Meanwhile Everton have signed Man City’s Fabian Delph, who is keen to play more often after a peripheral role at the Etihad under Pep Guardiola.

“The club that I’ve been at has had success, especially in the last two seasons, but over the last four years we managed to win trophies,” he told Everton’s website.

“I wanted to be playing more regularly and the opportunity to come and play for Everton was too good of an opportunity to turn down.”

Rafa Benitez will make Solomon Rondon his first signing in the Chinese Super League according to The Telegraph.

Bentiez worked with the Venezuelan during his time at Newcastle, who he left in favour of Dalian Yifang earlier this month.

The striker would cost £16.5 million, signing a three-year contract worth $8 million in wages.

Celtic manager, Neil Lennon, has spoken on Arsenal's summer pursuit of full-back Kieran Tierney.

"The club's valuation of Kieran has not been met and until then we don't have a discussion to make," Lennon said.

''I don't know what Arsenal's financial state is. I know what ours is and we are quite comfortable with the situation at the moment.''

"There has been a second bid, the bid has been rejected and it's as you were."

Corriere dello Sport are reporting that Roma are set to offer former Chelsea striker, Gonzalo Higuain, their captaincy in an attempt to lure him to the Italian capital from Juventus.

The Argentinian striker spent the first half of last season at AC Milan before moving to Chelsea in January where he worked under former coach, and now Juventus boss, Mauricio Sarri .

The departure of Higuain may prove to be the catalyst for Inter Milan's Mauro Icardi's expected move away from the San Siro.
