BRENTFORD 3-1 SOUTHAMPTON - DOMINIC HOGAN AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM: Aaron Ramsdale suffered a nightmare debut for Southampton as Brentford thrashed the newly-promoted side. The brilliant Bryan Mbeumo struck twice either side of the break, both times punishing Southampton's wayward passing out the back, before Yoane Wissa pounced on a Ramsdale mistake to make it 3-0 on 69 minutes. Yukinari Sugawara's consolation goal in added time was just reward for his fine work but the muted celebrations spoke volumes.

Multiple Premier League players have teamed up with TNT Sports to let fans know exactly how their names should be pronounced. A video published by the broadcaster featured 15 players and three managers reading out their own names while facing the camera. Among the players to feature in the video were Manchester United's new £36.5million striker Joshua Zirkzee, Arsenal's new £42m defender Riccardo Calafiori and two Chelsea summer signings in Marc Guiu and Tosin Adarabioyo. New Liverpool boss Arne Slot also made an appearance, along with fellow managers Sean Dyche and Nuno Espirito Santo. The other stars involved in the video were Erling Haaland, Bruno Fernandes, Tomas Soucek, Wout Faes, Vladimir Coufal, Iliman Ndiaye, Niclas Fullkrug, Ben Brereton Diaz, Yukinari Sugawara, Tim Iroegbunam and Stephy Mavididi.

Southampton will welcome Villareal's Ben Brereton Diaz to St Mary's this summer, are securing the forward's signature a reported £7million. The Chilean international has agreed personal terms with the Saints, and will join on a four-year deal. Brereton Diaz is the second signing for the south-coast club, who gained promotion back to the Premier League from the Championship via the play-offs, last season. 

SIMON JONES: Fulham have researched Atalanta's Duvan Zapata, who was unable to appear on a loan to Roma this week. Despite signing former Wolves star Raul Jimenez this summer, Marco Silva's side is still searching for a new striker following Aleksandar Mitrovic's £46 million transfer to Saudi giants Al-Hilal. Zapata, who like Mitrovic is a traditional goal forward, was on the verge of signing for Roma on loan this summer, but the Colombian reportedly expressed doubts and the contract was cancelled at the 11th hour.

The Cottagers are keen on a move to the Premier League club, with one of them said to be keen on a return to the Japan national team. Although a deal on personal terms is unlikely to be a point, both clubs are yet to be decided on.
