Oliver Glasner said after victory in Nottingham Forest's friendly against Brest last Sunday that they were working on "two or three" deals. Forest are looking at quality over quantity and moving with precision in the window takes more time, especially in their pursuit of Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall, with the Sweden international now likely to stay in north London. Leeds boss Daniel Farke is the third-longest serving Premier League manager after moving to Elland Road in July 2023 and last season's 14th place gives the German the foundation for success this time around.
The 44-year-old is focused on maintaining ‘emotional control’ and a slew of sensible signings offer genuine hopeIt is a necessary reset. Although it would be pushing it to say that Chelsea have switched from development centre to retirement home, even after the signings of Jordan Henderson and Danny Welbeck, there has been a clear shift in strategy this summer. Some grownups are in the room at last and, for Xabi Alonso, the hope is that bringing in more experience will help a squad still packed with youngsters show more composure when adversity strikes.Discipline was a problem for Chelsea last season: they had 11 red cards in all competitions and a lot of the wounds were self-inflicted.

Goalkeeper James Trafford justified the £45m - a record for a British goalkeeper - Leeds paid to Manchester City for his services with some decisive stops.
