Harry Kane flight booked
A quick flick through duty free, an overpriced Pret a Manger sandwich, a struggle to find a seat with a phone charger…
That is exactly what Harry Kane is definitely (not) going through right now as he prepares to jet off to sign for Bayern Munich.
Sky Sports say his plane takes off at 4.50pm BST ahead of his medical tonight.
The outgoing Tottenham star got stuck in traffic on way the way to Stansted Airport, apparently. See, not so different to us after all.
Hugo Lloris finds his new club
Lazio are set to sign Hugo Lloris on a free transfer.
Tottenham want to let the club captain depart on good terms and have made him available for a move all summer.
With a year left to run on his contract, Spurs won’t demand a fee for Lloris as RMC Sport report on his imminent switch to Serie A.
Real Madrid have also been linked following Thibaut Courtois’ injury.
Tyler Adams to Chelsea is OFF
Chelsea will not be signing Tyler Adams.
Earlier on, we brought you news of a potential deal to swing the USA international to Brighton while Chelsea sign Moises Caicedo.
And now Sky Sports say the Blues’ plan to bring in Adams from Leeds for £20m is dead in the water, over a disagreement with the Championship club.
This one ain’t done yet, though…
