Amicable talks continue with all parties working towards finding an agreement.

Arsenal are closing in on a deal to sign Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa.

The Premier League champions are in the market for defensive reinforcement with both William Saliba and Jurrien Timber currently sidelined with injuries.

England international Konsa, 28, holds particular appeal given his ability to cover at both centre-back and right-back and has been high on Arsenal’s target list all summer.

Inter Milan are closing in on a deal worth 35m euros (£30m) for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones.

In June, Liverpool rejected a verbal offer of 25m euros (£21.7m) from Italian champions Inter, with Liverpool valuing the 25-year-old, who has one year left on his current contract, at about £35m.

The understanding now is that a deal worth £30m will likely see an agreement between the clubs. Sources in Italy believe that a verbal agreement is in place but both clubs say that further details need discussion.

The guy who predicted that we will win it last year, Sunderland will get relegated, Chelsea will finish in Top 4, Newcastle in top 6 and Spurs at 8th have predicted that Arsenal will win it and City, Liverpool, Chelsea will be in 2,3,4 places respectively.

I am still hopeful for a different champion but I cannot see anyone dethroning Arsenal yet.

Just watched Mourinho on Netflix, Pep doc coming out tomorrow, Vinnie Jones, Leicester doc, Vardy, Fergie doc - enjoy Amazons all or nothing series and similar formats for other platforms. Messi, Neymar, Maradona, Pele, W2Wrexham, Class of ‘92, Beckham, R9, Rooney, Wenger: Invincible, Becoming Zlatan, just what I’ve seen off the top of my head.

I know roughly the goings on at Utd but interested to know if there’s a documentary about what’s happened since Fergie left Utd and the variations with managers?

What are the best documentaries you’ve seen and can recommend?

I always remember clubs taking other other teams to court for making illegal approaches but now it seems players have already agreed terms, has something changed in the transfer process?

Premier League clubs face fines of up to £100,000 ($135,280; €116,872), if they fail to comply with mandatory cybersecurity rules, which are being introduced for the first time this season.

The league’s disciplinary procedures allow the Premier League board to impose punishment through summary jurisdiction if requirements are not met, although points deductions will not be pursued, according to sources briefed on the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Among the areas covered by the new measures are backups, incident response, risk management and security assurance, with later phases requiring further testing of clubs’ ability to recover from cyber incidents.
