We’re drawing ever closer the the curtain closing on another summer transfer window and teams are still looking to do business.

Today, England ‘keeper Joe Hart looks to have sealed a way out of Pep Guardiola’s reign at Manchester City, while two Premier League clubs break their transfer records and Napoli snap up a Croatian starlet.

Here, we round-up the day’s major transfer stories.

SOFIANE BOUFAL

LILLE TO SOUTHAMPTON
£16m (Dh77m) – DONE DEAL

The Morocco playmaker has become the most-expensive player in Southampton’s history after signing a five-year contract at St Mary’s. Saints director of football Les Reed revealed they have been scouting the 22-year-old for the last two seasons.

MARKO ROG
DINAMO ZAGREB TO NAPOLI
LOAN – DONE DEAL

The Croatia midfielder has moved to the Stadio San Paolo on a season’s loan with an option to buy the 21-year-old for €12.5m. Rog was part of the Croatia squad at Euro 2016 and impressed with his control in midfield during their group-stage victory over Spain.

NACER CHADLI
TOTTENHAM TO WEST BROM
£13m (Dh62.5m) – DONE DEAL

Baggies boss Tony Pulis was desperate for new signings and the club acted quickly to satisfy their manager by bringing the Belgian winger in for a club record fee. Chadli scored 15 goals and added 10 assists in 88 Premier League appearances for Spurs.

JOE HART
MAN CITY TO TORINO
LOAN – IN TALKS, RUMOURED MEDICAL

Reports in Italy claim Hart has made it known he is interested in a move to Turin, with the Serie A club having a private jet standing by if they receive the go-ahead. The major sticking point could be the loan fee City are asking for, which could be as much as £7m, but reports last night suggested Hart was leaving the England camp to undergo a medical at Torino.

ADRIEN SILVA
SPORTING TO LEICESTER
£21m (Dh101m) – NEW TARGET

The Portuguese midfielder gave an interview to O Jogo yesterday in which he declared his interest in moving to the King Power Stadium. The Foxes are also keen on team-mate Islam Slimani but are wary of the £34m valuation Sporting have placed on the Algerian.
