Celtic have confirmed the signing of Patrick Roberts on a season-long loan from Manchester City. 

Roberts starred for Brendan Rodgers' side last season and will now link back up with the Scottish champions after Celtic fought off competition from Southampton, Huddersfield and Nice to secure his signature. 

He was earlier pictured leaving Celtic Park after completing his medical.

SIMON JONES: Chelsea are ready to keep hold of left-back Baba Rahman.

The 23-year-old Ghana international was poised to join Schalke on loan again but Chelsea have opted against it as they don't want to rush his recovery from knee ligament damage.

Rahman, who cost Chelsea £22million from Augsburg in 2015, injured his anterior cruciate ligament in the Africa Cup of Nations against Uganda, though is close to full fitness.

However, Antonio Conte, with few wing-back options left, has decided to ease him back into action at Chelsea with the club's Under-23 squad and evaluate his progress.

SIMON JONES: Newcastle United have asked about Udinese goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis.

The 32-year-old is available but like most of Newcastle's targets, Udinese want to sell rather than loan.

Rafa Benitez is willing to offload Tim Krul and Karl Darlow to help fund a goalkeeper signing. Krul has been mentioned as a makeweight in a deal for Jeroen Zoet from PSV Eindhoven, while Crystal Palace keeper Wayne Hennessey, Paris St Germain target Pepe Reina and Adrian at West Ham have also been discussed.

SIMON JONES: Leicester City are considering PSG midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak as a replacement for Chelsea- target Danny Drinkwater.

The Poland international is surplus to requirements at PSG as they look to offload a number of players to ease their Financial Fair Play requirements following the arrival of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

SIMON JONES: Crystal Palace are nearing a £25million agreement with Liverpool for the transfer of Mamadou Sakho.

The France international defender, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Selhurst Park, helping them stay in the Premier League, is surplus to requirements at Anfield.

But Palace are now close to ending the saga over Sakho's future, which has been ongoing since last summer. 

Chelsea starlet Jeremie Boga has become the next player to leave the club on loan, join Championship side Birmingham.

The 20-year-old, who started the club's first game of the season against Burnley, moved to St Andrews after signing a new three-year contract at Stamford Bridge.

Boga has previously headed out for loan spells in Spain and his native France, but will now get a taste of regular football in England.

SIMON JONES: Celtic are expected to announce the re-signing of Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts later on Monday after the player was pictured leaving the club following a successful medical. 

Robertd was a picture of happiness as he was spotted driving off following a day at the the Scottish champions' ground completing his medical and finalising his return in a season-long loan deal  

The Hoops' boss Brendan Rodgers has been vigourously chasing the 20-year-old, who was also a summer target for Southampton, Huddersfield and free-spending Nice. 

Ajax have completed the signing of Newcastle United's Siem de Jong, three years after he quit the Dutch giants for the North East.

Sportsmail reported last week that the two clubs were in talks over a £4million deal after De Jong turned down a move to Reading, and it has now been confirmed.

Ajax tweeted a 'welcome back' video to celebrate the 28-year-old's return, as he signs a new three-year contract with his old side.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is ready to discuss personal terms with Chelsea after they agreed a fee with Arsenal.

The England international is expected to undergo parts of his medical at St George's Park ahead of a proposed £35million switch. 

Liverpool held an interest also but are pursuing a bid for Monaco's Thomas Lemar.

The England international held crunch talks with the Gunners last week but rejected a final contract offer worth £180,000-a-week and made his intentions to leave clear.

As well as doing a deal to sign Naby Keita next season, Liverpool remain keen to land Thomas Lemar this summer.

But the Reds, who had offered up to £74m for the 21-year-old, could face late competition from Chelsea and Arsenal.

If you're not sure why Lemar is valued so highly, watch this...

Atletico Madrid stars are still hoping to see Chelsea striker Diego Costa return to the club before Thursday's transfer deadline.

That's according to Atletico midfielder Koke.

Costa is running out of time to seal an anticipated move away from Stamford Bridge despite refusing to return to training after a spectacular fall-out with Antonio Conte earlier this summer.

This is, without doubt, the biggest piece of transfer news today.

Liverpool have been chasing Naby Keita all summer and, after failing with two bids, they have finally reached an agreement.

Mohamed Salah became Liverpool's most expensive signing in June when the Reds shelled out £39m, but the club's transfer record will be smashed again.

Liverpool have agreed a club-record deal to sign Naby Keita from RB Leipzig.

The 22-year-old will stay with the German club for one final season, before joining the Reds next summer.

New signing Ousmane Dembele has been paraded in front of Barcelona fans.

The 20-year-old, who is now the second most expensive footballer of all time, did some keepy-uppies in front of supporters and plenty of cameras.

He fared slightly better than Paulinho, who fluffed his attempt at ball juggling after joining Barca earlier this month.

Chelsea starlet Jeremie Boga is set to become the next player to leave the club on loan as he prepares to join Birmingham.

The 20-year-old, who started the club's first game of the season against Burnley, is poised to for a season-long switch to the Championship club.

Boga has previously headed out for loan spells in Spain and his native France, but will now get a taste of regular football in England.

Chelsea had a 2-0 win over Everton to celebrate on Sunday but Antonio Conte was not fully contented.

After the match, he practically begged the Chelsea board for more signings.

He said: 'I'm a coach, not a manager. I think the best of my work is on the pitch, then when you want to strengthen your squad, you have to give your opinion, then the club goes into the transfer market to try and sort the situation. To try and help us.'

One of Sunday's big talking points (before Arsenal's awfulness took centre stage) was Jurgen Klopp's decision to 'rest' Simon Mignolet.

The Belgian stopper was left out of the Reds squad at Anfield, leading many to think that Klopp might consider replacing him in the transfer market.

But Klopp has insisted that Mignolet remains his fist choice and that he is happy with him.

'Intensity for a goalkeeper is different,' said Klopp. 'It is not physical. It is mental. We said before the season we wanted to have three really strong ones. Simon is a clear number one.

'He won the race in pre-season. You can always rely on him. He is solid – a machine; 100 per cent he plays against City.'

Another player pencilled in for a medical today is Tottenham defender Kevin Wimmer, who is heading to Stoke.
