Chelsea academy product Tino Anjorin is having a medical at Empoli reports to Sky in Italy.

The Blues have agreed an undisclosed deal with the Serie A side that will see them earn 50% of any future sale of the player.

The 22-year-old had been with Chelsea’s youth academy since the age of seven, he made five first-team appearances and becomes the latest academy player sold to fund the purchases of the rest of Chelsea’s massive squad.

Eddie Howe has been speaking ahead of tomorrow’s Carabao Cup game against Nottingham Forest. The Newcastle boss said: “We will try and play a really strong team; we want to progress.

“We will make changes as well at the same time, because we have a squad that I think enables me to do so, while not weakening the quality, we saw the strength of our bench on Sunday, which made a huge difference.

“There are a lot of players eager to show what they can do. We are determined to do well; this competition has been good for us. Last year we were incredibly close to another semi-final.”

Crystal Palace are confident they can land Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah before the end of the transfer window on Friday.

Talks have been ongoing with the Gunners and a deal, worth up to £30m, has been touted for the striker. Nketiah did look set to join Nottingham Forest earlier in the window but personal terms were never agreed on and the deal fell through.

It is understood that Palace have already agreed terms with Nketiah, which would make him one of their highest earners, and Arsenal are expected to accept an offer of £25m with a further £5m in bonuses.

Sky Sports News are saying that Paris Saint-Germain are happy with the agreed deal for Manuel Ugarte to join Manchester United.

The two clubs have come to an agreement for a £50.7m purchase with a 10% sell-on clause including for the French champions.

United started the negotiations at £29.6m and then wanted a loan, but eventually agreed to PSG’s demands for an immediate purchase.

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna spoke about his new signings Dara O’Shea and Jack Clarke saying: “Both are available [to face Wimbledon] and both are very different players.

“Both are two good additions, good ages with vast football experience.

“Both strengthen us in different areas of the pitch. Dara will bring leadership to our backline. Jack we know has got some real quality in the final third and he has goals and assists from the left-hand-side.”

The Guardian are reporting that Kepa Arrizabalaga is undergoing at medical at Bournemouth ahead of a season-long loan from Chelsea.

In 2018, Kepa became the world’s most-expensive goalkeeper after Chelsea paid Athletic Bilbao £71.6m for him, signing him on a seven-year contract.

The deal is believed to be a straight loan, with Arrizabalaga set to extend his contract at Stamford Bridge so Chelsea retain his value.

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna has confirmed the club are interested in signing Armando Broja.

“Armando is a player we have spoken to, I think that is pretty well known,” McKenna said. There are discussions going on with Chelsea at the moment. the discussions are ongoing so we will see if that is right for the club and player before Friday.”

Aston Villa have confirmed Samuel Iling-Junior has joined Bologna on loan just two months or so since joining the Premier League side.

The 20-year-old signed for Villa on July 1 from Juventus. Iling-Jr was part of Unai Emery’s squad in pre-season, taking part in the tour of the United States.

Juventus have signed 21-year-old Francisco Conceicao on a season-long loan from Porto. The forward joins the Italian side after returning to Porto for a third stint this summer following his impressive display at Euro 2024.

With Juve signing a forward does that mean Federico Chiesa’s rumoured move to Liverpool is closer to happening? Perhaps.

Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed he plans to end his career with current club Al Nassr – but probably not for another two or three years.
