Newcastle United have seen a bold £50 million ($68m) offer for Brighton star Joao Pedro rejected, with Chelsea also circling the Brazilian forward. The Magpies are expected to return with an improved bid, but face stiff competition in the market for one of the Premier League’s most versatile and in-demand attackers.

Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo has labelled his teammate Tyrique George as the sinister doppelganger to Arsenal and England superstar Bukayo Saka.

Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens in a deal worth up to €65 million (£55.5m/$76m), according to fresh reports from German outlet Bild.

Leicester City have officially dismissed manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, bringing an end to his brief tenure just under two months after the club's relegation from the Premier League.
