When Manchester City decided to sell 21-year-old bit-part player Cole Palmer to Chelsea for 42.5m in September 2023, after his 19 Premier League appearances for the club had produced no goals, they may have initially felt that they'd got the better of the deal. Two years later, Palmer struck his 38th Premier League goal for Chelsea this September, on only his 72nd appearance, and he has now become key for both club and country.

The 21-year-old is one of the finest young talents in the Premier League, and top teams are keen on securing his signature. The Eagles are now looking at potential replacements, and they have identified the Rangers star Nicolas Raskin as a potential option, as per Fichajes. Raskin was linked with Leeds United during the summer transfer window. He has been previously linked with Aston Villa as well.

"I'm working hard to push myself and play my game," Isak said. "Things have been a bit tougher for us. "I believe that as the team improves and things start to flow better, it will also get better for me. "I've been really happy so far. I'm in a city where the team has a very good relationship with the fans, which is important. It's been nice so far."

"expectation of perfection"

Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring the performances of Hayden Hackney ahead of a potential move. The 23-year-old has been a key player for Middlesbrough in the Championship, and Tottenham are keen on securing his signature. They could use more creativity and control in the middle of the park, and the English midfielder would be a quality long-term investment. He will want to compete at the highest level, and the move to the Premier League could be ideal for him.

They've since lost two straight Premier League matches to goals in the 97th and 95th minutes. Last season, they lost two Premier League games -- total -- before they clinched the league title. Throw in the 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League last week, and they've lost three games in a row for the first time since 2023. Their manager, Arne Slot, has now lost three straight games for the first time in his career.

Bayern Munich are interested in Crystal Palace's 25-year-old England defender Marc Guehi, who is out of contract at the end of the season and had a deadline-day move to Liverpool collapse last month.

Leeds United sit 15th in the Premier League after seven matches of the new campaign with two wins and eight points - a reasonable showing that over the course of 38 games would see them surpass the once-heralded 40-point mark synonymous with survival. It has been a competitive season so far with all 20 teams already suffering at least one defeat and there has been plenty of discussion, too, about the performance of newly-promoted sides Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen wants more playing time For a 33-year-old who wants to head into next summer's World Cup sharp and match-fit, lack of guaranteed minutes is a clear motivator to explore options elsewhere. The three English clubs linked with ter Stegen present contrasting but convincing cases. Man United have just introduced Senne Lammens, who kept a clean sheet on his debut in the 2-0 win over Sunderland, suggesting the club have an eye to the future.

This was the moment Estevao Willian arrived in English football. More than 16 months since a deal was agreed to bring the teenager to Stamford Bridge from Palmeiras, Estevao sent Chelsea fans into delirium by scoring a 95th-minute winner to clinch a 2-1 victory over Premier League champions Liverpool. The goal sparked such emotion that Blues manager Enzo Maresca was sent off for running 50 yards to celebrate with his players.
