Wolverhampton Wanderers have completed the loan signing of Wales midfielder Jordan James from Ligue 1 club Rennes with an option to buy at the end of the season. The 22-year-old returns to the English Midlands following a standout individual campaign at Leicester City, where he netted 11 goals and claimed their Player of the Season award last term.
Paris Saint-Germain have been forced to reverse the venue for their Ligue 1 opener against Rennes after extreme summer heatwaves left the Parc des Princes pitch unusable. The French champions will now travel to Roazhon Park on Sunday, with the return fixture between the two clubs later in the campaign set to be staged in the capital instead.
Premier League clubs Arsenal, Crystal Palace, and Fulham have all identified Brest centre-back Raphael Le Guen as a primary transfer target this summer. Crystal Palace are currently leading the race for the defender, but Mikel Arteta's Arsenal could launch a late bid as they urgently seek defensive cover for William Saliba following his recent injury.
Paul Pogba has officially left AS Monaco after the club and the French midfielder mutually agreed to terminate his contract. The unexpected departure comes ahead of the new season after initial objectives were only partially achieved.
