Coventry closing in on deal for Pinnock
Katie Stafford
BBC Sport Journalist
BBC Sport understands Coventry City are closing in on a deal for Brentford centre-back Ethan Pinnock.
The 33-year-old Jamaica international, who joined from Barnsley in 2019, is in the final year of his contract with the Bees.
He has made a total of 216 appearances for the West London club, scoring 12 times.
Pinnock played a vital role in Brentford's promotion to the Premier League but has since lost his place in their starting XI, featuring just eight times last season.
He would be the Sky Blues' ninth signing of the summer and second defensive reinforcement following the arrival of Aurele Amenda from Eintracht Frankfurt in July.
Football agent predicts 'a lot of movement' before window slams shut
Jordan Kenny
BBC Newsbeat presenter
So what does football agent Alex Levack think is going to happen in the last week of the window? And more importantly, how does he cope with it all?
He predicts Liverpool, Man City and Spurs will all do "more business" and thinks "there will still be a lot of movement".
"There will be a lot of conversations that may have been had earlier in the window," he tells BBC Newsbeat.
"And as we get closer to that deadline people either come down on their valuations or clubs might think we really need this player so we will pay that level of transfer fee.
Levack describes it as "squeaky bum time" and a bit like a "game of chess" waiting to see who will blink first.
"Itâs mad, it's literally the phones are going all the time, it's moving parts," he says.
"What I always liken it to is a chain in a house buying process.
"Once a player moves it just opens up and itâs a massive domino effect and it just goes crazy."
'Drama wise, it's great for the neutral' - the football agent's perspective
Jordan Kenny
BBC Newsbeat presenter
With the futures of Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta still up in the air, BBC Newsbeat's got the agent's perspective on this summer's transfer window.
Alex Levack, who's been an agent for 26 years and represents Arsenal defender Ben White, agrees "there's definitely been a lot more drama".
"In more recent years Premier league clubs have been a lot more open to trading with other Premier League clubs which I think has been quite apparent in this window," he says.
"Drama wise, itâs great for the neutral."
Levack says the Watkins' one is "a real tough situation for both parties" because moves to Saudi Arabia "can be generational, or two generations worth of wealth".
"Whenever we sit down with clients we always ask them whatâs your end game," he says.
"Some will say 'I want to win titles, I want to play in a top five league, I want to play internationally'.
"Some will say 'I want to make as much money as I can'.
"I donât think you can knock people because ultimately this is their jobs."
Villa in talks with Club Brugge for defender Ordonez
Sami Mokbel
BBC Sport senior football correspondent
Aston Villa are working to sign Club Brugge central defender Joel Ordonez after failing to agree a deal with Southampton for Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
The Premier League side, who sold England defender Ezri Konsa to Arsenal last week, are accelerating their interest in Ordonez, with discussions ongoing and his Belgian Pro League club wanting a minimum £40m fee for the Ecuador international.
The 22-year-old centre-back, who played for his country at this summer's World Cup, has made 124 appearances for Club Brugge since joining in 2022 from Independiente del Valle.
Villa had targeted Harwood-Bellis, but there is understood to be a significant gap in valuation between them and Southampton after an offer worth £18m was rejected.
It remains to be seen whether a transfer for the 24-year-old can still be revived but, as things stand, Unai Emery's side have moved on to other targets.
Could the Watkins saga drag on?
Nick Mashiter
BBC Sport football news reporter
Tim, Hull: I understand that the Saudi transfer window is open until 23 Sept so the possible Ollie Watkins transfer may unfortunately continue into the international break. Hopefully, Villa retain their best-ever striker for another season (or at least til January)
Hi Tim, yes, the Saudi window does not close until 23 September, so there is a possibility it will drag on.
It may also involve Emi Martinez should he and Villa fail to find a domestic solution away from Villa Park before the end of the Premier League deadline on 1 September.
The window for Turkey closes on 4 September and there was interest from Fenerbahce for Watkins this summer, although any move to the Super Lig has been unlikely for a while.
Those who watch Villa regularly know Ollie Watkins' importance to the side and, should he go, then his value and significance at Villa will only grow in his absence.
Unai Emery wants the window closed before the start of the season, but that would still not stop clubs from Saudi, or elsewhere, raiding Premier League clubs if they do not fall into the same deadline, so it would not stop the uncertainty.
Forest determined to keep Williams
Sami Mokbel
BBC Sport senior football correspondent
Nottingham Forest are determined to keep full-back Neco Williams this summer amid late interest from Tottenham.
Having sold defender Djed Spence to Inter Milan, Spurs are open to signing a replacement with Williams believed to be among the names internally considered by the London club.
Tottenham's interest in Williams remains at an exploratory stage, however the London club will run into difficulty if they decide to accelerate a move for the 25-year-old before the end of the transfer window.
Sources close to Forest insist the City Ground club will not consider selling the Wales international this summer.
Williams proved a crucial player for Forest last season and is expected to play a key role for new manager Oliver Glasner.
Forest remain in talks with the former Liverpool defender over a new contract and it is their intention to extend his current deal to reflect his importance to the squad.
Williams' current deal expires in the summer of 2029.
It now remains to be seen whether Forest change their stance before the end of the window.
Intriguingly, Glasner has an interest in Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall which poses a potential discussion point between the two Premier League sides but Roberto De Zerbi has insisted the Swede is staying in London.
It is understood Tottenham manager De Zerbi would prefer any Spence replacement to have Premier League experience.
'Will Baleba cope with the higher pressure?'
Here are some of your views on Manchester United's pursuit of Brighton's Carlos Balena, having attempted to sign him last summer:
Dave: That's the last-minute decision! I know it has been talked about for a year or so, but in that year he has been non-existent. It seems a bad choice to me. Myles Lewis-Skelly surely outshines Baleba in all aspects football-related and money-related? And, more importantly, he is fit. Baleba is an Andrey Santos inferior and he is more expensive.
Howard: I'm happy with this. We need some strength in midfield and he can provide that. Also, he wants Manchester United which is great. We shouldn't pay too much attention to his poor season last time out, he was unsettled and he will be good for us. Let's hope this happens, we need a good strong defensive midfielder like him.
Thomas: There are far more talented players that have failed at United, and far worse ones that have excelled. We need players with elite mentalities. If he has that, then he has my full support.
Mark: My biggest concern over Baleba is whether he will cope with the higher pressure at United. His form fell off last season - if it was because the move fell through then it would be a concern over his mental strength, if not it is a question over why it happened and whether he can regain that form.
Coops: I'm absolutely baffled by this one. Another bang average midfielder when we desperately need a defensive rebuild. Maxence Lacroix, Ezri Konsa, Jan Paul van Hecke all gone to our rivals. A bad transfer window, despite all the promises, again!
Man Utd agree £70m fee for Brighton's Baleba
Simon Stone
BBC Sport Chief Football News Reporter
Manchester United have agreed a fee of up to £70m for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba.
The two clubs reached a breakthrough in negotiations on Friday evening, which left the 22-year-old free to complete his medical with the Old Trafford outfit this weekend.
United targeted the Cameroon international this week after deciding to strengthen their midfield further following the earlier arrivals of Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa.
They will pay an initial £65m, plus a potential £5m in add-ons, while the Seagulls have also negotiated a sell-on clause.
Baleba, who joined Brighton from Lille in 2023, is currently sidelined with an ankle injury he picked up during their pre-season training camp in Austria.
Once the deal goes through, it will take United's summer spending up to £153m.
However, it is also a huge saving on what Brighton were demanding as the 2025 transfer deadline approached.
Man City agree deal for Palmeiras winger Allan
Shamoon Hafez
Football reporter
Manchester City have agreed to sign winger Allan Elias from Palmeiras in a deal worth up to £34.2m.
The 22-year-old Brazilian will come in as a replacement for compatriot Savinho, who looks set to join Tottenham.
City are set to pay a fixed fee of £32m, plus £2.2m in add-ons, and a medical is scheduled to take place in the coming days.
They remain in advanced talks to sell Egypt forward Omar Marmoush to Spurs, and sources with knowledge of the situation say there is a "good chance" the deal gets completed before the 1 September transfer deadline.
Discussions are ongoing between the two clubs and there are some details yet to be agreed.
Midfielder Nico Gonzalez may also depart Etihad Stadium before the end of the transfer window, with strong interest in the Spaniard from Newcastle.
Watkins to Man Utd?
Simon Stone
BBC Sport Chief Football News Reporter
Adrian, Somerset: Is it too late for Manchester United to make a move for Ollie Watkins? I think he would be perfect.
It has felt for a couple of seasons Manchester United could do with an experienced back-up striker to a younger first choice.
Ollie Watkins has previously been mentioned in United circles but Iâm not sure it would happen this summer.
It seems a combination of Marcus Rashford not moving as anticipated and Manuel Ugarte's injury blocking a likely summer exit are forcing United to think seriously about their transfer strategy.
If Joshua Zirkzee leaves for Italy, I think it would come down to a choice between a left-back and a forward. The former would seem more obvious.
Who is Bouaddi?
Ayyoub Bouaddi impressed at this summer's World Cup - starting five of Morocco's six matches in their run to the quarter-finals - after a starring role in Lille's Champions League victory over Real Madrid in 2024 announced him on the big stage.
He functions as a deep-lying conductor and would complement Elliot Anderson, who is comfortable as a box-to-box midfielder as well as the number six role he plays for England.
Making his debut in October 2023 - three days after his 16th birthday - Bouaddi has played 88 times for Lille and helped them finish third in Ligue 1 last season.
He broke a record held by Eden Hazard after making 50 league appearances for Lille at the age of just 18.
Man City agree £86m deal for teen midfielder Bouaddi
Sami Mokbel
BBC Sport Senior football correspondent
Manchester City have agreed a deal in principle worth 100m euros (£85.6m) to sign 18-year-old Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi.
BBC Sport reported earlier this week that the two clubs were in advanced talks over a deal for the Morocco international to join City.
An agreement for the teenager to join Enzo Maresca's side is now in place, with Bouaddi now set to complete his protracted move to England with Lille accepting an initial fee of £81.4m, plus £4.2m in add-ons.
Having sold midfielders Rodri to Barcelona in a £65m deal and Tijjani Reinders to Saudi Arabian side Al-Qadsiah for £52m, City have prioritised central midfield as an area to strengthen.
They remain interested in Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez but it remains to be seen whether a deal can be struck.
They have already added England's Elliot Anderson for £116m from Nottingham Forest.
Plymouth Argyle have signed Leyton Orient midfielder Tyreeq Bakinson and Tottenham Hotspur forward Oliver Irow on season-long loans.
Bakinson rejoins the Pilgrims six years after he first played for the club under Ryan Lowe during the 2019-20 League Two promotion-winning campaign.
The 27-year-old has gone on to play for Sheffield Wednesday, Wycombe Wanderers, Charlton Athletic and Orient, where he featured 43 times last season.
Irow, 20, came through the Spurs youth set-up and spent the second half of last season on loan at Mansfield Town, where he played 18 times and scored four goals.
Plymouth boss Tom Cleverley described Bakinson as someone who could "do a bit of everything" in midfield.
"He is tall, physical, reads the game well and is clean on the ball," he told BBC Radio Devon. "I'm looking forward to working with him."
Speaking about Irow, Cleverley said the forward as being able to play in a variety of positions.
"He's a young winger who can play off the left, or the right, and down the middle as well. So, he is versatile and gives us options."
The double signing comes just days after Plymouth sold midfielder Brendan Wiredu to Salford.
Cleverley confirmed both players would be available for the EFL Cup second-round tie against Coventry City on Tuesday.
'I don't understand what happens when they put on a Spurs shirt'
'I don't understand what happens when they put on a Spurs shirt'

Former Premier League striker Charlie Austin doesn't believe Roberto de Zerbi has a single player in his squad who would "put the scares up you" this season.
Tottenham, who have spent in the region of £237m this summer, fell to a shock 3-0 defeat against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, despite four of their statement summer signings being named in their starting XI.
"There were problems all over the pitch," Austin said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily. "They just looked like the same old Tottenham.
"As much as they have spent the money, I just don't see the return from it. They don't strike fear into teams any more. Put it this way: teams want to play against Tottenham to win.
"You feared playing Tottenham years ago because they had Harry Kane down the middle, now I would ask you to find me someone who is going to put the scares up you. There's nobody that does that.
"People say they don't have a leader, but they have Andy Robertson at left-back who has won every trophy there is going, so there are leaders in that team.
"You also have Sandro Tonali, who didn't score any goals for Newcastle United last season. I'm all for paying £100m for a player if they got 15 or more goals and assists from central midfield, but he didn't.
"I've said for the past two years that you can never replace Harry Kane, but what you can try to do is try to put someone down the middle who is going to put the ball in the back of the net - and Richarlison is not that person."

Roberto De Zerbi may have spent close to £400m by the time his Tottenham Hotspur rebuild is complete â but it took just his side's first Premier League game of the season to prove all the money in the world is no guaranteed cure for a losing mentality.
De Zerbi, by his own admission, confirmed his role was more psychologist than coach when he was given seven games to keep Spurs in the top-flight following his appointment in March.
He achieved that feat, but only just as Spurs survived with victory against Everton on the final day.
The Italian has been handed vast funds for a host of new players to ensure Spurs do not suffer a repeat of the nightmare campaign.
This dreadful defeat was not the start he or the Spurs power brokers envisaged.
For all the change in transfer strategy and personnel, the manner in which Spurs capitulated at the first sign of pressure as they were run ragged by Brentford provided gruesome evidence that you need more than a huge transfer fund to give a team mental strength.
De Zerbi may feel he has addressed some of the ills in a squad that has finished 17th in the Premier League two seasons in succession. However, he will have to turn psychologist once more as the new Spurs looked like the old Spurs as they were dismantled in the west London sunshine.
He pointed to a lack of physical conditioning of players who had been at the World Cup or were newcomers, but this did not excuse the lack of basics, shortage of resilience and the fact Brentford were so superior in every area.
De Zerbi told BBC Sport's Match of the Day: "Bad game. We lost and suffered the difference in the duels. It was the key of this game. We didn't fight in the right way. Maybe credit to them because it's the best quality Brentford have.
"Our physical condition was not in the right level for all players because many came later after the World Cup and there were many new players in the squad and first XI. But we have to analyse this game better because we can't play this way in this type of game."
The day started with Spurs fans bursting with optimism in one corner of The Gtech Community Stadium, welcoming their new recruits raucously. It ended with those same players applauding a large swathe of empty seats, some vacating as early as the 49th minute when Michael Kayode put The Bees 3-0 up.
It could have been even worse had the normally reliable Igor Thiago not struck the post with a penalty, but that was no consolation for Spurs or De Zerbi on what was a chastening day.
Rock superstar Jon Bon Jovi was an interested spectator at The Gtech Stadium - and Spurs gave him enough material for several albums worth of sad power ballads as they started badly and went into rapid decline.
De Zerbi gave debuts to four of his new acquisitions in Andrew Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke and Sandro Tonali. They will feel the only way is up because they were at rock bottom here. None of them distinguished themselves, although neither did any others.
Italian midfielder Tonali cost £100m from Newcastle United, but was utterly outshone and overpowered by Brentford's record buy Mamadou Sangare, who was the game's outstanding performer.
Tonali's only memorable contribution was a first-half attempt on goal that flew horribly skywards, prompting the inevitable suggestion from Brentford supporters that Spurs had wasted their money.
Matheus Fernades, at £85m from West Ham United, came on as a substitute, while Savinho and possibly Omar Marmoush will add strength, but it was the lack of heart and fight that will be De Zerbi's biggest concern.
From the first minute, Spurs' brave new world hauntingly resembled the old one as they cracked under the first sign of pressure, Brentford sensing their weakness as they hunted down a side they clearly felt could be exposed.
And how Spurs were exposed.
Brentford should have been ahead before Keane Lewis-Potter broke the deadlock after 12 minutes, the contest effectively over when Vitaly Janelt doubled their lead before half-time.
De Zerbi cut a frustrated, animated figure as he tried to enliven Spurs, but heads were down, physical challenges lost, desperation their trademark, with not the slightest indication of any self-belief that they might recover the situation.
Conor Gallagher and Lucas Bergvall did not return after the half-time interval, although they might justifiably point out others could have accompanied them.
De Zerbi somehow needs to get into the heads of these Spurs players to give them strength and steel. That is not something that can be achieved with a wave of the chequebook.
For context, this is Spurs' first game of the Premier League season and many teams with aspiration and ambition have had nightmare starts.
This, however, looked like the worrying continuation of a pattern of defeat and despair.
That pattern has cast a cloud over Spurs' recent seasons, along with De Zerbi's predecessors Ange Postecoglou, who at least won the Europa League, then Thomas Frank and â in his "blink and you'll miss it" reign â Igor Tudor.
De Zerbi added: "I am surprised for the result and performance. I knew we were not in the right condition. We can't find an excuse. I am sorry for the result and performance. We are starting a new project and we couldn't find the principle.
"Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke and Sandro Tonali are not in the best physical condition. We knew that before the game. We have to improve on that and many other things like organisation and pressing."
More signings may be on the way, but De Zerbi said: "I don't want the excuse that the first XI was not enough to compete and get a result. Brentford's spirit on the pitch was great, it has to be the right example for us."
New faces are all very well, but this loss showed Spurs problems run deeper than fresh personnel. De Zerbi must banish the ghosts of two seasons littered with losses. And quickly.
He must not change his squad. He must change a culture in which defeats like this have become commonplace.
