I wonder if it's £8m, rising to £11m. Vegard Forren

CHELSEA'S £32M GOMES BID REJECTED Chelsea have had a bid of £32m rejected by Valencia for Portugal international Andre Gomes, according to Sky sources. It is understood Valencia are keen to drive up the fee for Gomes due to a sell-on clause in place between themselves and his former club, Benfica, a stance which has left Valencia and Chelsea approximately £10m apart in their valuation of the player. SSN HQ has been told Benfica are due to receive 25% of any transfer fee Valencia receive for the player who only arrived at the Mestalla stadium 12 months ago. Valencia are believed to want to generate £32 million from his sale for themselves, and are therefore holding out for approximately £42m.

Would rather have Delia Smith

How long has Ernesto Valverde been in the odds running? He's currently 16/1 on SkyBet. Not seen him mentioned before (Aside from 1 mention on here)

There's been A LOT of names banded about though!

Wasn't there there weird situation where he was thinking about going to Charlton... Thought about it... played squash with Eddie Mitchell, announced he was staying... then Burnley came in and he went there straight away!

PELLE ATTRACTING ATTENTION Following his goalscoring exploits in Italy's Euro 2016 opening-round victory against Belgium, speculation surrounding Southampton striker Graziano Pelle has grown. Juventus are long-term suitors for the Saints forward but, following Italy's victory in Lyon, AC Milan are now also thought to be chasing Pelle. But could the 30-year-old remain in the Premier League? Well, Sky Sport Italy claim West Ham and Everton, now managed by former Saints boss Ronald Koeman, have been alerted to the Italian.

Isn't that just a copy from the Mirror tweet last night?

Is Bergkamp still at Ajax?

Dortmund's scouting is on point this window!

Yeah, we've certainly been linked with him for quite some time. He gives us that "out and out winger" option too. Plus we've got extra games in the Europa to contend with. Will be good to get him on the bus. (Do we still have a bus?)

I'd be exceptionally excited if we had the deal done BEFORE the euros.

So not such an impeccable source then? Shame, I'm in the minority, but I'd be happy to have him back.

Exactly. I don't recall Pep Guardiola talking about Sturrock's Plymouth in his book

The Times eluded to it a few days ago - but it's behind a pay wall. Mirror are the only one's reporting the medical as far as I'm aware.

If the criteria of manager that we are looking for to press high & fast, I think most prospective managers would like Shane Long.

Wouldn’t be a summer window without being linked with Tello. I’m expecting a Rafa Silva link any day now…

@mirrordarren: Redmond set to have Southampton medical when he returns from holiday abroad. @MirrorFootball

I like Redmond. We've obviously been watching him for a while. £11m is a lot of money, and as I've said before, I'm surprised he's at the very top of our list. Lots of potential though, and we don't really have anyone like him - An out & out winger. Surprised we are pushing ahead with this deal without a boss though. I assume he would have to approve it.

Aymeric Laporte has signed a new contract with Bilbao. **All the big clubs now look at John Stones**

Re: Their "international winger" signing is likely: Sofiane Feghouli

You'd have thought PSG could've done that for him

ARNAUTOVIC LATEST Stoke have slapped a £12.5million transfer fee on contract rebel Marko Arnautovic, according to the Daily Mirror.
