Chelsea close to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang transfer from Barcelona, Watford won’t sell Ismaila Sarr – Paper Round
Chelsea close to Auba deal
Paper Round’s view: You cannot help but question Chelsea’s summer strategy, given they shipped Romelu Lukaku away on loan but have been slow in finding a replacement, and you also have to wonder if a decent set of results would have convinced Tuchel that Raheem Sterling’s arrival was enough. That hasn’t been the case, of course, and a good old No 9 should help the cause so long as there are no fallouts.

No selling Sarr
Paper Round’s view: It looked as though Villa would get a little lift after a below-par start to the season, but it’s back to the drawing board for them, while you have to marvel at Watford’s willingness to hold onto Sarr. Having spent £27m on him three years ago mind, £25m may not have felt enough, so there’s always time for a bigger bid before the window closes.

Watford want £30m for Pedro
Paper Round’s view: Perhaps that explains Watford’s reluctance to sell Sarr, as they are arguably more confident of getting more money up front from Newcastle for Pedro. If they don’t need to sell both, no point.
