We kick-off with Football transfer news and Liverpool star-forward Fernando Torres is now a Chelsea player!

Torres’ move from Liverpool is a deal reported to be worth a British record £50 million-pounds.

The Spanish international has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract that puts his earnings on par with the highest paid players at Stamford Bridge - such as captain John Terry and Frank Lampard.

Staying at Anfield – Andy Carroll has become the most expensive English player in the history of football after joining Liverpool from Newcastle in a £35 million-pound deal.

Carroll who will now wear Torres’ #9 jersey will partner newly acclaimed Luis Suarez from Ajax.
