starter at most Prem clubs.
Maybe a surprise like when Joe Hart was suddenly not thought good enough to start for City.

Frustrating. The only reason Bayern getting Kane would be funny is that we'd get a front three of Kane Mane Sane.

Yeah its massively odd, don't understand it at all. Make zero sense for the player or Arsenal. Can only assume Raya has been promised the Champions League first choice keeper spot.

Daniel Levy has opened the coke and Spurs are now on the verge of signing Van de Ven, Tapsoba, Phillips, and Veliz

Either that or Spurs are suddenly anticipating an influx of money...

Another weird one this. Right-back Tino Livramento to sign for Newcastle for up to £40m including add-ons. England U-21 international who has played only 34 career games and missed last season with an ACL injury. And is he understudy to Trippier?
