West Ham keen on signing €32m-rated player, Tottenham admire him as well
West Ham United are interested in signing Lille defender Sven Botman. According to Sky Sports, Newcastle United, Crystal Palace, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City also admire the player. The 21-year-old is regarded as one of the most exciting defensive talents around Europe after helping Lille win the Ligue 1 title last season. He is open to moving to the Premier League and would be an excellent signing for several of his suitors, particularly West Ham. They need to bring in quality reinforcements, with the team set to embark on a Europa League campaign this season. They cannot hope to succeed in that competition without a strong defensive unit, and Botman looks to be an ideal fit.

Newcastle in pole position to sign 23-yr-old, player delighted by the club’s interest
Newcastle United are now in pole position to sign the Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe. The 23-year-old is expected to leave Old Trafford after the arrival of Raphael Varane from Real Madrid and the Chronicle are reporting that the player is delighted with the interest from the Magpies.

The player has worked with Steve Bruce in the past and he will be hoping to hold down a regular starting berth under his management. Newcastle will be hoping to improve on their performances from last season and they will have to tighten up at the back in order t...

Burnley winger Dwight McNeil has repeatedly been linked with a move away from Turf Moor this summer. According to Football Insider, Everton are pushing to sign the highly talented winger, but they face strong competition from Aston Villa. McNeil has been outstanding for Burnley over the past year, and it is no surprise that his performances have caught the attention of other Premier League clubs. Everton need more depth in wide areas, and the Burnley star would be a superb long term investment. However, they will have to sell before buying any more players due to financial fair play regulations. This could give Villa an edge in the transfer chase. McNeil bagged two goals and five assists in the Premier League last season, and he has a contract with Burnley until 2024. The 21-year-old ...

1 PL assist since 2019, 2 PL goals since 2020 – Aston Villa must sell £32k-per-week man
Aston Villa have significantly strengthened their attack this summer with the signing of Emiliano Buendia from Norwich City. They are also trying to lure Leon Bailey away from Bayer Leverkusen, so might that spell the end for Trezeguet? The 26-year-old has been a good servant for Villa since his arrival two years ago, but he’s never been a prolific wide man and now has stiff competition for a starting place. Trezeguet joined the Midlands outfit in 2019 from Kasimpasa and has made 63 appearances in all competitions, bagging nine goals with five assists. The £32k-per-week Egyptian international was a regular in his debut season but found playing time harder to come by in 2020/21. Trezeguet has made only one assist in the Premier League since 2019 and has scored only two Premier League goals ...
