It seemed to stem from Denis Bouanga and Pedro Neto having some words, with others joining after.

Reece James didn't look happy and got right in there.

The players don't seem to be lacking passion at the Club World Cup, even after their very long season.

We might end up seeing a feisty second half now...

talkSPORT understands that Milos Kerkez's proposed move to Liverpool is getting closer.

The Cherries confirmed the arrival of Adrien Truffert from Rennes earlier today, which is expected to accelerate the transfer of Kerkez to Anfield.

The Hungarian left-back is the club's top target to come in at left-back.

Andrew Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas are currently the options there, but the former is getting older and has been linked with a move away.

Meanwhile, Tsimikas has never been able to nail down a starting spot.

Bournemouth have confirmed the signing of Adrien Truffert from Rennes.

The left-back joins the Cherries on a five-year deal, and the club are paying 17 million Euros.

His arrival is widely expected to be the catalyst for Milos Kerkez to join Liverpool.

The Reds have identified the Hungarian international to add competition at left-back, and the two clubs have been talks over a deal for some time.

But with Truffert now at Bournemouth, Kerkez's proposed transfer might accelerate.

Speaking to the club's website, the Frenchman said: “I’m really happy and proud to join AFC Bournemouth.

I’m looking forward to testing myself at this level, facing top players every week, and helping the team achieve great things.”

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has indicated that the Blues will definitely sign a left winger this summer.

Jadon Sancho won't be joining the cub after they refused to pay the £25 million obligation to buy from Manchester United.

Instead, Chelsea opted to pay a penalty fee.

They have also seen a move for Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund stall.

But Maresca has tried to ease any fears Chelsea fans might have.

Speaking ahead of their opening game at the Club World Cup against LAFC, he said: "Jadon is not with us so for sure that is a position [winger] we need to do something.

"We have Noni [Madueke], Pedro [Neto] and Ty [George] only as the proper wingers so something for sure is going to happen.

"When the transfer window is open, for sure, we can do something."
