Swansea City‏@SwansOfficial: BREAKING NEWS: We are delighted to confirm the signing of @LeroyFer10 from @QPRFC.

Praet more likely at around £10m. Not sure we'd spend £25m on somebody, but Boufal looks a hell of a player. Bit sulky, but we could get if we want a sulky AMC who scores & assists, we could get Ziyech for less ££'s

SCHMEICHEL WANTED BY EVERTON You can’t fault Everton’s ambition – the Liverpool Echo is reporting Ronald Koeman will “explore the possibility” of signing Kasper Schmeichel from Leicester City. Everton are looking for a long-term replacement for Tim Howard, but it looks a big ask to convince Schmeichel to leave the Premier League champions, with Champions League football at the King Power Stadium next season. Schmeichel reportedly has a £17m release clause in his £35,000-a-week Leicester contract.

If true that's hilarious as Liverpool only want £30m. It's a sellers market at the moment - it's crazy to think Benteke has flopped last year & yet Liverpool are still going to make their money back!

The usual sign of potential greatness is they are fast-tracked through the youth ranks. Bale / Ox / Theo made their debut's incredibly early on (Granted, lower down the leagues)

The ever reliable John Percy @ The Telegraph reports Musa was LCFC's No.1 target this summer. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/07/04/leicester-city-poised-to-complete-signing-of-ahmed-musa-for-club/ Doesn't mention any other interest. Looks a good player though - Leicester doing a good job, recruitment-wise. (As you'd expect)

"BBC Sport understands Musa turned down Southampton, Everton and West Ham." Still not convinced.

£20m for Everton £12m for everyone else

Think Musa just plays primarily as a striker.

I assumed that if he wanted to go there for f*ck loads of money, he could've gone there in January?

STOKE'S NANI INTEREST Assistant manager Mark Bowen has confirmed Stoke's interest in Portugal international Nani. "I know there is an interest there. Valencia are a big club but it is the draw of the Premier League," Bowen told talkSPORT. "He is player that Mark [Hughes] admires a lot and he has had a very good tournament. Without giving too much away, there is an interest there and let's see what happens. "In my opinion, he left the Premier League far too early. He had his time at Manchester United and had been a big player for them and he seemed to drift away rather than step into another club in the Premier League."

Indeed. I'm not sure our interest has come from anywhere reliable. Leicester have been working on this one for quite some time.

I think he did. I still think he'll go to Chelsea.

A Crooky Copy + Paste job. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-boss-claude-puel-plotting-8341716?

Well, Bas Dost would be a replacement for Pelle. A Berahino-type would just further strengthen our attacking options which is probably what we'll need to do after losing the likes of Mane/Gaston/Juanmi. Fingers crossed we keep Tadic. Don't like the notion of rebuilding the attack every couple of seasons.

I don't believe the link, but I'm weirdly warming to the Berahino idea. Very "Sadio-esque" and if he keeps his head straight, he's a difference make in this division - And we'd make him better.

Pretty much what we thought, I suppose. "between £10 million and £20 million" is such a random amount to want - I guess we'll take £10m then! Are we to assume we won't sign a replacement as we signed Austin? I don't see anyone in the squad who can really hold the ball up as well as Graziano.

So he's been here a year... I believe he signed a 3 year deal so he's now in that 2 year window. What do we think? Sign him up on a new one? Or is he destined to be the next Jack Cork, where we love him, but we lose him. I say sign him up on a new deal.

He's 5'5" Kante replacement, IMO.
