It’s that time of the year again – the transfer window is now open until September 1 and it’s sure to be a busy period with clubs looking to make big signings ahead of next season.
Here are today’s latest developments from Simon Jones and the Daily Mail Sport team…
Magpies swoop for £30m star
Newcastle United have agreed a deal to sign Monaco defensive midfielder Aladji Bamba.
The 20-year-old is due on Tyneside this morning for his medical after a fee around £30million was negotiated between the clubs.
The deal also includes a 15 per cent sell on clause for the France U20 international.
Bamba only made his breakthrough last season and has played just 18 league games but is highly regarded after his development through the France youth ranks.
