Arsenal sign Thomas Partey from Atletico Madrid

Arsenal have finally completed the signing of Thomas Partey from Atletico Madrid. The Gunners have long been in talks with the La Liga club over this deal, but were repeatedly told that the only way to get it done would be for Arsenal to trigger his €50m release clause.

Left with no choice, Arsenal did it.

Meanwhile, separate talks were held over the possible loan of Lucas Torreira from Arsenal to Atletico, and that has now been completed as well.

The 21-year-old Frenchman had a series of disciplinary problems under Mikel Arteta and was consequently frozen out of the manager’s plans.

As for Hertha, their initial plan had been to bring back Marko Grujic on another loan from Liverpool, but the Premier League champions weren’t interested in a temporary deal.

Bayern sign Bouna Sarr from Marseille

It’s really been hectic over in Munich. After signing Choupo-Moting and Douglas Costa to boost their attacking options, the Bundesliga champions are now strengthening at the back as well.

Everton sign Ben Godfrey from Norwich

Now for the transfers. Everton are first up, with their swoop for Norwich City defender Ben Godfrey ending in an agreement reportedly amounting to £20m.

https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1313026146355814401

It has been a good window for the Toffees, as the current standings in the Premier League table clearly show. Manager Carlo Ancelotti seems to have hit the jackpot with the acquisitions of Allan and James Rodriguez to boost his midfield, and now he’s strengthened the defence as well.

At the age of 22, Godfrey is a highly rated centre-back prospect. His arrival to Goodison Park reportedly signals the end of Everton’s interest in Jean-Clair Todibo, for whom Fulham now appear the favourites as Barcelona need to sell.

Also, forward Theo Walcot could leave the Merseyside club today with Southampton interested in a loan deal, but we’ll talk about that if it goes through.

Juventus vs Napoli postponed

We’ll start with a piece of interesting news not related to transfers. Juventus were scheduled to play Napoli in the Serie A on Sunday evening, but the visitors were told by the Naples Health Authorities (ASL) not to travel to Turin after two of their players tested positive for Covid-19.

Naturally, Napoli then asked for the match to be postponed, but the Serie A initially rejected their appeal, pointing to the regulations which say that teams are allowed to play if they have at least 13 players available, including one goalkeeper. They also said that the ASL had failed to take into account the ‘health protocol agreed between the country’s health and sports ministry and the football authorities’.

The match looked on course to be declared a 3-0 win for Juventus with Napoli forfeiting, and Juventus president Andrea Agnelli seemed to be angling for it when he said that the no-show of the visiting team did not give a great image to Italian football.

However, it has been reported this morning that the game has indeed been postponed to be played at a later date.
