Football transfer rumours: Manchester City to sign Mitoma?

Manchester City are still a few players short of a full squad and could be tempted into the market. One player who would make an interesting acquisition is Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma. The Japan international had a fine last season on the south coast, which made plenty of people take notice of his talents. The Seagulls, however, might not be too keen on losing him and Moisés Caicedo before the window closes, with Chelsea eager to snap up the Ecuadorian.

Al-Ittihad will target Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah with a massive bid and bucket load of cash in wages. The Saudi Pro League club are willing to offer £51m to sign the Egyptian and pay him £155m across a two-year deal, although Salah’s agent has poured freezing cold water on any prospective deal.
