"10 is one of the most emblematic squad numbers in football, due to the sheer number of football legends that used the number 10 shirt; playmakers, second strikers and attacking midfielders usually wear this number.

Charlie Austin?

I would be very happy if he gets Berahino correct, but I still say that one won't happen.

ARSENAL 'TO BEAT EVERTON TO PEREZ' Sky sources understand Arsenal look set to beat Everton to the signature of Deportivo striker Lucas Perez. Ronald Koeman's side were close to landing the 27-year-old having triggered his release clause, which we understand is around £17m. Arsenal's negotiations are thought to be at an early stage, but the chance to play Champions League football is likely to prove the deciding factor. Perez scored 17 La Liga goals last season.

Sunderland AFC ‏@SunderlandAFC Sunderland seal Manquillo deal.

Any reason?

TBF, I think he was first with it last night. (And then strangely, considering they copy everyone else, I thought SKY barely covered it last night)

Read the report above.

Telegraph Football ‏@TeleFootball Southampton set to sign Lille forward Sofiane Boufal for £21.2m, reports @JWTelegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/08/25/southampton-set-to-sign-lille-forward-sofiane-boufal-for-212m/

AR-10 says 2. Le Goddard says 3.

If it *is* Zaza, we would have spent some serious ££'s.

Not to mention something that just dawned on me: Zaza is left footed. Was he Guan's left-sided attacker?

@PeterHardingDM: Burnley have agreed a deal to bring Jay Rodriguez back to Turf Moor on loan from Southampton. #twitterclarets

#ITK_Watch

Speaking of which... Di Marzio reporting West Ham getting closer to signing Zaza: http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/eng/west-ham-zaza-is-edging-closer-the-financial-details/ (Loan, with option to buy).

Ghezzal?

TBF to them, they probably know a player when they see one too.

Sunderland AFC ‏@SunderlandAFC Paul Bracewell has just confirmed that Javier Manquillo is currently undergoing a medical at the Academy of Light.

AR-10 said we had one virtually done and another one in advanced talks. Assuming Boufal is the 1st one, and it's one of the players mentioned in reports recently: - Sofiane Boufal - Nicolae Stanciu - Rachid Ghezzal - Simone Zaza - Sebastien Haller Stanciu is the most likely one based on reports in Romania. But I would assume it would be a striker. We shall see. Fingers crossed Les & Ross are keeping tabs on a centre-back too, just in-case the Fonte situation escalates.

#BoufalWatch is reaching it's conclusion...

DAVE SULLIVAN JNR @DaveSulley Dads just had heart surgery woke up from operation and is straight back on the phone to sign more players

Stanciu looks quality but I always figured it would be one or the other with Boufal (especially if we are sticking with the diamond). It will surely be a striker next if Jay is heading out on loan.

LES! ROSS! Get back on that train & head for destination centre-back!
