What could Liverpool do in the remaining few days of the transfer window? The Reds drew 2-2 at Newcastle on Sunday, but Andoni Iraola is struggling for midfield balance, with Ryan Gravenberch’s role uncertain after a mixed performance at St James’ Park, writes Richard Jolly:

Carlos Baleba has joined Manchester United as Michael Carrick has completed a hat-trick of midfield buys this season.

The Cameroon international, who has signed a five-year deal at Old Trafford, has joined from Brighton for an initial £65m.

United could pay an extra £5m in add-ons for the 22-year-old, who believes he can reach a new level under Carrick, a former midfielder.

Will Julian Alvarez join Arsenal? It could be the transfer saga that defines the final week of the window. Alan Smith takes a look at everything we know:

The England striker Ollie Watkins seems dead set on leaving Villa in the lurch to join Al Hilal – which, Richard Jolly writes, is a great shame for a club and player who were very good for one another:

Chelsea are preparing to go back to Bournemouth for Alex Scott, as Enzo Fernandez moves closer to a move to Manchester City.

Bournemouth have so far shut down any interest, but there's a belief a bid of £80m-plus (prob closer to £90m) might bring reconsideration.

Nottingham Forest have agreed a club record deal of £50m to sign Chelsea striker Liam Delap.

The former Ipswich man has been displaced in the No 9 shirt at Stamford Bridge by Joao Pedro and the Chelsea hierarchy were open to letting him leave after a disappointing first campaign at the club.

Chelsea will make £20m profit on a striker they signed for £30m, and who scored just two goals in 41 appearances.

The 23-year-old is expected to complete a medical on Wednesday.

Spanish publication Marca are reporting that Alejandro Balde has decided that he wants to leave Barcelona in a huge boost to Manchester United’s hopes of signing him.

The report says that Joao Cancelo’s arrival and the fact that Balde was left out of Barca’s matchday squad for the game against Elche has changed Balde’s mind about remaining at the club and fighting for his place.

United are the frontrunners for his signature but they are said to want a loan deal instead of a permanent transfer as previously reported.

Arsenal are in talks with Al Hilal over a deal for winger Gabriel Martinelli, The Athletic’s David Ornstein reports.

The Brazilian was not included in Arsenal’s squad for their opening Premier League win against Coventry on Friday and previously turned down a move to Galatasaray.

BBC Sport adds he is free to leave the club this summer, with manager Mikel Arteta making it clear to the attacker that he is not in his plans.

Manchester City pulled off a remarkable win against Bournemouth oon Sunday, scoring twice inside the final 10 minutes of play to come from behind to win 2-1.

Jack Grealish played a role having come on as a second half substitute but there are still questions over whether he has a place at City in the long term.

Man City boss, Enzo Maresca, provided a quick update on Grealish’s situation saying: "Jack (Grealish), again, until the day he isn't here, it's my duty to try and coach Jack and to try to get the best from him.

"It's one more week to go (until the transfer window closes) and we'll see what happens, not only with Jack, but with more players."

Liam Delap is growing nearer to a Chelsea exit, with the striker in advanced talks with Nottingham Forest, the Press Association understands.

The 23-year-old had his squad number reassigned ahead of the new season and has been training separately from Xabi Alonso’s main group, having been told he is not in the new manager’s plans.

Chelsea are holding out for a £50m fee for a player they signed for £30m from Ipswich a year ago, despite the fact he managed only two goals in all competitions last season.
