MATT BARLOW: The Manchester City farm shop has been brisk once more in the summer season. For the second year in a row, Carlos Borges, Shea Charles to Southampton, and James Trafford to Burnley have all been a mainstay of the market. Academy graduates in the city are paid a large sum. Sometimes without kicking a ball at the high level.

Josh Adam could be one of the first academy products to leave Manchester City with a renewed sense of excitement for him from clubs in France and Belgium. Lorient, who attempted to sign attacking midfielder Adam in January, Lille, and Club Brugge are all keen on signing the 19 year-old this summer. After impressing across Europe at the youth level, Scotland's under-21 international Adam joined City from Celtic three years ago and is tipped for a promising future for the club and the world.

The 19-year-old midfielder from Northern Ireland has signed a four-year contract. Following the trade of free agent Ryan Manning, the Saints have made Charles his second signing in under new manager Russell Martin's tenure.

Ruben Selles, Southampton's manager, admits that time is running out on his relegation-threatened side ahead of a challenging ride to Premier League champions Arsenal. The division's bottom club returns from safety with seven games to go on the back of a six-match winless streak.

Since Joe Shields, Southampton's head of recruitment, was 'not a big loss,' Ralph Hasenhuttl has said. Shields has been heavily linked to a move to west London, with the former Crystal Palace, Fulham, and Manchester City employee being credited with a large part of the Saints' outstanding recruiting activity during the summer. Hasenhuttl has denied allegations that Shields would be a big loss and has said that his team would not be affected by it.

Chelsea is ending their search by naming Southampton's Joe Shields to head up the team. Shields has only been at Southampton since the summer, beginning as their head of senior recruitment in July. However, Chelsea's new owners have already bolstered his image in his brief time at St Mary's, leading to a surprise move for his employees.

And as it is just seven games into the Premier League season, it has been off to a brisk start at both ends of the table as the season gets underway. Some of the top teams have been indifferent form, although a few so-called smaller teams have punched above their weight, leaving a few questions open. Any Premier League team has played well in the early stages, from free scoring Manchester City to crisis club Leicester, and have been rated how they have fared so far.

Chelsea made a £50 million bid for Romeo Lavia on deadline day, just two months after Southampton agreed to the 18-year-old, according to a Times. Southampton purchased the Belgian youth international from Manchester City for £14 million in July, and he scored his first Premier League goal in the Saints' 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Tuesday. According to the Southern Daily Echo, the Blues' scramble to sign players before the transfer window closed on September 1, they made a £50 million offer for the defensive midfielder, which was rejected by Southampton.

POWER RANKINGS: With some particularly striking results, the first midweek round of Premier League fixtures offered up a lot of goals, excitement, joy, and despair, with some of whom were particularly impressive. Arsenal continued their undefeated run with a 2-1 win over Aston Villa, Manchester City remained hot on their tail with a 6-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest, and Liverpool's comeback 2-1 victory over Newcastle was another bit of drama. Southampton shocked Chelsea 2-1, with Manchester United's revival under Erik ten Hag's leadership winning their third straight victory over Leicester 1-0, but Brighton lost their unbeaten run after losing 2-1 to Fulham. Crystal Palace, Brentford, West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur, and Leeds and Everton lost 1-1 draws, with Bournemouth bouncing out a goalless draw against Wolves. Julian Alvarez, Martin Odegaard, Erling Haaland, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Raheem Sterling (left-right) all impressed - but who else caught the eye from an individual perspective?
