"We are going to sign one more player, that’s for sure," the boss admitted. "I don’t want to speak about Paul because he’s a Juventus player and I don’t like other managers speaking about my players. "I don’t speak about their players but the reality is we are going to sign one more player.

If Liverpool thought their luck was in with West Ham making a bid for Christian Benteke earlier in the summer, well now it appears that BOTH Everton AND Sunderland are after the Belgian. Jurgen Klopp - or the transfer committee, whoever the hell is in charge - are said to have rejected a sizable bid from the Hammers last month but their madness may be rewarded as David Moyes battles with Ronaldo Koeman to take the once deadly striker from Anfield.

Liverpool meanwhile are looking for an upgrade on Albert Moreno, which doesn't exactly say too much for Jonas Hector. But the German left back is being chased by his compatriot Jurgen Klopp and, according to The Sun (I know, sorry), they're prepared to offer FC Koln £20m for his services. Not that people would miss the Spaniard too much.

Arsene Wenger?
