Report: West Ham looking to raid London rivals for 25-yr-old this summer
Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri has been linked with a move away from the club and it will be interesting to see if he can secure his exit before the transfer window closes next month. According to Independent, Inter Milan are keen on signing the defender but they will face competition from Premier League side West Ham.

Jamie O’Hara brutally trolls Agbonlahor for comparing Aston Villa man with prime Iniesta
Jack Grealish confirmed his commitment to Aston Villa by signing a new deal at the club yesterday. The Aston Villa captain was outstanding last season, and he was heavily linked with a move away from the club this summer. However, he has decided to stay put, much to the delight of Villa fans. He has received tons of good messages from fans, former players, pundits, and players from other clubs. However, he would surely shake his head in disbelief after what Villa cult-hero Gabriel Agbonlahor has said on talkSport today. We all know and agree that Grealish is a brilliant player, but Agbonlahor has taken the praise to the next level by comparing him with ‘prime’ Andres Iniesta. It has sparked a massive reaction among the football fans, with Agbonlahor facing a brutal backlash of public ...
Report: Newcastle keen on 14-goal star linked with Spurs, contacts initiated already
Newcastle are thought to be keen on signing another striker this summer and they have initiated contact with Napoli regarding Arkadiusz Milik. The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in the recent weeks. The report (h/t Sportwitness) claims that Tottenham and Roma are keen on the player as well and Napoli have dropped their asking price to €20m plus bonuses. It seems quite reasonable and Newcastle should be able to afford him. Milik managed to score 14 goals for Napoli last season and he could prove to be a quality addition to Steve Bruce’s attack. Newcastle signed Callum Wilson earlier this summer and he has looked pretty impressive so far. He could partner Milik in the attack if the Napoli ace moves to St James’ Park this summer. It will be interest...

Report shares consortium’s seven-year biz plan as it plots Hammers takeover
According to The Sun, West Ham United have knocked back a second offer of £400 million from a US consortium to buy the club. The improved bid from the American group was made three weeks ago after the initial £350 million offer was rejected, but Hammers’ owners still aren’t keen on selling. Joint chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold value the London Stadium club far higher than what has been put on the table so far, but there is hope a settlement can be agreed in the coming weeks. As a result, a third bid is expected, but if info on CEO Karren Brady’s website is anything to go by, West Ham are currently valued around £800 million, and it remains to be seen if the owners will stick with it. The US-based group is preparing for the challenges ahead post-takeover, though, and is hoping to tu...

Also, the 85-cap Welsh international is likely to play every week at Spurs and that will certainly help. Jose Mourinho needs to add goals, pace and flair to his side and Bale would be a tremendous upgrade on the likes of Erik Lamela. It will be ...
Tottenham Hotspur could reportedly sacrifice midfielder to sign ‘special talent’
According to The Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur are open to including Dele Alli in a deal to sign Gareth Bale from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window. It has been reported that Bale is open to returning to the Premier League this summer. Manchester United are interested in signing the Wales international winger, and so are Premier League rivals Tottenham, according to the report. It has been further claimed that Spurs are open to including 24-year-old England international midfielder Alli in a potential swap deal with Madrid and bring Bale – described as “a special talent” by former Tottenham midfielder Micky Hazard in The Daily Star last month – back to the North London club. Does swapping Gareth Bale for Dele Alli make sense? Alli is a very talented midfielder, but the England ...
‘£20m on a spare CB’ – Phil Hay provides update on Leeds’ defensive transfer plans
Leeds United kicked off life back in the English top-flight with a 4-3 loss to Liverpool at Anfield, and head coach Marcelo Bielsa wouldn’t have been delighted with his side’s defensive performance. Summer arrival Robin Koch put in a great shift despite mistakenly gifting the hosts a penalty, and it’s safe to say that Ben White wasn’t greatly missed. Leeds are still looking to sign another centre-back and have been linked with Manchester United’s Axel Tuanzebe and Dinamo Zagreb centre-back Josko Gvardiol. The latter appears closer to a move to Elland Road, but nothing has been heard about the deal of recent. According to The Athletic’s Phil Hay, Leeds are still very much keen on the 18-year-old and talking about him, but they have reservations about spending £20 million on a squad player. ...

The 25-year-old Netherlands international central defender recently left Bournemouth for Manchester City in the summer transfer window for a fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £40 million.
