Broja subject to interest from Greece and United Arab Emirates
Latest from Your Site News' Adrian Kajumba:
Burnley striker Armando Broja is a target for clubs in Greece and the United Arab Emirates, with the transfer window still open in both countries.
Greek side PAOK FC were initially hoping to sign the 25-year-old on a straight loan, but Burnley's preference is either a permanent move or a loan deal that includes an obligation to buy.
The Greek transfer window closes tonight at 10pm UK time.
Al Jazira Club, early-season leaders of the UAE Pro League, have Broja on their striker shortlist too.
If they choose to firm up their interest and he remains available, they have until September 28 to try and agree a deal with Burnley.
Before the German window closed earlier this month, Bundesliga side Schalke also enquired about taking Broja on loan and covering his salary, but they saw that approach knocked back.
Iraola: We will assess Liverpool squad in January
Andoni Iraola says he will reassess his Liverpool squad in the January transfer market after being reluctant to comment on whether the club needed to sign another midfielder during the summer.
The Reds were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw against Fulham just three days after the 2-1 win against Atletico Madrid and Iraola admitted the squad lacked "freshness" after the game.
Just two changes were made to the starting line-up as Victor Munoz replaced Rio Ngumoha and Alexis Mac Allister made way for Ryan Gravenberch.
When asked if Liverpool were one midfielder short after the summer transfer window, Iraola told Your Site: "I think now is not a moment to look backwards to the market.
"When the January market opens, we will see where we are. We have very good players and a very good squad.
"We need to find the balance and the right combinations so everyone can look even better than the player he is.
"If we are not well drilled, the timings are not there, then everyone looks worse. Everyone has to add a little bit."
Wales boss Bellamy reveals truth about 'flattering' Burnley approach
Wales boss Craig Bellamy has opened up about Burnleys approach to recruit him as their new head coach during the summer.
Your Site News reported in June that Bellamy was in talks with the Championship club and was heavily admired following his previous role at Turf Moor as an assistant to Vincent Kompany.
Reports quickly followed that talks had broken down and Bellamy would not take the role, meaning he would remain in charge of Wales.
However, as Your Site News reported during the summer, Bellamy has now clarified what happened, insisting the Burnley job was not for him.
The move didn't break down, Bellamy told the press.
I said no. It's not for me. That is it. There was no walking away from discussions. It just wasn't for me. That was the conversation I had and it was simple.
What came out 20 minutes later was different. But let it be, people talk. Let them talk, I can't control that.
While Bellamy revealed he turned down the job, the Wales boss remained complimentary of his former club when asked if he had considered joining the Clarets.
It was flattering, Bellamy said.
I think we all like our ego being exercised and being wanted. So that's not a problem. But to me, my partner and my kids, this was the place and we didn't see anything being able to move that.
I'm comfortable with the decision I made, he added.
I've always been very committed to everything that I do and that hasn't changed. Winning people back over? I don't know.
The simple part of it is that I'm comfortable in me and the biggest person I have to prove anything to is me and that never changes.
Although Bellamy is committed to the job, he was cautious about giving any assurances that he will see out his Wales contract.
Bellamy is currently halfway through a four-year deal that is set to expire after Euro 2028.
I could get sacked! Bellamy said.
Do you want me to speak to the Welsh FA and ask can you give me reassurance that I'll be staying for two years? We don't work that way. I don't think anyone does in any walk of life.
I can't look into the future that much. As much as we'd like to and as much as we like to reassure people, the reality of the world is that we know it's volatile.
I would love to sit here and say yeah, but is that really realistic for the environment I'm in?
'Enzo Fernandez handed in two transfer requests before 125m Man City move'
Enzo Fernandez handed in two transfer requests at Chelsea as he pushed for a move to Manchester City, according to the Sun.
The Argentina midfielder eventually secured a 125m deadline-day switch to City after previously attracting interest from Real Madrid.
Fernandez, who was Chelsea's vice-captain, reportedly felt his relationship with team-mates had broken down and was determined to leave Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea held out until deadline day before sanctioning the British-record deal, but were unable to sign a replacement after Monaco pulled the plug on their late move for Lamine Camara.
Fernandez had been a key player for Chelsea since joining from Benfica and helped them win the Club World Cup and Conference League.
His relationship with the club had become strained, however, after he publicly criticised Chelsea's decision to allow former boss Enzo Maresca to join City.
Fernandez has now reunited with Maresca in Manchester, with the Italian making him a priority signing as City reshaped their midfield.
ICYMI: Richarlison responds after being left out of Carabao Cup squad
Richarlison has responded to being left out of Tottenhams squad for Tuesdays Carabao Cup tie at Liverpool, live on Your Site.
The striker posted on social media, 'Why?' with a sad emoji face over Fabrizio Romano's tweet of Roberto De Zerbi confirming the Brazil international had been left out of the Anfield trip.
Richarlison was omitted from Spurs 25-man Premier League squad after being informed he is not part of the clubs first-team plans, but he failed to secure a departure after turning down a move to Brazilian side Vasco da Gama last Friday.
He is eligible to play in the Carabao Cup, but De Zerbi confirmed the ex-Everton forward will not feature despite boasting a strong record of four goals in seven meetings against Liverpool for Tottenham, who have yet to score in the league this season.
Asked if there was any way back for Richarlison, De Zerbi said: "Its not for me, this question.
Anyway, we lost in Brentford 3-0 with Richarlison. Maybe you forgot. Just to remember.
Earlier on Friday, the Italian said: Richarlison, you already know everything and nothing changes for Carabao Cup or Premier League. The situation is the same.
I stay in the middle and I cant say nothing more because it is not my job. I can answer about the result and the players in the squad, the offensive phase, the defensive phase, but not for other things.
What I have done at the beginning of this season has been to speak with him and to propose an extension of the contract. If he said, no thank you, I finished my job.
I said last press conference. I know what happened in the last 45 days. Its not right if I explained. Its not my behaviour. The relationship, the problem is between the player and the club.
I stay within the club. Its coach and club together. At the start of this season I spoke to him many times to convince him to stay and he didnt want to. I cant go every day to pray for him to stay.
