According to Fichajes, his performances have attracted the attention of Manchester City and they are prepared to submit a 120 million offer in order to get the deal done. Pep Guardiola is an admirer of the Brazilian attacker but Chelsea will not want to lose him easily. He has a contract with them until 2033 and the Londoners are under no pressure to sell him.

Enzo Maresca, currently in charge of the team at Chelsea, worked as Pep Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City in their historic treble-winning 2022/23 season.

A surprise stat has emerged showing that Manchester City's new goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, a big summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain, actually looks like a major flop so far. The Italian shot-stopper was a world class performer at PSG, playing a key role in their Champions League success last season, particularly with so many match-winning saves in both legs of the semi-final win over Arsenal. Now Donnarumma is up against Arsenal in the Premier League with Man City, but he's not made a particularly convincing start.

If there is any sense of disappointment, it is only that they failed to beat Chelsea, whom they have become accustomed to getting the better of, despite having a man advantage from the 38th minute on Sunday. But really there shouldn't be any disappointment. Coming out of the international break, having conceded a late equaliser to Sunderland in their previous game, Arsenal looked potentially vulnerable.

Liverpool are set to table a 52.5m (60m euros) bid for Real Madrid's French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, 23. (Caughtoffside), external Everton will not entertain any offers for Senegal winger Iliman Ndiaye, 25, and have no intention of selling him to city rivals Liverpool. (Teamtalk), external Manchester City are considering triggering the 65m release clause in the contract of Bournemouth and Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo, 25, in January.

Tottenham fans turned on Guglielmo Vicario after the Spurs goalkeeper conceded two early goals in Saturday's Premier League home loss to Fulham. The visitors scored twice in the opening six minutes at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Kenney Tete and Harry Wilson finding the back of the net. The second goal came courtesy of a comically poor clearance from Vicario, who was out of position near the corner flag when Wilson scored.

Manchester City have a strong interest in Newcastle United full-back Tino Livramento, but could face competition from Arsenal and Manchester United for his signature. Newcastle don't want to sell Livramento, but clubs are expected to test the Magpies' resolve, either in January or next summer, as first reported here for the Daily Briefing.
