Transfer latest: Baleba, Konsa and big-spending Ipswich
About this episode
With just two days until the new Premier League season starts, Manchester United have made their move for Carlos Baleba.
Emma Paton is joined by Jay Harris, Cerys Jones and Laurie Whitwell to discuss why after long term interest in the Brighton midfielder, the club are once again exploring a deal to sign him.
Plus, with the promoted sides having spent £330m between them already this summer, The Athletic's football finance correspondent Chris Weatherspoon drops by to answer how they're affording it and whether spending big is the key to staying up.
