Thierry Henry has given his first training session as the Belgium national team’s assistant coach.

According to Marcelo Brozovic’s agent, Miroslav Bicanic, the Inter Milan midfielder is wanted by both Arsenal and Chelsea and the Serie A club is ready to let him go to either.

The most transparent ‘transfer saga’ of the summer could be about to end with – drum roll please – Mauro Icardi signing a new contract with Inter Milan. What a surprise. Not.

Remember Ricardo Rodriguez? The left-back we were heavily linked with at the beginning of the transfer window? Well, now Chelsea want him.

Talks with Valencia over bringing centre-back, Shkodran Mustafi, to Arsenal appear to be coughing and spluttering over the finish line, if reports are to be believed.

Back in early August Arsenal were linked with PSG’s Blaise Matuidi, who was a Manchester United target at the time and now his manager, Unai Emery, has come out to insist he’s one of the best players in the world. Okay.

Mauro Icardi and his agent are reportedly due in London for talks with Arsenal and Chelsea for about the 50th time this summer.

There are two opposing stories coming out of the Italian media regarding Inter Milan’s Mauro Icardi.

Although everyone’s still talking about Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez to Arsenal and reporting on it, there’s actually been very little change one way or the other.

Wednesday was full of the usual fun – I mean that sarcastically, of course – and some news.

Chelsea are reportedly ready to offer Oscar plus cash for Arsenal target, Mauro Icardi, who is valued at €65m by Inter Milan.

Although the press keep insisting Arsenal are trying to sign Mauro Icardi from Inter Milan it seems that Napoli may be the only club that are really doing anything about it.

Shkodran Mustafi is one of the players Arsenal fans have pinned their hopes on this summer but apparently the Gunners are waiting for is for Valencia to find his replacement before submitted an offer.

If reports are to be believed, Arsenal’s transfer situation is getting a little desperate as now both Chelsea and AC Milan want Shkodran Mustafi. Sigh.

Reports on Sunday claimed that Chelsea were moving closer to a deal to re-sign Romelu Lukaku from Everton, breaking Arsenal hearts.
