Newcastle United
have signed Spain Under-21 international Jose Enrique from Spanish side Villarreal for £6.3m.

The 21-year-old left-back, who watched the Magpies beat Sampdoria 1-0 on Sunday, has agreed a five-year deal.

Meanwhile the deal between West Ham and Newcastle for Kieron Dyer seems to have fallen apart over valuation. Dyer was all set to join the Hammers for around £6 million but then Newcastle suddenly realized that they had under-valued the player their playe and demanded a further £2million causing West Ham to pull out of the move.

West Ham were pretty furious after the sudden price hike and still seem to be interested in signing Dyer - but will not go above the £6 million mark.

Mido still seems to be in demand. After not being able to agree personal terms with Birmingham there were rumours that he might have to stick around for some more time at Spurs – but Roy Keane is interested in signing Mido for Sunderland as he gets ready for his rookie season as a Premiership boss.

Sunderland face competition from Fulham – who were linked with Mido at the start of the summer, but a move did not materialize.

At Old Trafford, the transfer saga of Gabriel Heinze continues. due back to training with Manchester United today, and he's held face-to-face talks with Sir Alex Ferguson in a bid to resolve the row over his proposed move to Liverpool.

Over at Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson's is keen to sign a Goal Keeper soon and The Manchester Evening News claims that Scott Carson and Carlo Cudicini are his top targets.

Everton seem to have won the race to sign left-back Leighton Baines. Baines is expected to complete the switch from Wigan on Tuesday after he agreed personal terms and underwent a medical. The deal is around the £5million mark.

Over at Chelsea – who seem to be a little rattled with numerous injuries topped with the FA Community Shield defeat to Manchester United...
Michael Ballack has insisted that he won't be leaving Chelsea and that he has had "no contact with Real Madrid whatsoever". Reports that Barcelona were mounting a fresh move for Frank Lampard have been denied by the Catalans.

At Bolton, Senegalese forward El-Hadji Diouf is heard to be pushing for a move to Lyon. The 26-year-old joined from Liverpool around two years back but has reportedly been considering his future at the Reebok since the departure of Sam Allardyce, who has apparently even made moves to lure him to Newcastle.
