Besiktas try to rescue Ziyech (Schira)

Hakim Ziyech is said to be devastated after his loan to Paris Saint-Germain from Chelsea collapsed due to clerical errors from the Blues, but he may still have a way out of Stamford Bridge.

Nicolo Schira says Besiktas have called Chelsea about bringing Ziyech to Turkey, though high wages may complicate any potential transfer. The Super Lig's transfer window remains open for another week.

Lokonga speaks after loan from Arsenal

Albert Sambi Lokonga has explained his deadline loan from Arsenal to Crystal Palace, which doesn't include a buy option.

"It was not easy to leave Arsenal because as you can see they are top of the league," he told reporters. "But for me the important thing now was the confidence of Patrick Vieira."

Real Madrid want to buy Adeyemi (DefensaCentral)

Real Madrid are set to bid for Borussia Dortmund star Karim Adeyemi this summer, claims DefensaCentral, as Los Blancos see the 21-year-old forward as the ideal man to play opposite Vincius Junior for many years.

That reported interest comes despite a rough first year in the Bundesliga for Adeyemi. He's battled foot injuries and managed just one league goal, scored last weekend, in his debut season in 14 appearances.

Perhaps Real Madrid feel they can pry the German forward away from Dortmund at a cut-price rate, however such a move would be risky without first seeing him produce more in the black and yellow.
