While Thauvin looks set to come in, Keita Balde Diao has not travelled with Simone Inzaghi’s squad for their pre-season friendly with Brighton this afternoon, suggesting that he is on the verge of moving elsewhere.

Meanwhile, the transfer of Antonio Candreva to Inter could also be completed on Sunday.
