NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT brings you the latest transfer news from the Premier League.
Simon Mignolet has signed a new Liverpool deal while young midfielder Allan Allan Rodrigues de Souza has left the club on loan.
Mignolet has signed until 2021 despite a string of unconvincing performances.
“I’m very pleased that I can be at Anfield and a part of Liverpool for a long future. I’m happy to commit my future to LFC,” Mignolet said.
“I know signing a new contract comes with new responsibility. I’m getting older as well and coming into the years where people would say those are the years a ‘keeper is at his best.
“I know with a long-term contract, you get more responsibility – and I want to take up that role because I’m the sort of character that wants to be a leader, wants to speak in the dressing room and wants to help the defence.
“I’ll try to work hard together with the goalkeeping coach and staff here, who are behind me and have given their confidence with a new contract.
“I would like to thank them for that – but you can’t really do that with words, you have to do that with performances on the pitch. And that’s what I’ll try to show.”
Barcelona have entered the race to sign Everton defender John Stones.
Sky Sports report that the Spanish side are weighing up an incredible £50million move for the England defender.
Stones stayed at Everton this summer despite big interest from Chelsea.
The Blues were ready to pay £37m but were knocked back with four offers.
However Barca may look to capitalise on the west London club's struggles this season by tabling a bumper bid in the summer.

Manchester United have confirmed the sale of midfielder Liam Grimshaw.
The 20-year-old, who spent the first half to the season on loan at Motherwell, has joined Preston on a two-and-a-half-year deal.
The England under-18 international admits the time had come for him to search for first team football in England.
I have been at Manchester United a long time, but I am ready to move on and make a career for myself.
“I have really enjoyed my time at Motherwell and I would like to thank them for giving me the opportunity to play every week. It is a great club and I really enjoyed it there. The loan move has really benefitted me.
“This is a chance to get my career going. It is great to be back home in Lancashire and I am looking to get settled and start to kick on with my career.”
