Breaking news coming in at the close of the transfer window with Chelsea confirming the signing of Raul Meireles from Liverpool. Chelsea had a late £40 million bid for Luka Modric rejected by Tottenham Hotspur and seemingly turned their attention to Meireles, who has been unhappy at his role as substitute for Liverpool so far this season.

Raul Meireles actually handed in a transfer request 30 minutes before the window was due to shut, obviously desperate to push his move to Chelsea through. This will be a good signing for Chelsea, and Liverpool may rue his departure as he was one of their star performers last season in a very average Liverpool side…
