Lyon has practically made its official and definitive position: the demanded stars Houssem Aouar and Memphis Depay will not leave the club the existing signing window despite long-standing interest and multiple donations from Arsenal and Barcelona.
[VIDEO: GIO Reyna of USMNT wins an assists hat-trick in Dortmund]
Arsenal have spent most of the window chasing 22-year-old midfielder Houssem Aouar, for whom Lyon has consistently insisted that it will go for $60 million. Arsenal almost matched Lyon’s valuation, but only after considering additions to the initial rate. The largest offer announced at Emirates Stadium fell a few million dollars after long-term charges.
It is a bitter tablet for Arsenal, as Aouar turns out to have been their main target for this window, but they are now heading towards Monday’s deadline empty-handed. It is to know how many more easily achievable players have refused in their search for Houssem Aouar, however, it is certainly another number of zero.
Of course, there are doubts about whether any other offensive midfielder is what the Gunners needed or if they had been in a better position to prioritize major innovations in defensive midfield. In any case, Aouar’s quality would have added anything vital to his team and the price of his movement would only have appreciated over time. The absence of a full movement plan turned out to have bitten Arsenal again.
All of Arsenal’s move-in agreements can be summed up quickly: Willian has signed a loose play for Chelsea and defender Gabriel arrived for Lille’s $31 million.

As for Depay, Barcelona connected with the 26-year-old forward following the appointment of Ronald Koeman as manager and, according to the report, Barça have never achieved Depay’s (unknown) valuation through Lyon, so he will continue at the club for the 2020-21 season.

Everton – Brighton saw the Toffees make the most of Brighton’s mistakes and punish them to remain the best in the Premier League with a 4-2 win.
Carlo Ancelotti’s appearance has now won 4 out of 4 games and has 12 problems on the board, while James Rodriguez has scored twice as many as Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Yerry Mina were also on the form, while Neal Maupay soon tied for Brighton and Yves Bissouma scored. a vanquished consolation.

This victory makes evertonians dream of getting into the 4 most sensitive this season and if they can their defensive mistakes, why not?They have seven wins out of seven in all competitions to start the season.
1. Pickford can hold Everton: he made a big mistake in allowing Brighton to draw and also hit a ball directly at a Brighton player in the middle of the moment. Pickford looked fragile and as smart as Everton in midfield and attack, if their goalkeeper continues to make mistakes, he’ll stop them. It would probably be difficult for Pickford, but it seemed to be his weak link for a while and if he can be solid, Everton will probably end up in sixth most sensible place. However, it’s a big yes.
The unfortunate Brighton can pay for his mistakes: the Seagulls fall into the category of “doing beautiful things without being rewarded” and the Graham Potter team had to pay for their mistakes. They lost chances, of course, but they didn’t go there defensively and gave the ball very profitably and Everton made them pay. So far, Everton, Chelsea and Man United have mercilessly punished Brighton, but if they continue to play like this, they will beat many groups in the Premier League.
3. James has a massive impact; Calvert-Lewin remains undeniable: Rodriguez pulls all the strings and the whole Everton attack turns to him. Drifts and provides quality and calvert-Lewin the attack line has a focal point. DCL has now scored in All’s 4 Everton PL games this season and leads the Premier League with six goals, helps keep things undeniable and is in the right position in the most sensible because it knows that James and company will put opportunities on the plate.
At first, Everton had a few chances, but Calvert-Lewin shot Ryan directly, then Brighton’s goalkeeper turned down Seamus Coleman.
Brighton did not wake up in torrential rain and Everton took the lead. Gylfi Sigurdsson threw a center at the back post after a short corner and the boy at the time Calvert-Lewin scored an imposing headbutt on the back post.
However, things changed for the Toffees, as Richarlison first forced himself to get injured, then Pickford made a big mistake in allowing Maupay to do 1-1.
Mina made the 2-1 break when James Rodriguez scored a big free kick from the right and his compatriot went home.
[VIDEO: The Best of the Premier League]
Everton was ruthless in the rain when Leandro Trossard’s bad ball provoked an attack when Alex Iwobi went to the back post and Rodriguez flew to put the 3-1.
Everton got a fourth consecutive win to start the season, as Brighton drove hard, but he may not return to the game as Pickford almost makes an expensive mistake with a bad blow.
The Toffees sat down and hurt the counter, thus scoring their fourth as Iwobi and Abdoulaye Doucoure combined as the latter set for James Rodriguez for a very final finish.
Yves Bissouma broke the space discount time to take advantage of the moment Brighton deserved, but Everton was a well-deserved winner.

“Reyna attends” is something we will see as a trend for a while.
Gio Reyna is 17. Remember, he’s only 17.
[MORE: How to watch PL in the US]
The USMNT young man scored an assists hat trick in Borussia Dortmund’s 4-0 Bundesliga win in Freiburg on Saturday when Erling Haaland scored in two of his assists and Emre Can scored compared to Reyna’s game with Zinedine Zidane.
Yes, you read it right. No wonder they call him “The American Dream” in Dortmund, as he continues to create quality opportunities for his teammates. USMNT enthusiasts enjoyed his father, Claudio, but Gio Reyna does things that a handful of American players have done in Europe.
And he’s only 18 next month, when he’ll sign a professional contract with Dortmund. Many coaches of the German giants think he can beat Christian Pulisic in the game and it’s probably surprising for football fans.
Reyna is enjoying a glorious start to the 2020–21 season and, after making her breakthrough and debut for Dortmund in the 2019-20 campaign, has accelerated things in more than a few notches in recent weeks.
Watch the videos below to watch Reyna smash Freiburg while her 3 assists make USMNT enthusiasts salivate.
Imagine Reyna connecting with Pulisic in attack with Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams in midfield?
Suddenly, Gregg Berhalter’s team has a new game creator and USMNT has touched the ball in recent months, the degrees of optimism are incredibly high.

Cavani at Manchester United can happen in the last days of the moving window, as the Uruguayan star remains remarkably a lazy agent.
[MORE: How to view PL in the U. S. ]
Cavani, 33, sued Europe’s most sensitive clubs after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain ended in July; however, no agreement has yet been reached at Atletico Madrid and Benfica, while Inter Miami in MLS opted for Gonzalo Higuaín.
All this means that El Matador has yet to announce a new club, and a TalkSPORT report in the UK indicates that Cavani at Manchester United can happen, but there are some obstacles to overcome.
You can see our special on move-in day, deadline on October 5 from four in the afternoon. up to 7 p. m. ET on NBCSN as our analysts break down all the latest transactions and dramas.
According to the report, Cavani needs to be matched his previous PSG salary of $260,000 a week and other reports say he needs a long-term contract, but Manchester United are more willing to offer him a short-term contract.
Cavani would be a very good short-term option, if you stay in shape.
Manchester United have sought a transfer deal for Barcelona striker Ousmane Dembele, but that lasts before the move-in window closes on Monday five October.
Time is running out and Manchester United now seems more than a little desperate, as the plays of Alex Telles, Jadon Sancho and Dembele have ended, and have already lost to Sergio Reguilon, Thiago Alcantara and Gareth Bale this summer.
With Mason Greenwood, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Daniel James, Odion Ighalo, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard in attack, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has many features at the helm, but Cavani would come in and fight for a place.
As we have said many times, Man United’s precedence in the last days of the window will have to be behind us rather than moving forward.
Obviously, Solskjaer and the Man United hierarchy otherwise.
