Cole Palmer remains an injury doubt ahead of Chelsea's Premier League return against Brentford this weekend. The English forward's status remains unknown. With the Blues looking to maintain momentum after wins against West Ham and Fulham, the absence of their brightest spark is a headache Enzo Maresca could do without.
Newcastle's £55m signing of Yoane Wissa was only completed with 30 seconds to spare on deadline day, after the striker initially failed to sign a critical form in the deal.
Yoane Wissa has finally sealed his £55 million ($74m) move to Newcastle, with Eddie Howe landing his new No.9 after a summer-long chase for an Isak replacement.
Yoane Wissa has accused Brentford of unfairly blocking his desired exit from the club, claiming the Bees have gone back on verbal and written agreements.
Supermodel Claudia Schiffer turned heads at the Gtech Community Stadium as she wore a Brentford shirt during the Bees' 1-0 win over Aston Villa.

Brentford manager Keith Andrews has thrown down the gauntlet to wantaway forward Yoane Wissa, issuing a warning about the striker’s antics as the team prepares for their clash with Aston Villa. Wissa, 28, has raised eyebrows with his recent actions, including deleting all Brentford references from his Instagram and unfollowing the club’s account, a move that suggests his intentions to leave.
Manchester United’s sweeping revolution under Sir Jim Ratcliffe has taken another bold step, with the club confirming the appointment of Stephen Torpey as their new academy director.

Nottingham Forest are reportedly going all in for Manchester City’s versatile young star Rico Lewis. Determined to pull off one of the summer’s most audacious moves, Forest have promised the 20-year-old both a guaranteed starting role and a salary package that would double his current wages, as revealed by talkSPORT. Lewis himself is open to the switch, with Forest pushing to seal an agreement with City before their European campaign kicks into gear.
Newcastle United are set to go back in for Yoane Wissa after Brentford agreed a £37 million ($50m) fee to sign Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth. The Cherries forward has given the green light for a switch to the Gtech Community Stadium, with final formalities expected within days. Ouattara’s arrival effectively ends Brentford’s resistance to selling the DR Congo striker.
