Monaco chief executive Thiago Scuro has defended the club’s conduct after deadline-day moves for Lamine Camara and Folarin Balogun both collapsed, saying Monaco were unfairly portrayed as “the bad guys in the room”.

The Ligue 1 club had been involved in two separate deals as the summer transfer window closed. Balogun was expected to join Everton, while Chelsea attempted to sign Camara after selling Enzo Fernandez.

Neither transfer was completed, leaving Monaco with two players who had appeared close to departing and prompting criticism of the club’s handling of the negotiations.

Scuro said Monaco had been under financial pressure to generate income because of regulations, but insisted their priority had always been to retain Camara. He added that the club was willing to consider selling Balogun.

"We needed to generate money, pushed by the regulations. We had two topics in mind (selling Lamine Camara or Flo Balogun). We made clear that our priority was to keep Lamine at the club. We were open to the transfer for Balogun.

"During the day, we had a clear agreement for Balogun to go to Everton. Balogun flew yesterday morning to go for his medical and sign a contract. Our plan worked very well in this moment..."

According to Scuro, Chelsea initially continued to explore whether Monaco might change their position on Camara after completing the sale of Enzo Fernandez.

"This was the situation until mid-afternoon. What happened is that Chelsea was always testing and trying. 'What about Lamine? What about Lamine?'

"Around 1600 yesterday, we got a contact from Chelsea. Okay, we sold a player in this position (Enzo Fernandez). Deal done. Is there any possibility that Monaco is open to selling Lamine? The answer was the same. No."

While Balogun was undergoing his medical in Liverpool, Everton raised concerns about the striker’s medical condition. Scuro said those concerns were considered unfounded by both Monaco’s medical team and the player’s own advisers.

"Balogun was in Liverpool undergoing his medical. Everything was going pretty well. Around 1900, we were contacted by Everton raising questions about Balogun’s medical which, for our medical staff, as well as for the player’s personal medical staff, made no sense at all."

Scuro said Chelsea then saw an opportunity to revive talks over Camara, believing Monaco might need to sell because the Everton deal for Balogun appeared to be in difficulty.

He said negotiations began at about 20:00 and that he personally spoke to Camara about the terms of a possible move to Chelsea, while discussions over Balogun’s medical continued.

However, Everton later confirmed they were ready to proceed with the Balogun transfer. Monaco therefore ended their discussions with Chelsea over Camara, according to Scuro.

"Because of this we become the bad guys in the room. People say 'Monaco is not fair, Monaco is not right.' It's too much."

Scuro said the Balogun deal then had only five minutes remaining when the paperwork was completed by Monaco and Everton. The transfer ultimately failed because the player chose not to sign the contract.

"And what happened was that around 2200, Everton realised that, 'OK, there is no problem'. We are ready to do it. Let’s sign the contract. As soon as we got the information, we came back to Chelsea and thought, 'OK, we have our deal there (with Everton). There is no deal on (with Chelsea).' It’s also fair to do this. It’s also part of the game.

"Then with Balogun, we had five minutes to spare (to finalise the deal). I signed the contract. Everton signed the contract. At the last moment, the player decided not to sign."

Scuro said Balogun felt uncomfortable committing to a long-term contract after the way he believed the club had treated him and after Everton’s medical department raised concerns about his health.

"Balogun’s allegation is, 'I’m not feeling well because of the way the club treated me. I’m not feeling well because Everton’s medical department raised doubts about my future or my health. I have nothing (no medical issues), so I’m not comfortable signing a long contract here'. And that’s how we finished our transfer window."

The United States international had been expected to complete a £40m move to Everton, replacing Iliman Ndiaye, who joined Manchester City.

Scuro said he did not want to create conflict with either Chelsea or Everton, but remained confident Camara would attract stronger proposals in future.

"I don’t want to create war with Chelsea, I don’t want to create war with Everton" but he said Camara "will have better options and offers than the one he had yesterday".

Arsenal turned down the opportunity to sign Malick Fofana this summer after manager Mikel Arteta raised concerns about whether the young winger could cope with the physical demands of the Premier League.

Lyon were prepared to sell Fofana to Arsenal for a fee of about €40m, but the proposed move did not progress. According to The Athletic, the French club offered the Gunners the chance to sign the 21-year-old after Sporting director Andrea Berta held discussions with Fofana’s representatives, Roc Nation Sports.

Arsenal were only willing to consider taking the Belgium international on loan, with the club also wary of moving too close to UEFA’s spending limits. However, the report says Arteta’s reservations about Fofana’s physicality were another significant factor in the deal failing to materialise.

Fofana is regarded as one of the most promising young Belgian wingers in Europe. He has built his reputation on explosive acceleration, progressive ball-carrying and his ability to create chances.

Those qualities had reportedly attracted Arsenal’s interest as they reshaped their attack following the sales of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli. The North London club ultimately decided against making a move for Fofana, who was viewed as a player with significant potential rather than an immediate solution.

The winger has since joined Premier League rivals Sunderland, who won the race to sign him ahead of Crystal Palace.

Arsenal have instead added left-sided attacker Christos Tzolis to their forward options after Leandro Trossard moved to Besiktas earlier in the transfer window. Fofana’s departure to Sunderland means Arsenal have missed their opportunity to pursue the Belgium international this summer, although the club had continued to monitor his progress.

The decision reflects the physical demands associated with the Premier League, widely considered the most demanding league in Europe. For Arsenal, the combination of financial restrictions and uncertainty over Fofana’s ability to adapt meant that a potential long-term investment did not become a permanent transfer.

Fofana had been available at a price Lyon considered acceptable, but Arsenal’s preference for a loan arrangement did not match the French club’s willingness to sell. With Arteta also unconvinced that the player was ready to withstand the intensity of English football, discussions ended without an agreement.

Sunderland have now secured the services of a player who was previously considered by Arsenal and Crystal Palace. For Arsenal, the focus has shifted to their existing attacking options, including Tzolis, as Arteta continues to develop his squad following the departures of Jesus, Martinelli and Trossard.

Chelsea and Alonso were left furious after Monaco withdrew from a £47.1m agreement for Lamine Camara in the final hours of the transfer window, with the collapse leaving Chelsea’s midfield short of cover.

The Premier League club had reached an agreement with Monaco on deadline day, but the Ligue 1 side ultimately refused to complete the transfer. The decision came at the same time as Monaco’s proposed move for Folarin Balogun to Everton also fell apart.

Chelsea believe Monaco behaved in a “deeply unprofessional” way and sources at the club described the decision to abandon the Camara deal as “extraordinary”, according to The Metro.

The agreement had been reached after Chelsea allowed Enzo Fernandez to move to rivals Manchester City in a £125m transfer. Camara’s proposed arrival was therefore intended to strengthen a midfield that has now been left exposed following the late collapse.

Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Monaco cancelled the agreement with Chelsea as the French club instead continued working towards Balogun’s sale to Everton, a deal they believed would be completed.

The Sun reported that senior figures at Chelsea were astounded by the breakdown of the transfer, particularly because an agreement had already been reached so close to the deadline.

The circumstances have also prompted speculation about Liverpool’s possible influence on the situation. Transfer expert Ben Jacobs said Liverpool had contacted both Monaco and Camara’s representatives and urged them to wait until a later transfer window.

Jacobs said Liverpool did not want to sign Camara immediately because Alexis Mac Allister remained at the club, but suggested they could return for the player in 2027.

“Liverpool made a call this evening, and more than one I am told, to say the camp of Camara wait, and to say to Monaco wait, because Liverpool don’t want Lamine Camara now, Alexis Mac Allister is still at the club, Liverpool said to Monaco, ‘wait’, Liverpool said to Camara, ‘wait’.

“To be clear, so this is not taken out of context, we’re not saying Liverpool interfered in the deal relating to Chelsea, we are saying all day, Liverpool said to Monaco and Camara, ‘if you do not get your move, we will be back for you potentially in 2027.”

The comments suggest Liverpool’s interest may have encouraged Camara and Monaco not to rush into completing the move to Chelsea. However, Jacobs stressed that he was not claiming Liverpool had directly interfered with Chelsea’s negotiations.

Chelsea are now left without the midfield addition they had expected to make on deadline day, while Camara remains at Monaco after the French club took the decision to abandon the agreement.

Chelsea’s proposed £47m move for Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara has reportedly fallen through after the Ligue 1 club reversed its decision at the final stage of negotiations.

Chelsea had reached a full written club-to-club agreement with Monaco for the 22-year-old, who had been identified as their preferred replacement for Enzo Fernandez. However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Monaco have now withdrawn from the deal while continuing with the sale of Folarin Balogun to Everton.

The development has left Chelsea furious, with the Premier League club understood to regard Monaco’s decision as a deeply unprofessional way to conduct transfer business. The agreement between the two clubs had reportedly been completed in writing before Monaco changed position.

Camara’s move had appeared to offer Chelsea a solution in midfield, particularly with Fernandez’s proposed £125m transfer to Man City expected to be confirmed imminently. Instead, Chelsea now face the prospect of losing their preferred replacement without having secured another player for the position.

The reported collapse comes at a difficult stage for Chelsea, who are now short of midfield options as they prepare for Fernandez’s expected departure. Xabi Alonso currently has Moises Caicedo, Valentin Barco, Jordan Henderson, Romeo Lavia and captain Reece James available in that area of the squad.

Camara had emerged as the player Chelsea wanted to bring in to fill the vacancy that would be created by Fernandez’s move. The reported £47m agreement with Monaco indicated that the clubs had progressed beyond preliminary discussions and into a formal arrangement.

That understanding is now no longer expected to lead to a transfer, with Monaco instead proceeding with Balogun’s sale to Everton. The change in approach has put Chelsea’s recruitment plans under renewed pressure, given the timing of Fernandez’s anticipated move to Man City.

Chelsea’s frustration is understood to centre not only on the failure to complete Camara’s transfer, but also on the fact that the two clubs had already reached a written agreement. Monaco’s decision to go back on that arrangement has left Chelsea needing to reassess their midfield plans.

For now, Caicedo, Barco, Henderson, Lavia and James remain the players listed as available to Alonso in midfield. But with Fernandez’s £125m transfer to Man City expected to be confirmed imminently, Chelsea had been relying on the agreement for Camara to provide continuity in the position.

The proposed move is therefore off, according to the latest report from Romano, leaving Chelsea without the player they had regarded as their preferred Enzo Fernandez replacement.

Everton remain hopeful of completing a deal for Monaco striker Folarin Balogun, despite reports that the proposed transfer was at risk of collapse after the player failed a medical.

The Premier League club had recently agreed a package worth €45m, with a further €5m available in add-ons, to sign the 25-year-old United States international from Monaco.

However, the agreement came under serious threat when reports emerged that Balogun had not passed his medical examination. Balogun and Monaco both insisted that the striker was fine, but the development cast doubt over whether the transfer would be completed.

Everton have since renegotiated the proposed deal in an effort to keep the move alive. Under the revised terms, the fixed transfer fee would be lower, while the potential value of the bonuses would be increased.

According to David Ornstein, Everton are still optimistic that they can reach a final agreement and bring Balogun to the club.

The situation remains unresolved, but the latest discussions indicate that Everton have not abandoned their pursuit of the forward. Instead, they have adjusted the financial structure of the deal following the concerns surrounding the medical.

Balogun’s proposed move had appeared to be progressing after Everton agreed the initial €45m fee with Monaco. The additional €5m in add-ons would have taken the overall value of the transfer to €50m if the relevant conditions were met.

That agreement was subsequently placed in doubt after the medical report, creating uncertainty over whether Everton would be able to complete the signing. Although Balogun and Monaco maintained that there was no problem with the player’s condition, the report meant that the original terms could no longer be relied upon.

The revised arrangement gives the two clubs a possible route towards a compromise. Everton would pay less up front, while Monaco could receive more through performance-related bonuses if the relevant provisions were triggered.

David Moyes’ side had also considered Joshua Zirkzee as an alternative option while the uncertainty over Balogun’s transfer continued. Everton made a loan offer for the Manchester United forward, but that proposal was rejected because it arrived too late in the transfer window.

As a result, Balogun remains Everton’s main focus, with the club attempting to settle the outstanding issues and complete negotiations with Monaco. The striker’s reported failed medical has not ended the deal, but it has forced Everton to revisit the terms of the original agreement before the transfer can be finalised.

Manchester City have agreed a club-record £125m deal with Chelsea for midfielder Enzo Fernandez, with the Argentina international given permission to undergo a medical before completing the proposed move.

The fee would match the British transfer record set when Alexander Isak moved from Newcastle to Liverpool last summer. It would also make Fernandez the most expensive signing in Manchester City’s history.

The long-running transfer saga has dominated the summer, with Fernandez, 25, seeking a departure from Stamford Bridge since the beginning of 2026.

Fernandez had previously been linked with Real Madrid, an episode that led to the midfielder receiving a two-match suspension from Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior. However, the Spanish club later issued a statement making clear that they had no intention of signing him during this summer’s transfer window.

Manchester City subsequently emerged as the leading destination for the unsettled player. Former manager Enzo Maresca was reported to be keen to help push the transfer through, and the two clubs have now reached an agreement, according to David Ornstein.

If the move is completed, Fernandez will become the first player to command a transfer fee of more than £100m on two separate occasions. He joined Chelsea from Benfica for £106m in January 2023.

The proposed transfer would bring an end to his time in west London after a period in which his future had remained uncertain. Chelsea have now authorised him to take the next step towards joining Manchester City by allowing him to complete his medical.

The deal forms part of Manchester City’s wider midfield rebuild. The club have already signed England midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for £116m, while Ayyoub Bouaddi has arrived from Lille for an initial €95m.

Those arrivals, together with the planned signing of Fernandez, would represent a substantial investment in Manchester City’s midfield options. The £125m agreement would equal the existing British record while surpassing every previous transfer fee paid by the club.

Fernandez’s transfer from Benfica to Chelsea was already one of the most significant deals in Premier League history. A second move above the £100m mark would set a new individual landmark, subject to the medical and completion of the agreement between Chelsea and Manchester City.

The proposed switch would take Fernandez from Stamford Bridge to Manchester, ending months of speculation over where he would continue his career after his interest in leaving Chelsea first became apparent at the start of 2026.

Lyon winger Malick Fofana has told all parties that he wants to join Sunderland, despite Crystal Palace’s attempt to hijack the transfer.

Sunderland had initially reached an agreement with Lyon to sign the 21-year-old, but Palace subsequently entered the race and tried to divert the deal to South London.

The contest for Fofana’s signature appeared to be moving in Palace’s favour, with the winger reportedly set to reunite with his former manager Pierre Sage. Sunderland had begun considering alternatives, including Benfica forward Dodi Lukebakio, as uncertainty surrounded the proposed move.

However, the latest development has swung the situation back towards Sunderland. According to Fabrizio Romano, Fofana has made his preference clear and informed the clubs involved that he wants to move to the Stadium of Light.

The transfer is understood to be worth more than £30m. Fofana has made six appearances for Lyon so far this season and has scored twice.

His decision represents a significant development in the battle between the two Premier League clubs, after Palace attempted to intervene following Sunderland’s agreement with Lyon.

Palace will nevertheless complete a signing from Denmark, having agreed a deal to bring in Dario Osorio from Midtjylland on loan. The arrangement includes an option for Palace to buy the player permanently.

Fofana’s proposed move to Sunderland would see the club secure the winger after a late challenge from Palace threatened to change the destination of the transfer. His preference for the Stadium of Light has now placed Sunderland in pole position to complete the deal.

The interest from both clubs follows a period of uncertainty over Fofana’s next step. Sunderland had been working towards an agreement with Lyon before Palace made their approach, while the possibility of joining Sage in South London appeared to offer Fofana another route.

Instead, the France Under-21 international has chosen the Sunderland option, with the north-east club now expected to press ahead with the move. The fee, which is understood to exceed £30m, would make Fofana a major addition for Sunderland.

Palace’s move for Osorio means they have also acted in the market, but their pursuit of Fofana has not resulted in a change to his preferred destination. The Chilean winger will join from Midtjylland on loan, with Palace retaining the option to make the transfer permanent.

Fofana has scored two goals in his six Lyon appearances this season and is now set to become the focus of Sunderland’s transfer plans, provided the remaining details of the move are completed.

Chelsea have agreed a €55m deal with Monaco to sign Lamine Camara, according to Fabrizio Romano, as they move to secure a replacement for Enzo Fernandez before the transfer window closes.

Fernandez, 25, is on the verge of joining Premier League rivals Manchester City in a move worth £125m. That fee would be a joint British record, leaving Chelsea facing the prospect of losing one of their key midfielders while having limited time to bring in a successor.

The London club had been strongly linked with several potential replacements for the Argentina international. However, as the transfer deadline approached, there was growing uncertainty over whether Chelsea would complete a deal for a new midfielder in time.

That concern has now eased with the reported agreement for Camara, 22, from Ligue 1 side Monaco. The proposed fee is €55m, and the player has been authorised to travel for his medical as Chelsea and Monaco work to complete the formal steps of the transfer.

The move remains subject to the medical and the necessary paperwork being filed before the deadline. Those administrative requirements are particularly important given the limited time remaining in the transfer window.

Camara’s arrival would provide Chelsea with the midfielder they have identified as their preferred option to replace Fernandez. The Senegalese player is currently at Monaco and is expected to complete his medical before the transfer can be finalised.

Chelsea’s efforts to reinforce their squad have taken place against a backdrop of uncertainty elsewhere in the club’s transfer business. Folarin Balogun’s proposed move to Everton appears to have collapsed after the forward failed his medical.

That development has added another complication to a busy period for Chelsea, with the club attempting to complete incoming and outgoing deals before the transfer clock runs out.

Fernandez’s proposed switch to Manchester City remains the central development. His expected departure for £125m would represent a major change in Chelsea’s midfield, while Camara’s prospective arrival would give the club an opportunity to fill that vacancy immediately.

For now, Camara must complete his medical and Chelsea must ensure the transfer documentation is submitted in time. If those final stages are completed, the 22-year-old will become the club’s chosen replacement for Fernandez after Chelsea reached an agreement with Monaco.

Everton’s proposed deal for Monaco and United States men’s national team striker Folarin Balogun is in danger of collapsing, according to reports in France.

The Premier League club were understood to have reached an agreement worth €45m (£39m), with a further €5m (£4m) available in add-ons, to sign the 25-year-old forward from Monaco. However, L’Equipe reports that the transfer is now close to falling through, leaving Balogun’s future at the Principality club unresolved.

Everton’s move depends on the completion of Iliman Ndiaye’s £65m transfer away from the club. The sale has taken considerably longer than expected, and Everton need to finalise that deal before they can proceed with their attempt to bring Balogun to Goodison Park.

The delay has created a wider chain of uncertainty in the transfer market. Monaco are relying on the money from Balogun’s departure to complete their own move for Erik Lira. If Everton are unable to finish the Ndiaye sale and consequently do not complete the acquisition of Balogun, Monaco could also be prevented from securing Lira.

The developing situation has left Everton’s pursuit of Balogun under significant pressure, despite the reported agreement between the clubs. The striker could now remain with Monaco if the relevant transfers cannot be concluded in time.

Balogun’s possible move to Everton has also attracted interest from elsewhere. Aston Villa and Barcelona are both reported to be monitoring the striker, giving Monaco alternative potential destinations should Everton’s negotiations fail.

For Everton, losing out on Balogun would represent a major setback. The club have recently allowed Beto to leave for Fiorentina in Serie A, meaning a deal for Balogun had been expected to strengthen their attacking options after the Portuguese forward’s departure.

Balogun’s position at Monaco is therefore linked not only to Everton’s negotiations but also to the outcome of Ndiaye’s sale. Until that transfer is completed, Everton cannot complete their proposed move for the United States international, while Monaco remain unable to rely on the funds they need for their own business.

What had appeared to be a €45m agreement, potentially rising to €50m through add-ons, is now at risk of unravelling. If the impasse continues, Balogun may stay with Monaco, while Everton will have to consider other options following Beto’s move to Fiorentina.

Chelsea could return to the pursuit of Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara after Folarin Balogun reportedly failed his medical ahead of a proposed move to Everton.

The developments have potentially changed the situation around Camara, with Monaco still seeking a sizeable transfer fee and Chelsea facing the prospect of being short of options in central midfield.

The Stamford Bridge club had been strongly linked with a move for Camara, but negotiations had stalled because Monaco were holding firm on their valuation. The Ligue 1 club were reportedly asking for £60m, a figure Chelsea were unwilling to meet.

However, according to BBC Sport’s Sami Mokbel, the deal could now be revived after Balogun’s proposed transfer to Everton ran into serious difficulty.

Balogun had appeared set to leave Monaco for Everton, but reports that he failed his medical have placed the move in serious danger of collapsing. If the transfer does not go through, Monaco would remain without the income they had expected from his sale, potentially prompting them to reconsider their position on Camara.

Chelsea’s need for reinforcements in midfield has also increased with the £125m sale of Enzo Fernandez to Man City all but completed. The expected departure would leave Xabi Alonso with a relatively limited group of players for the central positions.

At present, Alonso has Moises Caicedo, Valentin Barco, Jordan Henderson, Romeo Lavia and captain Reece James available in that area. Chelsea had therefore identified Camara as a possible addition, although Monaco’s asking price had prevented the clubs from reaching an agreement.

The collapse or delay of Balogun’s move to Everton could give Chelsea another opportunity to negotiate. Monaco remain in desperate need of money, and that financial pressure may reopen the possibility of Camara moving to Stamford Bridge.

For now, the situation has not resulted in a completed agreement between Chelsea and Monaco. But the failed medical has altered the circumstances surrounding the deal, leaving the door open for Chelsea to renew their interest in the midfielder.

Folarin Balogun’s proposed transfer from Monaco to Everton is in serious doubt after the striker reportedly failed his medical with the Premier League club.

Everton have been widely reported to have agreed a deal worth €45m, with a further €5m available in add-ons, to sign the 25-year-old from Monaco. However, the move is now uncertain following developments during the medical process.

French journalist Fabrice Hawkins reported that Balogun had not passed Everton’s medical, leaving the proposed transfer in the balance. The report places the agreement at risk despite the two clubs reportedly reaching financial terms for the striker’s move.

Monaco and Balogun’s representatives maintain that the player is completely fit and ready to play. Their position means the transfer has not necessarily been ruled out, although it remains unclear whether Everton will proceed with the deal or whether further discussions will be required before a final decision is made.

The disagreement over Balogun’s fitness has created uncertainty around a move that had appeared to be progressing towards completion. Everton are understood to have identified the Monaco forward as a solution to their need for another striker, but his reported medical issue has complicated the proposed transfer.

Everton currently have only one natural number nine in their squad in Thierno Barry. Their need for greater depth in that position has increased following Beto’s departure for Fiorentina in a deal reported to be worth £16m.

Balogun’s proposed arrival would therefore have addressed an immediate need for Everton, but the club must now determine whether the striker’s medical results allow the transfer to go ahead. Monaco and the player’s camp’s insistence that he is fit could leave room for the deal to be revisited, even though it is presently in doubt.

For now, the transfer remains unresolved. Everton and Monaco have reportedly agreed the headline financial terms, but Balogun’s medical has become the key issue standing between the 25-year-old and a move to the Premier League club.

Dario Essugo is reportedly close to joining sister club Strasbourg on loan, with the deal expected to cover the remainder of the current campaign.

The 21-year-old joined Chelsea from Sporting last summer but has struggled to establish himself at Stamford Bridge after injuries disrupted his start at the club. He has been available for a loan move throughout the summer as Chelsea considered the best destination for his development.

Essugo was previously reported to be close to moving to newly promoted Hull. However, that proposed transfer did not go ahead after Hull opted to sign Everton midfielder Tim Iroegbunam instead.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Essugo will now move to Strasbourg, another club operating under the BlueCo ownership group. The French side is expected to provide him with the opportunity to play regularly for the rest of the season.

The move would give Essugo the chance to regain his rhythm after an unsettled period at Chelsea. His time at Stamford Bridge has so far been affected by injuries, limiting his ability to establish a regular place in the squad since arriving from Sporting.

Chelsea’s midfield options could also become more limited if the proposed move involving Enzo Fernandez goes through. Fernandez is set to join Manchester City for a joint British record fee of £125 million, according to the source article.

Should both transfers be completed, Chelsea would have five midfield options remaining on their books: Moises Caicedo, Reece James, Romeo Lavia, Valentin Barco and Jordan Henderson.

James is described as a versatile option and captain, although he has also been listed among the midfield choices in the current squad. Caicedo, Lavia, Barco and Henderson make up the other players identified as available in that area.

Essugo’s planned switch to Strasbourg therefore represents a temporary departure rather than a permanent Chelsea exit. The midfielder only arrived at the west London club last summer, but injuries prevented him from settling into the first-team setup.

His proposed loan to Hull fell through after the newly promoted side turned to Iroegbunam, leaving Strasbourg as the reported destination for the rest of the season. If completed, the move would keep Essugo within the BlueCo network while allowing him to continue his progression away from the immediate competition at Chelsea.

Chelsea have reportedly included a £75m option to buy Mykhailo Mudryk in the winger’s proposed loan move to Tottenham.

The reported fee would give Tottenham the opportunity to sign Mudryk permanently at the end of the season, should the deal go through as expected.

Chelsea had made the Ukraine international available for a temporary move because first-team opportunities at Stamford Bridge were expected to be limited under Xabi Alonso. Mudryk, 25, has been widely reported to be on the verge of joining Tottenham, where he would reunite with his former Shakhtar manager Roberto De Zerbi.

According to BBC Sport journalist Nizaar Kinsella, the agreement between the two clubs contains an option to buy worth £75m. That figure would represent a significant commitment from Tottenham if they decide to make Mudryk’s stay permanent after the loan.

The proposed move would bring Mudryk back into regular club football after a lengthy absence from competitive action. He has not played in a competitive match since November 2024, when he tested positive for a banned substance.

Mudryk has subsequently been cleared to return by the English FA and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). He featured for Chelsea during pre-season after receiving permission to resume playing.

The winger’s immediate future has remained the subject of strong speculation as Chelsea made him available for a loan. The expectation was that he could seek more opportunities away from Stamford Bridge, with competition for first-team minutes under Alonso set to be high.

Tottenham have emerged as the reported destination, with the prospect of Mudryk working again with De Zerbi adding a further element to the proposed deal. De Zerbi previously worked with the player during their time at Shakhtar.

If the loan is completed, the £75m clause would provide Tottenham with a route to keep Mudryk beyond the end of the season. The option would also give Chelsea a potential long-term outcome from the temporary arrangement, although the reported agreement does not confirm whether Tottenham will ultimately choose to take up the fee.

For now, the main development is the scale of the reported purchase option. Chelsea are understood to have included the £75m figure in a deal that would allow Mudryk to leave on loan, while Tottenham consider whether the move could become permanent at the end of the campaign.

Japanese forward Ayase Ueda has left Feyenoord to join French club Lille on a contract running until 2030, with the transfer reported to be worth €15m.

The 28-year-old completed the move after leaving Rotterdam following Feyenoord’s 2-2 home draw with ADO Den Haag. Lille president Olivier Letang was reportedly present at that match as the two clubs negotiated the final details of the deal.

Ueda arrives in France after finishing the 2025/26 campaign as the Eredivisie’s leading scorer. He scored 25 goals in 31 league appearances last season, establishing himself as one of the most productive strikers in Dutch football.

“I am delighted to be joining Lille, a club that is a force to be reckoned with in Ligue 1 and the Champions League. I was really impressed by the club, particularly by the style of football they play – which I really like – but also by their magnificent stadium and their supporters,” Ayase Ueda said on Lille's club website.

“My aim is to improve as much as possible and to continue to develop as a player. I want to give my all in this shirt and, through my performances, repay Lille for the faith they have placed in me.”

The Japan international has won 43 caps and scored 18 goals for his country, including two against Tunisia at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Letang said Ueda would become the first Japanese player to represent Lille and praised the striker’s all-round qualities.

“We are delighted to announce the signing of Ayase, who will be the first Japanese player to wear the LOSC shirt. Making the impossible possible is part of our DNA and our culture. Above all, however, we were looking for a well-rounded striker capable of making his presence felt in the opposition’s penalty area, as well as bringing experience and qualities that complement the players already in our squad.”

Ueda joined Feyenoord from Belgian club Cercle Brugge for €9m in 2023. He initially had to wait patiently for regular opportunities but went on to score 12 goals in 47 league matches for the club.

He began the current season in strong form, scoring three goals and providing one assist in four matches as Feyenoord recorded two wins and two draws in their opening Eredivisie fixtures.

“It means a great deal to me to be leaving Feyenoord after all the wonderful moments I’ve shared here with everyone,” Ueda said on Feyenoord's club website.

“I can only express my gratitude – for the faith and trust that the supporters and the people at the club have always shown in me, and for everything I was able to achieve last season. I’m delighted that I was able to finish my time at Feyenoord as the club’s top scorer and that, last Sunday, I got to experience one last time what it’s like to score at De Kuip.”

Ueda also thanked Feyenoord’s supporters for their backing during his time at De Kuip and said he hoped to return to the stadium in the future.

“What these years at this club have given me is unforgettable. I hope we’ll meet again one day and that I’ll get to hear the song the supporters always sang for me one more time. Thank you for everything; it’s been wonderful.”

His departure leaves Feyenoord with only two senior strikers: Shaqueel van Persie and summer signing Nacho Ferri. Neither player has scored this season.

Feyenoord also lost Casper Tengstedt on Monday, with the Danish striker completing a move to Toulouse.

The Dutch club are expected to look for a new first-choice striker before the transfer window closes.

Everton have reached an agreement with Monaco over the transfer of striker Folarin Balogun, with negotiations over the player’s personal terms now expected to take place.

The proposed deal, reported by Fabrizio Romano, would see David Moyes’ side pay Monaco a fixed fee of €45m for the 25-year-old forward. A further €5m in add-ons is also included, along with a sell-on clause that would benefit the Ligue 1 club in the future.

Everton must now reach an agreement with Balogun before the transfer can be completed. The negotiations with the player represent the next stage of a deal that has already been agreed between the two clubs.

Balogun was a key figure for Monaco last season, scoring 19 goals and supplying four assists in 43 appearances across all competitions. His contribution made him an important part of the club’s campaign and helped establish him as one of their leading attacking players.

The striker also maintained that form during the summer’s World Cup with the USA. Balogun scored three goals in four appearances before his side were eliminated by Belgium in the last 16.

His involvement in the tournament was also marked by controversy. FIFA decided to ‘suspend’ the red card Balogun received against Bosnia, following a phone call between FIFA president Gianni Infantino and Donald Trump.

Everton’s agreement with Monaco gives the Premier League club a clear route towards signing Balogun, although the transfer is not yet complete. Personal terms still need to be settled, and the final move remains dependent on those discussions.

The structure of the proposed agreement means Monaco would receive €45m up front, with the potential for the total value of the deal to rise by a further €5m through add-ons. The inclusion of a sell-on clause provides the French club with the possibility of benefiting from a future transfer involving Balogun.

For Everton, the move would bring in a striker who scored regularly for Monaco last season and carried that effectiveness into international football. Balogun’s record of 19 goals and four assists in 43 matches was followed by three goals in four World Cup games for the USA.

The USA’s tournament ended with defeat by Belgium in the round of 16, while Balogun’s red-card incident against Bosnia became the subject of FIFA’s decision to suspend the punishment. Those events formed part of a summer in which his performances and disciplinary situation both attracted significant attention.

For now, the clubs have reached agreement, but Everton and Balogun must still settle the player’s personal terms before the transfer can be finalised.

Everton have made a bid for Monaco and United States Men’s National Team striker Folarin Balogun, with the Premier League club believing they can sign the 25-year-old for less than the French club’s £40m valuation.

BBC Sport understands Everton have moved forward with their interest in Balogun and are attempting to negotiate a deal below the price set by Monaco.

Balogun enjoyed a prolific campaign for Monaco last season, scoring 19 goals and registering four assists in 43 appearances across all competitions. His performances established him as an important part of the club’s attack and attracted further attention ahead of this summer’s World Cup.

The striker continued that form on the international stage, scoring three times in four matches for the United States. Their tournament ended in the round of 16, when they were eliminated by Belgium.

Balogun’s World Cup campaign was also overshadowed by controversy surrounding his dismissal in the United States’ match against Bosnia. FIFA decided to ‘suspend’ the red card he received after a request from Donald Trump.

Despite that incident, Balogun’s scoring record for both club and country has made him a target for Everton as they look to strengthen their attacking options. The Merseyside club are understood to believe Monaco’s £40m valuation can be reduced, and their bid represents an effort to reach an agreement on more favourable terms.

Everton have also identified Tottenham forward Richarlison as another possible target. However, the Brazil international is understood to have major reservations about returning to the Merseyside club.

The pursuit of Balogun therefore gives Everton an alternative attacking option, with negotiations focused on whether Monaco will accept a fee below their stated valuation. The club’s opening bid has placed the striker at the centre of Everton’s current transfer plans, although the available information does not indicate that an agreement has yet been reached.

Balogun’s output last season, combined with his contribution at the World Cup, is likely to be central to Monaco’s stance over his future. Everton, meanwhile, are attempting to use their assessment of the player’s value to secure a deal for less than the £40m figure being sought.

The decision now rests on whether Monaco are prepared to compromise on their asking price and whether Balogun’s position on a move becomes clear. At the same time, Everton’s interest in Richarlison remains part of their recruitment plans, although the Brazilian’s reservations could make a return to his former Merseyside club difficult.

Arsenal are considering a move for Lyon winger Malick Fofana as Mikel Arteta’s side continue their search for a new left-sided attacking option.

Fofana, 21, has returned to action after recovering from a serious ankle injury that ruled him out for roughly six months and brought his 2025-26 season to an abrupt end.

The Belgium international had been beginning to establish himself before the injury interrupted his progress. He is now back to full fitness and has resumed an influential role for Lyon, scoring twice in six appearances so far this season.

According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Arsenal are assessing whether to make an approach for the winger. The Premier League champions are understood to be keen to strengthen on the left after missing out on several other targets, including Morgan Rogers, Vinicius Junior and Bradley Barcola.

Fofana is reportedly very interested in joining Arsenal, while Lyon are facing strong financial pressure to sell. The French club need to raise funds to balance their accounts after failing to qualify for the league phase of the Champions League.

That combination could make a transfer possible, although Arsenal’s interest remains at the stage of considering a move rather than having reached an agreement with Lyon.

Fofana’s return comes after a difficult period in which his development was halted by the ankle problem. Before being sidelined, the Belgian had been making progress and showing why he attracted attention from clubs elsewhere. His two goals since returning have provided an early indication that he has regained his place in Lyon’s plans.

A move to Arsenal would represent a significant opportunity for the winger, who is said to be keen on the possibility. Arteta’s team have already seen attempts to recruit other attacking players fail, with Rogers, Vinicius Junior and Barcola all mentioned among the players they missed out on.

Fofana was also the subject of interest from Crystal Palace. Palace came close to reaching an agreement with Lyon for the winger, but the transfer did not happen because Fofana was not interested in moving to Selhurst Park.

Lyon’s need to sell, Fofana’s reported desire to join Arsenal and the Premier League club’s requirement for a left winger could therefore become important factors in any potential negotiations. For now, Arsenal are weighing up the move as Fofana continues his return to regular football.

Manchester United academy defender Habeeb Ogunneye has completed a permanent move to Arsenal, ending his time at Old Trafford after progressing through the club’s youth system and gaining experience in senior football.

The 20-year-old right-back was a regular for Manchester United’s Under-18s and Under-21s during his development at the club. He made his Under-18s debut in the 2021-22 season and subsequently featured in a number of youth and development competitions.

Ogunneye played in Premier League 2, the EFL Trophy, UEFA Youth League and FA Youth Cup during his time with Manchester United. His involvement across those competitions provided him with experience against a range of opposition and helped establish him as part of the club’s academy pathway.

He was also involved in Manchester United’s success in the 2023-24 Under-18 Premier League Cup. Ogunneye started the final as the Red Devils secured victory in the competition.

His progress at academy level also brought recognition from the first team. The defender was included in several senior squads during the tenure of former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, although the club’s information on his appearances does not indicate that he made a competitive first-team debut.

Ogunneye spent the previous season on loan at Newport County, where he made 21 appearances for the League Two club. The spell represented his first significant experience of regular senior football and added to the competitive experience he had gained with Manchester United’s younger sides.

He now leaves Manchester United on a permanent basis and will continue his development at Arsenal. The move brings to an end his association with the club where he made his Under-18s debut and progressed through Under-21 football before moving into the senior game on loan.

Manchester United have wished the academy graduate well for the future following his departure. Arsenal will now provide the next stage of Ogunneye’s development after his time in the Manchester United system, his involvement in youth competitions and his loan spell with Newport County.

The defender’s record at Manchester United included appearances at several levels, from Under-18 football to Premier League 2, as well as involvement in the EFL Trophy, UEFA Youth League and FA Youth Cup. His start in the Under-18 Premier League Cup final and inclusion in first-team squads under Erik ten Hag were further milestones before he moved into senior football with Newport County.

Ogunneye’s permanent transfer to Arsenal therefore marks a new chapter for a player who developed through Manchester United’s academy, gained competitive experience with Newport County and now moves to a new club to continue his progression.
