Adrien Truffert moves on
Chelsea pay $41.8M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Jaydee Canvot due for a Bournemouth medical

Eli Junior Kroupi moves on
Arsenal pay $24.3M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.
