Brendan Rodgers has described Mario Balotelli as a "big talent" ahead of Liverpool's pre-season match against AC Milan. The Serie A side's striker had been linked with a return to the Premier League this summer following speculation that Arsenal were trying to sign him, but manager Arsene Wenger has dismissed the rumours.

Carl Jenkinson has revealed that he is eager to make a good impression at West Ham United after joining the club on loan from Arsenal. The 22-year-old defender moved to Upton Park on Saturday, signing a season-long deal with the Hammers.

Thanks Jack! Southampton striker Pablo Osvaldo is expected to be leaving the club before the end of the transfer window, and he seems to be confirming that the move is all but done, stating that the "cannot wait" to start working for Inter Milan coach Walter Mazzarri.

There's been much speculation surrounding the future of Arsenal striker Joel Campbell following his eye-catching performances at the World Cup. The Costa Rica international is yet to play for the club, having had several spells on loan in recent years. Galatasaray have been interested in the forward, but their president says that Arsene Wenger will not let Campbell leave the Gunners.

Wilfried Zaha has failed to find a regular place in the Manchester United team since his move to Old Trafford. It would appear that he is keeping his options open this transfer window, reportedly agreeing terms with three other sides.

Dutch international Memphis Depay is another player that has been linked with a move as a result of his performances at the World Cup this summer. The 20-year-old has been linked with Tottenham and Manchester United, and has said that he will listen to any offer.

In Spain, Barcelona are reportedly looking to sell right-back Dani Alves. The La Liga side are keen to offload him now rather than risk losing him on a free when his contract is up next summer.

As you've probably already heard, Frank Lampard could be on his way back to the Premier League, albeit temporarily, with Manchester City reportedly trying to bring him in from New York City FC on loan. The chairman of the Chelsea Supporters Group, Trizia Fiorellino, has insisted that the club's fans will be supportive if the 36-year-old does return to England.

Southampton are in need of a few new players following the departure of five members of their squad already this summer. It appears that Inter Milan midfielder Ezequiel Schelotto could be on his way to St Mary's, but his agent reveals that they are waiting for the Italian club to finalise the deal.

Queens Park Rangers have been linked with a number of players in the last couple of days. Well according to Juventus, they've added to their squad this afternoon, as the Italian side have announced that Mauricio Isla will spend the season on loan with the London side.

Ricky van Wolfswinkel has been undergoing a medical with French side Saint-Etienne this weekend ahead of a proposed loan spell there. According to reports, the Norwich City striker has passed the tests, so should be on his way out of Carrow Road in the coming days.

Paraguayan striker Oscar Cardozo appears to be on the move. He's been linked with West Ham United, but Trabzonspor have confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Benfica over the sale.

Gary Medel is expected to leave Cardiff City before the end of the window, and this afternoon it has emerged that he may have agreed a deal with Inter Milan.

The Football League kicks off in just a week, leaving the 72 clubs outside of the Premier League with just seven days to add to their squad for the start of the season. However, Swindon Town manager Mark Cooper has revealed that he is no closer to completing any new signing.

Well that's all from me this evening, but Mark Langshaw will be here for the next four hours to keep you up to date.

Thanks, Sian! There's plenty of pre-season action going on this evening in addition to the Commonwealth Games, but I'll be delivering live updates on the latest comings and goings in the transfer market right here.

Former Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Bosnich has weighed in on the matter of whether Petr Cech will still be a Blue next season. He believes that the veteran stopper is certain to leave Stamford Bridge if he is forced to play second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois.

Barcelona and Brondby are reportedly involved in a two-horse race for Liverpool defender Daniel Agger. The arrival of Dejan Lovren from Southampton has cast doubt on the Dane's future at Anfield. Barca is obviously the more glamorous destination, but Brondby would be a homecoming for the player.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has denied reports that the club has made a formal approach for Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira. The Frenchman admitted that he is interested in the player, but Chelsea are said to be the frontrunners for his services.

It's been relatively quiet in terms of transfer news this evening, but there were a couple of big stories earlier on. Queens Park Rangers have signed Mauricio Isla on loan from Juventus and Manchester City are understood to be in negotiations to take Frank Lampard on loan from New York City FC in a move that is sure to irk Chelsea fans!

That's all from me for this evening, but I'm leaving you in the capable hands of Chris O'Keefe, who will bring you all of the latest rumblings from the transfer market until 2am.

Cheers Mark! Yes, still plenty of transfer gossip left before we shut up shop at Sports Mole towers for the evening. We'll start in the Championship where Brentford boss Mark Warburton has blasted Wigan Athletic for their "unacceptable" bid for Adam Forshaw.

Before we delve too far into the world of transfers, I should draw your attention to tonight's pre-season friendly between Liverpool and AC Milan. Shane Callaghan will take you through the action, with kick-off fast approaching.

DONE DEAL! Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that Frank Lampard will join the Premier League champions on-loan until January.

Speaking of new signings, one of Liverpool's new recruits has missed a penalty. Rickie Lambert saw his spot kick saved midway through the first half of their friendly with AC Milan. Remember Sports Mole are bringing you live commentary of the game in Charlotte.

Meanwhile, Cesc Fabregas has been hailed as the "missing piece" in Chelsea's push for a Premier League title. That's according to manager Jose Mourinho.

Liverpool's shopping spree shows little sign of abating. The Liverpool Echo is reporting that Javier Manquillo, 20, is due on Merseyside for a medical ahead of a possible two-year loan deal.

On the subject of Liverpool, the Reds reached the final of the International Champions Cup with ease after beating AC Milan 2-0. Goals from Joe Allen and Suso proved to be enough.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has warned potential suitors Paris Saint-Germain that neither Oscar or Eden Hazard will be sold.

He told the Daily Star: "One will go from the squad that we have now – but I have yet to decide who. But it won't be a senior player."
