Aston Villa agree deal for Crespo, Jovetic on the move and all today's transfer gossip

Manchester United and PSG are also being linked with moves for Cristiano Ronaldo.

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?

Arrivederci: Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szszesny is set to join Roma on a season-long loan after he announced the move on his Instagram account. Speaking in Italian, he said: “Good evening Giallorossi. I am very happy because I am going to Roma tomorrow. I’ll see you soon.”

Done deal: Inter Milan have confirmed on the club’s official Twitter account this morning that Manchester City striker Steven Jovetic is close to completing a deal. Sky sources are reporting that Jovetic will undergo a medical today and then put pen-to-paper on a two-year loan deal.

Dutch of class: Olympiakos midfielder Ibrahim Affelay is having a medical at Stoke, according to Sky Sports. The Dutch international played 29 times for the Greek champions last year, scoring six goals.

No, not that one: Aston Villa have reached an agreement with Segunda Division side Cordoba for the transfer of right-back José Ángel Crespo. Córdoba announced the move on their official Twitter account this morning, saying: “Córdoba and Aston Villa have reached an agreement for the transfer of José Ángel Crespo to the English team.”

No stone unturned: Chelsea are preparing an improved £26m offer for Everton’s John Stones, according to the Daily Telegraph. The Daily Mail are also reporting that Chelsea aim to complete the deal before Sunday’s Community Shield, although that may be a tad optimistic.

Real intent: Spanish website Fichajes claims that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to make an increased bid for Real Madrid striker Karim Benezema after an initial offer of £31m was reportedly rejected by the Spanish giants.

Top Drog: Chelsea legend Didier Drogba may have found his next club. ESPN are reporting that Montreal Impact have acquired the MLS rights for Drogba from Chicago Fire and are now poised to sign the Ivorian.

Familiar face: Louis Van Gaal told Sky Sports that he believes Manchester United need to sign a superstar to help achieve his ambition of winning the Premier League before he leaves the club in two years. Although he declared his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo, highlighting him as the kind of player they would be looking at, he said the former United man may be out of his reach.

In demand: But Ronaldo may not be out of the reach of Paris St-Germain. Real Madrid have rejected a formal offer of £84m from PSG for the 30-year-old forward, according to several Middle Eastern newspapers.
