Mamadou Sarr
The former Strasbourg man has completed a season-long loan move to Real Sociedad. It was officially confirmed by the club earlier today. Sarr only made seven appearances last season.
Nicolas Jackson and Emiliano Martinez
Chelsea and Aston Villa are doing business with each other again this summer! We already saw that with Alejandro Garnacho. Jackson is headed to Villa, with a transfer fee agreement having been reached of £65m in total.
According to multiple outlets, the up-front sum is £47.5m, with £17.5m more in add-ons possible.
It is looking like Jackson might even be registered in time to face Arsenal on Monday night. And then, in a separate deal, Martinez is headed to Chelsea for a fee of £7.5 million ($10.2m), according to ESPN.
