SAUL NIGUEZ - CHELSEA

Saul called the Blues a 'great f***ing team' when he was confirmed as a Chelsea player.

The West Londoners clinched a season long loan move for Niguez after days of haggling with Atletico.

The switch is a loan with a view to a permanent £35m deal at the end of the season.

HECTOR BELLERIN - REAL BETIS

Right-back Bellerin joined boyhood club Real Betis on a season-long loan after the Gunners struck a deal to sign Bologna right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu.

The Spanish star, 26, was the Gunners' longest-serving player but had been linked with a move away all summer.

But Betis fans will have to wait until Monday night to see him in the green and white when they travel to Granada in a 9pm kick-off.

 

SHKODRAN MUSTAFI - LEVANTE

He's been handed a career lifeline by Spanish side Levante.

EMERSON ROYAL - TOTTENHAM

Spurs' new right-back, 22, only arrived at Barca earlier this summer - having spent two years on loan at Real Betis.

He finally made his first start for the club at the end of August, only to be told just one day later he would be sold to Spurs for £26m.

After claiming he was 'kicked-out' by Nou Camp chiefs, he could be handed his Tottenham debut in Saturday's lunch-time kick-off against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
