Transfer news LIVE: Barcola set for Liverpool medical, Alvarez to Arsenal latest, Martinez agrees to Chelsea switch

After some major exits this summer, Newcastle are not done with new arrivals just yet, it seems…

Sarr was the defender who endured a troubled Champions League debut against PSG under Liam Rosenior. He is on his way to Real Sociedad on loan:

“Barcola, his profile, he’s 23, 6 ft, rapid,” Sean Dyche tells Talk Sport. “That’s a good start in the Premier League, flexible thinking, use him in different roles. I think he’ll be a really good signing, on paper it looks great.

“The Premier League is a different animal, one in three for PSG, but a lot of football for a relatively young footballer.

“The way the market is, Anderson starts the process, everyone wants more and more. The psychology of football, the opposition will have something to worry about, it affects the opposition before a ball is kicked.”

Has Jack Grealish made up his mind? It sounds like he may be heading back to Merseyside this week, according to TalkSport:

Here’s Delap on his £50m transfer to Nottingham Forest:

“This is a massive club with a big history,” Delap said.

“I spoke to the manager (Oliver Glasner) and I like his way, I think he can be the one to really help me develop and make that next step and hopefully I can bring goals here.

“As a team we can build something really strong and the main aim is to challenge and be a top club in the Premier League.”

Well, it’s hardly the success story that Chelsea wanted when they signed Liam Delap last summer but being able to recoup their money and more from Nottingham Forest feels good business. One hopes that Delap can make a success of himself at the City Ground after a tricky season at Stamford Bridge.

A marquee addition, then, for Liverpool – but is a new winger really what they need? Miguel Delaney explains the transfer puzzle that they have been trying to solve:

The Champions League winners have accepted an approach which will guarantee them just over £100m and, including add-ons, could rise to £120m.

The deal is not done yet but Liverpool reached a breakthrough in negotiations after coveting the France winger all summer.

Issa Kabore, the Manchester City right-back who has spent his entire City career on various loans, is now making his most recent loan to Wrexham a permanent move.
