Whatever happened to Archie Gray? Deal was supposedly done. Leeds fans got upset. Then it seems their bosses got cold feet sending him across to West London 


Rumours that Wolves are looking at Yoanne Wissa with a price of £25m being touted


Is Ivan Toney really going to Saudi Arabia for lots and lots of money?
