With under two weeks left in the transfer window, news is accelerating in regards to final refinements clubs are making to their squads.
The first round of English Premier League fixtures saw a number of high profile players left out of their squads with their futures in doubt.
Jadon Sancho, Ivan Toney and Raheem Sterling are just three names that fall in that list.
Managers and coaches are making decisions on how they wish to shape their squads and incomings are just as inevitable as outgoings.

One of the areas that Man Utd are looking to strengthen is in the middle of the pitch.
There have been numerous players that have been linked with the club.
Nottingham Forest’s Danilo was linked by Brazilian sources, but his season ending injury seems to have killed that off.
Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana was also linked by Sky Sports, but it looks like he’s going to join AC Milan instead.
The most high profile name linked has been Manuel Ugarte.
At numerous times through the transfer window, it’s been believed that United were set to swoop for the PSG midfielder.
However, subsequent reports from the likes of David Ornstein have said that the Red Devils have abandoned the race for the Uruguay international.
So what does that mean for Erik ten Hag’s side?

Anyone who watched the side last season knows that the club need greater strength in depth in the midfield.
The club is just a Kobbie Mainoo injury away from being extremely vulnerable in the middle of the park.
One of the other names linked with the club has been Burnley’s Sander Berge.
Such has been the noise around the player that even Burnley manager Scott Parker has had to comment on the news.
And now it has emerged that Manchester United have made a bid for the Championship player.
The Daily Mail report that United have had a bid turned down for Norway international as it fell short of the club’s £30m valuation.
Berge has missed the first two games of the new season, throwing his future in doubt.
However, Parker has claimed that it’s due to a slight knock rather than rumours over his future.
The online newspaper also claims that Manuel Ugarte is still the preferred choice for MUFC, but only if PSG lower their price.
It seems that the club are being proactive and making moves for Sander Berge rather than putting all their eggs in one basket for Ugarte.
