We start with Marc Guehi’s collapsed move to Liverpool, after Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner threatened to walk if the deal went through. Despite passing a medical and preparing for his flight to Merseyside, the England defender was left stranded in South London - a huge blow after he acted with total professionalism throughout the summer.
Meanwhile, Manchester City completed the signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma, officially unveiled on Tuesday after Ederson’s switch to Fenerbahce was confirmed. Fulham added “Baby Isak” Jonah Kusi-Asare on loan, while Brighton’s Matt O’Riley and Ilkay Gündogan also sealed late moves.
Elsewhere, Ruben Loftus-Cheek is back in the England squad for the first time since 2018, and Grimsby Town have been fined for fielding an ineligible player in their famous Carabao Cup.
And finally, we look at the chaos inside Old Trafford, as reports claim United considered re-signing veteran striker Danny Welbeck as their summer plans unravelled.
