      Meanwhile another said: “Low-key could actually be waiting for Mudryk.”
      One then stated: “Waiting for his mate Mudryk. Agent Zinnyyyyy.”

      After missing out on the victory over the Cottagers over the weekend due a minor knee problem, Zinchenko could return for Wednesday’s home clash against Aston Villa.
      And the ex-Manchester City left-back may be deployed in central midfield with both Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny out injured.

      Sky Sports claims United are preparing for a flurry of transfer activity ahead of Thursday’s deadline.
      The Red Devils today confirmed the £85.5million arrival of Brazilian forward Antony from Ajax.
      And United are also thought to be in the market for a new striker as Cristiano Ronaldo continues to push for an exit.
      But Ten Hag is focusing on signing a right-back too.

      Diogo Dalot has started the season as Ten Hag’s preferred choice in the role.
      But he is now targeting Dest to bring more speed and attacking intent down the right flank.
      The duo worked together at Ajax during the 2019/20 campaign before Dest was snapped up by Barca.
      However, the 21-year-old is now up for sale as the Spaniards look to raise funds.

      And United are considering a swoop before linked clubs – including league rivals Chelsea – make their move.
      Should Dest wind up at Old Trafford this week, United will then allow Wan-Bissaka to depart.
      The 24-year-old has made just one appearance this term.
      Wan-Bissaka cost United £50million to sign from Crystal Palace three years ago.
      And the Eagles are bidding to bring him back to Selhurst Park.

      by

      SERGIO REGUILON has returned to Spain after signing for Atletico Madrid on a season-long loan from Tottenham.The 25-year-old has failed to deliver in North London after joining from Atletico’s city rivals Real Madrid in 2020.

      Spanish defender Reguilon hasn’t featured in any match for Spurs this season
      The left-back lost his place in the Spurs team to Ryan Sessegnon under Antonio Conte last season.
      And following the arrival of wing-back Ivan Perisic, the ex-Sevilla loanee was deemed surplus to requirements by the Italian gaffer.
      He has been omitted from all four of Spurs’ opening Premier League clashes with Conte banishing him from the first-team squad.
      Reguilon was linked with a switch to the Wanda Metropolitano last week prior to Spurs’ 2-0 away win at Nottingham Forest.

      And he has now sealed a return to LaLiga, with a Tottenham statement reading: “Sergio Reguilon has joined Atletico Madrid on loan for the 2022-23 season.”
      Reguilon departs Spurs having scored twice in 67 games in all competitions.
      He had seemed destined to join Lazio before Atletico entered the fray.
      Diego Simeone’s side acted quickly in managing to bring the defender back to his native country.

      Atletico do not have an option-to-buy clause in their loan agreement for the player.
      Reguilon isn’t the only star Spurs have shipped out on loan with Tanguy Ndombele signing for Napoli, including a £25million buy option.
      Meanwhile Giovani Lo Celso has returned to Villarreal on loan after spending last term with the Yellow Submarines.
      And academy graduate Harry Winks is also set to follow the trio out of the door with Sampdoria hopeful of bringing him in on a temporary basis. More

      And the Red Devils confirmed the announcement of the Brazilian star – more than double what they originally wanted to pay.
      The club said an agreement was in place with Ajax and subject to a medical, personal terms and international clearance, the transfer would be done.
      Ajax stated the deal is worth a Dutch-record €100m – around £85.5m – with £81.3m up front and the remaining £4.2m in possible add-ons.
      Antony is now poised to link up with United after being snapped walking into the club’s Carrington HQ last night.

      In a video circulating on social media, he was beaming as he walked through the main doors at United’s training ground complex.
      However, as Newcastle have seen with Alexander Isak, getting a work permit sorted can take a while.
      Therefore, Antony is not expected to be available to feature away at Leicester on Thursday night.
      That would instead mean he should make his debut in a crunch clash against high-flying Arsenal on Sunday instead.
      Most read in Football
      Antony has racked up 31 goals and 27 assists in his 134 appearances for Ajax and Sao Paulo.
      The nine-cap Brazil international also has two Eredivisie winners medals and an Olympic gold in his trophy cabinet.
      But in a bombshell interview with Fabrizio Romano last week, the attacker begged Ajax to sell him.
      He said: “Since February of this year, my agents came to Amsterdam to inform Ajax of my desire to leave the club to face new a challenge and that some interested clubs would arrive and with them, certainly a great offer.

      “In June of this year, I interrupted my vacation and came personally to inform the managers of Ajax, including new coach, about my wish to leave and that they should consider this possibility, because it was a project for two seasons.
      “During the window months, meetings continued and I also received a proposal from Ajax for contract renewal.
      “I made it clear once again: I want to leave.”
      He added: “Today, in a meeting with the club, I expressed my old interest in leaving, only this time with a considerable offer on the table.
      “Others had already arrived! Ajax refused with argument that they only have five days to replace me.
      “I’m not asking Ajax to release me, I’m asking Ajax to sell me with the highest bid ever for an Eredivisie player.

      “I’ve been insisting on this theme since February so that the club could rebuild the team with peace of mind.”
      Antony becomes Ten Hag’s fifth signing this window after the arrivals of Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro.

      But according to Mundo Deportivo, Isak had the chance to go to Old Trafford instead.
      It is said the Red Devils considered a substantial offer for the forward to try and lure him to the North-West.
      However, the report states advice from Isak’s agent led to the 37-cap international turning down Erik ten Hag’s advances.
      And United, therefore, did not make an official bid as they continue to hunt for a new forward – with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Victor Osimhen both targeted.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      That meant there would be no immediate clash for Isak his former side.
      United host Sociedad in their opening Europa League group game on September 8 – less than two weeks after Isak’s exit from the club he joined in 2019.
      Instead, the new No14 chose the project at the mega-rich Magpies and is hoping to make his Newcastle debut tomorrow at Liverpool.
      Eddie Howe cannot select him until he has received his work permit.

      So the Toon are doing all they can to secure clearance from the Home Office – with the paperwork needing to be done and sent to the Premier League by midday today.
      The Isak transfer smashed the £40m transfer records the club spent on Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes.
      Speaking to Newcastle’s website, Isak said: “I’m delighted to have it done. It was a big, big decision for me but it is a decision I am really happy with.
      “It is a great, historical club that I think anyone would like to play for, with amazing fans.
      “They were a big part of why I came here – and also the club’s project, which is one that I really believe in.
      “You always want to go into a team and know how they play.
      “I think Newcastle play very attractive football and I want to be a part of that.” More

      Watch Dele Alli nutmeg opponent, go on mazy run and almost set up brilliant goal just three minutes into Besiktas debut

      The 26-year-old spent just eight months at Goodison Park before deciding to give the Super Lig a shot.
      Alli failed to impress Toffees boss Frank Lampard in the 13 appearances he made on Merseyside.
      But Besiktas fans didn’t seem to be bothered by his turbulent career as they gave him a hero’s welcome when he arrived in Turkey.
      And it took Alli just three minutes to show flashes of his talents in his debut for the club against Sivasspor.

      The former Tottenham midfielder received the ball in his own half before neatly slipping it through the legs of an oncoming opposition player.
      Alli then left a number of Sivasspor players in his wake as he charged into their area at lightning speed and then delivered a defence-splitting ball.
      But Sivasspor breathed a sigh of relief as Alli’s team-mate failed to latch onto the acute pass – keeping the scores level.
      However, the miss didn’t matter in the end as Besiktas won the clash 3-1.

      Jackson Muleka scored twice either side of Besiktas’ second goal — netted by former Burnley forward Wout Weghorst.
      And Dia Saba hit a consolation goal for Sivasspor.
      Despite failing to score on his debut, Alli put in an impressive shift before getting subbed in the 78th minute at the Vodafone Park Stadium.
      He lined up alongside ex-Spurs midfielders Gedson Fernandes and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou.
      If Dele continues to impress, Besiktas could turn his loan stay into a permanent £6million move. More

      The Arsenal boss has identified Portuguese forward Neto, 22, as one of his top transfer targets ahead of deadline day.
      And according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the Wolves man could be easily persuaded to make the switch if the Gunners were to table a suitable offer before the window shuts on Thursday.
      When speaking on his ‘Here We Go’ podcast, he said: “Neto would be really tempted by Arsenal.
      “I am told the player is another factor in this story. He is not forcing anything, as of now, but he will be keen to move to Arsenal.

      “Pedro Neto is their main target as the winger.”
      However, Arteta is reluctant to pay over the odds for Neto having already spent around £120million on signing Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko this summer.

      Arsenal chiefs were prepared to table a £35m bid for the Portugal international, but Wolves made it clear that they would not entertain any offers of less than £50m.
      The Athletic now claim that a move is now highly improbable with Wolves reluctant to sell.
