:00:42. > :00:51.With deadline day to day... The final day of the transfer window...
:00:52. > :00:58.Virgil van Dijk will not be leaving Southampton. Riyad Mahrez has been
:00:59. > :01:01.allowed to sort out... Arsenal have rejected City's bed for Sanchez.
:01:02. > :01:17.Viola Spurs have completed the signing of
:01:18. > :01:30.Fernando Llorente... Jonny Evans wanted by Manchester City. Good
:01:31. > :01:37.evening, all. Welcome to Football Focus on Transfer Deadline Day. The
:01:38. > :01:43.former England winger and Stoke midfielder Charlie Adam. We would
:01:44. > :01:47.love to hear from you as one will get through as many of your comments
:01:48. > :01:50.as we possibly can. As you can see, I read about ten minutes left until
:01:51. > :01:57.the window closes and let's remind you of what has been happening so
:01:58. > :02:06.far... -- around about ten minutes. Manchester City's late bid for
:02:07. > :02:12.Alexis Sanchez falls short, but the Ox completes his ?35 million move
:02:13. > :02:16.from Arsenal to Liverpool. Spurs are set to sign Fernando Llorente from
:02:17. > :02:22.Swansea, and Paris St Germain have snapped up the French teen sensation
:02:23. > :02:26.Kylian Mbappe. It also looks like Mamadou Sakho is returning to
:02:27. > :02:31.Selhurst Park, this time permanently, for ?26 million. Palace
:02:32. > :02:43.fans happy about that one. Here is more that has gone through today...
:02:44. > :02:51.Wilfried Bony is also rejoining Swansea for ?12 million. Spurs have
:02:52. > :02:55.signed the right back Serge Aurier for ?23 million from PSG. Some of
:02:56. > :02:59.these are still awaiting confirmation. In Nahki Wells has
:03:00. > :03:06.signed for Birmingham from Huddersfield. We like figure at this
:03:07. > :03:09.time of the season. Record-breaking transfer window with well over ?1
:03:10. > :03:15.billion spent Premier League clubs alone. If you were asked for a deal
:03:16. > :03:22.today that shines out, what would you go for, Trevor? Renato Sanches
:03:23. > :03:24.for Swansea. I just think he is great player, difficult year at
:03:25. > :03:31.Bayern Munich but when see him winning the Euros in 2016, I think
:03:32. > :03:34.it shows why Paul Clement has been brought to that club, to be able to
:03:35. > :03:41.recruit players like that, very good prospect. He will play well. He can
:03:42. > :03:44.possibly use Swansea for a stepping stone into the Premier League to one
:03:45. > :03:47.of the bigger clubs but for me here is a great talent and will be a big
:03:48. > :03:54.part of Swansea's season. He has gone there on loan. What about you?
:03:55. > :03:57.Alexis Sanchez for Arsenal, if they can keep him. Because he is a
:03:58. > :04:01.world-class player and at the moment they are lacking that quality.
:04:02. > :04:07.Losing Oxlade-Chamberlain will be a big blow for them, but if they can
:04:08. > :04:10.keep Sanchez, a big player, try to get back into the Champions League
:04:11. > :04:13.next season. We will talk about that because we're not sure he wants to
:04:14. > :04:17.be there at the moment and is only there because other deals fell
:04:18. > :04:21.through. Talking about deals falling through, Mr deadline Dennis is
:04:22. > :04:26.always with us on deadline day. Lovely show this evening, thanks for
:04:27. > :04:31.that, Ian. What should we be looking out for in the next ten minutes?
:04:32. > :04:35.Leicester City have confirmed that Alexander Gradovich has arrived from
:04:36. > :04:48.Bayern Leverkusen on loan until the end of the season.
:04:49. > :04:54.-- Dragovic. You get trigger points and the focal point throughout the
:04:55. > :04:59.day, Wilfried Bony glad to be back at Swansea City. The earlier had a
:05:00. > :05:03.bit of ?12 million for the Norwich striker turned down, well, the bid
:05:04. > :05:06.that same amount for Bony from Manchester City and he has joined as
:05:07. > :05:13.a result. So Llorente as a result will be going to Tottenham. ?12
:05:14. > :05:18.million to Chelsea, talk of a 12 year deal with the option of a
:05:19. > :05:21.further deal for Llorente, I was going to say for White Hart Lane,
:05:22. > :05:26.but it is Wembley. The other trigger point, it might be, I was told today
:05:27. > :05:32.Danny Drinkwater has a strong chance of going to Chelsea and that depends
:05:33. > :05:35.on the Sporting Lisbon midfielder at Leicester City, Silva. We are told
:05:36. > :05:38.there might be a hitch with that one. So it might depend on whether
:05:39. > :05:43.they get him and that enables Danny Drinkwater to go to Stamford Bridge.
:05:44. > :05:51.As you mention, Mamadou Sakho. Crystal Palace earlier submitted an
:05:52. > :05:57.offer for Mangola at Manchester City -- Mangala. But instead they have
:05:58. > :06:01.gone for Sakho. The ?26 million bid was accepted by Liverpool. We are
:06:02. > :06:06.expecting him to rejoin Crystal Palace on a permanent basis. We will
:06:07. > :06:09.get more updates from you later in the programme, but talking about
:06:10. > :06:12.Alexis Sanchez, one of the big stories of the day surrounds
:06:13. > :06:16.Manchester City and their late attempt to sign him. David Ornstein
:06:17. > :06:22.is it that it had for us. Good evening. Was it a case of just too
:06:23. > :06:26.late for Manchester City? -- David Ornstein is at the letter had for
:06:27. > :06:32.us. Yes, but that is not to put the blame solely at Manchester City's
:06:33. > :06:36.door. It is a disappointment because he has been a key target for them
:06:37. > :06:40.all summer. He has wanted to move all summer. Arsenal were aware of
:06:41. > :06:46.that interest but it did not really formalised itself until the last
:06:47. > :06:54.24-48 hours when ?150 million bid was rejected and then City came back
:06:55. > :06:58.today with a second bid, -- when a ?50 million bid was rejected. This
:06:59. > :07:02.next one would have amounted to ?60 million. There was a conditional
:07:03. > :07:06.agreement reached between the two clubs and that condition was that
:07:07. > :07:10.Arsenal sign what they would describe as a world-class
:07:11. > :07:17.replacement, and they decided to go for Thomas Lemar of Monaco, the
:07:18. > :07:21.French international winger who scored two goals for France in their
:07:22. > :07:25.World Cup qualifier against the Netherlands tonight. Arsenal had
:07:26. > :07:29.appeared in the region of ?92 million accepted by Monaco but it is
:07:30. > :07:34.our understanding that Lemar decided against making that move, so when he
:07:35. > :07:39.decided not to go to Arsenal, the Alexis Sanchez deal collapsed. That
:07:40. > :07:43.is what has led to the disappointment here and for Alexis
:07:44. > :07:46.Sanchez. He told people, my understanding, people close to him,
:07:47. > :07:52.they were informed that that deal was done and that he would become a
:07:53. > :07:56.Manchester City player, but it is off. He will have to go back to
:07:57. > :08:01.Arsenal, he can speak to overseas clubs in January and can leave on a
:08:02. > :08:06.free next summer. One more question, David. Rumours have been circulating
:08:07. > :08:08.for the last few hours about Ross Barkley, and something that went
:08:09. > :08:14.wrong with the medical. What do you know? Yes, Ross Barkley has been a
:08:15. > :08:18.long-term target of Chelsea, despite the fact he is nursing a serious
:08:19. > :08:24.hamstring injury that will probably keep him out until January. Chelsea
:08:25. > :08:29.had a bid of ?25 million rejected, some way short of Everton's demand
:08:30. > :08:35.for around ?50 million. They were expected to meet in the middle and
:08:36. > :08:39.it was seeming like that deal was going to be done. He went down to
:08:40. > :08:43.Chelsea and underwent a medical but then he decided, reportedly made
:08:44. > :08:51.medical, that he no longer wanted to join Chelsea but wanted to return to
:08:52. > :08:53.Everton -- he decided reportedly made medical. There are some
:08:54. > :08:57.suggestions that Chelsea will come back and for him in January but for
:08:58. > :09:02.now Ross Barkley will remain an Everton player. There was also
:09:03. > :09:07.interest from Tottenham, but clearly that has not materialised. He is
:09:08. > :09:10.into the final year of his contract and the Everton manager Ronald
:09:11. > :09:13.Koeman said recently if he doesn't move before the deadline he will be
:09:14. > :09:16.integrated back into the squad and be a very important player for
:09:17. > :09:21.Everton. David, great to speak to you. Thanks for the update from the
:09:22. > :09:25.Etihad Stadium. We will talk about Chelsea later in the programme.
:09:26. > :09:28.Charlie, you have said Alexis Sanchez is your best man who did not
:09:29. > :09:34.go anywhere because he will be useful for Arsenal. Would you sit on
:09:35. > :09:38.that? Player also top to go to Manchester City, wanted to reunite
:09:39. > :09:41.with Pep Guardiola who was at Barcelona, and he now goes back to a
:09:42. > :09:46.side who at the moment are not particularly happy? -- a player who
:09:47. > :09:50.wanted to go to Manchester City. Yes, you feel for him. He has kept
:09:51. > :09:53.his performance as high, playing very well to dictate that kind of
:09:54. > :09:57.fee in the last year of his contract, but the club have not
:09:58. > :10:00.matched his ambition, so you do feel for the player. Manchester City have
:10:01. > :10:03.left it a little too late, the deal has fallen through because of that.
:10:04. > :10:13.But I do feel sorry for the player because for me I have been in that
:10:14. > :10:16.scenario before. You have been you don't feel the club is matching your
:10:17. > :10:19.ambition and you want to leave but can't get out. He is under contract.
:10:20. > :10:22.I don't think you will be like Costa and go missing and I think Arsene
:10:23. > :10:25.Wenger is relying on his professionalism. Can't wait for this
:10:26. > :10:29.transfer window to end, Arsenal have been a complete joke as usual, two
:10:30. > :10:33.good signings, not enough. How do you reintegrate a player back... And
:10:34. > :10:36.you said it will be good for Arsenal, but how do you get someone
:10:37. > :10:40.like that back into the squad? Considering how badly they played at
:10:41. > :10:44.the weekend as well? I think it will be easy for them because he is their
:10:45. > :10:49.best player. People will be thinking, can he come in and give us
:10:50. > :10:52.lift again? He has had a few injury problems in the summer as well. Not
:10:53. > :10:56.played many games yet, but when the window closes, he is an Arsenal
:10:57. > :11:00.player and he needs to perform. He needs to get back to the level he
:11:01. > :11:05.was last season, and he is Arsenal's best player. He will be showing the
:11:06. > :11:09.talent he has got and he will be looking to move in January or
:11:10. > :11:12.perhaps wait until next summer. It will be interesting to see how the
:11:13. > :11:17.fans react because he has obviously been vocal that he wants to leave
:11:18. > :11:22.and has even told his team-mates in Chile that he is leaving, but he is
:11:23. > :11:25.a tough boy and we know that. I am sure he will perform and, like I
:11:26. > :11:31.say, a World Cup year and he will want to do well for Arsenal. Salt in
:11:32. > :11:34.the wind for Arsenal fans, that week today from Thames Valley Police,
:11:35. > :11:38.keeping up with deadline day on your phone, please don't check your phone
:11:39. > :11:43.for updates whilst driving or you'll end up with more points than
:11:44. > :11:48.Arsenal. A very joke... Harsh for Arsenal fans at the moment, but it
:11:49. > :11:51.is a difficult time for them. Yes, listen, Arsenal have been a great
:11:52. > :11:54.club over the years and they still are. Everyone is there to shoot them
:11:55. > :11:56.down. They are going through a difficult period and probably the
:11:57. > :12:01.Arsene Wenger thing in the summer did not help them. Is he going to
:12:02. > :12:05.sign, is he not going to sing? I think that transpired into the
:12:06. > :12:08.season. From a Manchester City point of view, Jonny Evans is not happy.
:12:09. > :12:15.One of your old clubs at centre-back short? Probably. None better than
:12:16. > :12:18.Vincent Kompany at doing that job and that is probably what Jonny
:12:19. > :12:25.Evans was being brought in for, if he gets injured. I think it will be
:12:26. > :12:27.at this. He wanted Jonny Evans and Alexis Sanchez and ended up with
:12:28. > :12:31.neither, so they will probably end up with Mangala going back into the
:12:32. > :12:34.fold if he doesn't get a move. So he will be disappointed because Jonny
:12:35. > :12:38.Evans would have been a good player for Manchester City. There is a
:12:39. > :12:43.young player and Manchester City, did pretty well pre-season,
:12:44. > :12:47.obviously not ideal not getting Alexis Sanchez, but I believe that
:12:48. > :12:54.by has a lot. Alexis Sanchez was not the only man in demand today.
:12:55. > :13:05.COMMENTATOR: Llorente! Fernando Llorente with the goal! Llorente!
:13:06. > :13:12.And it has finished off like they wanted, Swansea have turned it
:13:13. > :13:18.around! Llorente, he has done it again! We will talk about that in a
:13:19. > :13:25.minute. But we need to do this because we have played with some
:13:26. > :13:27.pretty expensive light bulbs. Wait for it, everybody. It is closed!
:13:28. > :13:32.LAUGHTER The window is closed. We can all
:13:33. > :13:36.relax. A big moment for us all. It has not entirely gone through,
:13:37. > :13:42.Llorente, to Spurs. He has been pictured in a Spurs shirt. Plenty of
:13:43. > :13:45.goals for Swansea. How will he fit into that side? Harry Kane is
:13:46. > :13:49.obviously the front man in that team. I think anyone coming to
:13:50. > :13:53.Tottenham, unless you are a top top layer, difficult to get in the first
:13:54. > :13:59.team because they know they're starting XI -- top top player. It
:14:00. > :14:03.was a back-up. Chelsea wanted him, never went there, went to Tottenham,
:14:04. > :14:06.and I think he will be an excellent signing as a back-up if anything
:14:07. > :14:11.happens to Harry Kane. Will he enable them to have a plan B a bit?
:14:12. > :14:17.I was going to say that. I think he is a great plan B, brilliant in the
:14:18. > :14:20.air. His hold-up play is superb, he scores goals. I think if you want to
:14:21. > :14:24.go a bit more direct at times you can go to him whereas Harry Kane is
:14:25. > :14:28.probably... He doesn't have that skill set in his bag. But he knows
:14:29. > :14:32.where the goal is. The bigger story on this, the fact that Antonio Conte
:14:33. > :14:36.missed out on him. I believed Chelsea were in for him, they have
:14:37. > :14:40.history together, and for him to turn down Chelsea and go to
:14:41. > :14:45.Tottenham, which it looks like will happen, I think it is a big blow for
:14:46. > :14:50.Chelsea. Not only that, Lukaku was rumoured, Ross Barkley,
:14:51. > :14:55.Oxlade-Chamberlain... Disappointing window for Chelsea. From a Spurs
:14:56. > :15:09.recruitment perspective, from Paris St Germain, Aurier arriving,
:15:10. > :15:14.Sanchez, some others as well. Yes, they have a great starting XI, at
:15:15. > :15:17.Tottenham. I think bringing Aurier in, that is a good signing. They
:15:18. > :15:23.have good back-up now, coming off the bench. They will be a force this
:15:24. > :15:30.year. The only thing I would say, why so late? And very indifferent
:15:31. > :15:33.start in August. You almost feel busy after dealing with Daniel
:15:34. > :15:39.sometimes. Especially with Harry Kane's record. We know he is a great
:15:40. > :15:42.goal-scorer but you think you would get all your eggs in order... Docs
:15:43. > :15:45.in order! LAUGHTER
:15:46. > :15:48.Before the start of the season, so you can start well. They have
:15:49. > :15:56.already lost points on rivals. It doesn't make sense. Llorente might
:15:57. > :16:01.be on his way to Spurs from Swansea. And at the Euros, everybody was
:16:02. > :16:04.raving about this guy, Renato Sanches, but it didn't quite work
:16:05. > :16:09.out at Bayern Munich. Do you think it is a shrewd move?
:16:10. > :16:15.A lot of big characters in the dressing room at Bayern Munich, he
:16:16. > :16:18.might not have hit the ground running and your confidence is
:16:19. > :16:23.dented and this boy has not felt a confidence dip in his career and it
:16:24. > :16:27.was on him, in a foreign country in the Bundesliga and he has not dealt
:16:28. > :16:31.well with that. Going to Swansea, a big fish in a small pond, he can
:16:32. > :16:36.really thrive. Paul Clement having history with him, he already has a
:16:37. > :16:41.relationship with the manager. What about a play at you have played with
:16:42. > :16:45.at Stoke, Wilfried Bony Chris? ?12 million after leaving to go to
:16:46. > :16:51.Manchester City for ?12 million, is that a good move? The figures look
:16:52. > :16:56.good but Swansea need to be able to get the ball to his feet and get
:16:57. > :17:01.runners behind him. He has not got the pacey had. Is that me setting up
:17:02. > :17:11.the goal! Did you organise that? Was that a joke? No, it is great. He did
:17:12. > :17:16.really well bad. The fans love him. Maybe that could restart his career.
:17:17. > :17:19.But we probably never play to his strengths. He has got to be the main
:17:20. > :17:23.man and everybody has to go through him and get the runners behind him
:17:24. > :17:28.and you might see the best of Wilfried Bony. Interesting to see
:17:29. > :17:34.how he settles in at Swansea. I blame Dennis, where is he? I thought
:17:35. > :17:40.you had gone for a moment! -- Deadline Dennis. Any more
:17:41. > :17:45.information you can bring? The window is closed, things can still
:17:46. > :17:48.happen. There is a deal sheet which enables the clubs to prove a deal
:17:49. > :17:54.has been completed or agreed and it gives them additional time to submit
:17:55. > :17:58.the relevant paperwork. Brighton and Hove Albion have signed Newcastle
:17:59. > :18:03.United goalkeeper Tim Krul on a season-long loan. Linking back up
:18:04. > :18:08.with Chris Houston. I mentioned about ageing Silva and whether this
:18:09. > :18:11.has implications for the potential move from Leicester to Chelsea of
:18:12. > :18:18.Danny Drinkwater which is going to the wire. Silva from sporting Lisbon
:18:19. > :18:21.to Leicester City looks unlikely, spotting will not sanction the deal
:18:22. > :18:24.because Leicester's of 4 million pounds was too low for the
:18:25. > :18:31.Portuguese club. Thank you for the moment. Thank you for your tweet
:18:32. > :18:35.this evening. What a bad window for Chelsea, we needed more player we
:18:36. > :18:41.brought in not good enough if we are to compete in Europe and the league.
:18:42. > :18:46.Both lodging a group agreement with that message. The Champions League
:18:47. > :18:51.is the one. De she were both nodding in agreement. They have lost Matt
:18:52. > :18:56.itch, good performance a season where they try to get Danny
:18:57. > :19:00.Drinkwater, they are a weaker squad. They have Hazard to come back which
:19:01. > :19:06.could help. But this cost a thing keeps rumbling on. What happens if
:19:07. > :19:13.it does not happen, he cannot sit in Brazil for the next three months.
:19:14. > :19:16.Does that affect the dressing room? I think the Chelsea situation is
:19:17. > :19:21.different between the Sanches deal and the Virgil van Dijk deal because
:19:22. > :19:26.Antonio Conte said he was not part of the plans. The players will say,
:19:27. > :19:33.we love you here, we want you here back. It is the manager's decision.
:19:34. > :19:40.When Sanches walks in, it will be forgotten about. The manager wants
:19:41. > :19:44.them, Sanches and Virgil van Dijk to stay, but the manager does not want
:19:45. > :19:49.Costa. If they can get rid of Costa, or if they do not, interesting to
:19:50. > :19:56.see how the next four mums go at Chelsea. The Spanish window extends
:19:57. > :20:00.a bit. Yes, until tomorrow. Will Atletico Madrid by him and let him
:20:01. > :20:05.train? Yes coming he has down to all -- he has downed tools. Alex Oxlade
:20:06. > :20:13.Chamberlain has swapped of London for the Northwest in one of the most
:20:14. > :20:17.expensive deals. Oxlade-Chamberlain is heralding the
:20:18. > :20:19.Liverpool. Arsenal never played him in his strongest position.
:20:20. > :20:24.Oxlade-Chamberlain has so much going for him. He wants to play central
:20:25. > :20:34.midfield. He cost Arsenal major goals in the Champions League in
:20:35. > :20:37.that position. His hero was Stephen Gerrard growing up and he wanted to
:20:38. > :20:42.play in the middle of the park, that is your position, has he got what it
:20:43. > :20:47.takes to beat in that position and dominate a game? I think he has. He
:20:48. > :20:54.has got the power, he has got good pace. He can see a pass. But is he
:20:55. > :21:01.going to get the movable's midfield, that is the question. They have Adam
:21:02. > :21:05.Lallana, MHR and, is he going to play in there? Not so sure? It will
:21:06. > :21:11.be interesting to see what Jurgen Klopp does, but it is a good move.
:21:12. > :21:18.It is a great move for him. He wants to play sensually and he has been
:21:19. > :21:22.given assurances. On the world stage, he is world-class he is a
:21:23. > :21:26.matchwinner. I watch him last week, the power from the right wing, the
:21:27. > :21:34.right wingback position, the pacey had was incredible. He just needs
:21:35. > :21:38.more game time and is preferable position is midfield. When you get
:21:39. > :21:42.him on the pitch and he is fit coming he is as good as anyone. You
:21:43. > :21:48.look at the statistics and they do not like, you cannot get him to
:21:49. > :21:52.sustain the Games. But his ability is unquestionable, he is very good.
:21:53. > :21:55.In terms of him saying yes to Liverpool and no to Chelsea, does
:21:56. > :21:59.that tell you more about Chelsea or about him?
:22:00. > :22:05.The bigger story is a rumoured contract on the table with Arsenal
:22:06. > :22:09.and going to Liverpool for ?120,000 a week. That says he is believing in
:22:10. > :22:14.the manager, he believes in Jurgen Klopp. For me, I don't know what he
:22:15. > :22:22.was on at Arsenal, but he has had an uplift. If he had ?80,000 a week, it
:22:23. > :22:25.is 120,000 a week. ?40,000 a week is a big uplift, he is still increasing
:22:26. > :22:30.his salary. But he thinks Jurgen Klopp were making a better player
:22:31. > :22:34.tactically and he feels at the moment he is going to become a
:22:35. > :22:37.better player with Klopp. So the manager has made the difference.
:22:38. > :22:42.More from you both in a moment. But the EFL now. What Clement is that
:22:43. > :22:49.the touch screen and it has not been a crazy window.
:22:50. > :22:52.I am not going to lie, it is slim pickings and not a lot of money has
:22:53. > :22:59.changed hands and we thought the record might be smashed when --
:23:00. > :23:04.smashed again. Dwight Gayle was bought by Fulham yesterday. There
:23:05. > :23:12.could still be a Dale, but the biggest deal of the day is from
:23:13. > :23:18.Brentford to Birmingham that could be worth up to ?8 million. The third
:23:19. > :23:21.Brentford player to move to Birmingham in a 24 hour period, I
:23:22. > :23:27.don't think Harry Redknapp will be on the Christmas list of Dean Smith.
:23:28. > :23:33.Sheffield Wednesday have brought in Jacob Butterfield on loan from
:23:34. > :23:36.Derby, a midfielder for a season-long loan and some all has
:23:37. > :23:42.gone in the opposite direction, the striker. This is unusual, Jordan
:23:43. > :23:45.Williams joining Rochdale, a Liverpool trainee, and the second
:23:46. > :23:50.Jordan Williams that has joined Rochdale this transfer window. That
:23:51. > :23:54.can think tickles my fancy! We like that. Some of the money that has
:23:55. > :24:00.been spent in the Premier League, how much has filtered down? A heck
:24:01. > :24:09.of a lot of is the honest answer. Inflation wise, you have only got to
:24:10. > :24:15.think about the inflation on Aluko, 7.5 million on a way he was on a
:24:16. > :24:19.free transfer. Sunderland have sold Jordan Pickford, Hull City Harry
:24:20. > :24:26.Maguire. Wolves have broken the transfer record and Bruno Nevers.
:24:27. > :24:35.Middlesbrough have spent a lot of centre forwards. ?190 million spent
:24:36. > :24:39.in total I EFL clubs, 215 has been recouped, so a surplus. So they
:24:40. > :24:43.could get Kylian Mbappe with a bit of change if they put their money
:24:44. > :24:49.together! It is another world. Yes, crazy money. There is news from
:24:50. > :24:58.Stamford Bridge. This has not been confirmed by Chelsea, but it has
:24:59. > :25:04.been by Torino and Davide Zappacosta has joined Chelsea, ?25 million. So
:25:05. > :25:09.confirmed by the Italian club Davide Zappacosta has joined Chelsea. Thank
:25:10. > :25:13.you very much. We joke about Kylian Mbappe but PSG have spent ?200
:25:14. > :25:19.million on Neymar and they got around the financial fair play by
:25:20. > :25:24.bringing Mbappe on a loan with this -- with ?165 million. Football is
:25:25. > :25:30.crazy but it is not fair and everybody else? Do not mess with the
:25:31. > :25:35.Qatari investors. They want to buy the best talent. They will win the
:25:36. > :25:38.league. The French league. I think the reason for that is they want to
:25:39. > :25:42.win the Champions League and the Champions League for the owners is a
:25:43. > :25:47.big thing. And they put their money where their mouth is. He has had one
:25:48. > :25:53.good season, Mbappe, he is 18 years old. It is a huge price tag. I am
:25:54. > :25:56.sure he can take it but there is risk. From what I have seen in the
:25:57. > :26:03.Champions League, he is a stunning player. I saw him in pre-season for
:26:04. > :26:07.45 minutes and he was untouchable. He was like Thierry Henry in his
:26:08. > :26:13.prime, pace and power and his awareness was incredible. We can see
:26:14. > :26:17.why. The figure is amazing because he is 18, but seeing him in the
:26:18. > :26:23.flesh, he was top draw. What about Stoke? Six new players in this
:26:24. > :26:29.window, is that a stronger position? Yes, but we lost a key player.
:26:30. > :26:34.Walters, Barnsley went. We have had to recruit differently. Ryan in a
:26:35. > :26:39.big contract today was a big contract. A couple of clubs. A big
:26:40. > :26:44.player in the dressing room? Yes, captain, one year left on his
:26:45. > :26:49.contract and signing him was a good one. And Kurt Zuma has been
:26:50. > :27:02.excellent and is a top player for Chelsea. One thing we have not
:27:03. > :27:05.mentioned is Philippe Coutinho. Can he keep Philippe Coutinho happy? He
:27:06. > :27:10.is different commie has appreciated the Reds fans. Most Reds fans
:27:11. > :27:13.understand it is the Nou Camp and he might never get the opportunity
:27:14. > :27:17.again and he can integrate back into the squad and play and he will not
:27:18. > :27:22.get much grief. A reminder of what has gone through today. We have got
:27:23. > :27:27.Alex Oxlade Chamberlain on 35mm pounds. Serge Aurier with Spurs.
:27:28. > :27:38.Sporting Lisbon players arriving. Big loan signing Renato Sanches with
:27:39. > :27:46.Swansea. And they looked at the papers tomorrow. Everybody going
:27:47. > :27:54.with Sanchez. The same story in The Times, City furious as the Sanchez
:27:55. > :27:56.it collapses. This is accepting a ?60 million bid and rejecting it
:27:57. > :28:02.when they could not get hold of Thomas Lemar, reportedly bidding ?92
:28:03. > :28:09.million for the man who scored twice tonight with friends. More football
:28:10. > :28:15.tomorrow night. England's World Cup qualifier against Malta.
:28:16. > :28:21.Lucas Perez will be back on Saturday on BBC One and we will leave you
:28:22. > :28:22.with some of the things you might have missed -- Football Focus.
:28:23. > :28:35.Goodbye. Alex Oxlade Chamberlain! All his own
:28:36. > :28:42.work. Oh, it is a stunner from Ross
:28:43. > :28:50.Barkley! Mamadou Sakho in that Palace
:28:51. > :29:01.backline! Jonny Evans and West Bromwich lead. Wilfried Bony!
:29:02. > :29:03.Brilliant goal, Alexis Sanchez for Arsenal.
:29:04. > :29:06.On the front line of Britain's fight to control immigration,
:29:07. > :29:10.a secret world of drugs, violence and abuse...
:29:11. > :29:15...where some foreign nationals are locked up
