Di Marzio: Spurs considering to include 27 y/o forward in negotiation to sign 13-goal star
Napoli are most likely to finish outside the top four in the Serie A this season. The Naples club could be forced to offload some of their key players this summer. It seems Arkadiusz Milik could be one of them. According to reports from Gialucadimarzio.com, Napoli are working on two separate deals simultaneously. They are looking to sign Victor Osimhen, and at the same time are working to offload Milik. The Polish striker will not renew his contract with Napoli, and he is likely to be sold. However, not many clubs in Europe are in a position to sign him due to his high price tag. Therefore, Napoli are looking at the possibility of a part-exchange deal where an opposition player is involved. The striker is keen on a move to Juventus, but there is strong interest from Tottenham as well....
Report: Tottenham hope to replace 27-yr-old first team ace with PL defender this summer
Tottenham are keen on signing Max Aarons from Norwich City this summer. The Londoners are open to selling Serge Aurier and replacing him with the young defender. The 27-year-old hasn’t exactly been a reliable presence for Spurs this season. Aarons is highly rated in England and he has impressed in his debut season in the Premier League so far. When Norwich go down, he should look to move on to a bigger club. The Norwich City defender is too good for the Championship. If Spurs manage to sign him, it would be a superb long-term investment for them. Aarons is only 20-years-old and he could sort out their right-back position for the next decade. The Norwich defender is only going to get better with experience and coaching. It would be quite a coup for the Londoners. As per the Athletic, Mourin...

Report: Everton can sign 9-cap int’l by paying €5m extra from their latest offer
It is an open secret that Everton need to sign a central midfielder this summer. The departure of Morgan Schneiderlin indicates that Carlo Ancelotti will be looking to sign a new central midfielder. The likes of Fabian Delph and Tom Davies have been disappointing as well this season. The Toffees have been linked with a host of midfielders but one name keeps on coming back, again and again, is Napoli’s Allan. The 29-year-old defensive midfielder has managed 17 Serie A appearances, where he scored one goal and provided one assist. He made five starts in the Champions League as well. Ancelotti knows him very well, having coached him at Napoli, and wants to bring him to the Merseyside club. [embedded content] However, with Napoli, one thing is very clear. It’s not easy to out-haggle them at th...
Report: Celtic plotting move for 29-yr-old ace who has been linked with Rangers
Celtic are thought to be keen on the former St Mirren keeper Vaclav Hladky. Neil Lennon’s side are on the lookout for a new keeper and the move for Fraser Forster has proven to be difficult. The Saints ace was on loan at Celtic this past season and the Hoops want to sign him permanently. However, the finances involved have complicated the deal. As per Football Insider, Hladky is an alternative to Forster. It will be interesting to see if Celtic make their move for the 29-year-old now. The Czech keeper is a free agent right now and he could prove to be a superb addition for a bargain. He has done well in the SPL over the last year and a half. He has been linked with Rangers as well. Celtic need to sign a quality keeper and it remains to be seen who they end up with. They will be going for t...
‘Already done’ – Former PL manager claims Man Utd will sign 24-yr-old star this summer
Former Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood claims that Jack Grealish to Manchester United is ‘already done’. Sherwood said to Premier League productions (quotes via Metro): “I think Jack Grealish is a deal which is already done. He’s a player that they [Manchester United] need. I honestly believe there’s only one club for Jack Grealish. I don’t think he can stay at Aston Villa, he needs to progress his career. I think he signs for Manchester United.” The midfielder has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for weeks now. It will be interesting to see if he ends up at Manchester United next season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could use an attacking midfielder like Grealish and he would be a superb signing for the Red Devils for the right price. As for the player, he needs to join a big club in...
Report: Tottenham keen on 24-yr-old ace who will cost £16m, Jose Mourinho is a big admirer
Tottenham are thought to be keen on signing the Lille keeper Mike Maignan this summer. The 24-year-old has done well for the Ligue 1 side and he is being eyed as the long term replacement for Hugo Lloris as per Sun. Jose Mourinho needs to plan for life without Lloris now and bringing in a talented young keeper would be a good move. Lloris is 33 and he is regressing. The Spurs star needs more competition and Maignan would be ideal. The Lille ace has kept 13 clean sheets this past season and he has the talent to develop into a top player. It will be interesting to see if Spurs can agree on a deal with Lille in the coming months. The Londoners have limited resources this summer but Lille’s asking price of £16million should be within their reach. The report adds that Jose Mourinho is a bi...
Mark Clattenburg weighs in on VAR decision that potentially cost Spurs against Sheffield
Sheffield United secured a 3-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Bramall Lane last night to move into seventh place in the Premier League table. The Blades’ first victory since the restart kept their European dreams alive as they are now five points behind Manchester United and Wolves. It however dealt a huge blow on Tottenham’s, with VAR potentially playing a huge role in their defeat. Sander Berge put Sheffield ahead after the half-hour mark, but Spurs immediately hit back through Harry Kane only for VAR to chalk off the goal because of a handball by Lucas Moura in the build-up. It left Jose Mourinho fuming post-game, and even his opposite number Chris Wilder branded the decision a farce. Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has weighed in with his opinion, and he believes the blam...
