Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE blog dedicated to the latest breaking transfer news, gossip and rumours.
Arsenal captain Laurent Koscielny has cast serious doubt over his longterm future at the club after refusing to go on the club's pre-season tour.
The French defender has just 12 months remaining on his contract, and negotiations are believed to have stalled.
Meanwhile, Standard Sport understands that Real Madrid are looking to sell Gareth Bale, Isco and FOUR other players in order to fund deals for either Paul Pogba or Christian Eriksen.

Meanwhile, West Ham have launched an audacious move to sign Gonzalo Higuain on loan, according to Sky Sports Italia, and The Sun claim that Diego Costa, another former Premier League striker, is a target for Everton.
Tottenham continue to hunt for further additions, with Dani Olmo and Dani Ceballos reported targets, while 90Min claim Juan Mata rejected £550,000 a week to move to China.
