Arsenal tempted by Draxler, why Stoke are a mini-Barca and all today's transfer gossip

And are Tottenham about to pounce for Saido Berahino?

HERE’S YOUR DAILY dose of transfer gossip from the madness of the summer transfer window and who better to guide us through the latest wheelin’ and dealin’s than ‘Arry himself.

Just don’t use the words wheelin’ or dealin’, alright?

Stoke sign Ibra…sort of: The question is now part of the football lexicon: ‘Could they do it on a wet Tuesday in Stoke?’ Andy Gray once asked it of the great Guardiola Barcelona side so how ironic that so many of Pep’s former charges are now at the Brittania? The Potters’ signings in the last while have been eye-catching and Ibrahim Afellay’s is more of the same.

Ay-Plus for Villa as they secure new signing: Tim Sherwood has lost two of his three prized assets – Christian Benteke and Fabian Delph. Luckily for him, he still has his gilet. And now he also has attacker Jordan Ayew after signing him from Lorient. His older brother Andre signed for Swansea last month.

Blood on the Drax: Julian Draxler has long been touted as an ideal signing for Arsenal but Arsene Wenger has never pulled the trigger. The 21-year-old is at the centre of a proposed deal that would take him from Schalke to Juventus but the German side have said they’ll not negotiate with Juve anymore. Is this a chance for the Gunners to make their move?

Balotelli set for another Italian Job: Mario wants to get out of Liverpool and it’s likely to be Sampdoria who offers him an escape route. But the Serie A side don’t want to pay anything like the £16 million he cost the Reds last season.

Saido set for Spurs switch? Mauricio Pochettino had to rely on Harry Kane last term and it’s unlikely the young striker will be able to put together such a ferocious and uninterrupted campaign this term. So, a move for the sprightly, solid West Brom youngster looks a smart move.

Is De Bruyne De Boy for City? This seems so ridiculous that it could only happen in the Premier League. City have forked out £49 million for Raheem Sterling and still are desperate to land Kevin de Bruyne from Wolfsburg. But the Germans are playing hardball and want £57 million.
