Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Traore determined to complete Spurs switch

Chelsea are set to miss out on a deal for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/MatteMoretto/status/1431647844239294469" target="_blank">Sky Italia</a>.

Wolves winger Adama Traore is determined to complete a switch to Tottenham before the summer window closes - according to <a href="https://cadenaser.com/emisora/2021/08/27/radio_valencia/1630050126_466772.html" target="_blank">Cadena SER</a>. The 25-year-old has instructed his agent Jorge Mendes to&nbsp;push through the move so he can reunite with former Wanderers boss Nuno Espirito Santo in north London. Wolves won't sell Traore for cheap, though, given the fact he still has two years remaining on his current contract.

West Ham are plotting a cut-price bid for Jesse Lingard after Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United, says <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-transfer-news-lingard-24860717" target="_blank">the Daily Star</a>. The England international, a member of Gareth Southgate's most recent squad, spent the latter half of last term on loan with the Hammers, to great success. David Moyes' side looked to have been priced out of a move earlier in the summer, but with Ronaldo's return, they feel they could still snatch a deal.

Borussia Dortmund assistant manager Rene Maric has labelled the rumours linking Axel Witsel with Aston Villa as “obvious nonsense”. Witsel has spent the last three years of his career on Dortmund's books, having initially been snapped up on a four-season contract following his departure from&nbsp;Chinese Super League club Tianjin Quanjian. The Belgium international has since emerged as one of the most consistent midfielders in the Bundesliga and it has been reported that he has caught the eye of Villa, who are being tipped to launch a €5 million bid for his services before the August 31 transfer deadline.
