The unnamed player was incensed at suggestions he'd be replaced

A Premier League star has ordered canteen staff not to show Sky Sports News when he's around after being left 'fuming' by a transfer rumour, according to reports.

The transfer window shut on August 30, with the likes of Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho and Manuel Ugarte all moving on deadline day.


But one unnamed player was livid with Sky Sports News after finding themselves the subject of a rumour, The Sun say.

It's claimed that the 'fuming' footballer was also incensed as his team-mates laughed about the speculation, having been tipped to be replaced.

The unhappy star 'grabbed the remote' to turn the channel off.

And he also told canteen staff that the channel 'should not be on' when he's around.

The player hasn't been named - but fans are likely to dig deep to find out the identity of the star in question.

With the window now shut, Brighton actually had the highest net spend in the Premier League - with the Seagulls £153.6million worse off.

They paid a club record fee of £39.9m for Leeds' Georginio Rutter, while the likes of Yankuba Minteh, Ferdi Kadioglu, Brajan Gruda, Mats Wieffer and Ibrahim Osman all touched down as well.

Ipswich had the second highest net spend with £107.6m as they look to stay in the top flight at the first time of asking.

Manchester United were third, with the Red Devils forking out £180.7m on players such as Ugarte, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee.

Completing the top four when it comes to net spend was West Ham, who have won just one of their three league matches so far.

Some of the biggest deals happened overseas, however.
