Tottenham are in advanced talks with Bournemouth over a deal for Dominic Solanke.

Spurs made their first approach late on Thursday. Solanke has a release clause of £65m that is only applicable to certain clubs and a striker is a priority position for Tottenham.

Over £130m on Richarlison and Solanke? That's crazy!

Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Pedro Neto from Wolves.

The west London side will pay a fee of €60million plus €3million in potential bonuses to sign Neto, who will have a medical shortly.

Total madness that Barcelona can pay something like £45m for Dani Olmo but players like Neto and Solanke are going for £10-15m more.

Conor Gallagher will return to London on a private flight, with Atletico Madrid still yet to pen the final signatures for the Chelsea midfielder

Despite Gallagher having photos with the club and a tour around the stadium, the move is still hanging in the balance.

Conor Gallagher returned to England last night after spending five days in transfer limbo in Madrid.

The England midfielder will attend Cobham today. If he trains, he is expected to do so with a separate group from the first team, including Armando Broja and Trevoh Chalobah.

Gallagher's proposed £36m transfer is on hold after the deal for Samu Omorodion the other way collapsed on Sunday.

Hopefully, he gets a move soon. He doesn't deserve to be treated like that by Chelsea.
