The summer tug of war for Juventus forward Paulo Dybala shows no sign of abating with the <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1175194/Tottenham-Transfer-News-Paulo-Dybala-PSG-Neymar-Juventus-Mauricio-Pochettino" target="_blank">Express</a> claiming Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham are both still keen on signing him. PSG are still looking for a long-term replacement for Neymar despite the loan deal for Mauro Icardi, while Spurs are apparently confident of overcoming the image rights issues which scuppered their deal for him over the summer. Spurs are also fearful of losing Christian Eriksen in January, and see Dybala as a positive addition in his stead.

While the Blues' two-window transfer ban is set to still be in place, they have already appealed to the&nbsp;Court of Arbitration for Sport to have it reduced to one window - which has just passed.&nbsp; They will likely use the example of Manchester City in their argument, after they recently escaped a suspension for transfer-related offences of their own.

Kevin Trapp made his loan move back to Eintracht Frankfurt permanent this summer, but he says he wanted to stay at Paris Saint-Germain. Goalkeeper Trapp, signed from Frankfurt in 2015, was PSG's first-choice keeper for two years but fell out of favour, and was pushed further down the pecking order this summer by the arrival of Keylor Navas from Real Madrid. "It was still possible that I could play," Trapp told <a href="https://leclub.canal.fr/" target="_blank">Canal+</a>.&nbsp;"The competition with Alphonse [Areola],&nbsp;it wasn't anything new, it did not bother me because I wanted to stay at the club, that&nbsp;was my goal."

Bob Ratcliffe, chief executive of INEOS Football, says Newcastle and Chelsea were considered for potential takeovers before the firm eventually bought Ligue 1 side Nice this summer. INEOS took over the French side after purchasing the Team Sky Cycling team earlier in the year. Ratcliffe told BBC Radio 5Live that the numbers for a Premier League takeover just didn't add up, saying:&nbsp;"(It's) pretty difficult to rationalise purchases in the Premier League at this time for us and then, if you look below the top six, they're all £150m and above and you're going to write a cheque for £50m and get in the 'Everton Cup'."
