@Blue_Footy Patience is key. Xabi Alonso's system isn't built overnight, and with key players still to return, judging it now would be premature. The foundations are being laid.

Xabi Alonso when asked how his players are adapting to his philosophy: 🗣 "We are still missing few important players that will play an important role. But it's good that with the ones, we are working on a few of the things, when with the ball and against the ball. So for sure, it's a process, and we are still early days." ~ @paramountplus

@FabrizioRomano Rangers have landed a quality addition. Daisuke Yokota brings pace, flair, and creativity out wide. At that price, this could prove to be a very smart piece of business if he settles quickly.

🚨🔵⚪️ EXCL: Rangers reach verbal agreement to sign Daisuke Yokota from Hannover. 26 year old Japanese winger set for move worth €3.3m fixed fee plus €700k add-ons. 🇯🇵

I’ve gone from gloom and despair last season to overflowing joy 😂😂😂 Anyone else feeling like they can’t stop smiling lately ❓❓❓😊🌟💫✨

@FabrizioRomano Done deal. Fulham have landed one of Real Madrid's brightest young talents. Now the real test begins, can Gonzalo Garcia make the jump from promise to Premier League performer?

🚨⚪️⚫️ OFFICIAL: Gonzalo García joins Fulham from Real Madrid. €40m fixed fee, €2m add-ons, 30% sell-on clause and matching rights for Madrid.

A bold move by Fulham. If Gonzalo Garcia adapts quickly to the Premier League, this could end up looking like one of the bargains of the window. Real Madrid don't usually let talented academy products leave unless there's a clear pathway elsewhere. Now it's over to Garcia to prove he can handle the step up.

Fulham confirm Gonzalo Garcia has joined from Real Madrid on a five-year deal contract with a further one-year option.🏡 🗣️ Garcia: "I have to thank the board and Arbeloa for the trust they’ve put in me, and I’m very, very excited to start." 🗣️Tony Khan: "Gonzalo is a very talented young striker, and he is excited to come to Fulham and play in the Premier League."

@Blue_Footy @alex_crook @talkSPORT No surprise. Delap needs regular football, and if he's not guaranteed that, a move makes sense. Everton won't be the only club interested if he becomes available.

🗣 @alex_crook on Delap's future: "Everton were keen last summer. I think David Moyes retains the interest in Liam Delap. There could be a bit of a battle for his signature. But I do expect him to go between now and the end of the window." ~ @talkSPORT

@MadridXtra That's the mentality every manager wants. Versatile, selfless, hardworking, and focused on the team above himself. Real Madrid are getting more than just quality, they're getting a leader.

🚨 Bernardo Silva: “I’m a team player, a hard worker, and I try to make those around me better. I’m going to bring a lot of hard work and a lot of joy everyday so we can prepare for matches and arrive in the best possible shape. I always try to be available in several positions to help the team. I’m a player who can fit in many places and I’ll be ready for anything, for whatever Real Madrid needs.”

@MadridXtra Zidane is slightly overrated in all time debates. An icon? Absolutely. Top 5 ever? There are at least 7–10 players with stronger careers and more consistent greatness.

🚨 Bernardo Silva: “Zinedine Zidane is probably top 5 players in football HISTORY.”

@MadridXtra Admiring Modrić isn't surprising. When one of the greatest midfielders ever shares advice, you listen. Bernardo learning from Modrić says a lot about the level he wants to reach.

🚨 Bernardo Silva: “Me and Modrić have spoken a few times. He’s a BIG figure to me.” 🤍

@Plettigoal West Ham have done their part by agreeing personal terms with Arne Engels. Now it's down to reaching a deal with Celtic, who won't let one of their key players leave cheaply. If the Hammers really want him, they'll likely need to improve their offer.

🚨🆕 West Ham United are stepping up their pursuit of Arne Engels and have already submitted two offers. So far, no agreement has been reached with Celtic. #WHUFC As reported, Engels has already reached a verbal agreement with West Ham on a contract until 2031 and is now waiting for the clubs to agree. @SkySportDE 🇧🇪

@BleacherReport Not yet. The talent is undeniable, but one elite season isn't enough for me to put him firmly in the top 10. Another year of consistency and he'll have a strong case.

Does Caleb Williams belong in the top 10? 🤔 Full list here: bleacherreport.com/articles/25458…

@MadridXtra If Real Madrid came calling, even most Barcelona fans would secretly think twice.

🚨 Bernardo Silva: “Real Madrid is the BEST club in football HISTORY. When Real Madrid came, it was IMPOSSIBLE to not say YES. I did not think twice.”

@FabrizioRomano Dion Lopy to Al Ittihad for €19m plus a 10% sell on clause is a strong piece of business for Almería. Saudi clubs continue to move decisively in the market, and this looks set to be another one wrapped up quickly.

🚨🟡⚫️ Al Ittihad reach agreement in principle with Almería for Dion Lopy! Exclusive details: €19m fee plus 10% sell-on clause. Medical booked and paperwork in process. 🇸🇦
