🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Aston Villa reach agreement in principle to sign Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris Saint-Germain. #AVFC move for 18yo #PSG winger in process of being finalised: €55m. Nasser Al-Khelaifi & Nassef Sawiris relationship key to closing deal @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/0z6xxuHoko

Always have a moan this time every year at Premier League teams who have no European football resting players in the Carabao Cup especially if unlikely to get relegated. So good to see Everton, Newcastle and Tottenham playing strong teams tonight.

[Sam Ellard @SamEllard]

Just felt like one of the most obvious transfers to happen this summer....

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 EXCL: Emiliano Martinez offered to Chelsea by representatives & west London club considering possibility of signing 33yo goalkeeper before transfer window finishes. #AVFC open to Argentina int’l exit after Zion Suzuki made No1 + #CFC keen @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/y6ZUvgNWI6

[Sam Ellard @SamEllard]

All over the place at #LFC. Club have known Salah was leaving over eight months ago and it's less than a week to go until window closes with no right-wing addition is not good enough. From Barcola to Mbaye, Minteh to now Sarr - feels like the club is pancaking right now.

[Sam Ellard @SamEllard]

Two really bad and basic mistakes from Sanchez in the first game of the season. If Chelsea want to have any chance of challenging for the title they have to sign a keeper in the next week #FULCHE

[Sam Ellard @SamEllard]

Have a sneaky feeling Cole Palmer might make the next England squad in a few weeks time #FULCHE

[Sam Ellard @SamEllard]

It's remarkable that Chelsea have gone into this season with Sanchez in goal again. For a team have spent an incredible amount of money and have ambitions to get close to the title this season, how can the important people at the club not think a replacement is needed? #FULCHE

[Jay Harris @jaydmharris]

😮 How did Brentford sign “superb” Sangare for under £50m?

👏🏽 When central midfielders regularly go for more than £80m, Brentford have found another bargain

😄 Keane Lewis-Potter says his new teammate is “a joy to play with”

[Gaz @Gaz3putt]

Mad to think that if City had signed Wirtz they'd be selling him to Spurs this summer for £375m.

[Sam Ellard @SamEllard]

I guess the positive for Spurs is that they've still got Porro, van de Ven, Udogie, Maddison, Simons, Kudus, Kulesevski, Savinho and Marmoush to come into his team which on the evidence of the opening 37 minutes is a really really good thing #BRETOT

[Sam Ellard @SamEllard]

Antonín Kinský starting the season with his best Guglielmo Vicario impression. Really poor goalkeeping #BRETOT

Joe Root has won one in his last one Tests as captain

[Cricket slave @cricketslave]

And that's why Headingley haven't got an Ashes Test in 2027. The cardboard beer holders are useless.

[James Pearce @JamesPearceLFC]

Exclusive: Liverpool have had a £50million bid for Yankuba Minteh rejected by Brighton.
Club prioritising strengthening wide attacking areas in remaining days of the window and testing the market.

I know #TheHundred has its critics and I understand them but the quality of cricket over the last couple of weeks has been absolutely outstanding and a lot of fun to watch.

[Sam Ellard @SamEllard]

I really hope Martin Odegaard stays fit this season and gets back to his best because when he's on it he's one of the best players to watch in the league 👏#ARSMCI

[Sam Ellard @SamEllard]

All of these new rules that Fletch is reading out sound good but based on previous seasons with new rules, I'm guessing the referees will implement them for the first weekend and then just forget about them for the rest of the season #ARSMCI

[Sam Ellard @SamEllard]

Nice moment after the game after all the fans had left Henrik Pedersen went over to them to applaud them and say hello 👏

[Football Away Days @FBAwayDays]

Sheffield Wednesday fans unable to get tickets for the game decided to book an apartment next to the stadium to watch the game.

Look at them celebrating the penalty! Quality that! 🤣👏

[Sam Ellard @SamEllard]

Aston Villa always seem to be incredibly unlucky with injuries in recent seasons.

[Jacob Tanswell @J_Tanswell]

New: Joao Gomes and Brian Madjo expected to miss the start of the season through injury. Further scans will determine specific timeframe, but Gomes suffered a calf strain & initially anticipated to miss two-four weeks, while first indications suggest Madjo could be out until at least September.
