🔴Another day with Lavia nowhere near getting on the grass. He’s miles behind Andrey and Essugo now. No shot of being in the squad for Palace. There is also no sign of Wes Fofana and Badiashile!!!

He is in the starting lineup for Ajax Amsterdam's first game of the season today.

Nice is negotiating for David Datro Fofana, and Toulouse are also interested. Chelsea are demanding a one-off transfer. Both Nice and Toulouse are trying to find a financial solution. Nice has instead raised the idea of a loan with an option to buy. Toulouse can afford a transfer fee estimated between €4m and €5m, but are being held back by the player’s salary demands. (@lequipe)

Soon after Maresca told the media that Chelsea needed to strengthen the defence, he was seen in conversation with Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart. (@NizaarKinsella)

Understand Chelsea are now willing to lower their £5m asking price for Alfie Gilchrist. A fee of £1.5m plus add-ons is viewed as acceptable with a sell-on clause likely in any deal. Gilchrist expected to leave before the end of the window. Championship and Saudi interest. (Ben Jacobs)

Newcastle have made an initial €80m offer for Nicolas Jackson, everything is in place and the deal is underway reports (@marca)

Exclusive: PSG reach an agreement in principle with Bournemouth for Illia Zabarnyi worth €63m plus add-ons. Zabarnyi's permission to travel is imminent pending small details. (Ben Jacobs)

Hmm, I haven't seen him play much, but what I do know is that he's very slow and a bit clumsy, and would be extremely expensive to buy from Brentford.

Newcastle United considering move to sign Samu Aghehowa from FC Porto. (David_Ornstein)
