The Premier League is now on international break, with fans only getting a glimpse of their teams in action before the first break. As expected, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal have been the best-looking teams, while Everton, Southampton and Wolves have struggled.

The good news is that the majority of London clubs have their first win already, with Crystal Palace the only capital club missing their first win. Here we round up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the top flight.

Praet blow

Fulham are said to have missed out on a deal to sign a free agent they reportedly tried to sign following the closure of the summer transfer window. Former Leicester City midfielder Denis Praet was reportedly seen as a viable option to add depth tot he midfield after he left the Foxes at the end of his contract.

The Cottagers and other English clubs like Burnley are said to have expressed an interest, according to HITC, but according to DH Net Praet has agreed to return to Anderlecht.

Villa slammed

Stan Collymore has torn into Aston Villa after they announced eye-watering ticket prices for their upcoming Champions League campaign. “The good times are back thanks to Unai Emery,” Collymore told CaughtOffside.

“After finishing fourth in the Premier League last season, we’re now on the verge of kicking off our Champions League campaign — the first time we’ve been in the competition since 1982! Despite all of this though, the club, who have decided to charge season ticket-holders between £85 and £97 for Champions League home games, are using the feel-good factor to cash in while they can. I think it’s an absolute disgrace!

Carragher on Onana

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has dubbed Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana ‘really poor’. Speaking about Erik ten Hag’s apparent lack of playing style, he said on the Stick to Football podcast: "My point is, if you just go with the actual building from the back, all top teams try and build up from the back.

“You can talk about it being right or wrong but that’s what the top teams do. I think in the goalkeeper [Onana], with the ball at his feet I think he’s quite good. I don’t think he’s a good goalie, he’s a really poor goalkeeper but in terms of with his feet, he’s okay.”
