Crystal Palace center-back Marc Guéhi is one of the most sought-after center-backs in Europe and nearly moved to Liverpool during the summer transfer window. Now, Bayern Munich could be among the clubs looking to swoop in and take advantage of Liverpool's inability to get the deal done:

Nicolas Jackson is determined to work with Vincent Kompany. The Belgian first tried to sign him while he was still managing Anderlecht, and Jackson is determined to finally work with him.

"Transfers are only finalized once the signatures are in place. He [Jackson] is there, and then we'll see. We'll take a closer look at it after the game and act accordingly. It's easy to understand: You negotiate, you reach an agreement, then comes the medical check, and extraordinary things still happen. I can't say what's going on now,"

A single hamstring injury in the 14th minute of a Premier League game and poof, there goes the £69.2million package you agreed with Bayern Munich for Nicolas Jackson. There goes the private flight that was paid for. It was a waste, another one is required for the return. There go all those hours that went into negotiating a £12.9m loan fee with a £56.3m option, not forgetting the sell-on clause that Chelsea would have retained.

The Frenchman is currently in top form. Thomas Müller already predicted in a conversation with me that the winger would become an absolute leader at FC Bayern! Of course, other top European clubs have also noticed this. PSG are interested in Olise, and as a Frenchman, he would fit perfectly into the Ligue 1 outfit's philosophy. But in England, too, there is annoyance that the player was not kept in the Premier League.

Chelsea and Aston Villa could reportedly be likely to hold some discussions over a deal involving both Nicolas Jackson and Morgan Rogers. Jackson has clearly fallen down the pecking order in Enzo Maresca's side after some unconvincing form during his two years at Stamford Bridge. With Chelsea now bringing in Joao Pedro and Liam Delap for this season, we're surely set to see Jackson leave before the end of the window.
