(19:50) Denayer deal for Black Cats?
Sunderland do need to sign someone, though a striker would surely be preferable? Premier League relegation is a regular worry on Wearside, but it’s Belgium defender Jason Denayer on loan from Man City (yes, them offloading someone, again) on the cards:

Heavily linked with Real Madrid earlier this summer, it looks as if Moussa Sissoko is on his way to Everton – and Spurs have given up on the chase for the £30m-rated France midfielder.
(16:59) Wilshere to pick English south coast over Italy?
It seems that Wilshere doesn’t fancy a move to Italy with AC Milan or Roma after all, as he is on his way to Bournemouth to complete a loan move. Perhaps the Cherries can guarantee him a starting place… when/if fit of course.
