Leganés B Descripción general

Newcastle fans can be forgiven for experiencing a strange and unwanted feeling of deja vu this week. After being linked heavily with an exciting young attacker throughout the build-up to this summer’s transfer window, Liverpool have snuck in at the last and pipped them to the post - again. Last year, it was Hugo Ekitike; this year, it is Victor Munoz.

Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of Ibrahima Konate on a free transfer following his departure from Liverpool. The France international has agreed a four-year contract at the Santiago Bernabeu, becoming the latest addition to the club's squad as they continue to strengthen key areas ahead of the new season.

Liverpool have moved swiftly to secure Victor Munoz after triggering the Osasuna winger's €40 million (£34.6m) release clause. The Reds acted decisively to beat Newcastle United to the Spain international, with the 22-year-old now set to become the first signing of Andoni Iraola's tenure at Anfield.

Just over a month before the start of the World Cup, Ayyoub Bouaddi had yet to decide where his international future lay. Would the France Under-21 midfielder continue representing the nation of his birth? Or accept an offer to represent his parents' homeland, Morocco? In the end, after much deliberation, he went with the latter, and it's already looking like the correct call.
