Julian Alvarez has finally decided to remain at Atlético Madrid until at least the January transfer window, effectively ending a protracted summer saga. Despite heavy interest from Arsenal and a strong personal desire to join Barcelona, the Argentine forward will continue to ply his trade under Diego Simeone for now.
Sunderland have sensationally hijacked Arsenal's pursuit of Malick Fofana, agreeing a £30 million deadline-day deal with Lyon. The highly-rated Belgium international had previously held direct talks with Mikel Arteta regarding a move to north London. However, the Gunners ultimately opted against the transfer, allowing the Black Cats to swoop in and seal a massive coup.
