An update on Chelsea’s reported move for Saul Niguez has emerged online with the UK transfer deadline having passed without an announcement from either club at the time of writing. Chelsea linked with Niguez switch Chelsea would see themselves linked with the Spanish international last week. The Telegraph then reported on Monday that Atletico Madrid were having second thoughts over whether or not they will allow Saul to leave on loan: Chelsea see bids to sign Kounde and Saul stall after both Spanish clubs move the goalposts on deals.

Everton sign Rondon Everton have capped off their summer transfer window with a move for Salomon Rondon. 31-year-old Rondon has plenty of Premier League experience having impressed with both Newcastle United and West Brom previously.

As per Everton, Rondon has signed on a free transfer and has penned a two-year contract with the option of an extra year. ✍️ | Salomón Rondón has joined from Dalian Professional on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract with the option for a third season. #EFC 🔵 — Everton (@Everton) August 31, 2021 After signing for Everton, Rondon had this to say : “I’m really glad to be back in the Premier League.

  Speculation in the English media on Monday evening has pointed towards an imminent exit for highly regarded Chelsea talent Tino Anjorin. Blues starlet 19-year-old Anjorin has long been viewed as one of the most promising young talents on the books in southwest London. The English youth international is an attacking midfielder by trade, but is also more than capable of lining out in a more orthodox central role in the middle of the park. Anjorin’s starring displays at youth level saw him named the captain of Chelsea’s Youth Cup side in 2019/20, with a further 4 goals and 4 assists across 10 Premier League 2 appearances last season having seen the teen’s star continue to rise.

  A series of updates on the work of Premier League giants Arsenal on the transfer front have been forthcoming on Monday evening. Turkey bound? The first surrounds a potential outgoing at the Emirates ahead of tomorrow night’s transfer deadline. The player involved? Mohamed Elneny. Egyptian midfielder Elneny is of course one of only four recognised senior central midfielders in Mikel Arteta’s squad as things stand, alongside Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka and summer arrival Sambi Lokonga. In turn, unless the Gunners are eyeing a late window splash, it would come as something of a surprise to see the 29-year-old moved on. But, if the latest word doing the rounds in the media this evening is anything to go by, then a transfer cannot be definitively ruled out. As per reliable Arsenal source The AFC Bell, an unnamed Turkish suitor (Fenerbahce are ruled out) has today emerged for Elneny’s signature. Arteta and co., in turn, have made clear that they will not stand in the way of a permanent dep

  A fresh suitor has emerged in the race for Chelsea starlet Callum Hudson-Odoi, according to reports. Blues hard at work Ongoings on the west of London have of course taken centre stage in the media over the last 24 hours. This comes as those in a position of power at Stamford Bridge go about trimming Thomas Tuchel’s heavily bloated playing squad ahead of the window slamming shut on Tuesday night. To this point in the summer, the likes of Olivier Giroud, Tammy Abraham, Kurt Zouma and Victor Moses have all been moved on on a permanent basis. Following this quartet out the door on Monday alone, meanwhile, have been both Tiemoue Bakayoko and Danny Drinkwater . Bakayoko returns to Italy on loan. 🇮🇹 We wish him all the best for the season. 🤝 — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) August 30, 2021 Highly regarded starlet Tino Anjorin also appears primed for an imminent departure, with a loan deal including an option to buy currently under discussion with Russian giants Lokomotiv Moscow.

  Premier League giants Arsenal have, on Monday evening, confirmed the departure of out of favour attacker Willian. Gunners woes The subject of Willian’s future of course came back to the fore in a major way over the last couple of weeks. This came with the Brazilian having not been afforded a single minute of playing time in any of Arsenal’s last six outings (including pre-season). Willian was brought to the Emirates last summer amid widespread concern on the part of the Gunners faithful, many of whom made clear their feelings that the 33-year-old was past his sell-by date.

Willian endured a torrid debut campaign in North London, notching just

  Portuguese international Renato Sanches is primed for a return to the Premier League with Wolves, according to reports. Wolves’ rocky start The opening weeks of the new season have of course proven far from straightforward for new Wolves boss Bruno Lage. The West Midlands outfit currently sit joint-bottom of the Premier League table, having failed to secure a solitary point, or even score a goal, across the club’s first three fixtures. In truth, however, their place in the English top-flight does not act as an accurate representation of Wolves’ performances thus far in 2021/22. In fact, the Molineux club have looked altogether impressive in all three of their outings, creating an absolute hatful of chances, only to ultimately lose out by a solitary goal. Wolves have created 4.87(xG) so far this season without scoring. — The xG Philosophy (@xGPhilosophy) August 29, 2021 Reinforcements on the way?

Tottenham vs Watford Tottenham would play host to newly-promoted Watford on Sunday afternoon. Spurs headed into the game looking to continue their fine start to life under Nuno Espirito Santo. The Portuguese has so far guided his new side to 1-0 wins over both Manchester City and Wolves in the Premier League. In turn, with Harry Kane back in the starting line-up on Sunday, another 3-point haul was widely predicted against the Hornets.

Newcastle held by Southampton Newcastle would play host to Southampton on Saturday afternoon. The Magpies headed into the clash still in search of their first win of the campaign. They began the season by blowing a 2-1 lead to lose 4-2 to West Ham, were then beaten 2-0 by Aston Villa, and then fell to Burnley on penalties in the League Cup earlier this week. Versus Southampton, Newcastle came within inches of securing a huge three points on Saturday. Steve Bruce’s side would take the lead in the tie on a pair of occasions, first through Callum Wilson after 55 minutes, and then in second-half injury-time via Allan Saint-Maximin. However, Southampton managed to find a reply on both occasions, as James Ward-Prowse’s 96 th -minute penalty earned the Saints a point on the day. Callum Wilson injury As well as surrendering the advantage twice, Newcastle were also dealt a blow on the personnel front on Saturday. Callum Wilson was the club’s top scorer last term, and has already netted two goal

  Liverpool have released an official statement, condemning the actions of the club’s supporters during their meeting with Chelsea. Salah cancels out Havertz The marquee fixture of the Premier League weekend of course played out at Anfield on Saturday evening. Liverpool welcomed Chelsea to Merseyside, for a meeting between two of the early favourites for the Premier League title. A tightly contested affair was widely predicted ahead of kick-off, with both the Reds and Blues having enjoyed flawless starts to the 2021/22 campaign. In turn, when all was said and done a little less than 24 hours ago, it came as little surprise to see the spoils shared. It was Chelsea who opened the game’s scoring midway through the first-half, when Kai Havertz’s wonderful piece of improvisation saw the German nod beyond the flailing Alisson from Reece James’ whipped corner: SENSATIONAL HEADER 💙 Kai Havertz loops one over Alisson and Chelsea lead at Anfield 📺 Watch #LIVCHE on Sky Sports PL or follow h

Wolves vs Manchester United The final Premier League outing of the weekend would play out a short time ago. The clash in question saw Manchester United make the trip to Wolves, aiming to bounce back from a 1-1 draw with Southampton last time out. Wolves, on the other hand, were aiming to both pick up their first points of the season, and score a first goal of the Premier League campaign, after losing 1-0 to both Leicester and Tottenham in the opening two game-weeks. Yet again, though, on Sunday, Wolves carved out a whole host of chances, but did not make them count. And though Man United were not at their best, they were still able to nick a 1-0 win thanks to yet another strike from Mason Greenwood: Greenwood puts Man U in the lead! 📺 Watch #WOLMUN on Sky Sports PL or follow here: https://t.co/3d7bEKaYec pic.twitter.com/IRvUlqvBfd — Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) August 29, 2021 Here are five things 101 learned from the game.

A report from the English media this weekend has provided an insight into Crystal Palace’s hunt for a striker. Crystal Palace need goals Palace’s start to the 2021/22 campaign has been fairly underwhelming. They would begin their season with a 3-0 hammering at the hands of European champions, Chelsea. This was followed by the Eagles failing to score a goal against newly-promoted Brentford, and being forced to settle for a 0-0 draw. Palace were then in League Cup action in midweek, but fell to a 1-0 defeat to Watford. Granted, they did then manage a credible draw on Saturday, in a 2-2 stalemate with high-flying West Ham. However, on-loan midfielder Conor Gallagher would score both of the goals for the capital club on the day. Gloriously Gallagher 🔥 #CPFC | #WHUCRY pic.twitter.com/IYBd2y6i2X — Crystal Palace F.C.
