Leeds vs Brentford pre-match centre

Tottenham's near-£400m summer rebuild was exposed as a mentality problem, not a money problem, as Roberto De Zerbi's side crashed 3-0 at Brentford with four debutants, including £100m man Sandro Tonali, all failing to make an impact.

BBC Sport's tactical breakdown of Roberto De Zerbi's rebuilt Tottenham looked promising until a 3-0 defeat at Brentford exposed the gap between pre-season patterns and Premier League reality, with De Zerbi himself admitting his side are 'not ready' and lacking fight.

Leeds United have agreed an £8.5m deal to sign Switzerland international Nico Elvedi from Borussia Monchengladbach, with a medical set for Monday just days before the Premier League opener at Nottingham Forest. The move also clears the way for Sebastiaan Bornauw's loan exit to Hamburg, underlining a squad reshuffle rather than a simple addition.

Manchester City have signed World Cup finalist Geronimo Rulli from Marseille for £1.7m as backup to Gianluigi Donnarumma, replacing James Trafford after his up-to-£45m move to Leeds. The deal underlines City's shrewd squad economics rather than marquee ambition.

Ken Bates, the former Chelsea and Leeds United owner and chairman, died aged 94. Club statements and independent obituaries document both his role in preserving Stamford Bridge and a controversial, financially complex career.
