UPDATE: Barcelona beat Liverpool
Barcelona have beaten fellow suitors Liverpool to the signing of Brazilian right-back Emerson.
But the move is complicated, with Marca claiming Real Betis and Barca have struck a joint deal to snap up the 20-year-old.
Emerson will join Betis but Barca have paid part of his transfer fee, in order to secure first refusal to any move in the future.
Liverpool reportedly had scouts watching Emerson over the past few months but a deal with Betis is now in place.
UPDATE: Leeds eye big deal
Leeds United want to sign Ivan Cavaleiro from Wolves.
That is according to Birmingham Live, who claim the West Yorkshire club could make an offer for Cavaleiro before the month is out.
Leeds are gunning for promotion this season and Cavaleiro, 25, has made just 16 appearances for Wolves this term.
He was part of their Premier League promotion campaign last season and the playmaker could be given the chance to play elsewhere if a suitable offer comes in.
