Chelsea's Dutch defender Ian Maatsen impressed on loan for Borussia Dortmund last season, but is being sold to Premier League rivals Aston VillaEverton, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Newcastle fans might have woken up on Saturday and mistakenly thought it was transfer deadline day.
But it wasn't 1 September, it was a normal Saturday in June. And one thing all four of these busy clubs have in common? Concerns over their Premier League 'Profit and Sustainability' position as they approach the 30 June accounting deadline.And BBC Sport knows of at least one club that is so concerned it intends to raise the matter with the Premier League.
The third area of debate is the valuations of some of the players. Take Kellyman for instance. Chelsea rate the England Under-20 international very highly. "However, if a swap deal is made there is nothing to stop the 'official' price to be £28m and £30m," explains Maguire. But earlier this month, the Premier League failed in an attempt to stop the use of profits from the sale of fixed assets like training grounds and stadiums being used in PSR calculations, with nine clubs voting against any rule change.
But what of other Premier League clubs? We spoke to several and they seemed split. One told BBC Sport that the deals were "wrong and should not be allowed". Another said the transfers "made a mockery of the rules" and that it would be asking the Premier League for its observations.
