Nigel de Jong, another ex-Man City player, signed a two-deal with Galatasaray after leaving LA Galaxy for the Turkish giants!

Anyone else remember that karate kick on Xabi Alonso in the 2010 World Cup final? Nasty, and Howard Webb didn’t even send De Jong off!

(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:

(19:44) Facebook stalking…

Like the look of that FB page makeover for David Luiz. He’s closing in on a return to Chelsea, rumoured fee of £30m – £20m less than PSG paid for him – and a three-year contract in the offing apparently.

(16:52) DONE DEAL: Alonso returns to PL with Chelsea

Former Real Madrid, Bolton Wanderers and Sunderland left back Marcos Alonso has signed for Chelsea for a reported €25m fee from Fiorentina. It’s fair to say the 25-year-old has had a see-saw career!

It seems there is still a three-horse race for supposedly unwanted Jack Wilshere, and Alan Pardew refuses to give up hope signing the England international for Crystal Palace, despite claims Roma are leading the way.

“Obviously there’s a lot of clubs that would like Jack, and I guess we’re one of them,” Pardew said. “But we’ve done so great in this window, it really would be the icing on the cake if we could get him across the line.”
