Boss Marco Silva is putting all his energy into improving his backline after watching his side concede 10 in their last three pre-season matches.

He knows a deal for Rojo remains optimistic with Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille and Zenit all interested, as revealed exclusively by SunSport.

And he could turn his attention to Smalling who Manchester United would be willing to sell.

Lindelof could head to Goodison Park on loan, according to Team Talk.

The Red Devils would be willing to let either of them leave if they manage to get a deal over the line for Toby Alderweireld.

Alderweireld is believed to be closing in on a £60million switch to Old Trafford before Thursday’s deadline.

Any move for a United player won’t prevent Everton from attempting to land Barcelona’s Yerry Mina.

The Colombian is reportedly holding talks with the club after the two clubs agreed on a £28.5million deal.

Fantasy football tips: Chelsea’s David Luiz could be the most important selection you make this Premier League season

Fantasy football is a strange old game.

When you partner that with the wonderfully unpredictable nature of the Premier League, it makes Dream Team one of the most entertaining aspects of the season.

Just one of the many subplots that will be rumbling on this season is the fate of David Luiz at Chelsea and whether or not he can successfully make a comeback from being left out in the cold.

Luiz was once a favourite of Dream Team managers, as the 31-year-old had a bit of everything to offer on fantasy football.

The Brazilian’s sporadic nature on the pitch made him an unpredictable entity who we all just couldn’t help but love watching.

The Brazilian was once a fantasy football favourite

The Chelsea man was a stalwart figure in Antonio Conte’s title winning side of 2016/2017, playing and starring in almost every game for the Blues.

Luiz however made just ten appearances for Chelsea in all competitions last season after a serious knee injury ruled him out of action.

Rumours of a training ground bust-up with Conte were also rife, as his long-term future at the club looked uncertain.

Luiz has however been given a new start under Maurizio Sarri and could be able save his Chelsea career from the brink of collapse.

When he was at his peak at Chelsea, Luiz was a hit on fantasy football, forming part of a rock-solid defence that rarely leaked goals.

The Brazilian also bizarrely posed a significant goal threat from corners and occasionally a direct strike from a free-kick.

Luiz picked up a whopping 134 points in the 2016/17 fantasy football game, highlighting the impact he had that season.

The Brazilian’s impressive form that year is a stark contrast to his performances last season in which just earned just 36 points in fantasy football.

Luiz was constantly plagued by injury problems and as a result has seen his price drop significantly in this year’s game.

Luiz will cost Dream Team managers nothing but a drop in the ocean this season, with his price now as little as £3m.

The Brazilian is no doubt a gamble for Dream Team managers this year, however it is a gamble which, if it pays off, could help you to own your mates this season.

Do you take the risk?

SIGN UP NOW – It’s time to pick your fantasy football team for the new season How does Premier League fantasy football work?

Every single season the Premier League gets more intriguing – and playing Dream Team really is the perfect way to enhance your experience of it.

You’ll be assigned a total budget of £50m for each side you pick and you’ll be able pick a maximum of 10 free teams.

The Game Weeks run from Friday to Thursday, effectively meaning the new Game Week starts after the last Europa League games are completed.

You get three transfers a month on the first Friday of every month so using them wisely is essential.

Every player on the game will be assigned a price at the start of the season which will then vary and fluctuate on a weekly basis dependent on their performances.

For example, last season we valued Mo Salah at £4m at the start of the season but the Egyptian King rocketed to over £11m by the end after his stunning goalscoring form.

Why your first football kit will always have a special place in your heart

It’s a moment you never forget.

Either you badgered your parents to buy one for you, or you had a hand-me-down from a family member, or you nabbed it from the school lost property – we can all remember our first football shirt.

And with the release of the new ‘Your First Football Shirt’ book, it got us thinking about our memories of our first kit.

SIGN UP NOW – It’s time to pick your fantasy football team for the new season

So we asked around the office and wistfully remembered our first football shirts, why it was so special, and what became of it…

Jimmy Lloyd

It is 1994 and Jurgen Klinsmann is smashing 30 goals a season for Spurs.

A young Jimmy Lloyd, on the other hand, cannot even get into the Henley Boys U10 side.

Relegated to the bench, I thought it would be funny to get my first Spurs kit with my name… and the number 14 on the back.

The biggest mistake Henley Boys U10s ever made

Alan Sugar said he “wouldn’t wash his car” with this shirt when Klinsmann left for Bayern Munich.

My manager Nigel Blodwell didn’t seem so troubled when I made my own low-money exit!

Nigel Blodwell > Pep

Nick Elliott

I’m not entirely sure what my first shirt was as my dad bought me plenty before I’d even started school.

I had a Lazio shirt with Gazza’s number. I’ve seen pictures of me in a Luis Figo Barcelona shirt, and I definitely had a Leeds kit with No10 on the back for Gary McAllister.

News Group Newspapers Ltd All white, the original Galaticos[/caption]

I was the first ever football toddler hipster. The Leeds one perished as I wore it so often; it succumbed to a death by a thousand rips.

As far as I know, the others from my childhood, including the Lazio and Barca classics, are in a box in my Dad’s attic.

I must remember to dig them out at some point…

PA:Empics Sport Iconic[/caption]

Andrew Butler

My brother had the old classic yellow and black Arsenal JVC kit, which I always thought we shared.

My first actual kit would be Real Madrid shirt with ‘Raul 7’ on the back.

Reuters Unsuprisingly, wearing his shirt didn’t give you his talent[/caption]

Fake, of course, and I bought it from a local market in Italy, I seem to remember.

I didn’t have any affinity with Madrid or Raul, but it was the Siemens Mobile kit that was synonymous with the likes of Beckham and Ronaldo.

On the collar it said ‘Non-official replica’ and I thought it was a bit embarrassing, so I got a gluegun and stuck the collar down.

I was a peculiar child.

Samuel Gilbert

My first shirt was none other than the Arsenal goalkeeper kit from the 2001/02 season, with ‘Wright 24’ on the back.

I donned the rather hideous blue kit on every other visit to Highbury, as I had to share it with my brother so we would take turns to wear it.

News Group Newspapers Ltd The shirt was so good that the wind even tried to steal it[/caption]

The kit almost immediately lost its value after it became clear that Wright wasn’t quite the replacement to David Seaman I thought he would be.

I’m not too sure what became of the kit. Presumably my Dad flogged it off at a car-boot sale, perhaps to save his son from the embarrassment of being seen wearing it in public.

Adam Jones

My first football shirt was a knock off Portuguese kit around the Euro 2000 era with ‘Figo 7’ on the back.

My dad bought it from a market whilst on holiday in Portugal.

AP:Associated Press These flew off the racks in Portuguese tourist markets[/caption]

I can confirm I didn’t take it off for the entire trip – including in the pool – but it didn’t make it back to England with me because the strip was effectively ruined by the chlorine.

A heartbreaking, shortlived holiday romance.

AP:Associated Press The kit could withstand a two-footer from Paul Ince, but not swimming pools[/caption]

Liam Spencer

I donned ‘Harewood 10’ on the back of my first ever West Ham shirt, which was fittingly given to me on my 10th Birthday.

It was worn on outings to Upton Park, kickabouts with mates in the park, and pretty much any time I wasn’t forced to wear a school uniform.

Pleasingly I was able to pass it on to my younger cousin a few years ago when he started playing football.

News Group Newspapers Ltd A kit to pass down the generations[/caption]

Michael Golson

Rather boringly, I believe it was England’s red 2002 away shirt.

I was just getting into football at the time, and with the excitement of that summer’s World Cup, my parents bought me one.

I definitely got way more use out of it than Sven’s boys did, as I recall wearing it a lot on holiday the summer after.

There’s a good chance it ended up going to Oxfam.

PA:Press Association Model behaviour[/caption]

Sean Cook

My first shirt ever was the 1997-1999 Spurs home kit, made by Pony and sponsored by Hewlett Packard.

Worn by heroes like Jurgen Klinsmann and David Ginola, the shirt often appears in a lot of memorable Spurs moments, which is why it’ll always be one of my favourites.

PA:Press Association When Spurs used to be half decent[/caption]

Bought for me by my Dad, he was, like most footballing Dads, very keen to make me a Tottenham fan as early as humanly possible.

The fact it came from him makes it as special to me as it did to him back then.

‘Your First Football Shirt’ is available to purchase here, and features the likes of Dream Team’s own Alan Shearer, Dwight Yorke and loads of football legends talking about their kits. 

Also, proceeds go to the excellent CALM and The Willow Foundation, so you’ll be doing the world a favour by buying it too.
