Arsenal duo set for full debuts vs Nottingham Forest

Manchester United have made it clear that midfielder Kobbie Mainoo won’t be allowed to leave on loan before Monday’s transfer deadline.

Manchester United are ready to make a formal bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko if he is prepared to join the club, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Chelsea’s best efforts to sign Dutch midfielder Xavi Simons appear to have hit a snag, as German club RB Leipzig appear adamant to keep hold of the central midfielder. The Blues have had several bids for Simons rejected and have been unable to make headway in their chase to sign one of Europe’s best young players, and it is understood that a deal will not be reached as RB Leipzig do not want any of the players offered by the Blues in part-exchange.
