One here that may have slipped through your net in all of last night's stateside friendly action, is Ivory Coast right-back SergeAurier being snapped up on loan by moneybags ParisSaint-Germain.
It's a year-long agreement for the Toulouse defender, with the French champions having the option to buy at the end of next season.
Arsenal were heavily linked with defender this summer, but opted to sign Mathieu Debuchy instead.

Arsenal's new anchorman?
Our man John Cross argued earlier this week that what Arsenal need, what they really, really need is a new midfielder.
Stellar names such as Sami Khedira and Lars Bender have been banded around during the transfer window, but it appears that Arsene Wenger's solution is closer to home.
The Gunners' boss believes that Jack Wilshere could well be that man - giving our photo department the excuse to get creative:

Over to Old Trafford next, where Argentina star AngelDiMaria's name is still being talked about in hushed tones.
There's talk on CaughtOffside.com that it's a two-horse race between the Red Devils and Paris Saint-Germain for the Real Madrid star.
Elsewhere, the ArturoVidal talk rumbles on - now that Suarez and Sanchez are done, this is the closest we've got to a fully-blown long-running summer transfer saga, so drink it in folks.

Liverpool news next which leads on reports that the Reds are in for Juventus' man-of-the-moment ArturoVidal.
That would be quite the coup for Brendan Rodgers, but the Italian champions aren't making any kind of encouraging noises about letting their midfield man go.
There's also more on Liverpool's move for DejanLovren, while we're on LoicRemy and JavierManquillo-watch today, as the Reds are expected to complete some signings for non-Southampton players.

Let's kick off with a few club-by-club gossip round-ups.
Here's the word on the street regarding all things Arsenal, where the big names being linked with a move to the Emirates this morning are Douglas Costa and MauricioIsla.
Shakhtar forward Costa is unsettled in the Ukraine (can't really blame him for that at the moment), but the Gunners will face obstacles in the form of competition from AC Milan and Spurs, plus a club that doesn't want to sell on the cheap.
Isla, meanwhile, was one of Chile's main men at the World Cup and it is being reported by El Mercurio that Newcastle are waiting in the wings with a £8million bid.

It could well be a busy one today, with all eyes on Liverpool as they look set to confirm their moves for Loic Remy and Javier Manquillo as the Suarez cash begins to get well and truly splashed.
No point wasting any time, so have a read of our round-up of the morning's papers - which leads on news that Liverpool are after Chelsea defender Ryan Bertrand - and then we'll get going.

There will be no shortage of family drama in season 10 of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

In one of the more tense moments in the clip, Kim Kardashian appears to lash out at younger sister Kendall Jenner, who has a fast growing modelling career.
The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity. Of course, in the movie, their character's are close; it follows the story of a manipulative young woman named Nicola Six (Heard) who strings along three men including a writer named Samson Young (Thornton) in a bid to bring about her own murder.
