Chelsea have now agreed a fee with Leeds United for Lewis Bate. Medical and contract signing is tonight.
Brighton remain strong favourites for Tino Livramento. Expecting that one to go through soon too.

Very encouraging how gutted Chelsea fans are Tino is leaving.
Their academy player of the year too. Really hoping we get this one over the line.
Thought Bates was supposed to be their best player non-first team shame we could not have got him as well but I guess we can't take them all.
Does anyone have an Athletic sub who can confirm?

If you want the most accurate, in-the-know info you should be following [MENTION=37204]the[/MENTION]SecretScout_ on twitter or Instagram - I have no idea who they are but they certainly seem to have their finger on the pulse when it comes to the movements of young Chelsea talent (in particular), and young footballers in general.
This is going to sound like a BG tribute but is actually a genuine question - can he play Left Back? I ask as I read somewhere he can, but can’t see it referenced anywhere. I suspect after the success of the right footed left back in the Italy team - Spinazolla? - there may be a vogue for inverted full backs.
Yes. In a couple of those youtube highlights he is playing left back.
But evidence, and [MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION], suggest that Potter only likes his fullbacks/wingbacks to play on thier dominant side.
