23.31 BST Inter boss Andrea Stramaccioni offers his musings on the club’s potential signings: “I think it’s important that we focus on players who are useful and functional. The characteristics of the team go beyond a single name.
“I would see a problem if a player arrived who did not function in the way we play. When the first name on the list fades it is not a problem. What is important is that the players who do arrive are functional. I would be worried if by August 31 the players with the characteristics I am after have not arrived, but I’m not worried at this time.”

"We know some clubs have looked at him and he has been in the spotlight. I don't see anybody leaving, but if he leaves it would be for a lot of money - but Kouyate cannot move to the Premier League because he has not played matches for Senegal."
21.09 BST Sky Sports News says senior Manchester United players are of the belief that Robin van Persie will be joining the club very shortly. This appears to be gaining momentum now...

"I know that they still want him, but the transfer fee is a problem. He's just waiting to see how things pan out, but he would like it if the transfer takes place. I'd say chances that it will go ahead are 50-50 now."
12.15 BST - DONE DEAL Hoffenheim have completed the signing of Real Madrid's Joselu.

"I do think another year in the Championship will be the best thing that can happen to Jordan," Grayson told the Yorkshire Post. "I am not saying Jordan couldn't make it in the Premier League if someone comes in. He has always scored goals at whatever level.
"But I have seen it happen a few times where a player leaves the Championship to go to the Premier League and then only plays a dozen games, or spends most of their time coming off the bench.”
11.08 BST Let's have a Modric moment. Why not?
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has set the price for the Croatian midfielder at around £40 million, though £35 million (plus success-dependent add-on clauses) would be enough to clinch the deal.

He also said he believed Ward’s defensive colleague Daniel Ayala, on loan at Forest for the season, had a big future at Norwich, adding: “”I wasn’t interested in selling him. He has gone out on loan to a good club with a good manager that will certainly play a good, attractive passing game. But he has also gone to a club where there is a bit of pressure.
“They have got high expectations, the Forest supporters. They have brought in new players and they have new owners so it was important for me he went somewhere with that pressure. They are a club who want to have a go in the division, and that played a part in it as well.”
08.43 BST Israel international striker Itay Schechter could be heading for Swansea City, with reports suggesting that the 25-year-old could move to Wales on a season-long loan from Kaiserslautern.
08.39 BST Hamburg are set sign former Wigan midfielder Paul Scharner on a two-year deal, reports in Germany say. Kicker magazine says Hamburg are also interested in doing a loan deal for Genoa’s Chile international Cristobal Jorquera.

08.28 BST And in other news from the Reebok, reports suggest that Bolton have turned down a bid from Swansea, believed to be £5 million, for midfielder Mark Davies. The news that the Swans are in the market for a midfielder can only add to the continuing swirl of speculation about Joe Allen and his future – is Liverpool beckoning? Will we ever, ever find out?
08.25 BST Valenciennes midfielder Carlos Sanchez won’t be going to Bolton - Owen Coyle is not impressed with what the Colombia international, available on a free transfer, is demanding. The Wanderers manager said: “There was no point meeting with the player because of the demands they had put forward. They were far and away beyond our means and, I've got to say, would be out of the reach of a lot of top six clubs as well.”
He has accused the player and his agent of having changed their demands after the Championship club had made initial inquiries earlier in the summer.
08.10 BST Time for our customary look around the English newspapers - though another day full of Olympic gold medals means we will probably be scanning the fine print for gossip:

Liverpool sources have confirmed that City have made approaches about Agger, 27, but that the two sides are some way apart in their valuation of the player, who has two years left on his contract.
08.00 BST Good morning, football fans, and welcome to what we, as always, hope is an action-packed day in the summer transfer window. A number of sagas continue to roll on as we ponder whether Luka Modric will ever end up at Real Madrid and wonder which of Europe's giants Lucas Moura will be playing for in the coming season.
