  • Bundesliga-bound: Coke.

    There is now less than a fortnight remaining until the start of the new season for many of Europe’s biggest sides and the finishing touches are being put to squads who it is hoped can guide them to glory.

    After weeks of speculation, the done deals are now beginning to flow in en-masse.

    Sport360 rounds-up the biggest of the day’s transfer news.

    Coke, Sevilla to Schalke, €5 million (Fee Agreed)

    The Sevilla captain and 2015/16 Europa League final hero is just a medical away from making the switch to the Bundesliga.

    This continues the exodus from Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, which includes Ever Banega, Grzegorz Krychowiak and Kevin Gameiro.

    Miguel Veloso, Dynamo Kiev to Genoa, free (Done Deal)

    The midfielder has taken the decision to return to Genoa, four years after leaving them for the riches on offer at Ukraine’s Dynamo Kiev. He comes back on a free transfer.

    The 30-year-old will now hope to force his way back into the Portugal fold.

    Diafra Sakho, West Ham to West Brom, €18.9 million (Fee Agreed)

    An end to the Senegal striker’s misery at West Ham appears in sight, with Sky Sports reporting a move to West Bromwich is close.

    The 26-year-old has put in a transfer request, easing the exit of a player who has scored 15 goals in 38 Premier League games.

    Simone Zaza, Juventus to AC Milan, loan (Reported)

    A marriage of convenience could see the Italy striker head to Milan, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

    With Gonzalo Higuain secured and Gabriel Barbosa targeted, starts will be limited at Juve. Milan are also struggling for funds, so a loan deal could be struck.

    Jonny Evans, West Brom to Arsenal, €17.8 million (Reported)

    Shock target: Jonny Evans.

    Shock target: Jonny Evans.

    The centre-back has been revitalised since he left Manchester United last summer and this form has seen Arsenal turn to him as a replacement for the injured Per Mertesacker, according to the Daily Mirror.

    A return to the big time will surely be alluring.
