Vydra and Wells swap on the cards
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
Before we get going.
Another news flash from Burnley, who are now apparently in talks with Derby over a possible deal that will see the Clarets sign Matej Vydra and Nahki Wells head in the other direction.
According to Sky Sports both players are set to do medicals at their respective potential new clubs later on Tuesday.
However, if a deal is completed, then Vydra would join Burnley on a permanent deal, but Wells would only join Derby on loan.
That's the Vydra that received the Championship Golden Boot last term, after scoring 21 goals for the Rams.

Josh Gafson: For goodness sake just pay the 7 million
more spurs!!! Getting really frustrated with Spurs
transfer window. Surely Pochettino won’t think we have a perfect team so why
aren't we signing anyone?!
Phil Robson: So Chelsea plan to sell one keeper for
£31 million and buy a replacement for £70 million? Sounds like good business.
SMS Message: Interesting to remember that when Modric attempted to engineer a move from Spurs to Chelsea, many Chelsea fans said Spurs should accept it as a small club lacking ambition.

Courtois...His wish to move to Madrid is primarily to be near his children.
It’s not because he has issues with Sarri or his teammates.

day bans for every day that players try to strike their way away from a club
and suspend their agent's license.
Ali Ahmad: If Man Utd sign a new centre-back, he will

out on loan?
Newcastle players in bonus pay row
In case you missed this one....
The season hasn't even begun and Newcastle players are already revolting.
The dispute concerns player bonuses, and has resulted in the squad refusing to carry out post-match interviews after two recent pre-season friendly defeats.
But after the Braga defeat, Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez said the club's fans "need to be concerned".
Newcastle start their Premier League campaign at home to Spurs on Saturday.

'It's priceless to be part of a team'
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
Everybody talks about the team ethos at Burnley don't they. You know the saying, 'there's no I team' and all that.
And new boy Joe Hart is no exception despite only recently arriving at the Clarets Barnfield training centre.
"They say it's priceless but to be part of a team where everyone is pushing in the same direction is not as normal as you would expect it to be," he said.
"I heard that was the vibe and I've come here first day, and you can just see it. It just stinks of it. Everyone wants to play for each other, everyone wants to win and everyone wants to do their best."
'I feel like I'm in the right place'
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
Right time for a few lines from Joe Hart who joined Burnley from Manchester City earlier on in a two-year deal for a fee in the region of £3.5m.
"They (Manchester City) are doing fantastic and I'm very happy for them," he said.
"They
need to go on and do their thing and I need to do mine.
"I feel like I'm in the right place and I feel like this is my time to kick on
now. Everything has really impressed me. I've heard such good things about the
atmosphere."

Palace target Ayew refuses to train at Swansea
Jordan Ayew is in hot water with his manager after refusing to train with the Swansea first team.
Ayew, 26, was the Swans' top scorer as they were relegated from the Premier League last season.
And the striker is now hoping to force a move away from South Wales, with Crystal Palace or Fulham his most likely destinations.
"There's no further news on Jordan - he's just not been here," Swansea manager Graham Potter said.
"That tells you that he's not part of what we're trying to do, by his own actions," Potter told BBC Sport Wales.

However, the Ecuadorian will head straight out on loan to La Liga 2 club Extremadura UD for the 2018/19 season.

Kepa on Chelsea's radar

Chelsea are
weighing up their options as their current number one looks to force through a
move to Real Madrid.
Goal understand that the Blues are considering activating Kepa Arrizabalaga’s €80
million (£71m) release clause. Spanish reports claim that Sarri is a keen
admirer of the Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper.
A move for
the 23-year old would potentially break Chelsea’s transfer record. A record
only set last season after Alvaro Morata’s £58 million transfer from Real Madrid.
Mbenza would tick a lot of boxes
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
The Huddersfield Examiner say that Montpellier’s versatile £13.5m forward Isaac Mbenza would tick a lot of boxes for Hudderfield head coach David Wagner.
The 22-year-old, who is being linked with a move to the Terriers, has been capped by Belgium at Under-21 level, and can operate on either wing or up front.
So he's a bit like recent purchase Adama Diakhaby...then?

Jerome Boateng has been encouraged to shun a move to Manchester United - by his Bayern Munich team-mates.

Boateng has played for Bayern since his switch from Manchester City in 2011.
Franck Ribery reiterated Alaba's thoughts and said: "I've been playing with Jerome for many years now,"
"I hope he'll stay with us because he's an important player. To me, he's one of the best central defenders in the world."

Latest PostThat's a wrap
We're about to finish up for today, on a day dominated by two keepers - one has gone awol and the other has taken a trip up the M66.
So, Joe Hart is the big story of the day as he signs a two-year deal with Burnley.
Meanwhile, a deal still dragging on is Thibaut Courtois' prospective move to Real Madrid, with the Belgian keeper at loggerheads with Chelsea.
The 26-year-old has now missed two days of training and is facing a hefty fine as a result.
Elsewhere, Jack Grealish appears to be edging closer to a dream move to Tottenham from Aston Villa, but his manager Steve Bruce still hopes to keep the midfielder at Villa Park.
