Sunderland in Talks Over Chemsdine Talbi Transfer
Chemsdine Talbi is the most immediate active Premier League transfer story. Sunderland are reported to be in discussions with Al-Ittihad over a possible move for the Morocco international.
Talbi joined Sunderland from Club Brugge in 2025 for a fee that could rise to approximately £19.5m. He made 26 Premier League appearances during his first season in England, scoring four goals.
The winger was not included in Sunderland’s Europa League squad, increasing speculation about his future. Al-Ittihad are believed to be the leading candidate, although Turkish clubs have also been credited with interest.
No final agreement or official announcement had been made at the time of publication. The negotiations were reported by Chronicle Live.
Status: 🟢 Strong. Direct talks have reportedly taken place, but Sunderland and Al-Ittihad must still agree the final terms before the transfer can be considered complete.
Richarlison’s Trabzonspor Transfer Falls Through
Richarlison will not join Trabzonspor after the Turkish transfer window closed without an agreement.
The Tottenham forward had been the subject of serious interest from the Turkish club. Personal terms were reportedly discussed, but the two clubs did not agree a fee before the deadline.
Richarlison remains under contract with Tottenham but was left out of the club’s Premier League squad for the first half of the season. Roberto De Zerbi has also confirmed that the Brazilian asked to explore a move away.
His possible destinations are now limited. Saudi Arabian and Portuguese clubs can still sign players because their registration periods extend beyond the English and Turkish deadlines. A return to Brazil is another theoretical option.
Tottenham could also consider negotiating a contract termination if no permanent transfer is found, although no such agreement has been confirmed.
The London Standard reported that Saudi Arabia may now represent Richarlison’s most realistic destination.
Status: 🟡 Developing. The Trabzonspor deal is over, but Richarlison’s Tottenham future remains unresolved. A new destination would require fresh interest rather than a revival of the Turkish negotiations.
Newcastle and Aston Villa Monitor Christian Kofane
Newcastle United and Aston Villa are reportedly monitoring Bayer Leverkusen forward Christian Kofane ahead of a possible January approach.
The 20-year-old is considered a developing attacking option rather than a player either club attempted to sign urgently before the summer deadline. There is currently no evidence of a formal offer or negotiations with Leverkusen.
Newcastle strengthened their attack by signing Matias Fernandez-Pardo, while Nick Woltemade left for Juventus on loan. Yoane Wissa’s strong start also reduces the immediate pressure to recruit another centre-forward.
Villa may have a clearer long-term need following Ollie Watkins’ departure. Their goalless start to the Premier League season could encourage the club to reassess its attacking options before January.
The Kofane link was included in the London Standard’s transfer coverage.
Status: ⚪ Early Interest. Kofane may remain on both clubs’ scouting lists, but there is no indication that a January transfer has already been negotiated.
Arsenal Continue to Assess Elite Forward Options
Arsenal ended the summer without signing Julián Álvarez despite spending much of the window assessing a move for the Atlético Madrid forward.
Álvarez remained in Spain after Arsenal failed to persuade him to return to the Premier League. Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona have since been linked with future approaches, which could make any renewed Arsenal move particularly difficult.
A late approach for Lautaro Martínez was also reported. Arsenal are said to have contacted the Inter Milan captain’s representatives after accepting that Álvarez would not be moving to north London.
The contact did not develop into a completed transfer, and there is no evidence that formal January negotiations are under way. Lautaro remains under a long-term contract with Inter and would command a substantial fee.
Arsenal’s attacking depth has been reduced by Gabriel Jesus joining Barcelona and Gabriel Martinelli moving to Al-Hilal. However, Mikel Arteta has defended the club’s summer business and may prefer to wait for the right opportunity instead of committing to another expensive deal.
Status: ⚪ Early Interest. Arsenal explored Lautaro’s situation, but he should not currently be described as the subject of an active transfer negotiation.
Chelsea Consider Their Next Midfield Move
Chelsea’s midfield changed significantly when Enzo Fernández completed his £125m transfer to Manchester City. The Blues attempted to secure a replacement before the deadline but were unable to complete another major deal.
A move for Lamine Camara collapsed after Monaco withdrew from negotiations. Chelsea were also reported to have reached a verbal understanding with Roma over Manu Koné, but the Italian club retained him after failing to find a replacement.
The complicated deadline-day chain also affected Everton’s proposed move for Folarin Balogun. The circumstances surrounding the failed negotiations were detailed by The Guardian.
Attention has now turned towards Atlético Madrid midfielder Pablo Barrios. Reports in Spain claim Chelsea could consider an offer in January, with Xabi Alonso looking for a midfielder capable of replacing some of Enzo’s technical influence.
Atlético are not actively looking to sell Barrios. His long-term contract and reported release clause give the Spanish club a strong negotiating position, making claims of an imminent agreement difficult to support.
Status: ⚪ Speculative. Chelsea’s need for another midfielder is credible, but Barrios remains one possible target rather than the subject of an advanced deal.
Could Michael Olise Become Liverpool’s Next Major Signing?
Liverpool continue to be linked with Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, who has been presented as a possible long-term successor to Mohamed Salah.
Bayern are reportedly planning to offer Olise an improved contract. Although his current agreement already runs until 2029, a new deal could include a release clause or provide the player with a significant salary increase.
Liverpool’s interest is understandable, but the club has just spent £123m on Bradley Barcola. The Frenchman made an encouraging Premier League debut against Ipswich, while Cody Gakpo also remains an established option on the left.
Signing Olise would therefore require another enormous investment and probably depends on Liverpool’s future attacking departures. Reports concerning Bayern’s contract plans and Liverpool’s interest were covered by Liverpool.com.
Status: ⚪ Speculative. Liverpool have been linked with Olise repeatedly, but there is no confirmed offer or indication that Bayern are prepared to sell.
Confirmed: Coventry Complete Delayed Yann Gboho Signing
Coventry City have completed the permanent signing of Yann Gboho from Toulouse.
The transfer was announced three days after the English deadline because an agreement had been reached before the window closed. The remaining process was delayed while the required documents and approval were completed.
Gboho has signed a long-term contract with Coventry and becomes Frank Lampard’s 12th addition of the summer. The winger recorded 19 goals and 12 assists across 89 appearances for Toulouse.
The deal was officially completed subject to UK visa approval, as reported in the confirmation of Gboho’s transfer.
Status: ✅ Confirmed. This was not a new negotiation conducted after the deadline; Coventry had already completed the essential agreement in time.
Confirmed: Gabriel Martinelli Joins Al-Hilal
The club can confirm that Gabriel Martinelli has joined Al-Hilal on a permanent deal.
— Arsenal (@Arsenal)
September 3, 2026
Gabriel Martinelli has joined Al-Hilal after seven years with Arsenal. The Saudi club confirmed that the Brazilian signed a four-year contract, with the transfer reportedly worth £60m.
Al-Hilal’s official announcement confirmed the contract length and reviewed Martinelli’s record for Arsenal and Brazil.
Martinelli made 278 appearances and scored 62 goals for Arsenal after arriving from Ituano in 2019. His departure follows Gabriel Jesus’ move to Barcelona and leaves Arsenal with fewer established wide attacking options.
The transfer was possible because the Saudi registration period remained open after Premier League clubs could no longer buy contracted players. Reuters also reported the completion of the move.
Status: ✅ Confirmed. Arsenal and Al-Hilal have both announced the permanent transfer.
Transfer Deals That Have Now Ended
- ❌ Richarlison to Trabzonspor: The Turkish deadline passed without an agreement between the clubs.
- ❌ Julián Álvarez to Arsenal: The forward remained at Atlético Madrid.
- ❌ Lamine Camara to Chelsea: Monaco withdrew despite the clubs discussing a deal.
- ❌ James Garner to Chelsea: Everton reportedly rejected a late bid.
- ❌ Manu Koné to Chelsea: Roma retained the midfielder after failing to secure a replacement.
- ❌ Folarin Balogun to Everton: The proposed transfer collapsed before completion.
- ❌ Richarlison to Everton: The Tottenham forward did not complete his proposed return.
Some of these players could be linked with moves again in January, but previous negotiations should not automatically be described as active deals.
Can Premier League Players Still Be Transferred?
The Premier League confirmed that the summer 2026 window closed at 23:00 BST on 1 September. Its clubs can no longer sign contracted players from other clubs until the January window opens.
Players can still leave Premier League clubs for leagues whose registration periods remain open. Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and several other countries operate different deadlines.
Unattached players may also be signed after the deadline, subject to registration rules and space in the club’s submitted squad. Deals agreed before the deadline can sometimes be announced later when the required documentation was submitted in time.
