OUTS: Olof Mellberg (Juventus - Free), Patrick Berger (Released), Thomas Sorensen (Released), Luke Moore (West Brom - £3M) Martin O'Neill still hopes to bring in more recruits ahead of Villa's Intertoto Cup clash with Odense on Saturday. O'Neill has agreed a fee for American goalkeeper Brad Guzan and the transfer will go through providing he is granted a work permit. There are yet to be any developments on the Gareth Barry saga though. However, the Villa skipper is now back in training. Arsenal are the latest club to show an interest as Liverpool suggest they may begin to look elsewhere.

BLACKBURN ROVERSINS: None

OUTS: Bruno Berner (Released), Peter Enckelman (Released), Stephane Henchoz (Released) Blackburn boss Paul Ince confirmed this week that the club have had an offer from Aston Villa for winger David Bentley.

Meanwhile Red Star Belgrade man Segundo Castillo has been offered a trial ahead of a possible £5 million move.

EVERTONINS: None OUTS: Lee Carsley (Released), Stefan Wessels (Released) Everton have been hit with the news that midfielder Tim Cahill will miss the start of the season.

INS: Glen Little (Reading - Free), Ben Sahar (Chelsea 6 Month Loan), Peter Crouch (Portsmouth - £11M) OUTS: None Harry Redknapp has spoken of his desire to sign diminutive Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips.
