TRANSFER GOSSIP: Chelsea hold talks to sign Arsenal star Folarin Balogun, Fiorentina say they have not had a bid from Man United for Sofyan Amrabat and Everton edge closer to a new striker

It's been a very busy week in the transfer market with Chelsea making headlines to finally end their pursuit of Moises Caicedo, securing the Ecuadorian for a British record transfer fee while also yesterday sealing a deal for Romeo Lavia.

In rather dramatic circumstances, both deals saw Mauricio Pochettino's side snatch Caicedo and Lavia away from Liverpool, who had been heavily interested in signing both players.

The signings will take the Blues' spending under new owner Todd Boehly to just shy of £1billion pounds, with the former Brighton star Caicedo signing for an eye-watering £115million, having only joined the Seagulls last year for £4.
