Silva on Joachim Andersen

“It’s very close. It’s difficult to be talking about it because it’s not official but it’s close. I think he’s a great signing and a player who is loved by this club. He’ll bring something important for us.”

Gary O'Neil 🗣️

"I've seen some of the noise and there's not really a financial limit, it's whether the deals are right. We can definitely do stuff before the end of the window, it just needs to be right for the club. I've not heard any figure in my meetings." #wwfc pic.twitter.com/jn2bs5Wcmz

🗣️ Enzo Maresca says Pedro Neto may not play against Wolves but Joao Felix could feature.

"Pedro, last played 90 minutes in February. Playing 65 or 60 minutes [against Servette], to give him another game on Sunday is probably too early but we'll see.

Eddie Howe on the captaincy:

"Jamaal [Lascelles] has been promoted to club captain, so he’s going to oversee the other captains. He’s an incredible leader behind-the-scenes, and Kieran [Trippier] and Dan [Burn] in the leadership group continue their roles. Bruno has stepped up… pic.twitter.com/zmp2VGArDT

Arteta on Nketiah:
I expect Eddie to train with us today. To be prepared for tomorrow. Whatever happens will happen if it’s good for everybody.

— Kaya Kaynak (@kayakaynak97) August 23, 2024

Eddie Howe on Kieran Trippier future: "It’s business as usual. Tripps has trained really well this week. I’m surprised at a lot of stories that have come out. He continues to be really valued by all of us. My wish is that he stays. But I can never answer with absolute certainty"

— Craig Hope (@CraigHope_DM) August 23, 2024

Slot on Quansah: "Spoke to him immediately after the game and on Sunday. On Tuesday he picked up a bit of a injury so let's see if he can train today. I just said he lost one or two important duels."

— James Pearce (@JamesPearceLFC) August 23, 2024

Slot on Gomez: Head has been in right pace for last three weeks. He didn't play a lot in the Euros so he couldn't train properly when he came back so we had to manage his load, that's why he didn't play

— Ian Doyle (@IanDoyleSport) August 23, 2024

Slot asked about Mamardashvili: "I think you know already the answer. If a deal is done you will hear from us."

— David Lynch (@davidlynchlfc) August 23, 2024

Slot bothered by no signings?: No as I trust the team. We have a team of many young players as well who can develop. We just try to work as hard as we can with them. They proved last week they have earned the trust and hope they do that again
