Chelsea to hijack Liverpool's £55 million move and other EPL transfer rumours of the day - 8th August

Manchester City

Does Pep have any more full-backs up his sleeve?

The Citizens are going the Chelsea way - in that, they are generating hyper talented young talents and sending them all on loan to Holland. The latest to track that well-beaten path across the North Sea is Mexican starlet Uriel Antuna on a two-year loan deal to FC Groningen (the club where Luis Suarez started off his European journey).

A part of that: Celtic and Nice want to sign Manchester City's former Fulham midfielder Patrick Roberts, 20 years old and full of promise.

Since they already bought every other fullback on the market, the Citizens have decided to pass up on this week's hot favourites - Serge Aurier and Sergi Roberto.

Fear not, though, my blue City fans, Pep Guardiola has stated that he is still two signings away from having a good transfer window - so expect more movement this month.

The Catalan is looking to his home nation, and he likes the cut of Inigo Martinez's jib. La Real's superstar defender is also wanted by Barcelona - so he won't come cheap. Oh, and they still haven't given up on Kylian Mbappe.
