Over to the east of the city and Manchester City are expecting to welcome Raheem Sterling for a medical today ahead of his £49m move from Liverpool. Yes, £49m. (Sky Sports)
And Manchester City aren't finished there. Former Chelsea midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne, is on his way from Wolfsburg as soon as the clubs agree a deal. This could take a while though if the Germans see how much City forked out for 20-year-old Sterling. 'Show me the money' springs to mind. (Daily Telegraph)
Liverpool have competition for Aston Villa striker, Christian Benteke - some of their fans will be happy to hear. English rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, are believed to be in the chase for the Belgian as well who is on a pre-season camp in Portugal with Tim Sherwood (the rest of them are there, too). Villa are holding out for the £32.5m release clause though so if the 'Pool want him, they will have only £6.2m left of their money for Sterling after QPR get their cut. (The Express)
Newcastle United meanwhile are said to have joined the race for Spurs winger, Andros Townsend. Villa and Sunderland fans everywhere breathe a huge sigh of relief as their interest in the player is met with serious competition. (Daily Star)

The tough-tackling Chile midfielder played with Cardiff two seasons ago and was a regular at the San Siro last year. Along with Milner and Henderson, the 27-year-old could add real steal to the Anfield backbone.
Oh, and Manchester United are interested in a player apparently. He's well-known, he's well-paid, he's coming to Old Trafford along with the rest of them. Edison Cavani is also believed to be on the United wishlist with TalkSPORT reporting that the PSG striker is a "prime target" of Louis van Gaal. They're all prime targets.
Manchester United might also be EITHER: looking for a new 'keeper or just keeping David De Gea with Victor Valdes having been dropped from their tour of the USA.Football
