Michy Batshuayi to Borussia Dortmund

According to the Evening Standard, Borussia Dortmund also have their Aubameyang replacement sorted in the form of Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.

The popular Belgian just hasn’t quite made it count on the pitch when he’s been given the chance by Antonio Conte, and in fairness that’s not been often.

Still, he’ll only join on loan for the moment and Chelsea will feel they’ve surely got an upgrade in the form of Giroud up front.

Lucas Moura to Tottenham

Sky Sports have reported that Lucas Moura has had a medical with Tottenham ahead of completing an exciting transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Brazilian winger arrived as a highly-rated wonderkid at PSG a few years ago, and it’s fair to say things haven’t really worked out that way for him.

Still, he’s shown flashes of brilliance and could certainly do a job for a team like Spurs, as many would struggle to play regularly with the likes of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe ahead of them in attack.

Riyad Mahrez to Manchester City

This one might be a bit of an outsider for deadline day, but BBC Sport claim Manchester City are after Riyad Mahrez and that he’s submitted a transfer request at Leicester City.

Following Leroy Sane’s injury, Mahrez could be an ideal signing for Pep Guardiola’s side in a key area, and would make a decent alternative to Alexis Sanchez, who ended up joining Manchester United instead.

BBC Sport suggest City are not yet close to matching Leicester’s valuation for Mahrez, but they should be able to afford to go higher so it’s worth keeping an eye on this one over the next 24 hours.
