Man City plotting late Enzo Fernandez swoop as Chelsea eye Scott replacement

So, the rumour mill's churning. City, they're supposedly set for a final-window push for Fernandez. A dramatic, last-gasp dive into the market. The Telegraph had it first: City's coming back with another bid for the midfielder. And The Independent? They're saying Chelsea's got their contingency plans ready, apparently eyeing Bournemouth's Alex Scott. Don't say they weren't prepared.

Down the road, Aston Villa apparently wants a piece of Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson. They've dangled a £65m package. Could be a real headache in west London. Villa's making this play while their own star, Ollie Watkins, is wondering what's next. The Telegraph claims Watkins could bag £12m a year if Al Hilal wraps up a deal this final week. Money talks, doesn't it?

Elsewhere, Newcastle's chucked £35m at Lille for winger Matias Fernandez-Pardo. And Tottenham? They're closing in on a cool £400m summer spend, chasing Manchester City's Omar Marmoush. That's some serious cash. Brentford's also busy, pushing for West Ham's left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf.

Further down the food chain, PAOK is ready to scrap with Celtic for Ermin Mahmic. And Aberdeen? Forget about them going back for St Mirren's Killian Phillips. Not unless the Scottish club drastically chops that £500,000 valuation. Some clubs know when to walk away.
