With deadline day upon us, several clubs up and down the country are trying to complete deals that they believe (or desperately hope) will transform their respective seasons.
Although no major moves are being tipped on Monday, surprises can happen, so it's worth staying engaged right until the very moment.
In today's roundup, we have some major news out of Liverpool as they plan for the future, while there is also a report coming out of Chelsea that is unlikely to go down well with supporters.
For all that and more, read on.

Liverpool agree early deal for Jeremy Jacquet
Liverpool have reached an agreement with Rennes for their highly rated defender, Jeremy Jacquet.
According to the reliable David Ornstein, the Red have secured an agreement that will run until 2031 and that the young Frenchman will travel over to England on Monday for a medical.
The deal won't officially go through until the summer and is said to be worth around £60m, a price Liverpool will be very happy with considering the reported clamour for Jacquet's signature.
The France U21 international is expected to be part of a wider rebuild of the Liverpool defence, with Ibrahima Konate expected to move on in the summer and Virgil van Dijk past his best.
Chelsea prepare controversial Strasbourg switch
Chelsea are in the midst of completing another controversial player switch with Strasbourg, which is unlikely to go down well with fans of the French club.
Highly-rated defender Mamadou Sarr is being tipped to make an early return from his loan spell in France, but to soften the blow, they have sent Aaron Anselmino to the French side until the end of the season, cutting short his temporary spell at Borussia Dortmund in the process.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Anselmino initially resisted the move but was ultimately convinced by the powers-that-be at BlueCo.
Sarr is one of the most highly rated defenders in Ligue 1, and his departure will certainly make Strasbourg worse off as they look to compete for a place in next season's Champions League.
Mateta to make Milan move
Jean-Philippe Mateta's time at Crystal Palace is seemingly up, with the striker reportedly set for a medical at AC Milan ahead of a deadline day switch to the Italian giants.
Mateta formally asked to leave the club earlier in the transfer window, and at the time, it was Aston Villa and Juventus that were considered the frontrunners for his signature.
However, according to David Ornstein, AC Milan have stolen a march on both of those clubs and agreed a fee with Crystal Palace for around €30m.
The loss of Mateta won't exactly help the Eagles as they continue to slide down the Premier League table. They will be desperate to bring in a worthy replacement on deadline day, with Jorgen Strand Larsen tipped to make the move.
