Starting with Romeo Lavia then (are you as sick of this as I am?) and Sky Sports' Melissa Reddy was among those to report that Liverpool's second bid for the Southampton midfielder was rejected on Tuesday.

Weirdly, the Daily Record says Southampton are confident of getting 'in excess of £60m' for Lavia...Meanwhile, Reddy adds that the Reds are already working on back-up targets, with contact made for Andre Trindade of Fluminense, who is keen on the move.
However, Globe Esporte in Brazil says Fluminense will only sell now if the buyer accepts to delay the move until January when the domestic season finishes.READ MORE: Andre Trindade – Is the Fluminense star ready to replace Fabinho?
