Plus, Arsenal star Bukayo Saka sent a Tottenham message and Man Utd's recruitment staff are 'working in fear' because of the club's recent flop signings. There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right in.

Mudryk regret

It has been revealed that Chelsea signing Mykhailo Mudryk stopped them from landing Arsenal superstar Declan Rice.

Saka's Spurs message

Bukayo Saka insists that Arsenal must win trophies this season to avoid becoming like...Tottenham.

Riccardo Calafiori could help them to claim silverware and Mikel Arteta has now revealed exactly why he was signed.

Arsenal also had a Plan B lined up in case they wouldn't have been able to sign him - and that Plan B is now being scouted by Chelsea.

Man Utd mess

Man Utd's recruitment team is 'working in fear' of signing more flops.

Manuel Ugarte may be the next poor buy and he has been slammed for his performance against Spurs.

Manager Erik ten Hag has upset supporters with his latest comments.

He claims that he has not lost the dressing room.

But Sir Alex Ferguson has reportedly already recommended a replacement.

However, Man Utd bosses would do well to ignore his suggestion.

One of Ten Hag's former assistants has revealed why things aren't working out for the Dutchman.

His current assistant, Ruud van Nistelrooy, would be next in line to replace him, but he still backs his compatriot.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. Jhon Duran's uncle has made a big claim regarding the Aston Villa star's future.

Martin Zubimendi has explained his decision to reject Arsenal and Liverpool.

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that PSG considered making a record bid for Lamine Yamal earlier this year.

The transfer expert has also responded to a bizarre Darwin Nunez rumour.

There are only four clubs with a realistic chance of signing Florian Wirtz.

Man Utd have transfer-listed one of their most expensive players.

Enzo Maresca has explained why Cole Palmer was omitted from Chelsea's Conference League squad.

The Chelsea boss also played a major role in keeping a promising player at the club this summer.

Wojciech Szczesny has officially joined Barcelona.

There is no guarantee that Chelsea will make a move for Victor Osimhen in January.

They may, however, sign a centre-back.
