Welcome back, Steven Gerrard: forget Europe, avoiding the drop is your priority | Jonathan Wilson
PODCAST: England beat Albania reaction, Dani Alves Barcelona transfer DONE, Norwich to offer Dean Smith job, Aguero latest
Dani Alves has completed an emotional free transfer back to Barcelona.
But his new team-mate Sergio Aguero is at risk of never playing football again after an irregular heartbeat was discovered.
The Argentina will have to sit out a minimum of three further months of action but it is touch and go as to whether we see the former Manchester City star on the field again.
Meanwhile Frank Lampard has rejected the chance to take over Norwich at the 11th hour.
As a result of the former Chelsea boss' decision, the Canaries are set to offer recently dismissed Aston Villa chief Dean Smith the manager's job.
Norwich sacked Daniel Farke last week, despite him earning a crucial first win of the season at Brentford away.
But one manager who will be going nowhere is England's Gareth Southgate.
The FA are set to tie Southgate down to a new deal which will take him through to Euro 2024 and make him one of the highest paid Three Lions bosses ever.
We've also got all the latest on a potential transfer for Declan Rice as well as updates from Chelsea, who are eyeing a swoop for Attila Szalai in January.
