Edinson Cavani: Manchester United's Signing's Debut Set To Be Delayed
~1.7 mins read
New Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani's debut is likely to be delayed by Covid-19 regulations.



The Uruguayan, who joined United on Monday, left Paris St-Germain in June and has not been part of an elite athlete bubble.



It means Cavani, 33, has had to enter into a period of self-isolation following his arrival from France on Sunday, which should last 14 days.



United's next game is away to Newcastle in the Premier League on 17 October.



It hampers United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who will also be without the suspended Anthony Martial for the trip to St James' Park.



Cavani is unable to train with his new team-mates until the situation is resolved and he could also miss the Champions League tie away to PSG on 20 October because of a lack of training.



England striker Harry Kane had to self-isolate for 14 days after returning home from a holiday in Barbados in August.

Why Thomas Partey's Move From Atletico Madrid To Arsenal Got Messy
~4.9 mins read
As soon as Thomas Partey was confirmed as an Arsenal player late on transfer deadline day, the blame campaign began.

Atletico Madrid were upset because they claim the Premier League club did not make a courtesy call to let them know they were willing to pay the Ghana midfielder's 50m euros (£45m) buyout clause.

The Gunners had wanted to negotiate a fee for the 27-year-old throughout the window but Atletico were unwilling to enter discussions, as they had no interest in accepting an offer for him.

It was not an obligation for Arsenal to get in touch on deadline day, of course, as all they had to do was deposit a cheque for that value in the offices of La Liga, which they did in the last hour of the transfer window on Monday.

Having recently been in discussions with them to agree a loan deal for Lucas Torreira, however, the Spanish club expected more of the Gunners, but they finally found out about it via La Liga once the deposit had been made.

In reality, they were well aware this had been more than just a possibility.

Why? Because the negotiations for a new contract with Partey had broken down a long time ago.

Atletico offered 3.5m euros net per year before the coronavirus pandemic, but that was rejected. And after football resumed the message from the club was that they could not afford even that.

The fact is that Partey felt he had been badly treated by Atletico. He was the worst-paid player in the squad, with a modest 1.8m euros net per year, and he felt he deserved more, considering that by the summer he had played at least 42 games over the previous three seasons.

Atletico are, in reality, more upset with him than they are with Arsenal.

The allegedly "irreparable" relationship with the English club will be forgotten once new business has to be done between the two parties.

But Atletico feel that after nine years in Madrid, five in the first team, it was unacceptable for Partey to arrange a medical in Madrid without telling his club and, basically, to leave without a proper send-off.

The player was advised that his departure was not going to be followed by a homage, so he resolved to do everything quietly. Plus, Atletico got 50m euros, which is more than welcome in a time of huge difficulties for them.

Atletico manager Diego Simeone will not forget, though.

He feels he has done a lot for the player, giving him the confidence he needed at a time when media and fans were unsure of what he could add to the team.

Partey has humbly accepted whatever advice Simeone has given him in the past and his coach has certainly improved the player.

In recent weeks, the message Simeone got from him was that he was going to stay.

But to understand why Partey told him that, I refer you back to the contractual situation and the suggestion that, however he left, he was not going to be seen as a hero. Quite the contrary.

Mesut Ozil Offers To Pay Gunnersaurus To Stay In Emirates
~0.7 mins read
Mesut Ozil has offered to reimburse Arsenal for the salary of Gunnersaurus if they give the mascot his job back.



A fundraising page has been set up for Jerry Quy, who has donned a dinosaur suit to play Arsenal's mascot for the last 27 years - following reports that his role had been deemed surplus to requirements with fans still unable to attend matches.



But Ozil has tweeted that he will pay the mascot's salary for as long as he is an Arsenal player.

Premier League Club's Splurged £1.24 Billion On Transfers This Summer.
~5.2 mins read
PREMIER LEAGUE clubs splashed £1.24billion on new signings this summer, in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.



The figure represents a £160m decrease from last season - but is still £70m more than was spent in the 2016 summer window.



Chelsea were the league's top spenders, splashing £226.1m on fresh talent, including Timo Werner (£45m), Hakim Ziyech (£37m), Edouard Mendy (£22m) and Ben Chilwell (£50m).



And their headline recruit Kai Havertz was the league's most expensive new acquisition - arriving from Bayer Leverkusen for £75.8m.



The Blues were able to splash the cash after being restricted by a transfer embargo last season - and by getting good fees for the likes of Alvaro Morata and Mario Pasalic.



Manchester City were unsurprisingly second biggest spenders, splashing cash on Nathan Ake (£41m) and Ferran Torres (£37m) early on in the window.



And Pep Guardiola's side responded to their shambolic 5-2 defeat against Leicester City by splurging a further £65m on defender Ruben Dias from Benfica.



Aston Villa responded to squandering over £100m in last season's market by this time spending another £85m - although signings like Ollie Watkins appear to have actually hit the ground running this time around.



And Leeds United wasted no time following their promotion back to the top flight, recruiting the likes of Rodrigo, Robin Koch and Diego Llorente - as well as Raphinha from Rennes on Deadline Day.



Wolves increased their Portuguese contingent even further by spending north of £70m on Fabio Silva and Nelson Semedo - in addition to signing Marcal and Ki-Jana Hoever.



Next up on the list are Liverpool, who spent £45m on Diogo Jota and £27m on Thiago Alcantara - as well as recruiting competition for Andrew Robertson in the form of Kostas Tsimikas,



Arsenal finally matched Thomas Partey's £45m release clause late on Deadline Day, after already signing Gabriel Magalhaes and Runar Alex Runarsson.



Everton spent £65m on fresh talent including the likes of Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure - while Tottenham parted with £62m to secure the permanent acquisitions of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Sergio Reguilon among others.



Manchester United finally added to their earlier signing Donny van de Beek on Deadline Day by bringing in fresh talent including Alex Telles - taking their overall spend to £54.4m - £1.4m more than Sheffield United, whose window was headlined by the signings of Aaron Ramsdale and Rhian Brewster.



Leicester City's main signing was Timothy Castagne as they splashed £51.5m overall, while Newcastle United spent £35m on Callum Wilson and Jamal Lewis.



Southampton took huge hits shipping out the likes of Guido Carrillo, Wesley Hoedt and Sofiane Boufal, but did manage to seal the permanent signings of Kyle Walker-Peters, Mohammed Salisu and Ibrahima Diallo.



Newly-promoted West Brom and Fulham spent £27.3m and £23m respectively - while Crystal Palace recruited exciting youngsters Eberechi Eze and Nathan Ferguson for around £20m.



West Ham also spent £20m, while Brighton parted with just £13.4m.



Burnley, meanwhile, hardly spent a penny, snapping up only Dale Stephens and Will Norris.
