Sports Mole provides updates on all the day's major transfer news as and when it happens.

Welcome to Sports Mole's live transfer blog on Saturday, August 15.

As most teams dive into their second weekend of fixtures, the staff behind the scenes prepare their transfer strategies before the transfer window closes on Tuesday, September 1.

Stay with us for any major deals and breakthroughs that happen over the next 24 hours.

Good morning everyone! Not long now until this summer's transfer window closes as clubs have less than three weeks to finalise any deals and improve their squads. The transfer activity appears to have died down in the past few weeks after it's hectic start but we can always expect a frantic finish as we approach deadline day. Stay with us to keep up to date on all the latest transfer activity.
Thomas Muller has laughed off suggestions that his brace against Hamburg on Friday evening will increase his market value, saying that he 'isn't the right person to be asked that question'. Manchester United are currently being linked with the forward and have reportedly made a £50m bid for him. Will they have to stump up more cash to try and lure away the striker?
Want to know about all of the transfer stories that emerged overnight? You can find all of the news and speculation right here in our 8am Transfer Talk Update.
Promising news for Spurs fans this morning, as Mauricio Pochettino reassures fans that Hugo Lloris will not be leaving the club this summer. Read about it here.
With Ben Foster still recovering from a serious knee injury, West Bromwich Albion have been said to be in the market for another goalkeeper for some time, and if reports are to be believed, the Baggies are closing in on the signing of Cardiff City stopper David Marshall. Read more here.
BREAKING NEWS! After Roberto Soldado departed the club on Friday, Tottenham Hotspur have pushed through with a deal for Lyon forward Clinton Njie. Read more here.
DONE DEAL! Queens Park Rangers have allowed youngster Ben Pattie to sign a one-month loan deal with National League outfit Woking. Read more here.
Sticking with QPR and the Hoops have made a third bid for Southend keeper Daniel Bentley. It is thought that the offer is in excess of £1m. Last month, the Essex outfit revealed that they had rejected an offer from Hull City for the 22-year-old.
Liverpool have reportedly rejected a bid from Roma to take Mamadou Sakho on a season-long loan deal. The French international was left out of the Reds' opening Premier League game at Stoke City, last Sunday.
Roma are also rumoured to have terminated the contract of ex-Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole. The former England international has been linked with a switch to Major League Soccer.

Staying in Serie A and Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini is reportedly in the market for a winger and has identified Diego Perotti as his key target. The Nerazzurri are rumoured to have agreed an £8.5m fee for the Argentine international.
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is hoping to lure midfielder Atiba Hutchinson from former club Besiktas before the end of the summer window. However, reports in Turkey claim that the Black Eagles are looking for a fee of around £5m for the Canadian international.
On the subject of the Hammers, the club are also being linked with a deal for Galatasaray forward Buruk Yilmaz. The 29-year-old has four years left on his contract at the Turk Telekom Arena, but West Ham are hoping that a fee of just over £7m will persuade the Istanbul club to sell.
QPR have apparently been busy in their search for a goalkeeper, since selling Alex McCarthy to Crystal Palace. The R's are reportedly planning a £1.5m bid for Huddersfield's Alex Smithies. Rangers have also made an offer for Southend stopper Daniel Bentley, as we revealed earlier.
Everton are rumoured to be in talks with River Plate as they try to sign defender Ramiro Funes Mori. It is thought that 24-year-old could provide competition for John Stones and Phil Jagielka in the heart of the Blues defence, should he move to Goodison Park.
Fulham and QPR have been linked with a deal for Bolton's Tim Ream. However, the American defender is believed to have chosen to join the Cottagers as he believes that Fulham will give him a greater chance of playing in the Premier League again.
One signing who is being tipped for greatness is new Juventus striker Paulo Dybala. That's the opinion of disgraced former Juve director Luciano Moggi, who claims that the former Palermo forward could be an ideal replacement for Carlos Tevez.

He told Tuttomercatoweb: "They could miss Tevez's goals as [Mario] Mandzukic scores less, but I think Dybala is a great signing. I think that he could score more goals (than) many other forwards."

Inter Milan are rumoured to be eyeing a move for Atletico Madrid's Guilherme Siqueira. Juventus were thought to be in the running, but have reportedly put their own pursuit on hold.
West Ham United already have as many as five strikers on their books, but chairman David Gold has indicated that the Hammers are still in the market for another forward. Read more here.
Everton may have romped to a 3-0 win at Southampton earlier today, but manager Roberto Martinez has revealed that he is still keen to strengthen his Toffees squad. Read more here.
This is somewhat of a coup for National League North side Alfreton Town. They have signed former Hull City goalkeeper Matt Duke on a one-year deal.
Napoli midfielder Gokhan Inler has been linked with Leicester City for some time, but if reports are to be believed, the Foxes could be close to getting the deal over the line. Read more here.
West Bromwich Albion head coach Tony Pulis has already made five signings this summer, but after seeing his team draw 0-0 with Watford, he has hinted that he wants to bring in more players. Read more here.
Arsenal are reportedly shopping for another goalkeeper to provide cover for Petr Cech, and Roberto Jimenez Gago of Olympiacos is said to have caught Arsene Wenger's eye. The Gunners are in need of cover in that position after loaning out Wojciech Szczesny and Emiliano Martinez.
Paris Saint-Germain full-back Lucas Digne looks on course to join Serie A side Roma, according to manager Laurent Blanc. The PSG boss has admitted that "the chances of him leaving to find a club in Italy are high". Sounds like it's almost a done deal.
There has been plenty of rumours involving Juventus this week, with Ramires, Juan Cuadrado and Christian Eriksen all linked with a move to Turin. Reports tonight have suggested that the Serie A champions are also interested in Real Madrid's attacking midfielder Isco.
Will Charlie Austin still be a Championship striker when the transfer window slams shut? It seems unlikely that the Queens Park Rangers ace will be staying at Loftus Road, but he admits that he is unsure about the speculation linking him with Spurs and Newcastle.
PSG never seem to be too far away from some transfer gossip, but could they be about to lose a talented youngster? A report has suggested that Arsenal are interested in signing 20-year-old midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
Manchester City reportedly deny that a £50m bid was lodged for Wolfsburg and Belgium ace Kevin De Bruyne. More on this in HERE!
Roma haven't finished their summer spending it seems, amid reports that the Italian club have tabled a £25m bid for Chelsea youngster Kurt Zouma. More in HERE.
