League One side Walsall have made their second international signing in 24 hours by bringing in Philippines keeper Neil Etheridge on a two-year deal.

Following the acquisition of Cyprus defender Jason Demetriou, Etheridge, 25, fills the gap left by Richard O'Donnell's move to Wigan Athletic.
The ex-Chelsea trainee, who has made just 20 Football League appearances, was released by Charlton in May.
"We had a number of good options but Neil stood out," said boss Dean Smith.
"He ticks all the boxes in age, room for development and experience at this level and above," said Smith.
He's an extremely driven young man who wants to be successful. These are the characteristics we're looking for.
"Neil will compete with Craig MacGillivray for a first-team place. They will both push each other on, exactly the kind of competition that we want."
Etheridge, who began his professional career at Fulham, added: "The faith that the gaffer and Neil Cutler (Walsall goalkeeping coach) have shown in me means a lot. Now is the time to get my head down and work hard.
"I have gained plenty of international experience in front of big crowds, but I've not played as many league games as I'd have liked. I intend to rectify that here."

A project to restore the last remaining steam tug-tender ship moored in Merseyside has been awarded £3.8m.

The Daniel Adamson, built in 1903, carried people and livestock between Ellesmere Port and Liverpool before being decommissioned in 1985.
A campaign by the Daniel Adamson Preservation Society (DAPS) saved the vessel from being scrapped in 2004.
The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded the money three years after rejecting a £2.8m bid by DAPS over cost concerns.
The society said the ship is one of two tug-tenders left in the UK and is the only steam-powered one.
Dan Cross, chairman and founder of DAPS, said: "This wonderful ship occupies a unique place as part of the UK's national historic fleet.
"This huge vote of support also acknowledges the massive effort put in by literally hundreds of volunteers and supporters over the last eleven years, without which the vessel would have been consigned to history years ago."
Daniel Adamson, which initially towed barges, was refitted with Art Deco saloons and an elevated promenade deck in 1936.
The ship, originally called the Ralph Brocklebank, was renamed Daniel Adamson after the first chairman of Manchester Ship Canal Company following the refurbishment.
Owners Manchester Ship Canal Company planned to scrap the vessel but it was sold for £1 in 2004.
Sara Hilton, head of the  North West Heritage Lottery Fund, said: "This is a vessel with a remarkable and important story to tell.
"This exciting project will bring exciting benefits to Liverpool and across the region, offering a valuable addition to what the area has to offer and delivering fantastic learning and training opportunities."
DAPS plan to restore the ship over five years so it can carry passengers across the North West.
Daniel Adamson is moored behind the Merseyside Maritime Museum in Liverpool's Albert Dock.


One of two men who absconded from an open prison in Sussex has been rearrested in Kent.

Lee Fudge, 29, who was serving a life sentence for robbery, was held by police in Gravesend on Saturday and has been charged with escaping custody.
He disappeared from Ford Prison, near Littlehampton, on Thursday with another inmate, Mark Chatfield.
Sussex Police said Chatfield, 39, who was jailed for four years in August 2014, was still at large.


Iran's President Hassan Rouhani has hailed "a new chapter" in French-Iranian relations during his visit to Paris to discuss trade ties.

Mr Rouhani agreed a number of major deals, including a â‚¬22bn ($24bn; Â£17bn) contract to buy 118 Airbus planes.
Earlier, French carmaker Peugeot said it had agreed a joint venture in Iran worth â‚¬400m.
Mr Rouhani's Europe tour comes after the lifting of international sanctions over Iran's nuclear programme.
Mr Rouhani's five-day visit to Italy and France is the first by an Iranian president in nearly two decades.
Iranian diplomats had reportedly requested that no wine be served at Mr Rouhani's lunch meeting with French President Francois Hollande, leading French officials to postpone the meeting until after lunch.
The Iranian president was received at a welcome ceremony on Thursday at the Invalides monument in Paris.
Mr Rouhani said: "The time is ripe for both countries to enhance their relations.
"Diplomacy at the negotiating table can be quite effective - it can through logic and prudence... resolve problems," he said.
It was an august setting to begin a new relationship.
In the sombre courtyard of the Invalides they walked together, two small figures against the expanse of stone and history. Black robes and tailored coat, side by side before the military band.
But the symbolism of this relationship is, for now, less important than the opportunities it offers. With European companies lining up for a share in the Iranian market, President Rouhani is marking his return from isolation with a shopping trip.
Top of his list in France is planes - badly needed to restore Iran's crumbling commercial aviation industry - and the resurrection of a joint-venture between French and Iranian carmakers.
Political locks may be harder to unpick.  Iranian memories are full of French support for Arab nations - including Tehran's arch-enemy in the Iran-Iraq war - and more recently of France's tough stance during the nuclear negotiations last year.
Both sides have said they want to begin a new chapter, and President Hollande is keen to talk to Mr Rouhani about the conflict in Syria, which the two leaders see very differently.
But when it comes to compromise, the boundaries are - for now - clearly drawn. Reports that the Iranian delegation requested all wine be removed from the table during President Rouhani's state reception were met with a polite invitation to meet Mr Hollande after lunch..
All new relationships have their awkward moments. This one at least contains a helpful lesson for their future relations: neither country enjoys deferring to outsiders.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the two countries were "being reunited".
"France has for a long time turned itself towards Iran, fascinated by its history, attracted by its culture, seduced by this great nation which is so incomparable," he said.
Mr Rouhani later held talks with his French counterpart Francois Hollande, and both leaders attended a ceremony where business deals were signed.
Mr Hollande stressed that the new relationship with Iran depended on Tehran keeping to the commitments it made in last month's international nuclear deal.
"Each stakeholder has got to respect their commitments. Therefore we must be able to ensure with all due attention that what was agreed can be realised. And that's a condition for everything."
Mr Rouhani insisted that his country would meet its obligations.
Iran is likely to need hundreds of new aircraft in the coming years as it re-establishes commercial air travel previously restricted by the sanctions.
Iranian state TV said earlier that as part of the deal with Airbus, 100 planes would be delivered to Iran over four years.
Meanwhile, Peugeot said it had signed a joint venue with local carmaker Khodro to manufacture cars in Iran.
Oil firm Total and rail company SNCF also announced deals with Iran.
Mr Rouhani's visit also sparked protests from activists over Iran's human rights record, and use of the death penalty.
One woman suspended herself from a bridge near the Eiffel Tower, with a banner reading: "Welcome Rouhani, executioner of freedom".


Sarah Palin has said she would like to serve as energy secretary in a Donald Trump administration - in order to abolish the department.

The former governor of Alaska and conservative activist told CNN that "energy is my baby".
"Oil and gas and minerals, those things that God has dumped on this part of the Earth for mankind's use," she said.
Mr Trump said in July he would be open to the possibility of Ms Palin serving in his government.
Ms Palin said she wanted individual states to "start having more control over the lands that are within their boundaries" with respect to their energy policy.
"If I were in charge of that, it would be a short-term job," she said.
Ms Palin also defended Mr Trump over recent criticism of gaps in his knowledge of foreign affairs.
"I think I'd rather have a president who is tough and puts America first than can win a game of Trivial Pursuit," she said.
"But I don't think the public gives a flying flip if somebody knows who, today, is a specific leader of a specific region or a religion or anything," she added.
Mr Trump has recently been leading polls for the Republican presidential nomination. Ms Palin was the Republican nominee for vice-president in 2008.


A total of 190 domestic violence incidents were reported to police in Northern Ireland over Christmas Day and Boxing Day last year.

The statistics have been highlighted by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) as part of its Christmas campaign against domestic violence.
The campaign was launched by Det Ch Supt George Clarke.
"The sad reality is that at this time of year, the number of domestic incidents increase," he said.
"On Christmas Day alone last year, there were 79 recorded incidents and on Boxing Day, there were 111," Mr Clarke said.
The officer, who is head of the PSNI's Public Protection Branch, described the figures as "shocking".
"It is also important to remember that all year round, police officers respond to an incident of domestic abuse every 19 minutes," Mr Clarke said.
The PSNI campaign will run throughout December and urges victims of domestic abuse to contact police on the non-emergency 101, or in an emergency, 999.
A 24-hour domestic and sexual violence helpline is also available on 0808 802 1414.


Friends of Keith Harris have joined his family at his funeral in Blackpool.

The ventriloquist, who, with his puppet duck Orville became a staple of Saturday night TV in the 1980s, died last month aged 67.
Mourners gathered at the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in his hometown to pay their respects.
The entertainer's fourth wife Sarah and her children attended the ceremony, alongside Coronation Street star Ken Morley and comedian Jimmy Cricket.
A floral tribute from the Nolan sisters read: "For Keith, a great pro, fantastic talent, [and] a lovely man who will be sorely missed"
Harris entertained generations of children with his sidekick Orville, a bright green duck who wore a nappy and spoke in a high-pitched voice.
He also gave life to the popular puppet Cuddles the monkey, whose catchphrase was 'I Hate That Duck!'.
At the height of his fame, he fronted The Keith Harris Show on BBC One and gave private performances at birthday parties for Prince William and his brother Harry, at the request of Diana, Princess of Wales.
His 1982 single, Orville's Song, was a top five hit, selling more than 400,000 copies.
Harris, who married four times and had three children, was first diagnosed with cancer in 2013 and became ill again in January.
He died in hospital in Blackpool on 28 April.


Northern Ireland may be better known for its backdrop to Game of Thrones than the magic of Harry Potter.

But students from Queen's University in Belfast have taken inspiration from J.K Rowling's literary series by setting up a novel sports society.
They play Quidditch - a magical sport played on flying broomsticks in the book and film series.
It was first adapted for muggles (or non-wizards) in 2005 by students at a university in Vermont, but has exploded in popularity over the last five years.
Thousands now play it across the world, with official rule books and international championships.
Queen's University's team was founded in September by Conor Ardill, a politics student.
He first tried the sport during his time as an undergraduate at the University of Manchester but, surprisingly, he isn't much of a Harry Potter fan.
"I actually first started playing because I lost a bet with somebody who was on the team, and resisted turning up for a year," he said.
"Lots of people who play really love Harry Potter, but I just really enjoy the sport."
The sport itself is best described as a hybrid of rugby and dodgeball.
It can appear chaotic to the casual observer but is governed by simple rules.
Aside from the obvious lack of flying, it remains quite true to the fictitious game - players even run with broomsticks between their legs.
It is a full-contact sport with seven players on each team - a keeper, three chasers (who score through the hoops to win 10 points), two beaters (who aim to hit opposite chasers with 'bludger' balls), and the seeker (responsible for chasing the 'golden snitch').
In the books the 'snitch' is described as a gold sphere with wings. But in the muggle version it is a runner dressed in yellow with a velcro tail attached to their shorts.
They enter the game in the 18th minute and try to evade capture. If a seeker grabs their tail they win 30 bonus points for their team.
Confused? Well its the quirkiness of the sport which is the appeal for many of the competitors.
Muggle Quidditch has taken off across the UK and about 50 universities now have a team.
There is even a national premier league as the sport establishes itself in its own right.
Queen's University Belfast Quidditch Club (QUBQC) are now ready to head to Manchester with members of the Dublin Draiochta Dragons (DDD) for their first tournament at the weekend.
Players will be trying out for the all-Ireland team in April, hoping to represent them at the International Quidditch Association's European Games in Oslo in July.
Club President Conor said Quidditch is designed to be accessible to all.
"With university sports such as GAA or rugby, if you haven't played at school level it's really hard to get involved," he said.
"It's a mixed gender sport with strict rules so every team has a combination of players from all different backgrounds.
"This evens the odds up, so you can't have six foot ex-rugby players playing against five foot newcomers."
The nature of the sport means substitutions are continual and players rotate, so players at all fitness levels can get involved.
Literature student Rachel Ireland had never considered playing university sports before:  "I hate going to the gym or running for the sake of it.
"It's great to be able to play a team sport that is just as much fun as it is a serious competition. It has everything in one.
"I only turned up at first to be polite, but got hooked on the sport in week one.  I was a wreck after the first session but it was such a buzz."
The physical nature of the game means players can expect to leave the pitch with bruises from tackles.
But they insist it worth it for the friends they make for across the quidditch community.
Physics student Aaron Morrison said: "It's not just the game -  a huge part of it is about meeting other teams and players.
"Everybody involved in it is as quirky as the sport itself. We haven't found a person yet who hasn't turned up and found something they loved and enjoyed."


Northampton have re-signed Millwall striker John Marquis on loan for the rest of the season following an Achilles injury for Marc Richards.

Richards, 33, has scored 18 goals for the League Two leaders this term, but will be out for at least four weeks.
Marquis, 23, played for the Cobblers in 2013-2014, scoring in their final game against Oxford to avoid relegation.
"It's a very different situation. I want to help a team already doing really well get promoted," he said.
Marquis has made a total of 27 appearances this season, having had a loan spell at Leyton Orient, but only scored once.
He is out of contract at the end of the season, and continued to BBC Radio Northampton: "I went to Leyton Orient earlier in the season and played the majority of games in midfield, which obviously isn't my best position but at least I was playing there.
"I went back to Millwall and wasn't really playing, mainly because the two forwards are playing well; Steve Morison's the captain and Lee Gregory's already got 20 goals this season."

Footage of a cyclist who came within inches of being hit by a train has been released as a railway safety warning.

22 December 2016 Last updated at 00:12 GMT
The incident, which took place at Ducketts crossing near Pudsey, Leeds, saw a cyclist ignoring warning lights and narrowly avoiding a passing train.
Over the past year and a half, 18 similar incidents have been recorded at the same crossing.
Network Rail said ignoring railway safety procedures can have "life-changing consequences".


The BBC has seen evidence that British firm Soco made payments to a Congolese army major accused of using violence to intimidate oil exploration opponents.

At the time of the payments, Soco was operating in Virunga National Park in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
The company strongly rejects any suggestion that the payments were connected with the alleged abuse.
Last year, Soco ended its activities in Virunga, which is home to some of the last remaining mountain gorillas.
The BBC's DR Congo reporter Maud Jullien says the months the company spent exploring for oil in the park, a Unesco World Heritage site, angered campaigners and sparked international outrage.
Africa news updates
The 7,800 sq km (3,000 sq miles) park is one of the most ecologically diverse places on Earth, but it has suffered from the years of lawlessness and conflict between armed groups based in eastern DR Congo attracted by the area's rich mineral resources.
Soco used Congolese government soldiers to secure its staff and infrastructure in the volatile region.
Cheques and receipts obtained by the campaign group Global Witness, and seen by the BBC, show the company paid an army major called Burimba Feruzi.
The payments total $42,250 (Â£27,290) over the course of two weeks in spring 2014.
That is the equivalent to several years' salary for a Congolese army major.
Several people have said they were threatened by Maj Feruzi.
One person said that men following the major's orders had tortured him, stating it was because he had opposed oil exploration.

DR Congo seeks Virunga park boundary change
The London-listed company said it has never denied funding the work of the Congolese army "or that Maj Feruzi was the DRC army's military liaison officer assigned to Soco's security".
"However, we strongly refute any suggestion that this funding was in any way improper or connected with alleged acts of intimidation or violence," it said in a statement.
It said it was not allowed to enter the area where it carried out exploratory tests without a military escort.
"The soldiers assigned to Soco's security escort were always under the full command and control of the DRC army," it said.


Steve Cummings claimed the overall lead in the Tour of Britain as Wout Poels won the sixth stage at Haytor.

Debate has begun over the choice of JMW Turner to be commemorated on a Bank of England banknote.

The public was included in the choice of nominations for the honour of appearing on the next £20 note, to enter circulation in 2020.
As with the new £5 and £10 notes from the Bank of England, being introduced this year and next, the £20 note will be made of plastic.
This extends a rich history of changing currency in the UK and worldwide.
The plastic notes - starting with the new £5 note featuring Sir Winston Churchill due to be issued in September - will eventually replace cotton paper notes, which have been used for more than 100 years.
In many ways, this is a significant change in the way money is produced, not least because a Bank of England banknote will survive a spin in the washing machine for the first time.
However, there are many other revolutionary developments in the way money has been made over many centuries.
Ben Alsop, curator of the Citi Money Gallery at the British Museum, and Mieka Harris, education manager for the gallery, offer a snapshot of this rich history - with the help of five objects from the gallery's collection.
This coin made from electrum - a natural alloy of gold and silver found in riverbeds - is one of the earliest examples of coins, and the beginnings of the Western tradition of coinage that is still going strong.
It was minted in Lydia, in modern day western Turkey, in the 7th Century BC, making it more than 2,500 years old.
These coins, featuring a lion's head, were of a consistent weight and purity. As a result, they held a value that allowed them to be used in cross-border trade - replacing the idea of two commodities effectively being swapped between traders.
The tiny coin was of significant value, so was used in high-level trade, as gifts between rulers, and as payment to mercenary soldiers.
The vast majority of the population would never see one, and continued to trade without coins - as had been the case for cities and empires for more than 2,000 years. Bartering, for example, still ran in parallel with trading using coins.
Throughout history, coins have looked very different to the money we recognise today.
This hollow-handled spade money was used in China in the early 6th Century BC, when the country was made up of a number of separate states
In order to inspire confidence among the merchant classes to use this abstract concept of bronze money, it was shaped as an agricultural tool - an item recognised by these people, rather than an alien, round coin.
Coins shaped as knives were also produced in China around 200 years later, as this was a shape recognised by those involved in warfare.
Weight was much more important that shape in terms of value.
Although its use was more widespread than the Lydian coins, the use of coins as currency did not filter down to the population at large until Roman times.
The earliest banknote in the British Museum's collection is this grandly named Great Ming circulating treasure note from the 14th Century.
It is an early example of "paper" money carrying a value. In this case, the one guan note is worth 1,000 coins, as can be seen from the illustration on the 34cm by 22cm note. It is actually made of mulberry bark.
"People started to call it 'flying cash', partly because of its convenience across high-level trade, but also because it no longer had the weight to it that coins would have had," says Ms Harris.
"So if you were not holding it properly, it could potentially fly away."
Backed by the central authority, it also features a border of dragons, and an inscription that warns against counterfeiting.
The warning seems to have been ignored. Owing to counterfeits and inflation - which rose as printing money became easier - China stopped issuing paper notes in the early 15th Century and did not start again until the 19th Century.
When the British Isles were gripped by civil war in the 17th Century, there was huge instability and a lack of small denomination currency.
Small traders and other establishments stepped in when the central authority was unable to provide this coinage, by issuing their own tokens.
This 17th Century token was issued, according to the inscription, by John Ewing, who traded near St George's Church in Southwark.
He was a tobacconist, hence the image of a monkey smoking a pipe. Customers could use this token in his store, but other local traders may have accepted it, too.
This private production of money was in many ways a forerunner to local currencies seen today such as the Brixton Pound and the Bristol Pound, as well as cryptocurrencies or digital currency such as Bitcoin.
However, these tokens were not used for long. A Royal proclamation, following the restoration of the English monarchy in 1660, clamped down on their production.
Although money is inherently conservative in nature in order to be accepted by the general population, there have been some revolutionary developments.
One was the birth of the credit card, even though credit and debt have existed for as long as money itself.
This particular card is an early example from the US, from the 1960s.
Credit accounts were already common in individual stores, but credit cards allowed people to use one card to shop on credit across the numerous stores and not have to carry notes and coins.
"To get people using them, they were mailed out to people who had not asked for them, just to try to encourage people to use this new form of payment," says Mr Alsop.
This was not particularly scientific, so there were examples of credit cards being sent to toddlers.
There was no automation in the credit card, as is the case today, so shoppers would hand over the card to a shopkeeper who would make a telephone call to a bank. That bank would then check with the shopper's bank by phone and eventually the transaction would be authorised.


A Cub Scout leader who did not allow a girl to join his pack "did not fully comply with the rules," the Scout Association has said.

They launched an investigation after Eloise Bemand-Wright's mother claimed the eight-year-old was refused entry because she is a girl.
The leader responsible will be leaving after the summer term, the association said.
Mother Jane Bemand-Wright said "Eloise has not even received an apology".
More on this story and others from Devon
Originally a member of the Beavers, Eloise wanted to move up to 1st Kingskerswell Cubs when she turned eight, which meets in the same hall in Devon.
But Mrs Bemand-Wright said she was told by a male leader that she could not join because he "can't put her in a tent with men".
He told her the helpers were "young single males" and he did not think "it was appropriate".
The Scout Association said it was sorry Eloise had a "bad experience" and that girls were welcome at 1st Kingskerswell Cubs.
But Mrs Bemand-Wright said Eloise has not yet been offered a place there.
"I think my daughter deserves a written apology... but as yet we have heard nothing," she said.
Eloise has since joined a pack in Newton Abbot, but her mum says she would rather be with friends from her old group.
"We have to travel further to take her to this group which is not near her home," Mrs Bemand-Wright said.
In a statement, the Scout Association said: "We have clear policies in place that ensure all our Scout Groups are open to young women.
"We are confident that any young girl who wants to join the Kingskerwell Pack in the future will be welcomed into the full life of the pack."


Doncaster extended their lead at the League Two summit to six points after a goalless draw away to Newport County.

Both teams had opportunities to net a winner in this top versus bottom encounter but had to settle for a point, with Newport missing the chance to climb out of the relegation zone for the first time since November.
Graham Westley's men could have taken a shock 90-second lead against the League Two leaders but David Pipe's header was superbly saved by Doncaster goalkeeper Ian Lawlor.
But Doncaster gained a foothold in the game as Andy Williams was inches away from connecting with Matty Blair's cross.
County stopper Joe Day made sure striker John Marquis did not add to his tally of 17 goals after denying the former Millwall academy player from close range.
Day was called into action following the restart, getting down well to push Williams' shot away from goal.
Doncaster applied more pressure late on and Day had his heart in his mouth when he punched the ball towards his own goal, but fortunately Newport defenders were on hand to clear and hold on for a deserved point.
Newport County boss Graham Westley told BBC Radio Wales Sport:
"I said to the lads yesterday that we were four unbeaten going into the game and if we came out of it five unbeaten I think it would be a job well done.
"That's not to say we didn't want to win the game but we knew they were a good side.
"They're position in the league tells you everything they are so we knew it was going to be a tough game.
"It was a game of few chances, the defending was first class from both sides.
"I think the draw was a fair result."

The final Premier League games before the transfer window closes have been played, so clubs and managers can give their full attention to concluding the business to take them forward to January.

It is shaping up to be a frantic finale, with big-name players likely to be on the move, and many of the superpowers ready and waiting to make late signings.
So what are the big issues to be resolved, and what will be your Premier League club's priority before the window shuts at 23:00 BST on Thursday?
Liverpool attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho and Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk have both put their discontent in writing in the form of transfer requests - but the odds seem stacked against that having the desired effect.
Coutinho, 25, wants to leave Anfield for Barcelona. He has been the subject of three offers, all of which have been instantly rejected by Liverpool's owners Fenway Sports Group.
The last bid would have added up to £118m - the largest fee ever received by a British club - but it came with a series of strings attached, including one payment reliant on Coutinho winning the Ballon d'Or.
The word inside Liverpool is the size of any bid is irrelevant because Coutinho is not for sale at any price, a policy reinforced by a public FSG statement even before his emailed transfer demand.
So what could happen in the final days before the window closes?
There have been rumours of a fourth Barca bid but it is yet to arrive - and it remains to be seen if Coutinho or his camp make further moves or representations in an attempt to force a transfer.
The problem for Coutinho is Liverpool are not moving. They have not moved from day one.
There is, of course, the danger the club could be left with a disaffected player on Friday morning, but their admirably strong stance suggests confidence in their ability to reintegrate Coutinho.
Liverpool have the same problem themselves as they meet a wall of resistance from Southampton in their attempts to land their prime summer target, Virgil van Dijk.
Anfield was understood to be the 26-year-old's preferred destination once his mind was made up to leave St Mary's, but Liverpool publicly apologised to Saints and withdrew interest amid claims of an illegal approach.
The Reds remain interested and would readily pay £60m for the Netherlands defender given the slightest encouragement, but Arsenal and Chelsea would be equally responsive.
Southampton, however, have made it clear Van Dijk will not be sold, a position reiterated by vice-chairman (football) Les Reed when he said £15m signing Wesley Hoedt had been bought to play alongside his international colleague, not replace him.
The disenchanted Van Dijk has virtually been in exile all summer, so will the pressure of the clock ticking down and the likelihood of interested clubs making one last persuasive attempt provoke a change of heart?
Southampton would have to alter their position drastically.
And what about Alexis Sanchez? The Chilean is showing no sign of agreeing a new Arsenal contract, yet manager Arsene Wenger seems ready to risk losing an asset worth at least £50m in the current market in exchange for one final season from him.
Manchester City are following events closely, and may even try a blockbuster offer before the window closes.
Given Arsenal's poor start to the season, and their need to strengthen in other areas, will Wenger move his position and decide to cash in rather than see Sanchez walk out of Emirates Stadium for free next summer.
One thing is certain - Diego Costa will not play for Chelsea again. The striker's relationship with manager Antonio Conte is not so much fractured as smashed into hundreds of tiny pieces, the process starting last January.
Claim and counter claim have been traded as the striker remains away from the club, and a move is the only realistic option for both parties. There will be no mending of fences.
The complication is Costa's desired destination, his former club Atletico Madrid, are banned from signing players until January.
This leaves Costa, and indeed Chelsea, in limbo.
It will surely make for a toxic atmosphere if Costa hangs around until January, but what are the serious alternatives?
A loan move until January, perhaps? Everton manager Ronald Koeman has declared his admiration for Costa but the Dutchman is someone who answers every question in a blunt, honest manner and of course he would take the Spain international if he could.
It takes a huge leap of the imagination to see any way in which Costa would want to go to Everton, but this is a complex matter with little time for resolution.
Everton midfielder Ross Barkley is at a career crossroads at only 23 - but what route he takes is still unclear.
Barkley has turned down a lucrative new contract at his boyhood club, and his fractious relationship with Koeman has made a parting of the ways look inevitable.
Now things get difficult.
Barkley has attracted interest from Chelsea and Tottenham but Everton have received no offer. And while their demand for £50m for an England midfielder in the final year of his contract can be filed under 'fanciful', they will not be parting for much under £30m.
To add to the intrigue, Barkley is expected to be out until October with a hamstring injury, so whoever (if anyone) buys him will first have to nurse him back to fitness.
It is highly likely Everton will receive an offer before Thursday, but this one might go down to the wire.
Koeman has made all the right noises about what might happen if Barkley stays, but where would he play after Koeman spent £24m on Ajax captain Davy Klaassen and a club record £45m on Swansea City's Gylfi Sigurdsson?
This could be a late one.
Three games into the new season this is hardly a crisis for Arsenal, but two losses and the alarming manner of their harrowing 4-0 loss at Liverpool on Sunday has left manager Arsene Wenger facing familiar questions.
Wenger's future is sorted after he signed a new two-year contract but it will not be a shield against inevitable criticism when Arsenal show no signs of curing the failings that have been levelled at them for several years under the Frenchman.
At Anfield, Arsenal lacked fight, physical presence in all parts of the pitch, and a competitive edge. Their soft centre was exposed throughout.
So will Wenger tackle the problem in the markets - even though he chose to leave £46.5m signing Alexandre Lacazette and new defensive tough guy Sead Kolasinac out at Liverpool?
Strangely, all the talk appears to surround departures, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain seemingly heading to Chelsea, Shkodran Mustafi heavily linked with a move to Inter Milan just 12 months after his £35m arrival from Valencia, and continued speculation around Alexis Sanchez.
Given how desperate Arsenal's defending was at Anfield, it seems strange that Mustafi would be allowed to leave unless Wenger has an alternative lined up. Van Dijk has been mentioned, but there seems a two-fold problem - Saints insist he is not for sale and both Chelsea and Liverpool seem far more attractive destinations.
There was already an angry mood among Arsenal's fans at Anfield, and Wenger must decide if he can do something before the deadline to ensure the sort of discontent that undermined them last season does not set in quickly this term.
Manchester City did much of their transfer business early but two names on their radar could move before deadline day.
City remain in the market for West Bromwich Albion's former Manchester United defender Jonny Evans, the 29-year-old rated at £30m by the Baggies.
Evans has been outstanding at The Hawthorns and his no-nonsense defensive style would give Pep Guardiola's side added steel. This deal could be done before the deadline.
The biggest of all, but also the most difficult to accomplish, could be a £60m deal for Arsenal forward Sanchez.
Sanchez, 28, worked with Guardiola at Barcelona but the obstacle here appears to be the Gunners' determination to keep the Chilean.
Manchester United appear to have done their main business in signing Romelu Lukaku, Nemanja Matic and Victor Lindelof - although Jose Mourinho would not be averse to another signing should a late opportunity present itself.
And Spurs chairman Daniel Levy loves a late deal, so expect them to be in action. This August's contender? Barkley - or maybe some cover for Harry Kane.
Everton still have one big move left in them after an impressive summer of spending, and it is arguably the biggest and most important of all - a striker to replace Lukaku. They might just be tempted to have another attempt to sign Arsenal's Olivier Giroud, or maybe move for Crystal Palace's Christian Benteke. An outside bet? Celtic's Moussa Dembele.
And as Chelsea recover from the shock of that opening-day home loss to Burnley with impressive wins against Spurs and Everton, Antonio Conte will hope for the reinforcements he wants.
There could be an English look to his purchases with Barkley, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater all targets.
Arsenal
Phil Parry, BBC Radio London
The FA Cup victory at the end of last season masked a disappointing campaign with Wenger under increased pressure. As well as signing his new contract, the Frenchman acquired Lacazette - who appears to have the ability, guile and skill to provide goals - and Kolasinac, who can provide adaptability on the left whatever formation is utilised.
However, despite having what appears to be large squad, it seems the Gunners need to do some business. Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to join Chelsea and bids still might come in for the likes of Sanchez. The defence looks creaky and the group as a whole lacks leadership qualities. Power and fortitude may not be on the medical checklist, but will have to be part of the due diligence which precedes purchases this week.
Bournemouth
Kris Temple, BBC Radio Solent
Bournemouth got the bulk of their transfer business done early in the summer, with the arrivals of Asmir Begovic, Nathan Ake and Jermain Defoe for second spells at the club. They have at least two players genuinely competing for every position, but Eddie Howe has been a long-time admirer of Leicester winger Demarai Gray, and the rumours of a £25m bid have resurfaced during this window.
They are possibly a little short of central-defensive back-up too - if they got an injury in that position they would be stretched for experienced cover.
Brighton
Johnny Cantor, BBC Sussex
After FC Zurich forward Raphael Dwamena failed his medical - and with Glenn Murray and Sam Baldock out injured - the top priority for Chris Hughton is at least one striker, but preferably two. His own frontman Tomer Hemed is a target for Reading. The Seagulls are still considering a centre-back and another goalkeeper if good-value late opportunities arise.
Chairman Tony Bloom accelerated his investment as the summer progressed, breaking the club's record fee three times. Winger Jose Izquierdo has been introduced to address a lack of pace in the squad, while early arrivals such as Markus Suttner, Pascal Gross and Davy Propper are yet to get to grips with the intensity of the Premier League.
Burnley
Michael Short, BBC Sport
Never let it be said that football fans are fickle. A new club record signing in striker Chris Wood from Leeds left a lot of Clarets fans underwhelmed. Solid in the Championship, yes, but could he cut it in the Premier League? Then came his injury-time equaliser against Spurs at Wembley. There was enough to suggest he can do the business after all - which would go a long way towards keeping Burnley up.
Bolstering the midfield with Swansea's Jack Cork may yet prove to be the Clarets' most important bit of summer business, though. Sean Dyche's team have played with a more fluid system and have more options since he arrived.
There is extra top-flight nous too, with the addition of seasoned Premier League campaigners Jonathan Walters and Phil Bardsley from Stoke, while full-back Charlie Taylor from Leeds is new to this level yet highly thought of.
For a side that lost the best part of £50m of talent in Michael Keane and Andre Gray in the summer, early results have been enough to keep fans happy with the transfer business so far. But a new centre-half and a pacy forward before the transfer window shuts might just be enough to get some brave fans daring to think the heady heights of mid-table might not be entirely beyond them come next May.
Chelsea
Nick Godwin, BBC Radio London
It seems Chelsea's decline has been exaggerated. Ever since that opener against Burnley, they have drilled out two excellent results despite significant absentees.
So the calls for major surgery have quietened but the departure of Nemanja Matic, and Diego Costa's ongoing issues remain concerns.
That is not to say money has not been spent. New recruits Alvaro Morata, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Antonio Rudiger have already shown promise.
Last season, Chelsea won the league with quite a small squad, very few injuries and no European obligations. This season's demands will be much greater so Antonio Conte is hopeful of further recruitment in wide areas, central midfield and up front.

Crystal Palace
Phil Parry, BBC Radio London
Last season, Palace splashed out about £90m in order to just about keep their heads above the relegation waters, and of course switched managers during the campaign. The board were forced into another managerial change in the summer, and it took a while to appoint Frank de Boer. That may have influenced the Eagles' market moves which have so far brought in two young defenders and on-loan Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
It is obvious the Dutchman wants to change the style of play at Selhurst Park and in reality that takes time. Of immediate concern will be to settle on a system, then place round pegs in round holes, then acquire a strong central defender and another striker who can provide support and cover for Christian Benteke.
Everton
Mike Hughes, BBC Radio Merseyside
It's been an astonishing summer of transfer activity at Everton. The big-money signings of Jordan Pickford and Michael Keane already look like bargains in a hyper-inflated market.
Record signing Gylfi Sigurdsson is a proven Premier League match-winner, and his outrageous effort against Hajduk Split underlines the goals and sprinkling of stardust he will bring to the team.
Davy Klaassen and Sandro Ramirez have enough of a proven pedigree in the Netherlands and Spain respectively to suggest they will bring quality to the squad and Cuco Martina has looked more than able so far.
But there remains a big concern. The acquisition of a central striker is of paramount importance. Not just to try to replace Romelu Lukaku's goals but to bring a focal point to Everton's front play that they are lacking. Dominic Calvert-Lewin looks full of promise but is not ready to fill that role week in, week out.

Huddersfield
Paul Ogden, BBC Radio Leeds
Little or no more transfer activity expected now. Huddersfield recognised the importance of integrating post-promotion recruits as early as possible in pre-season, with outstanding results to date.
Ongoing lack of cover at right-back was a concern, until the loan-to-buy arrival of Ingolstadt's Switzerland international Flo Hadergjonaj last week.
Huddersfield's other late-August investment - Hamed Sabiri, from another Bundesliga 2 source in FC Nurnberg - means they now have more than two off-the-peg options in every squad position. Just how head coach David Wagner likes it.
Leicester
Ian Stringer, BBC Leicester Sport
I'm worried about this transfer window as far as Leicester City are concerned - massive caveat already; their owner is a billionaire, money is not the issue here.
If there are genuine bids for Jamie Vardy and/or Danny Drinkwater from Chelsea, then I would not blame the players for being tempted - it is human nature. These are ambitious international footballers.
Then there is Riyad Mahrez. He will go. Clubs know the price; he wants away, pay it and he is yours pretty much. Arsenal need some positive PR right now so do not be shocked if Wenger's wonga ends up on the most skilful player I have ever witnessed wear a Leicester shirt.
Elsewhere I would not be surprised to see Ahmed Musa, Nampalys Mendy and Islam Slimani leave.
Incoming? A centre-half. Ben Gibson at Middlesbrough has been mentioned. Extra bodies at the back are certainly required.
Liverpool
Mike Hughes, BBC Radio Merseyside
Without naming names, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp made it clear towards the end of last season that he had identified his main summer transfer targets.
Players who would add drive, solidity and energy in midfield. Plus leadership, athleticism and dominance to an often unstable defence.
RB Leipzig's Naby Keita will join next summer, and a bid for Monaco midfielder Thomas Lemar is being prepared. But Southampton are adamant, for now at least, their reluctance to sell Virgil van Dijk is matched only by the assertion from Anfield that Philippe Coutinho will not be joining Barcelona.
Midfielder Mohamed Salah brings ability from wide positions, blistering pace and an eye for goal. Forward Dominic Solanke looks an excellent signing and Andy Robertson will bring balance at left-back.
Manchester City
Andy Buckley, BBC Radio Manchester
Manchester City fans have liked what they have seen so far from their new signings. Manager Pep Guardiola knew the defence needed strengthening and Kyle Walker, Benjamin Mendy, Danilo and goalkeeper Ederson have already provided enough evidence to suggest the Blues are much better equipped to mount a sustained domestic and European challenge.
Playmaker Bernardo Silva is a top-quality midfielder, and if Guardiola has his way the spending is not yet over. Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez has been coveted by the Spaniard, who has also done his best to prise Jonny Evans away from West Brom as defensive cover.
Manchester United
Bill Rice, BBC Radio Manchester
It is no wonder Jose Mourinho is so pleased with Manchester United's transfer business this summer. Three of his four targets have not only been acquired, but Romelu Lukaku, Nemanja Matic and Victor Lindelof crucially all arrived before pre-season, allowing them to integrate with their new team-mates.
A fourth summer signing - a wide player - now looks unlikely barring a late development after a move for Ivan Perisic stalled. But with Zlatan Ibrahimovic returning for the second half of the season after a knee injury, United have a squad ready to challenge for the title again.

Newcastle
Matthew Raisbeck, BBC Radio Newcastle
After winning promotion at the first attempt, Rafa Benitez was promised "every penny the club generates through promotion, player sales and other means" by owner Mike Ashley in order to strengthen his squad for the Premier League. But the Newcastle boss has been left frustrated, confused and unhappy by the club's performance in the transfer market, leading to further speculation about his long-term future.
Benitez understands the Magpies do not have the financial muscle of many of their top-flight rivals but still believed he could bring several quality players to St James' Park, and went without a summer holiday in order to get some deals ready early. However, the club failed to act, and the Spaniard missed out on most of his top targets, including Tammy Abraham and Willy Caballero. Six signings have been made so far but, as Benitez himself put it recently: "I am signing the players that I can, not the players that I want."
He is still looking for a goalkeeper, a striker, an attacking midfielder and a left-sided player - but any new arrivals could be dependent on there being further outgoings before the deadline; there are several fringe players on high salaries Benitez is determined to move on to free up space in the squad and, crucially, generate more funds.
Southampton
Adam Blackmore, BBC Radio Solent
A solid if unspectacular start to the season means manager Mauricio Pellegrino is dealing with the same issue his predecessor Claude Puel had, namely replacing Sadio Mane.
So the window is now about what they would like not what they need - on paper the squad is deeper than it has ever been.
But the three signings so far - Wesley Hoedt, Mario Lemina, and Jan Bednarek - have added strength and backbone, not guile and creativity.
Saints need a catalyst to get the best out of Manolo Gabbiadini, Charlie Austin and co.
The club have made it clear they will not sell defender Virgil van Dijk, or any player they do not want to. Whether they spend more on giving Pellegrino that much-needed dynamism in the final third is doubtful, given the talent already in the camp. But that is what is needed if Saints are to push back towards the top six.
Swansea
Dafydd Pritchard, BBC Wales Sport
Swansea City's summer has been dominated by Gylfi Sigurdsson's protracted £45m move to Everton.
Although it has given the club ample funds to rebuild, there is a perception the Swans have been slow to act and that last year's American takeover has yet to make a significant difference in spending power.
Former striker Wilfried Bony is expected to rejoin from Manchester City before the window closes, possibly as a replacement for last season's top scorer Fernando Llorente, a target for Chelsea.
West Brom winger Nacer Chadli remains a target, with Swansea head coach Paul Clement saying he wants at least two new signings in attacking positions.
Their other business has been neat if slightly underwhelming, with further changes in midfield seeing Sam Clucas and Roque Mesa arriving for a combined £25m or so, and Jack Cork leaving for £10m.
There is work to do if Swansea are to avoid another relegation battle.
Stoke
Ged Scott, BBC Sport
After having ninth place (after three successive years) torn from their grasp in May, the summer mood in the Potteries was not one of great positivity among fans.
The loss of Marko Arnautovic to West Ham did nothing to persuade many a punter that they might actually be outsiders for relegation.
But the re-signing of Bruno Martins Indi, the arrival on loan of fellow defender Kurt Zouma from Chelsea, and the signings of midfielder Darren Fletcher and winger Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting have provided a lift.
And, when new striker Jese scored the only goal of the game to beat Arsenal on his debut, the apparent gaps in Mark Hughes' squad suddenly did not seem quite so glaring.
Tottenham
Nick Godwin, BBC Radio London
Spurs may well have had the best starting XI in the league last season, but depth and the lack of a Plan B remained a problem.
The signings of Davinson Sanchez and Paulo Gazzaniga only go some way to address those concerns.
There remains intense pressure from fans to recruit a striker, cover at full-back and a player with the pace or the imagination to change a game.
No-one would miss Moussa Sissoko if he were to leave, but the future of Danny Rose remains uncertain. His departure would destabilise an already thin squad. But then again, who knows how complicated things may get if he stays?

Watford
Geoff Doyle, BBC Three Counties Radio
Watford are desperate for a new left-back and it looks as though Arsenal's Kieran Gibbs is close to joining. The Hornets only have youngster Brandon Mason as back-up for Jose Holebas, who has disciplinary issues just like left-sided centre-half Miguel Britos, who filled in for him at the weekend.
Many Watford fans would like to see a new centre-back at the club, and it will be interesting to see if the Hornets allow Isaac Success or Stefano Okaka to leave, in which case do not rule out another attacker coming in.
West Brom
Ged Scott, BBC Sport
Even for a club enjoying their eighth successive season in the top flight, it says a lot that West Brom go into transfer deadline week worrying about a player they might lose.
Scotland winger Oliver Burke and Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez have arrived at The Hawthorns this summer for eight-figure sums.
With Egypt defender Ahmed Hegazi coming on a season's loan and the cut-price arrival of veteran Gareth Barry, boss Tony Pulis has added new men in every outfield position.
But, having lost Darren Fletcher to Stoke, how will the Baggies cope if either Leicester City or Manchester City succeed in their unlikely bidding war for Northern Ireland defender Jonny Evans?
Media playback is not supported on this device
West Ham
Phil Parry, BBC Radio London
Unlike other teams, West Ham conducted plenty of business before the season started. Experience arrived from Manchester City in the shape of full-back Pablo Zabaleta on a permanent deal and goalkeeper Joe Hart on loan, while from an offensive perspective Marko Arnautovic and Javier Hernandez have added to the ranks of those breaking down the opposition.
However, defensive frailties in the opening three games have caused increased concern, with the way many of the 10 goals have been conceded raising eyebrows.
Manager Slaven Bilic has again been hit with early season injuries and appears not to be in a rush to buy, but some would say that adaptable defender and a defensive midfielder would not go amiss.


Former Reddit employee Victoria Taylor has said that her dismissal from the popular website drove her offline.

Speaking in her first broadcast interview since her firing in July, she told BBC Radio 5 live that she had consciously avoided being online during the "hubbub".
Her firing sparked huge protests from the community of users and led to chief executive Ellen Pao resigning.
Social news site Reddit is one of the most widely-used sites on the web.
Of her sacking, Ms Taylor said: "I dealt with it as best as I could. Being offline was actually really helpful to me."
Being thrust into the spotlight was "surreal", she added.
"The most surreal moment was when there was a photographer that was following me around."
It remains unclear why Ms Taylor was sacked but her firing threw the Reddit community into uproar, with moderators shutting down popular parts of the site in protest.
At the time interim chief executive Ellen Pao was blamed but her predecessor, Yishan Wong, has since suggested that it had been the decision of Alexis Ohanian, Reddit co-founder and board member.
Ms Taylor co-ordinated the 'Ask me Anything" forum, a popular section of Reddit run in conjunction with volunteer moderators.
The forum had more than 8.6 million subscribers and hosted question and answer sessions with a range of high-profile public figures including President Barack Obama
The internet message board that boasts more than 160 million monthly visitors had already had a turbulent time with many unhappy with the direction Ms Pao was taking the site.
Clampdowns on some of the less savoury discussion boards prompted protests that it was censoring  freedom of speech.
Ms Pao's appointment came off the back of a high profile lawsuit that she had taken out against her former employers Kleiner Perkins. In it she had claimed unfair dismissal and highlighted a culture of sexism at the firm. She lost the case.
She resigned from Reddit in July after 200,000 users called for her dismissal.
Ms Taylor did not speak directly about Ms Pao but  said that during such times it was "important to remember the human online and offline".
She also thanked her supporters and added: "So many people have been so kind and sent me wonderful messages and positive support."


A small bomb has exploded inside a van in Londonderry.

It happened at Drumard Park in the Hazelbank area at about 03:45 BST on Sunday.
The alarm was raised by a man who heard a loud bang. An Army bomb team found that a small home-made explosive device had gone off inside his van, causing minor damage.
SDLP assembly member Pat Ramsey said the explosion had left a woman in her 70s "deeply shaken".
He said: "I understand that a device was thrown into her son's van as it was parked adjacent to her home, where she lives alone. Luckily there was no damage to the house."
Mr Ramsey said there was "absolutely no support for this kind of intimidating, terrorising attack on a family and a community".
The Foyle MLA said those behind the attack "need to explain why they targeted the home of a woman in her 70s living alone who is totally innocent".
Sinn FÃ©in councillor Eric McGinley said: "Whoever was behind this attack showed absolutely no regard for the people of Hazelbank or the wider city."


A document outlining why a subsea cable is needed to carry electricity generated on the Western Isles to the mainland has been sent to Ofgem.

Scottish Hydro-Electric Transmission Ltd, a division of energy giant SSE, said the "needs case" was a key part of the planning process.
Regulator Ofgem will assess whether the interconnector is efficient and economic.
The project has been hit by delays and a rise in costs to an estimated £780m.
Islands local authority, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, has said major renewable energy projects planned for the isles cannot go ahead without the cable.
The comhairle has welcomed the submission to Ofgem.
Leader Angus Campbell said swift approval of the project could allow a contract for the cable to be awarded this year.
The interconnector would export electricity to the mainland for distribution.
It would stretch to about 50 miles (80km) from Gravir on Lewis to Ullapool on the north-west coast of mainland Scotland.


The detective leading an inquiry into the brutal murder of a Lincolnshire man has said he remains determined to bring those responsible to justice.

Alan Wood, 50, was bound and tortured in his home in Lound, near Bourne, in October 2009.
Det Supt Stuart Morrison, who has led the investigation from the start, said he thinks about the case every day.
He said the main focus of the inquiry was to find the person whose DNA profile was left at the scene.
Det Supt Morrison said the profile was not in the UK database and officers were continuing to check international databases.
He said he had taken guidance from Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys, the pioneer of DNA profiling, as to whether it would be worth trying to trace which country the person who left the DNA at the murder scene came from.
"Whilst there are companies that will seek to tell you that information, it's not particularly reliable and it covers so many countries that it would be of no particular practical use for us," the detective told BBC Radio Lincolnshire.
Mr Wood, who ran a small gardening business, had no known enemies, according to Lincolnshire Police.
He was subjected to a "brutal and sustained" attack at his home in Lound, during which he had his throat cut a number of times and an attempt was made to decapitate him.
"I have to be optimistic that this person or people will be found. It's an investigation that I turn over in my mind every single day.
"It is something that you want to do [solve the case] for the victim and for the family, so we occupy quite a lot of our time thinking about it," Det Supt Morrison said.
Manor Lodge, where Mr Wood lived, was kept as a crime scene for two years but has recently been demolished.


Lionel Messi reached the 30-goal mark for the eighth consecutive season as he helped Spanish leaders Barcelona come back from behind to beat Sevilla.

Sixth-placed Sevilla, the last team to beat Barca back in early October, led when Vitolo volleyed in a left-wing cross at the far post.
Messi's sublime 20-yard free-kick levelled before he teed up Gerard Pique to sidefoot in the close-range winner.
Barca, who have not lost in 34 games, are now eight points clear in La Liga.
The Catalan side's fightback at the Nou Camp means they have equalled the longest unbeaten run of a La Liga team in all competitions, levelling Real Madrid's run in the 1988-89 season.
But more concerning for the Bernabeu club is the huge gap that has opened up between them and their arch-rivals Barca.
Zinedine Zidane's third-placed side are 12 points adrift of the leaders following Saturday's home derby defeat by Atletico Madrid.
Second-placed Atletico won 1-0 at the Bernabeu to remain Barca's nearest challengers.
Re-live Barca's record-equalling performance
Valencia's four-game winning run under Gary Neville came to a sudden halt as they were beaten 3-0 by visitors Athletic Bilbao.
Neville's team set a Europa League record with their 10-0 aggregate win against Rapid Vienna, while victories against Espanyol and Granada eased any fears of a relegation battle.
But, in an dress rehearsal of their last-16 Europa League tie, Athletic scored three goals in seven second-half minutes at Mestalla to move up to seventh.
Former England defender Neville was furious at two strong Valencia penalty appeals that were dismissed before the away side's opener.
"I thought the referee was a joke," said the ex-Manchester United captain.
"I've not blamed refs in every game, but his management of the game was awful. Some of the things he did were incredible."


New CCTV footage of a man wanted for the rape and attempted murder of a woman in Leeds has been released in a fresh appeal.

The 18-year-old was waiting at a bus stop on Beeston Road when she was dragged into a garden and sexually assaulted on the night of 6 March.
The CCTV footage shows the man following another woman off Wellington Street on the night of the attack.
West Yorkshire Police has appealed on BBC Crimewatch for her to come forward.
Detectives said the victim was left with serious head injuries and a fractured pelvis when she was struck over the head numerous times with a large stone before being raped at about 22:30 GMT.
In a reconstruction on the programme, the victim spoke of her ordeal, which was voiced by an actor.
She said: "I haven't been able to stop thinking about what happened. I've stopped sleeping because I can see what happened when I am trying to sleep."
Det Sup Nick Wallen said: "This was an appalling attack on a young woman where a shocking level of violence was used which could so easily have had fatal consequences.
"It has understandably had a very significant traumatic effect on the victim.".
"We are hopeful that the woman shown being followed, who we have not yet identified, will come forward as a result of this new appeal."
Mr Wallen said the force was "continuing to conduct a very wide range of enquiries to identify" the attacker.
Detectives previously released CCTV footage, images and a description of the attacker, who is thought to be in his early 20s and of Pakistani or Middle Eastern origin.
On the night of the attack, he was wearing a green Puma hooded top and white trainers.
An image of a footwear mark recovered from the victim's clothing was also released.
Last week it emerged three other women were stalked by the suspect prior to the attack on Beeston Road.
Police have warned women in the city to be on their guard.


Northern Ireland motorcyclist Stephen Thompson has said that he has "no feeling at all" in one of his arms following his serious crash at this year's North West 200 meeting.

Thompson said that the broken bones he received in the crash in Portstewart in May are "now healing".
"But my main concern is I have no feeling in my arm at all," Thompson said in a Facebook posting.
"I am hopeful something can be done  but it's going to take a long time."
Thompson, who remains in Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital, was making his first public comment since the crash involving three riders at the Northern Ireland motorcycling meeting in which a spectator was also injured.
"I'm lying here thinking all I want is my old life back, going to work, racing my bike and back home to my family and I would be very happy," added the Crumlin man.
"I'm still going to be in hospital for a few weeks yet with doing physio every day and I have a few wounds that need treated every other day.
"But I'm very thankful to be here as I know things were not good for me."
Thompson, 39, sustained a collapsed lung and bleeding on the brain as well as well as leg, arm and hand fractures in the crash.
A fund has been set up which aims to raise money to help aid Thompson's treatment.
Spectator Violet McAfee sustained head and leg injuries in the crash but later told the BBC that was was "confident" of making a good recovery.
Liechtenstein rider Horst Saigar sustained a broken arm in the crash while Englishman Dean Harrison escaped injury.


The boyfriend of a student who drowned in Thailand has spoken of the "big open space where [she] should be".

Bryony Freestone, 19, from Little Houghton, Northampton, died off the island of Koh Chang on 14 August.
Kurtis Middleton, who had been with the Exeter University student for more than three years, said she taught him "to seize life by the horns".
Her twin Sophie said Bryony recently said "if she were to die right now, she would have lived her life to the full".
Bryony, a student at the university's Penryn Campus in Cornwall, was said to be "talented, dedicated and hugely popular".
Describing her as "my beautiful Bryony", her boyfriend said: "You were more than just my partner, you were my best friend and over our three years and three months we had together I've grown into a much better person, simply through knowing you."
Her sister agreed, saying: "You were the most vibrant, passionate, happy person I have ever known, enthusiastic about absolutely everything.
"I will endeavour to live my life the best I can for her."
Mr Middleton added: "Bry taught me how to seize life by the horns and make the most of every moment... we could all learn a lesson from her.
"Sleep tight Bryony, I love you with all my heart."
Earlier this week the Foreign Office confirmed it was supporting the family of a British national "who sadly died in Thailand on 14 August".


One of the largest investors in the UK has committed £5bn of new money to invest in transport, property and digital technology.

The Middle Eastern state of Qatar said that it was optimistic about the future of the British economy.
It made it clear that the UK leaving the European Union had little bearing on its decision.
Qatar has already invested £40bn in the UK - it owns Harrods and a 95% stake in the Shard in London.
It also has a stake in Canary Wharf in the capital's Docklands, as well as an interest in the Milford Haven liquefied natural gas terminal in South Wales.
It also bought the Olympic Village following the London 2012 Olympics.
"Currently the UK is our first investment destination and it is the largest investment destination for Qatari investors, both public and private," Ali Shareef al Emadi, the country's finance minister, told the BBC.
"We have more than £35bn to £40bn of investments already in the UK.
"We're announcing an additional £5bn of investment in the next three to five years.
"Mainly this investment will focus on infrastructure sectors, technology, energy and real estate."
Mr Al Emadi will join International Trade Secretary Liam Fox in Birmingham on Tuesday where UK firms will showcase projects, including in sport, cyber-security and healthcare.
The government relies on foreign investment to support infrastructure projects such as the new high speed rail link between London, Birmingham and Manchester - HS2.
Although no final decisions have been taken on the Qatari investments, Mr Al Emadi did not rule out putting money into HS2.
"We will look at those deals; we will look at electricity, roads, bridges, railways," he said.
The announcement of the Qatari investment is likely to be welcomed by Number 10.
It comes two days before the triggering of Article 50, the official process for leaving the European Union.
Theresa May has made it clear she believes the British economy remains a positive place to invest and the Qatari announcement follows UK-focused investment decisions by Sir James Dyson, Google and Nissan.
The decline in the value of sterling has made UK assets more attractive to overseas investors - though many economists argue that leaving the EU will damage trade with Britain's largest market and therefore damage growth.
"We always like the UK market, it has always been a good market," Mr Al Emadi told me.
"The way we look at our investment in any market, and especially in the UK, it is a very long term investment, so we don't look at any cycles up or down
"So if you are talking about Brexit, I can go back to the financial crisis and tell you the same stories.
"We will do what we think is good for us, it is commercially viable, it has a good vision and a good impact."
I asked him whether the UK economy outside the EU was likely to be stronger or weaker.
"It is a lot to do with the policy the UK will take, but I think, knowing the UK market, I am very confident they will have a good future," Mr Al Emadi answered, saying that it was important that Britain was welcoming to high skilled foreign workers and students from Qatar and elsewhere.
Qatar has faced controversy over a fundraising for Barclays Bank at the time of the financial crisis and - more recently - allegations that poor labour conditions have marred the preparations for the 2022 World Cup which is being held in the country.
Mr Al Emadi said that Qatar had supported job creation in the UK.
"If you look at what we have done here, it has always been a win-win situation, whatever investment we do in the UK," he said.
"When you talk about labour in Qatar, I think a lot of these things have been taken out of proportion and [are] inaccurate news."


Shia LaBeouf's latest film hasn't exactly set the UK box office on fire.

War movie Man Down, which also stars Gary Oldman, Jai Courtney and Kate Mara, made £7 on its opening weekend.
Or - to put it another way - the film sold one adult ticket.
To put that into perspective, Beauty and the Beast took a further £6.75m over the weekend.
Why so low? Well, to be fair, it did only open in one place: the Reel Cinema in Burnley.
The screening was held to coincide with the film's simultaneous release on digital platforms.
The cinema has since told the BBC it has sold a further four tickets - including two on Wednesday.
And while the popularity of the film has not gone through the roof, the staff member said there had been "quite a few" calls from the media.
The film's appearance in just one cinema is likely to have been done to secure reviews in the media.
But Man Down has not fared well with the critics. The Daily Telegraph says Man Down is a "bomb site of a film" and gave it one star, while The Guardian's two-star review calls it "irredeemable".
The i is slightly more favourable, giving the film three stars. It is "impossible to fault Shia LaBeouf's commitment to the lead role" of an ex-marine who has post-traumatic stress disorder, its writer says.
Other films released last weekend that only opened at one cinema include Guru, which grossed £17, and horror film The Void, which grossed £1,163, according to figures from the British Film Institute.
And last year, Beauty and the Beast and Harry Potter actress Emma Watson's film Colonia, also known as The Colony, made just £47 over its opening weekend in the UK.
But we still have an unanswered question: who was the one LaBeouf fan who bought that ticket?
If you want to catch it on the big screen there's just one screening in Burnley left - tomorrow at 12:20 BST.
There are only 78 seats left though, so you had better be quick.

The murderer of teenager Paige Doherty is to have his deli business dissolved and its assets seized.

John Leathem, 32, killed the 15-year-old in a "savage and frenzied" knife attack at his shop in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, last March
He stabbed the schoolgirl 61 times before dumping her body in woods.
Companies House has now given two months notice that his business will be struck off the register and its assets handed to the Crown.
Leathem was originally ordered to serve at least 27 years in prison after admitting the murder but the minimum term was cut to 23 years last month on appeal.
A court heard last year how Paige had gone into the delicatessen, on Fleming Avenue, to buy a sandwich before travelling to her Saturday job at a hairdressers.
Leathem, a married father of two, claimed he panicked after Paige threatened to report him for sexual assault when he did not give her a job.
He then launched a "frenzied" knife attack, inflicting more than 140 injuries and stabbing the teenager 61 times.
CCTV footage showed how he later carried her body, wrapped in bin bags, to his car and drove away.
A notice issued by Companies House now gives his business, Delicious Deli Clydebank Ltd, two months notice that it will be struck off the register and dissolved.
The notice adds: "Upon dissolution all property and rights vested in, or held in trust for, are deemed to be bona vacantia and will belong to the crown."


Former world boxing champion Eamonn Magee has been jailed for 12 months for an assault on his ex-partner.

The trial was told the 38-year-old, from Eskdale Gardens in Belfast, grabbed the woman by her hair and tried to throw her down stairs in September.
The ex-WBU welterweight title holder was given the maximum sentence for the offence, but was released on bail pending an appeal.
He was ordered to stay at an address in Hull pending the appeal.
Magee was also banned from any contact with the victim and banned from taking alcohol.
The victim of the attack, Maria Magill, had been in a relationship with Magee for six years.
She said he attacked her after the couple had been out at a concert and then drinking in a bar last September.
In her evidence to Belfast Magistrates Court, she said they returned to a flat at Glenview Street where Magee asked her to get into bed and then demanded to see her mobile phone to check if another man had been contacting her.
She claimed he grabbed her by the hair, slapped her and trailed out of the room before attempting to throw her down a flight of stairs.


A 15-year-old girl has died after police were called to Caerphilly in the early hours of Sunday.

Gwent Police said emergency services attended an area off Caerphilly Mountain Road over concerns for the health of a girl from the area, but she died after they arrived.
The circumstances of her death are not yet known and an investigation is ongoing.
Four people are in custody helping police with their investigation.


UKIP's only MP, Douglas Carswell, has ruled himself out of the running to replace Nigel Farage as leader.

Mr Farage stood down on Friday, having failed to win Kent's Thanet South seat.
Mr Carswell, who held the Clacton seat he retained in a 2014 by-election after defecting from the Conservatives, said there were more suitable replacements.
"I've ruled myself out... because I can think of at least half a dozen people who could do a better job," the Essex MP said.
Mr Farage had recommended Suzanne Evans, the deputy chairman, as stand-in leader until the leadership challenge is complete. And he left the door ajar for his own return, saying: "I will consider over the course of this summer whether to put my name forward to do that job again."
Mr Carswell told the Sunday Politics that his former boss had "earned the right to have a bit of time" to think about standing for re-election in September.
But he insisted the party was not a "one-man show", adding: "You have got a choice between Patrick O'Flynn, Suzanne Evans, Steven Woolfe, Paul Nuttall. Let's see what they've got to offer in terms of tone, in terms of style and approach.
"We need to listen to what the other candidates have to say and I think we need to take a considered decision in September."


A woman has been left unconscious and seriously injured after what police have described as a "despicable, sustained sexual assault".

Suffolk Police said the victim, in her late 20s, was attacked in Ipswich by two men sometime between 03:00 and 03:45 GMT on Saturday.
She was walking along Rope Walk and crossing Grimwade Street when she was grabbed from behind by the men who forced her into a nearby car park.
She suffered neck and face injuries.
Trained specialist officers and police staff have been working with the victim whilst extensive inquiries are ongoing in the local area.
Det Supt Eamonn Bridger said, "This is a despicable, sustained sexual attack by two unknown individuals on an innocent young woman, who has been left traumatised and with significant injuries as a result of the actions of the men involved".
The force is appealing for witnesses, including anyone with dash cam footage who was driving in the area at the time of the offence.


Amazon is targeting companies with a new service selling business supplies, such as laptops, power tools and cleaning products.

Called Amazon Business, the online marketplace offers firms VAT-free pricing, VAT invoices, and software to track and limit spending.
The new venture adds to Amazon's huge range of businesses from online video, to groceries to cloud computing.
Amazon has had success with a similar service launched in the US in 2015.
In its first year of operation in the US, the business supply service generated more than $1bn (£800m) in sales. It launched a similar service in Germany last year.
The UK online business-to-business market was worth £96.5bn in 2015 according to the ONS, only slightly lower than the £119bn spent by consumers.
Amazon said there would be more than 100 million products available on the new marketplace, which would include ordinary office supplies and storage solutions as well as more specialist products such as microscopes and test-tubes.
Bill Burkland, Head of Amazon Business UK said the service would offer "a new set of unique business features - from reporting and analytics to spending limits and purchasing workflow approvals". It will also offer free one-day delivery on orders of £30 or more.
"For many small businesses this will be a welcome opportunity to get everything in one place,"  said Bryan Roberts a retail analyst at TCC Global.
Laith Khalaf, senior analyst and stockbrokers, Hargreaves Lansdown said further competition was likely to mean keener pricing for business supplies. He said Staples and Office Depot were the businesses most likely to be affected by the increased competition.
"I can't speak to the quality or function of what [Amazon has] got, but if you're in scenario that you're ordering lots of stuff, having a service that tracks and analyses your purchases is very useful."
For Amazon it represented a logical move, he added. "It is a more natural extension of their business than video content or expanding into groceries. Its nearer to its core business than those enterprises."
"They have got the infrastructure in place in terms of the website, the suppliers who'll want to sell their services and the logistic services... so it makes sense to extend that to business customers as well."


A small pipe bomb has been made safe after being thrown into the back garden of a house in east Belfast.

A number of homes were evacuated during the alert at Strand Walk in Short Strand at about 22:40 BST on Monday.
The device, which had failed to explode, has been taken away for forensic tests. Residents have returned to their homes.
Det Sgt Sean Armstrong said:  "This device had the capacity to cause serious injury."
The police are urging anyone with information to contact them.


Sudanese voters have taken part in elections expected to be won by its war-crimes-indicted president after the main opposition called for a boycott.

Small queues formed at polling stations, with voters saying the elections guaranteed stability.
The opposition and Western powers said the polls lacked credibility because of political repression.
Omar al-Bashir has been charged by the International Criminal Court (ICC) with genocide over the Darfur conflict.
The 71-year-old president, who has been in power since 1989, denies the charges.
The African Union (AU) has rejected the ICC's attempts to have him arrested, arguing that Mr Bashir enjoys presidential immunity and therefore cannot be tried while in office.
Sudan election:
Key issues:
Will Bashir be snubbed by his people?
How Sudan's election works
The BBC's James Copnall reports from Khartoum that there was a large crowd where Mr Bashir was voting, but most of them were journalists and security personnel.
Amjad Farid, spokesman for the Sudan Change Now protest group, said his wife Sandra Farouk Kodouda was detained on the eve of the polls as she went to address an anti-election rally.
The authorities have not confirmed her arrest.
Ahmed Sulieman, a university professor, said he was voting as it was the only way to guarantee a peaceful transfer of power.
"Many countries are suffering amid power struggles,'' Mr Sulieman told Associated Press news agency.
"I am here for the sake of stability and safety," he added.
Mr Bashir is being challenged by 15 little-known candidates, after the main opposition parties denounced the polls as a sham.
The UK, US and Norway have said in a statement that "an environment conducive to  participatory and credible elections does not exist" in Sudan.
The three countries form a troika which has been trying to resolve differences between the government and opposition.


Swansea City are too good to get relegated, according to former England captain Bryan Robson.

Robson, who presided over one of the most famous Great Escapes in Premier League history with West Brom, feels Swansea's class will tell in the defining weeks of the campaign.
"I just think Swansea have too many good players to go down," the former England captain told BBC Radio Wales.
"It is about which teams hold their nerve and believe in themselves."
Robson believes Swansea should focus only on their next game, away at title-chasing Arsenal, even though first-team coach Alan Curtis feels it is the contests against their rivals that will define the season.
"You can only focus on your own job though, you can't worry about the teams around you. You need to focus on your games," Robson said.
"Beat your rivals and it is more than likely to you escape.
"If you can get around the 38 point mark, that should be enough."
Wales defender Neil Taylor believes Swansea's efforts in their 2-1 defeat at Tottenham, showed their Premier League credentials.
"It was a hard game and after all that work, we are disappointed to come away with nothing," he said.
"But we can take heart from this game, there is no way we looked like a team that is dead and buried and out of it.
"There is fight in this team yet and we will have a chance.
"You can't fault players for their application at Tottenham, if mistakes were made it doesn't matter, because it was not through a lack of trying."
Swansea have only lost once in the Premier League at Arsenal, a much better record than the one they took into their White Hart Lane visit and Taylor believes the players should cling to that fact.
"Arsenal in midweek will be a similar type of game (to Tottenham), but we have a decent record at the Emirates Stadium," he said.
"We need to pick up points in these types of games, it takes the pressure off other games and that will be the key.
"So hopefully we can try and take that into the Arsenal game, but with a different result."


Charlie Nicholas says Celtic striker Moussa Dembele should not be in a rush to leave and should choose his next club carefully when he does depart.

The 20-year-old Frenchman, who has scored 18 goals this season, has been linked with a move away.
Nicholas was sold by Celtic at 21 to Arsenal, although he now accepts he should have opted for Liverpool.
"If the right club comes in then make sure it is the right club for you," Nicholas said.
"I can judge that, because I had a lot of clubs after me."
Former Aberdeen and Scotland striker Nicholas believes Dembele's career would be best served remaining in Scotland, where he can win trophies and play in the Champions League.
A lucrative move will eventually come for the French Under-21 international, Nicholas says, because "he will be a star" but he does not believe Dembele is ready to play for one of the leading clubs in England yet.
And the 55-year-old said: "Who's going to come in for Dembele at the moment who's going to spark and light his life up?
"Is he going to get a game at Arsenal? I would say not. All the top clubs? I would say not yet. In a year's time? A strong possibility.
"He's physical and playing for the French under-21s. He will be a star.
"It could be bland for him in the next five months, the title's just about wrapped up, but he's become a star very quickly.
"[Former Celtic striker Henrik] Larsson started slowly and then he's blown us all away."
Media reports have suggested West Ham - 13th in England's Premier League - are keen on Dembele, who joined Celtic in the summer from Fulham.
Since then, he has scored 19 goals for Brendan Rodgers' side - including three in the group stages of the Champions League and one in the Scottish League Cup final win over Aberdeen. Defending champions Celtic currently lead the Premiership by 19 points.
And Nicholas cautioned that moving on may result in a less favourable experience for Dembele.
"I should have gone to Liverpool - although I would never say a bad word about Arsenal - but that's the choices some of us make," added the Scot.
"[West Ham are] a team riddled in mayhem, they fight, argue and scrap with each other.
"Who's Dembele's partner going to be? Who's his supplier going to be? What is the rhythm of the team? It doesn't have one and their best player [Dmitri Payet] has said he doesn't want to be there.
"The timing is all wrong, West Ham are all wrong. That can change in six or 12 months, but there's no rush and there's no incentive for him to join West Ham. Is he going to enjoy a [relegation] scrap, or potentially end up with a treble and a great experience in the Champions League?"


Europe has launched the Lisa Pathfinder satellite, an exquisite space physics experiment.

It will test the technologies needed to detect gravitational waves - the warping of space-time produced by cataclysmic events in the cosmos.
Having such a capability would make it possible to detect the merger of monster black holes - a marker for the growth of galaxies through time.
Lisa Pathfinder went into orbit on a Vega rocket from French Guiana.
It lifted away from the Kourou spaceport at 01:04 local time (04:04 GMT).
The satellite is being sent in the direction of the Sun, to a point some 1.5 million km from Earth.
The expectation is that the European Space Agency (Esa) mission will operate for about a year.
Pathfinder contains just the single instrument, which is designed to measure and maintain a 38cm separation between two small gold-platinum blocks.
These "proof masses" will be allowed to free-fall inside the spacecraft, and a laser system will then attempt to monitor their behaviour, looking for path deviations as small as a few picometres. This is well less than the diameter of an atom.
Scaled up, it is like tracking the distance between the tops of London's Shard skyscraper and New York's One World Trade Center, and noticing any changes down to just fractions of the width of a human hair.
"We use the laser interferometer to bounce light between the proof masses and the optical structure that we built in Glasgow," says Dr Harry Ward from Glasgow University, UK.
"We then read out the phase of the laser beams as we recombine them, and motion of the proof mass translates into phase changes in the light - essentially, the light gets brighter or dimmer."
While this precision performance is relatively routine in Earth labs, it is very exacting to try to demonstrate it in space.
But if Pathfinder can prove the technology, it will pave the way for an even bigger Esa mission in the 2030s that will aim to study gravitational waves.
These are a prediction of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, and describe the rippling that occurs in the very fabric of space and time when masses accelerate, such as when stars explode.
The signal, though, is expected to be extremely subtle - hence the requirement for a super-sensitive laser interferometer like the one being trialled by Pathfinder.
And while efforts are under way right now to try to detect gravitational waves on the Earth, only an orbiting observatory would ever be able to identify the long-wavelength, low frequency signals that emanate from truly gargantuan events - like the coming together of the supermassive black holes in merging galaxies.
"Gravitational waves propagate, we believe, at the speed of light, and they carry with them knowledge about the event that caused them," explained Prof Mike Cruise from Birmingham University.
"If that's two black holes crashing into one another, we would often times be able to tell the spin of the black holes, their mass and how far apart they are; and many other details of the collision."
Scientists are particularly keen to study supermassive black holes because their creation and evolution seems to be tied inextricably to that of the galaxies that host them, and probing their properties would therefore reveal details about how the great structures we see on the sky took shape through cosmic history.
Pathfinder's cost to Esa is put at about 450m euros. However, this figure omits a lot of work funded in member states by national space agencies, and so the real price tag is much higher.
The project has experienced severe delay over the years (one previous schedule had it launching in 2008) and came seriously close to cancellation in 2007.
But such is the interest in gravitational waves that Esa member states have persisted with Pathfinder, and look certain to make the formal call for its follow-on mission at the end of next year.  Only a launch failure or significant in-orbit under-performance from the demonstrator are likely to disrupt the momentum.
Prof Tim Sumner is an experimental astrophysicist at Imperial College London. He commented: "Since the mid-1990s, we've been studying the concept of using proof masses with laser interferometry between them.
"That has been developed to a stage of maturity where we think it is ready for flight in 2034. There are other technologies being developed, such as atom interferometry that are making great progress, but to adopt that right now for a mission in 2034 would be a bit of a gamble."
Lisa Pathfinder is particularly noteworthy from a British perspective, being the first Esa mission to be led industrially by the UK since the Giotto probe was sent to Halley's Comet in the 1980s. Engineers at Airbus Defence and Space in Stevenage assembled Pathfinder and have been at the Kourou spaceport for the past month and a half, getting it ready to ride on the Vega rocket.

The UK should not accept imports of chlorinated chickens as part of any future trade deal with the US, Michael Gove has said.

The environment secretary told the BBC that the UK would not "compromise" on or "dilute" its animal welfare standards in the interests of trade.
The EU currently bans chlorine-washed chickens on welfare grounds.
International Trade Secretary Liam Fox has questioned this but downplayed the potential for UK-US disagreement.
It will be up to the UK to decide whether to retain the ban once it leaves the EU in March 2019.
On a visit to Washington on Monday, Mr Fox said chlorinated chicken was just one detail in one sector that would only be addressed at the end of discussions about a free trade deal - which are likely to be years away.
He has suggested there are no food safety issues regarding chlorine-washed chickens, a view shared by many UK experts.
In the US, it is legal to wash chicken carcasses in strongly chlorinated water.
Producers argue that it stops the spread of microbial contamination from the animal's digestive tract to the meat, while regulators agree.
The practice is banned in the EU, which argues that it could increase the risk of bacterial-based diseases such as salmonella on the grounds that dirty abattoirs with sloppy standards would rely on it as a decontaminant rather than making sure their basic hygiene protocols were up to scratch.
There are also concerns that such "washes" would be used by less scrupulous meat processing plants to increase the shelf-life of meat, making it appear fresher than it really is.
The European Food Standards Agency is currently considering whether to allow peroxyacetic acid as a poultry rinse.
Agriculture is likely to be one of the sticking points in talks over a deal, amid concerns about differing farming and welfare practices, such the use of growth hormones given to cows and cattle.
Asked whether lifting the ban on chlorinated chickens was a price to be paid for sealing a post-Brexit deal with the US, Mr Gove told BBC Radio 4's Today: "No. I have made it perfectly clear we are not going to dilute our high environmental standards or our animal welfare standards in the pursuit of a trade deal.
"We need to ensure that we do not compromise those standards. And we need to be in a position as we leave the European Union to be leaders in environmental and in animal welfare standards."
While membership of the EU meant the UK had to accept some environmental obligations "which do not work in the interests of the environment", he said the UK had been a world leader in environmental standards for decades and that would continue after Brexit.
A Lords report on Wednesday warned that UK farmers' livelihoods could be threatened by an influx of cheaper food imports from the US. It said there was evidence that UK consumers would be willing to pay more for food reared to higher standards but it remained to be seen if this would happen in practice.
Journalist Ross Clark said the European Food Standards Agency accepted there was no public health risk from chlorinated chickens and the EU's stance amounted to "protectionism in disguise".
He told Today that the UK should not be lecturing the US on food safety standards, given past scandals such as BSE and horsemeat.
