West Ham Agree Deal To Sign Highly Rated Lille Midfielder Amadou Onana
West Ham United have agreed a fee of £33.5m (40m euros) plus add ons to sign Amadou Onana from French side Lille. David Moyes has been looking to bolster his squad ahead of their second consecutive season playing European football. They’ll be facing either Viborg of Denmark or B36 Tórshavn of the Faroe Islands in the UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round. Onana should be a Hammers player by the time their Europe campaign gets underway, where he’ll join the likes of fellow former Ligue 1 players in Nayef Aguerd (Rennes) and Alphonse Areola (PSG). Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca also signed for the London side last week. The 20-year-old Belgian has come out of nowhere, becoming one of Ligue 1’s most wanted young talents, with Everton also interested in him. Liverpool manager Jurgen ...

I turned many loans down.” “Wasting 12 months is criminal at my age.” Dean Henderson hits out at #MUFC in an exclusive interview with talkSPORT. 🚨 Everyone is talking about th...
Napoli President Pledges to Never Sign an African Player Again Unless They Skip the AFCON
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis launched into an extraordinary rant over some of the club’s key absentees during the Africa Cup of Nations last season, vowing to never sign a player from the continent again unless they agree not to play in the competition. The Italian film producer could not hide his frustration at having to release players for several weeks to accommodate their participation in the biannual tournament. Kalidou Koulibaly, now of Chelsea, and Andre Zambo Anguissa represented Senegal and Cameroon respectively and thus missed out on a string of Serie A fixtures at the start of 2022. Their main target man Victor Osimhen would also have likely made the trip had it not been for a COVID infection. “I told them, lads, don’t talk to me about Africans anymore. “I love th...
