With the transfer deadline looming, Premier League sides are making their final moves as the clock ticks down to September 1st.

The Daily Star reports that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp would be “furious” if the move went ahead.

The Daily Mirror reports Manchester United are keen to nab a midfielder before the transfer window closes, with Sofyan Amrabat (27), their prime target. The Daily Mail reports Fiorentina have turned down a £1.7 million loan deal but would consider a deal with an obligation to buy.
