Hello and welcome to Sport Mole's transfer blog for August 22. Getting straight into it, there have been some big reports emerging overnight, linking Juventus's Paul Pogba with a move to Chelsea. Could it happen? Stay with us throughout the day and we will keep you updated on all the news and speculation.

Here is another one of those big reports that was revealed overnight. In quite an audacious bid since losing out on Pedro to Chelsea, Manchester United are reportedly in talks with Barcelona's Neymar, as they look to strengthen their front three. The former Santos man has only been at Camp Nou since 2013 but could a big money move to the Premier League entice him?

Some potentially big news for Sheffield Wednesday fans. Reports are suggesting that the Owls are looking to bring Gary Hooper in on a season-long loan from Norwich City and are apparently offering £1.7m to make it happen. Read about it here.

On Friday morning, West Bromwich Albion looked ready to sign Tottenham Hotspur defender Federico Fazio, but things appear to have changed at The Hawthorns, with Manchester United centre-back Jonny Evans now said to be a target. Read more here.

Luton Town have freed up some space in their squad by allowing Andy Parry and Matt Robinson to leave the club on loan. Read more here.

Cardiff City winger Kadeem Harris has moved on loan to Barnsley. He'll stay there for the next three months.

Fulham are after a goalkeeper following Marcus Bettinelli's injury, and it looks like they could be welcoming Joe Lewis to the club on loan from Cardiff City.

This would be somewhat of a coup for Rangers. It has been rumoured for a few days but if reports are to be believed, Arsenal's Gedion Zelalem has joined the Scottish giants on loan. Read more here.

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal may have brought in five new players this summer, but the Dutchman has admitted that he is still looking to strengthen his squad before the end of the transfer window. Read more here.

Ryan Gauld hit the headlines when he made the move to Sporting Lisbon from Dundee United last summer, but if reports are to be believed, the Scottish youngster could be returning to these shores to sign on loan for Celtic. Read more here.

Reports have linked Liverpool midfielder Jordan Rossiter with a loan move away from Anfield, but boss Brendan Rodgers insists that the youngster is going nowhere. Read more here.

Andy Carroll has not played a game yet this season, but could he be leaving West Ham before the end of the transfer window? Europa League winners Sevilla are reportedly planning a surprise move for the striker, who has been plagued with injury problems since moving to Upton Park.

Victor Wanyama has watched so many key men leave Southampton in the last two summers, and the Kenyan could be the next midfielder to pack his bags. After being linked with Spurs this week, a report claims that Wanyama has asked to leave the club.

Manchester United fans have had few goals to cheer so far in the Premier League, but could that be about to change with some big signings? The club are reportedly interested in signing forwards Gareth Bale and Thomas Muller before the window closes.

Juventus have been linked with a number of attacking midfielders this summer, and the latest rumour suggests the Italian giants are considering an £18m move for Chelsea's Willian before the window closes.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has had a quiet transfer window so far, but he could be about to add defender Ramiro Funes Mori and winger Andriy Yarmolenko to his squad according to a report.

Gabriel Obertan and Yoan Gouffran have hardly set the world alight at St James' Park, and now Newcastle United are reportedly keen on offloading the French pair following the signing of Florian Thauvin.

Charlie Austin was one of few bright sparks for Queens Park Rangers last season, and Crystal Palace are reportedly keen on adding the 18-goal striker to their squad, despite previously baulking at his £15m asking price.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino has frequently expressed his desire to add a new striker this summer, and now the club has been linked to former AC Milan star Alexandre Pato.

It may be late, but there's still time for one more Manchester United story! Louis van Gaal is reportedly keen on signing Brazilian attacking midfielder Felipe Anderson from Lazio.
