Hughes open to Foster loan

Mark Hughes is open to letting goalkeeper Fraser Forster leave the club on loan, with the 30-year-old frustrated with a lack of playing time for the Saints.

Fulham swoop for Cameroon midfielder Anguissa

Fulham have broken their transfer record to sign Cameroonian defensive midfielder Andre-Frank Anguissa from Olympique de Marseille, the Premier League club said on Thursday.

The 22-year-old, who British newspapers reported cost 22.3 million pounds ($28.6 million), agreed a five-year-deal with newly promoted Fulham subject to being granted a work permit.

“Andre’s tremendous data profile, his glowing scouting reports, and his sterling reputation confirm his world class talent," Fulham director of football operations Tony Khan told the club website.

“Throughout this summer, we’ve pursued elite players on whom we believed we could rely to deliver the quality required to challenge the great competition we’ll face in the Premier League, and thus, Andre has been one of our top targets."

Anguissa joined Marseille in 2015, helping them finish fourth in Ligue 1 last season and reach the Europa League final.

Southampton sign striker Ings on loan

Southampton have signed striker Danny Ings on a season-long loan from Liverpool before a permanent move next year, the Premier League club said on Thursday.

The 26-year-old Ings played only 14 games in three years at Liverpool after suffering a number of injury problems.

Ings started his career with Bournemouth before joining Burnley in 2011 and he played one match for England in 2015.

"He didn't get to play as much as he would have liked at Liverpool, but he has been injury-free for some time now and has a real point to prove," Hughes said.

Spanish goalkeeper Rico joins Fulham on loan from Sevilla

Fulham have signed Spanish goalkeeper Sergio Rico on a season-long loan deal from Sevilla, the newly-promoted Premier League club said on Thursday.

The 24-year-old academy graduate has made 170 appearances for Sevilla during his career, and has also been capped once by the national team.

Huddersfield sign Belgian winger Mbenza on loan

Huddersfield Town have signed Belgium Under-21 international winger Isaac Mbenza on loan from French Ligue 1 Montpellier, the Premier League club said on Thursday.

Huddersfield's German central defender Michael Hefele has left the club to join Championship side Nottingham Forest. 

Atletico boost strike force by signing Kalinic from AC Milan

La Liga runners-up Atletico Madrid announced on Thursday they have signed Croatia striker Nikola Kalinic from AC Milan for an undisclosed fee, bolstering their already fearsome strikeforce of Antoine Griezmann and Diego Costa. "Our club has reached an agreement with AC Milan for Niko Kalinic," said a statement from Atletico.

Kalinic struck six goals in 20 starts in Serie A last season and is likely to be Atletico's third choice striker behind Costa and Griezmann.

The move is likely to lead to French striker Kevin Gameiro searching for a new club, with the Spanish media reporting this week that Valencia and Borussia Dortmund have made bids to sign him.

Kalinic, who has also played in England, Ukraine and his native Croatia as well as for Italian side Fiorentina, has been capped 41 times for Croatia and was named in the squad for the 2018 World Cup.

The striker was sent home by coach Zlatko Dalic, however, who said he had refused to come on as a substitute in the team’s opening game against Nigeria, meaning he missed out on the side's run to a first ever World Cup final.

Chelsea confirm Kovacic season-long loan deal

Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic has joined Chelsea on a season-long loan deal from Real Madrid, the Premier League club confirmed on Thursday.

Kovacic's arrival is part of the deal which saw Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois join Real on Wednesday on a six-year contract. Real will pay an initial 35 million euros ($40.6 million) for the Belgian goalkeeper, Spanish media reported.

The 24-year-old Kovacic was part of the Croatia team that reached last month's World Cup final but was used almost exclusively as a substitute at Real last season.

"I am really happy and excited to be here at Chelsea. It is an amazing feeling," Kovacic said on Chelsea's website.

"I will try to do my best for this club. It is a new league for me, the beginning is always tough but I am sure the coach and my new team mates will help me and I am looking forward to a great season."

West Ham sign striker Perez from Arsenal

West Ham United signed striker Lucas Perez from Arsenal on a three-year contract, both Premier League clubs confirmed on Thursday.

The 29-year-old is West Ham's seventh signing of the close season. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed, but local media said West Ham had paid about 4 million pounds ($5.16 million) for the Spaniard.

Perez joined Arsenal in August 2016 from Deportivo la Coruna but started just two Premier League games for the London club, making another nine appearances off the bench, before being loaned back to the Spanish side the following season.

"I'm very happy to be here at such an historic club," he said in a statement https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2018/august/09-august/west-ham-united-sign-striker-lucas-perez-arsenal on West Ham's website.

"I'm very excited, as West Ham are giving me the chance to stay in the Premier League and I'm very happy to be part of this new project."

Aussie teenager Arzani set for loan to Celtic after joining City

Australian teenager Daniel Arzani, who joined Manchester City from sister club Melbourne City on Thursday, was set for a loan move to Scottish champions Celtic.

The Iran-born 19-year-old was the youngest ever member of an Australia squad for a World Cup finals and played in all three of their group matches in Russia. 

Arzani -- who put down his talent to playing street football in his birthplace of Khorramabad -- follows another Australian Aaron Mooy, who moved from Melbourne City to Manchester City in 2016, and was immediately loaned to Huddersfield Town.

Batshuayi joins Valencia on loan from Chelsea

La Liga side Valencia have signed Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi on a one-season loan deal from Chelsea, the two teams said on Friday.

Batshuayi joined Chelsea in 2016 from Olympique de Marseille for a reported 33 million pounds ($42 million) and only struck five league goals in his first campaign, although he scored in a 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion which clinched the 2016/2017 Premier League title.

He struck 10 goals in all competitions in his second season with Chelsea but in January was loaned out to Borussia Dortmund, where he scored seven times in 10 Bundesliga appearances.

Valencia finished fourth in La Liga last season to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in three years, allowing Batshuayi to play in Europe's elite competition while Chelsea will be in the Europa League.

Batshuayi made three appearances at the 2018 World Cup. While celebrating Belgium's winning goal against England, he ended up being smacked hard in the face by the ball.

Chelsea defender Zouma joins Everton on season-long loan

Everton have signed French centre back Kurt Zouma on a season-long loan from Chelsea, the Premier League clubs announced on Friday.

The Merseyside club made a late move for the 23-year-old ahead of Thursday's 1600 GMT (5 pm BST) transfer deadline, and had to wait until Friday to learn if their bid was successful.

Zouma has made 71 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea before falling out of favour under former manager Antonio Conte, featuring in only nine league matches during the title winning 2016-17 campaign.

He spent last season at Stoke City and made 34 league appearances but could not prevent their relegation from the top-flight.

Zouma joins Brazil midfielder Bernard, Barcelona trio Yerry Mina, Andre Gomes and Lucas Digne, Richarlison and goalkeeper Joao Virginia in arriving at Goodison Park in the close season. 

Theo Hernandez joins Sociedad from Real Madrid on loan

Real Madrid have loaned French left back Theo Hernandez out to fellow La Liga side Real Sociedad for the upcoming season, the two clubs said on Friday.

"Real Sociedad have reached an agreement with Real Madrid for the loan of one season of Theo Hernandez. An agreement has also been reached with the player, who passed a medical examination this morning," said a statement from Sociedad, who finished 12th in Spain's top flight last season.

The younger brother of France World Cup winner Lucas Hernandez, Theo, 20, became the first player in 17 years to cross the divide from Atletico to city rivals Real Madrid last year following an impressive spell on loan at Alaves.

He made 23 appearances in all competitions last season for Madrid following his 30-million-euro ($34.4 million) move. However, he rarely hit the form he frequently displayed at Alaves and was always behind influential left back Marcelo in the pecking order for the biggest games.
