Chelsea have accepted Man Utd's £37m bid for Juan Mata. He's expected to arrive in Manchester for a medical and an unveiling at some point today. Hardly the types to put the cash aside for a rainy day, the Blues will instead splash some of it on Ross Barkley and the rest on Real Sociedad winger Antoine Griezmann, who's French, and 22.

This sudden outpouring of ambition has also made Wayne Rooney reconsider his position. Instead of doing one this summer he might just sign a new contract. Never that simple though is it? Same with swap deals, but regardless, Javier Hernandez for Inter's Fredy Guarin apparently. Guarin was off to Juve in exchange for Mirko Vucinic at one point, but that fell through, and Arsenal have asked to be kept informed of the Old Lady's striker's situation. Got all that?

Lacina Traore's loan move to Everton is looking unlikely. Radmael Falcao's gone and injured himself, leaving Monaco awful short of strikers.

Liverpool have agreed a £10m fee with Basel for winger Mohamed Salah, so that one might be over soon.

And Joleon Lescott's not going anywhere, not until Man City have found a replacement. Porto's Eliaquim Mangala and Dante of Bayern Munich and Man-Utd-interest fame being the most likely candidates.

A helicopter carrying Juan Mata (Matacopter?) landed at Man Utd's training ground not so long ago.

And it looks like Chelsea will beat Liverpool to the signing of Mohamed Salah. It's like Will.I.An all over again, the scamps.
