KEEPING IT REAL

GIFT FROM GOD
Everton's signing of Norwich's Ben Godfrey could be confirmed as early as this morning, according to reports.
The Toffees have swooped with a whopping £30m deal for the centre-back as they look to strengthen at the back.

Fringe players like Theo Walcott, Mohamed Besic and Yannick Bolasie have been linked with moves away.

NO DEAL
There'll be plenty of action in the boardrooms today, as clubs desperately push for the signature of transfer targets.
But, there are a few deals that are unlikely to get done before the 11pm deadline.
The Red Devils have been chasing Jadon Sancho's signature for some time, but are not prepared to stump up Borussia Dortmund's asking price.
Chelsea want to wrap up their summer of spending by securing Declan Rice's signature, and are prepared to throw money at the situation, but West Ham are insisting the defender is not for sale.

RA-Y OF HOPE
BREAKING: Leeds have agreed a deal for Rennes winger Raphinha, reports say.
The Yorkshire club have been chasing the wide man for several days and have struck a deal for an unknown fee, according to Sky Sports News.
The 23-year-old still has to undergo a medical but the deal does appear to be getting closer as the club race to get it over the line before 11pm.

WHAT'S THE DEAL
While some clubs are more in need of new recruits than others, here are a handful of deals that could go through today.
Xherdan Shaqiri could be set to leave Liverpool, after Jurgen Klopp hinted at his departure.
Manchester United are reportedly on the brink of bringing experienced Edinson Cavani to Old Trafford.
But they're also eyeing up Ousmane Dembele and are trying to secure his services on a long-term loan deal.
Tottenham have rejected two offers of loan deals from Paris Saint-Germain for Dele Alli, but if they come in again with a bigger offer, Daniel Levy may be unable to turn it down.
Antonio Rudiger has been left out of the last few matchday squads at Chelsea, but he has caught the eye of fellow London club Tottenham.

READY TO GUO
Matteo Guendouzi is having a medical ahead of a Hertha Berlin loan move, reports say.
The Arsenal outcast has not appeared for the club since June and has only recently returned to training with the first team.
Manager Mikel Arteta appears ready to ship him out and Herta Berlin are close to securing him on a season-long loan, according to Sky.

ALLI UNCERTAINTY
What does the future hold for Dele Alli on deadline day? It is one of the many uncertainties of what should be a frantic 14 hours.
Tottenham have reportedly rejected two loan bids from PSG for their midfielder, who has allegedly fallen out with boss Jose Mourinho.
He did come off the bench in Spurs' thrashing of United yesterday – but his time jumping in and out of the squad in recent weeks does not suggest much confidence from his manager.
It could be one of the big stories before the window slams shut at 11pm.

SAINT NO POINT
Southampton are hopeful of landing one or two players on loan today – but they will not sigh Ruben Loftus-Cheek, reports TOM BARCLAY.
Chelsea are prepared to farm out the England man but his wages are too rich for Saints' blood.
Plus with yesterday's arrival of Ibrahima Diallo for £12.7million, Ralph Hasenhuttl feels he is now well covered in the central midfield positions.
But speaking on possible incomings, the Austrian said after the 2-0 win over West Brom: “We are still hoping to get alternatives in one or two positions. We must have a look.
“I think it will be an interesting 24 hours. We know we have some issues in some positions and if we can get the right package, we are still looking to get another player in.”

ON HOLD TRAFFORD
Jadon Sancho is back in England and can complete a deadline day move to Manchester United – if the Red Devils can finally agree to a fee with Borussia Dortmund.
The Three Lions winger, 20, could be in trouble after being filmed at Tammy Abraham's surprise birthday party in clear breach of coronavirus rules.
The FA examined footage – in which Sancho can be seen singing with a mask around his chin – and said there will be no change to the England team at this stage with the squad to meet-up on Monday.
Despite the drama, Man Utd will be buoyed by the fact their top target is in the country.
His mere presence in the country makes any potential deadline day deal all the more simple.
The Old Trafford side have been chasing Sancho all summer.

DONE DEAL
Everton flop Moise Kean has joined Paris Saint-Germain on loan after scoring just two Premier League goals for the club.
The Italian forward, 20, has struggled for form at Goodison Park since move to England last summer.
But Kean will now spend the rest of the season with the Champions League runners-up, replacing Edinson Cavani and Eric-Maxim Choupo Moting, who both left on free transfers this summer.
Carlo Ancelotti was reluctant to let Kean leave for his former club, but said he wouldn't stand in his countryman's way.
Kean has found the net twice this season in the Carabao Cup – against Salford and Fleetwood.
But the forward has found himself out of the first team in the Premier League, with red-hot Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the line.

EXCLUSIVE: 3 LIONS ON ALERT
England stars Ben Chilwell, Tammy Abraham and Jadon Sancho have been filmed attending a packed birthday party ahead of today’s squad meet-up.
The footballers were in a gathering of about 20 friends and family, clearly flouting strict Covid-19 laws.
With all three due to play against Wales on Thursday, it is feared they have put the national team in jeopardy.
There seemed to be little social distancing at Saturday’s surprise bash for Abraham’s 23rd birthday.
The party at his London mansion came just 36 hours before the trio report for England duty.
One reveller said: “It was a great party. We wanted to do something nice for his birthday. But maybe we didn’t think it through.”

'I AM CONFIDENT'
Mikel Arteta is confident that Arsenal win be able to finalise some deals before the transfer deadline day on Monday.
Speaking after the 2-1 win over Sheffield United, Arteta revealed: “I am confident we know exactly what we want to do. We are trying our best to finalise the deals. Let's see what happens. I cannot comment [on players]. At the moment there is nothing definite.
“I cannot discuss the players we want. We recognise certain positions we are short in numbers and
quality.
“I'm really happy with the players that I have, that is my job. Whatever we can add, of course, we will try to do it but we have to be realistic.
“It's a give and take. Whoever jumps on the boat will be welcomed. We all share the same ambitions, we have a clear direction.”

'IT'S EMBARRASSING'
Gary Neville has slammed Manchester United’s recruitment again this summer.
The former Old Trafford full-back told Off the Ball: “I just don’t think they’re smart enough and wise enough and agile enough in the market.
“They’re being outwitted in the market by the other clubs and if you lose recruitment you don’t win the league, it’s as simple as that.
“You can have a great coach but if you don’t get the right players you’re not going to win the league.
“The Sancho thing is embarrassing.
“It’s been going on now for fourth months. It’s embarrassing, that.
“And then to put a bid in that gets rejected, the smart clubs, they have deals sorted behind the scenes, the agents are working hard, club officials are agreed on things and when the bids goes in it gets accepted, it’s done.”

WHEN IT'S ALL SEAD AND DONE
Since the arrival of Kieran Tierney, Kolasinac has noticeably been pushed down the pecking order for that left side of defence position.
Arteta has sometimes decided to even play winger Saka as a makeshift left back ahead of him.
This has raised serious questions about his future at the club and further speculations have circled as Sead Kolasinac has been left out of Arsenal's matchday squad altogether.
German outfit Bayer 04 Leverkusen are on the hunt for a new left back and could dip into their Kai Havertz kitty to bring the Bosnian to the club .
According to Kicker, the 27-year-old would like to return to Germany for 'private' reasons.
