Report: West Ham United no longer in the running to sign Englishman
According to The Mirror (Transfer Live blog, 8:21am, October 5, 2020), West Ham United are no longer in the running for Everton forward Theo Walcott. It has been reported that the former Arsenal man could leave Everton on loan on summer transfer deadline day. Southampton have made enquires about signing the 31-year-old, but West Ham are no longer in the running for the England international’s signature, according to the report. TEAMtalk recently claimed that West Ham have made contact with Everton over signing the Englishman on a loan deal.

According to talkSPORT, Everton are interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga before tonight’s transfer deadline. BREAKING: Liverpool & Everton are both interested in signing Paulo Gazzaniga. – talkSPORT sources understand. 📻 Listen → https://t.co/VJgUHnqdM1 pic.twitter.com/yCJ4ay7T3S — talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) October 5, 2020 The Argentine is surplus to requirements at Spurs, with Joe Hart now second-choice behind Hugo Lloris.

‘Bring him’, ‘Do it’, some Liverpool fans favour late move for 28-year-old goalkeeper
A section of Liverpool fans on Twitter have welcomed the possibility of goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga joining the club from Tottenham Hotspur on deadline day. The Reds suffered an embarrassing 7-2 defeat at Aston Villa last night where goalkeeper Adrian was at fault for the opening goal conceded. Besides this, the Spaniard struggled with his positioning over the course of the game and The Independent has reported that the Reds are eyeing a new shot-stopper. Alisson has been the undisputed choice in goal over the past two seasons, but the Brazilian could be out for a while after sustaining a shoulder injury in training. Adrian has looked uncertain in goal on a number of occasions this year and it appears that the Reds could make an attempt to sign Gazzaniga from Spurs. The 28-year-old has drop...
Report: Southampton have made their decision on Chelsea player
Southampton will not sign Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Premier League rivals Chelsea on summer transfer deadline day, according to The Sun (Transfer Live blog, 9:17am, October 5, 2020). It has been reported that the Saints hope to sign one or two players on loan today, but Loftus-Cheek will not move to St. Mary’s Stadium. That’s because the wages of the 24-year-old England international is too much for Southampton, who have also signed Ibrahima Diallo for £12.7 million, according to the report in the British tabloid. Leaving Chelsea out on loan Loftus-Cheek is a very good and dynamic box-to-box player who can only get better if he plays regularly. It is hard to see the 24-year-old get much playing time at Chelsea this season, and it would make sense for him to find a new club. The England inter...
