Chelsea's plan for new signing Facundo Buonanotte has been revealed after signing the Argentine midfielder on a season-long loan deal from Brighton on deadline day.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has rubbished claims he tried to strong-arm the club into keeping Marc Guehi by threatening to quit.
