• City agree £65m deal with Everton for Senegal winger

• Richarlison to stay at Spurs, who agree Mudryk loan

Manchester City are poised to bolster their attack by buying Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye for up to £65m and have opened talks with Chelsea over a deal to sign Enzo Fernández.

City’s hijack of Tottenham’s deal for Ndiaye came after their attempts to sign Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo broke down. The Senegal international is poised to undergo a medical after a fee of £60m plus £5m in add-ons was agreed with Everton, who have little time to find a replacement for one of their most important players before the transfer window shuts on Tuesday night.

It has been a tough transfer window for Marseille and a 2-0 defeat at Monaco suggests it could be a long season

By Get French Football News

A humid night in Monaco provided an opportunity to gauge the temperature of the Marseille supporters. Despite the ban on away fans at the Stade Louis II, plenty were in attendance for their 2-0 defeat in the Principality. There were cheers for their new manager, Bruno Génésio, and boos for Geoffrey Kondogbia, but it was the silence for much of the second half that spoke volumes.

Génésio, who replaced Habib Beye in the summer, has been appointed to keep a lid on things. The former Lille manager has been part of a larger reshuffle at Marseille, with the president and the sporting director also replaced. The new arrivals have inherited a mess. After making promises to Uefa and the DNCG – French football’s financial watchdog – Marseille were allowed to compete in Europe this season. However, if they fail to reduce their wage bill drastically, they will not be allowed to do so next season.

• Club rejected weekend Gakpo bid from Manchester City

Bradley Barcola is aiming to win the Premier League after completing his move to Liverpool from Paris Saint‑Germain for an initial £106m, which could rise to £123m. The France international has signed a five-year deal.

Andoni Iraola has prioritised signing wingers this summer after replacing Arne Slot. Barcola follows the arrival of Victor Muñoz as the former Bournemouth head coach aims to rebuild the front line.

Some slightly lower-key deals for you:

Rotherham United have confirmed the signing of Manchester United youngster Jayce Fitzgerald on loan for the rest of the season.

Barcelona have signed 16-year-old prodigy Mikael Baza from Hamburg – he will join their youth ranks.

Jaden Heskey is to return to Sheffield Wednesday from Manchester City on loan after impressing last season.

Today’s chatter is talking about its dreams again

Elite football clubs splash out millions on their scouting efforts these days, gather reams of data and spend countless meticulous hours assembling their recruitment plans, yet somehow the final days of the transfer window remain a desperate scrap, for some, to recruit players.

After an underwhelming start to the season and with a slightly threadbare frontline, Liverpool certainly find themselves in that bracket and, despite the fact Bradley Barcola is en route from PSG, the Reds want more wide forwards. Much seems to depend on Cody Gakpo’s future – with Manchester City and Tottenham in pursuit – but Andoni Iraola’s side have been linked with Chelsea’s Estêvão, as well as Yankuba Minteh and Ismaïla Sarr. What on earth Iraola’s forward options will look like in a couple of days is anyone’s guess.
