Your hopes for transfer deadline day

    Chelsea

    Will Chelsea miss Enzo Fernandez? Well, he's not started any of their two Premier League games this season - both ending in Chelsea wins.

    But Malo Gusto was forced to start in the middle next to Romeo Lavia in Sunday's win over Brighton, with Moises Caicedo picking up another injury.

    He might turn out to be amazing but as a City fan, I don't want Enzo Fernandez. Just seems completely the wrong personality type and honestly, I wouldn't start him ahead of Cherki. What does it mean for Foden? Just not on board with this at all.

    Steve

    Enzo Fernandez is good, but will he improve City? Only time will tell, but not sure he will be a starter every week in Maresca's 'find a solution' technique to win every game.

  3. Fernandez's transfer feespublished at 16:58 BST

    Enzo Fernandez is a man who costs a pretty penny.

    His transfer to Chelsea from Benfica in 2023 was worth £105m and his latest move to Man City is £20m more than that.

    So he's cost £230m in his past two moves.

    That's a decent bit of money.

    So, that is a joint-British record transfer fee.

    It's the same Liverpool paid Newcastle for Alexander Isak on this very day last year.

    Manchester City have reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign midfielder Enzo Fernandez, for a fee of £125m.

    Is Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara the one to replace Enzo Fernandez - if he is to leave, of course.

    Liverpool had been linked with the 22-year-old but it seems like it could be another midfielder heading to West London rather than Merseyside.

    The biggest and most important signing Chelsea made this summer was not of any player...but of Xabi Alonso. Truly hurts as a Liverpool fan.

    Enzo was very good in parts last season in a very unsettled team. He’s an excellent £85m player, but if we can get £120m + then we should take it for a player who clearly wants out. Not convinced we need to replace him, but Camara’s a good option.

    Chelsea goalkeeper Rob Sanchez has been filmed arriving in Milan ahead of a medical before his proposed move to Italian club Como 1907.

    The 28-year-old was deemed surplus to requirements following an error-strewn display in Chelsea's opening Premier League match of the season at Fulham.

    Chelsea signed Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez as his replacement within days in a deal worth £7.5m.

    The move to Como, managed by former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, is an initial loan deal with an option to make the transfer permanent.

    The Italian club are also due to compete in the Champions League this season.

    Hang fire, we do have news of a departure from Chelsea.

    But it's not Enzo...

  11. Postpublished at 16:29 BST

    Do we reckon Enzo Fernandez is even in Manchester right now?

    If so, what's he up to? Maybe he's having a walk around the Arndale before popping up to the food court for a bite to eat.

    So, just on Enzo Fernandez.

    He scored 10 goals and registered four assists in a poor Chelsea side last season.

    But is he the one City fans really want? I've got a couple of colleagues who aren't too keen.

    The midfield rebuild is well and truly under way at the Etihad after waving Rodri goodbye.

    Ayyoub Bouaddi, Elliot Anderson and (potentially) Enzo Fernandez are a top, top three. Right?

    Manchester City

    It's already been a busy summer for Manchester City and more deals could yet be announced before the 23:00 BST deadline...

    IN:

    City's outgoings are pretty much too long to list them all with plenty of academy products heading out on loan. But of course the big moves have included Rodri, John Stones, Bernardo Silva, Tijjani Reijnders, Nico Gonzalez, Omar Marmoush, Savinho and James Trafford.

  15. Postpublished at 16:13 BST

    Right then, let's talk Man City.

    They could be in for a busy end to the window if all goes well in east Manchester.

    How have Arsenal done nothing? Linked with Vini Jnr, Alvarez and Barcola all to strengthen the left wing. Obviously a known weakness. Sell Trossard and Martinelli and only buy Tzolis. Massively disappointing to end up with one natural left wing option.

    Joel

    Looks like Arsenal won't sign Alvarez, but we need to make sure we strengthen our attack after losing the likes of Jesus, Trossard and Martinelli. Someone like Yildiz would fit in very well in North London.

    Arteta really should have been looking at Ndiaye/Barcola instead of sending 4am "you up?" texts to Alvarez for a month.

    Harry

    Julian Alvarez is obviously staying at Atletico, and it's been clear for a while that that was the case, which makes Arsenal's lack of business on the left a bit boggling. Especially with the outgoings this summer. Tzolis can't do it all!

    Despite the signings of Christos Tzolis, Bruno Guimaraes and Ezri Konsa, it's been a bit of a frustrating summer for Arsenal with failed pursuits of Vinicius Jr and Julian Alvarez.

    Mikel Arteta has been on the hunt for a real world-class attacking talent but it hasn't happened for them this summer.

    They're still title favourites but will this hold them back in the Champions League?

  20. Arsenal's hunt for a game-changing forwardpublished at 15:57 BST

    It was always going to be difficult for Arsenal to improve the side that won the Premier League and reached the Champions League final, but if the Gunners don't bring in a forward supporters will be disappointed.

    As the Gunners showed in their 1-0 win over Aston Villa last night in the Premier League, they have one of the best squads in Europe but there are still question marks over their attack.

    Bukayo Saka looks like he is getting back to his best after injury issues last season and has scored in the first two league games this season.

    But it is the centre forward and left wing positions where questions remain.

    Viktro Gyokeres scored 21 goals in all competitions but sometimes looks as though he doesn't fit the Arsenal style of play, while Kai Havertz although technically gifted is not a natural finisher.

    Arsenal have pursued Julian Alvarez and also Vinicius Jr but at this stage of the window it looks like they are going to be unsuccessful in their search for a game-changing forward.
