Crystal Palace have made a late enquiry for Strasbourg defender Ben Chilwell and lined up a move for Midtjylland winger Dario Osorio.

Chilwell joined the French side from Chelsea and it remains to be seen if he is open to returning to the Premier League.

The left-back spent a previous spell at Palace on loan in 2025.

Chile winger Osorio is Palace’s back-up to Lyon winger Malick Fofana, who is also wanted by Sunderland.

In a summer of highly-inflated transfer fees, value has become increasingly hard to determine.

Manchester City's £65m deal for Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye is a case in point.

On one hand, the Senegal international is a player of wonderful skill and deception, the quintessential entertainer able to get supporters out of their seats.

Everton fans may also point to recent moves in the Premier League involving City, such as the sale of Savio to Tottenham for an initial £75m, as further evidence that the club should have demanded more for Ndiaye.

On the other hand, Everton are effectively quadrupling the initial £16m they paid Marseille to sign Ndiaye two years ago for a player whose underlying numbers, at this stage at least, are not truly elite.

In the Premier League last season, Ndiaye was by far Everton's top dribbler, completing 46 more than any other Toffees player. But he only ranked joint third at Everton alone for goal contributions (9), with Beto (10) and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (12) ranking higher.

It is reasonable to assume that those numbers for Ndiaye will improve in a more attacking team at City but his general creativity is also middling.

He created 36 chances in total in the Premier League last season, ranking him fourth at Everton. Toffees midfielder James Garner created 26 more. Jack Grealish, whose season ended in January because of injury, created eight more.

Casting the net a little wider, 45 Premier League players have recorded more goal contributions than Ndiaye's 19 since he made his Everton debut two years ago.

As a 26-year-old set to be surrounded by better players, it would be no surprise should his numbers flourish at the Etihad.

But even in today's money, £65m for Ndiaye's current output may not be as questionable a deal as it sounds.

Fulham

Manuel Angel said: "It’s an incredible feeling to have signed for such a legendary club as Fulham, the oldest in London.

"And to compete in a league like the Premier League, where every player dreams of playing at some point in their career.

"I’m also looking forward to experiencing the passion of the fans - and, in particular, our own supporters at Craven Cottage."

Am I certain he really said all of those words? Not really.

It's fair to say that Iliman Ndiaye's journey to Manchester City has been something of a scenic route.

It is a little over six years since he made his professional debut playing in the seventh tier of English football.

Ndiaye was playing Sunday League football while attempting to get into the first team of National League side Boreham Wood when he was invited for a one-week trial with Sheffield United at the age of 19.

Two trial games were enough for the then Premier League club to sign the talented teenager, although it would be another 18 months until he made an appearance for the Blades.

Instead, Ndiaye spent the second half of the 2019-20 campaign on loan at Hyde United in the Northern Premier Division, making six appearances in his very first taste of professional football.

He often risked missing the last train back to Sheffield to stay out on the training pitch.

After returning to Bramall Lane, Ndiaye made his Premier League debut in March 2021 but it would be another three and a half years until he became established at the highest level following the Blades' relegation.

Two seasons in the Championship culminated in Ndiaye spearheading United's return to the top flight in 2023 with 14 goals in 43 starts but he was then sold to Marseille that summer.

Ndiaye then struggled during one campaign in France before joining Everton for an initial £16m in July 2024.

A firm fan favourite on Merseyside, "Skiliman" scored 15 goals and provided four assists in 67 Premier League games for the Toffees.

Completing the journey from non-league to the Champions League is only a matter of time.

Manchester City

Shall we see what Iliman Ndiaye has to say about that move across the North West?

"I’ve worked my whole life for an opportunity like this," the new Manchester City winger, 26, said.

"City are one of the best clubs in the world and I’ve seen them win everything as I’ve grown up.

"To be able to write my own chapter in a story that special is the chance of a lifetime and I’m determined to grab it with both hands.

"It’s not always been easy in my career, but I always had the belief that I could play for a team challenging for the biggest prizes and now I’m here. It feels so good.

"I love to play with the ball on the floor in an attacking team that wants to score as many goals as possible. That’s why I know this is the perfect fit.

"City fans can rest assured that I will give my all to bring more success to this incredible club."

That signing means we have now surpassed the all-time Premier League summer spending record.

We have been £13m away for a good few hours but confirmation of Iliman Ndiaye's £65m move to Manchester City means the previous record of £3.14bn has now been passed.

That's a lot of cash.

Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Senegal winger Iliman Ndiaye from Everton in a deal worth up to £65m.

The agreement is worth £60m plus a further £5m in add-ons.

A report in France had suggested Everton's £40m move for AS Monaco striker Folarin Balogun was off after the striker failed his medical.

The current information at the Everton end, however, is that the Balogun deal is still being worked on as the deadline approaches - but they really need this deal to get over the line with Beto having left for Fiorentina and Iliman Ndiaye on his way to Manchester City.

Do not panic just yet, Everton fans.

We're also still waiting for news on Iliman Ndiaye and Jack Grealish in relation to Everton.

One in one out, vibes.

Everton’s proposed move for Monaco striker Folarin Balogun is in doubt.

The USA international was expected to join Everton in a deal worth £40million but sources close to the transfer claim the move is now uncertain.

If the deal falls through, Monaco could change their stance on the future of Chelsea target Lamine Camara.

Monaco need to sell before tonight’s deadline and if Balogun doesn’t move to Everton, the French club may revisit Camara’s move to Chelsea.

Manchester United have failed in their attempts to sign highly-rated midfielder Louis Page from Leicester City.

United's interest in Page was first reported by BBC Sport in August.

However, the first sign of a problem was Page being named in Leicester's starting line-up for their League One fixture against Plymouth on Tuesday.

It was then confirmed by sources the deal will not be concluded and Page will remain a Leicester player.

It is understood the Foxes wanted well in excess of £10m for the 18-year-old, who only made his first team debut in August 2025, but has already carved out an impressive reputation, making 25 appearances in total.

It was anticipated United were willing to loan Page straight back to Leicester, given they have already spent in excess of £150m on international midfielders this summer.

One club we haven't discussed much today is Manchester United.

Let's see what's happening at Old Trafford...
