- Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has admitted that he could move to the Chinese Super League in the future. Coming soon after Jose Mourinho’s comments that he would not blame a player for choosing to move there, perhaps there is more smoke to this fire. Rooney did insist that he was happy currently, and could see out his contract.

- Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic could be on his way out of the club soon. The Serb has found game-time almost non-existent under Antonio Conte, and Everton are said to be interested in Ivanovic as a cheap replacement for club legend Phil Jagielka, who could be on his way to Sunderland.

- Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is hoping to solve his defensive problems with a move for highly rated Burnley defender Michael Keane. Leicester City and Everton were also in the race, but Manchester City could comfortably price them out of a move.
