‘He’s off’, ‘He wants out’ – Some NUFC fans react to Saint-Maximin social media post
Newcastle United attacking midfielder Allan Saint-Maximin has put up a social media post that has sent tongues wagging. The Frenchman has been linked with Everton, with former Magpies boss Rafa Benitez looking to raid his old club. Saint-Maximin took to his Instagram Stories to post a Winston Churchill quote, and Newcastle fans think he is hinting at a potential summer exit. The 24-year-old revealed in June that he wants more than relegation battles ever season, and his latest social media activity has the Toon faithful concerned, with some of them reacting on Twitter to it.

25y/o reportedly to be sold by Liverpool without single appearance following £36m deal
Centre-back Ben Davies is set to leave Liverpool without having made a single appearance, according to The Sun. The Reds signed the 25-year-old for £1.5 million in January from Preston North End, but they are ready to sell him, with Sheffield United keen. However, the Blades only want him on a loan deal. Liverpool brought in Davies after losing Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip to season-ending injuries last year, but no longer have a need for him after the trio returned to full fitness and following the arrival of Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig for £36 million. Sportslens View Davies was unlucky as he suffered from injuries upon joining the Anfield side, while the Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams used that opportunity to shine. Alongside the aforementioned quartet, the duo are also...
Leeds reportedly now have great chance to secure bargain £5.2m deal for 27-year-old
Leeds can sign Okay Yokuslu from Celta Vigo this summer with the La Liga side now desperate to move him on according to a report from Marca. And according to El Desmarque, the former West Brom loanee is up for grabs for just €6 million (£5.2 million). Central midfield is clearly an area where Whites Marcelo Bielsa wants to bolster. The Argentine is seemingly keen to add more tenacity to his engine room at Elland Road. Leeds have been chasing Cagliari ace Nahitan Nandez for quite some time (Leeds Live). As things stand, however, the Uruguayan is just a bit too expensive for the West Yorkshire outfit.

Rangers reportedly to blow EPL club out of water with mouthwatering deal for defender
Rangers are interested in bringing veteran English centre-back Gary Cahill to Ibrox and hand him a £35,000-a-week contract, according to The Sun. The 35-year-old is out of contract at Crystal Palace, but the Eagles want him to stay and sign a new deal. However, while Rangers are ready to meet his demands, Palace’s offer is less basic cash, with extras for appearances. Sportslens View Cahill has nothing else to prove in England having won it all with Chelsea, and a move to link up with former Three Lions teammates Steven Gerrard and Jermain Defoe at Rangers could be appealing. The Scottish Premiership champions are giving the defender a chance to add to his medals and also play in Europe, with two qualifying rounds between them and a place in the group stages of the Champions League. Ranger...
‘Heavily linked’ – The Athletic reveal Arsenal transfer stance on £110k-per-week star
Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move for Leicester City’s attacking midfielder James Maddison this summer. The Gunners are looking to bolster their midfield, with Mikel Arteta planning to add more creativity in the middle of the park. According to reports from The Athletic, Maddison is being well appreciated by his admirers at the Emirates, but the Gunners are not actively pursuing a deal at present. The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the finest attacking midfielders in the country since joining the Foxes from Norwich City. He has progressed immensely under Brendan Rodgers, and Arsenal will have to pay over £60 million if they are serious about landing him. Maddison has three years left on a £110,000-a-week deal. Manchester United are among a host of top Eu...
28-yr-old informs friends, he wants a move to West Ham this summer
West Ham United are hoping to sign Alphonse Areola this summer and he has now informed his friends that he has his heart set on joining the Londoners. According to Football Insider, the Premier League club are in talks with Paris Saint-Germain regarding a loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the season. The French outfit value the 28-year-old goalkeeper at around £15 million and he could be the ideal long-term replacement for Lukasz Fabianski. The West Ham star is now 36 and David Moyes must start planning for life without him. Areola is at the peak of his powers and could sort out the goalkeeping position at West Ham for the foreseeable future. He played in the Premier League with Fulham last season and was quite impressive despite the club suffering relegation. Areola should be ...
Report: Mourinho now pursuing ‘more aggressively’ £13m Spurs target
Jose Mourinho is a big admirer of Marcel Sabitzer, and he wants to bring him to Roma this summer. Sabitzer has been a long-term target for Tottenham Hotspur. He was heavily linked with a move when Mourinho was at the helm, and Spurs are still interested. Last month, Italy’s famous pink paper, La Gazzetta dello Sport, claimed that Sabitzer is being targeted by Fabio Paratici as Spurs are looking to bolster their midfield. North London rivals Arsenal have also been linked with a move for the 27-year-old who bagged nine goals and eight assists last season for the Bundesliga club. It now seems Roma have joined the race, with Mourinho pursuing him more aggressively, according to EuroSport. Sportslens view The Austria international has been a top performer for Leipzig o...
Report: Chelsea enter race for £42.8m Man Utd transfer target
Chelsea have made a late approach for Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane despite Manchester United being in advanced talks with the defender, Spanish newspaper Marca reports. The French centre-back is out of contract next summer and has decided to leave Madrid after a decade, putting a host of top European clubs on alert. United were quick to make their move and are now in the final stages of completing a £42.8m move for Varane on a five-year deal. With Madrid under pressure to sell to fund their own transfer business, it has been widely reported that the deal will be announced in the coming week. However, Thomas Tuchel is keen on bringing in a central defender despite having Antonio Rudiger, Kurt Zouma, Andreas Christensen and Thiago Silva in his squad. With United in the latter stages of ...
Everton agree deal to sign Premier League winner, medical already completed – report
Everton are set to sign Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic on a free transfer, reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano reports. The Toffees expressed their interest in the Bosnia and Herzegovina international yesterday, and they have now secured an agreement to sign him. Begovic had entered the final year of his Cherries contract, and they have agreed to release him for free. He is set to sign a two-year deal with the Toffees today, having already undergone a successful medical. Sportslens view: The Toffees were actively looking for a back-up goalkeeper who could offer sufficient cover to Jordan Pickford and also compete for the position. Robin Olsen did a credible job on loan from Roma, but a permanent move for the Swede was always unlikely with the 31-year-old wanting more game time. Begovi...
Burnley set to bid for attacker, who made four goal contributions at Euro 2020 – report
Burnley have entered the race to sign West Ham United attacker Andriy Yarmolenko this summer, Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur claims. The Hammers are keen to offload Yarmolenko during the ongoing transfer window as they look to reduce his £115,000-a-week salary from their wage bill. It was recently reported that Fenerbahce could sign the Ukrainian for a cut-price £2 million fee, but it appears that they could face competition from the Clarets. Sean Dyche’s side are aiming to reinforce their attack, and they are prepared to bid around £3m to bring the 31-year-old to Turf Moor this summer. Sportslens view: Yarmolenko has struggled with injuries during his three seasons with the Hammers, and he has not been able to secure a regular starting role. Overall, he has registered a tal...
‘Bigger than Arsenal’, ‘King’: Some Chelsea fans react to recent transfer update
A selection of Chelsea fans reacted on Twitter after Olivier Giroud made the move to the Serie A with AC Milan. The 34-year-old made a good impression during his three-and-a-half seasons with the club, helping them win three trophies. He was sparingly used last term with the competition for places, but still made his mark with 11 goals across all competitions. That included six goals in the Champions League from just 257 minutes. He was the top scorer in the competition for the Blues. Giroud’s contract was extended for another season earlier in April, but it was always anticipated that he would move on. With the Blues actively searching for an elite striker, it was probably the right time for the Frenchman to pursue a fresh challenge. His departure has been met positively by many Blues fan...
‘Baller’, ‘He wasn’t lying’: Some Arsenal fans react to 21-year-old’s display vs Rangers
A section of Arsenal fans on Twitter reacted to Nuno Tavares’ performance during the 2-2 friendly draw at Rangers on Saturday afternoon. The Portuguese remains the club’s only signing of the transfer window, and he made his non-competitive debut at the Ibrox Stadium. The left-back impressed with the attacking facet of his game, but he grabbed the equalising goal for the Gunners (1-1) in the first half. He took advantage of a poor control from James Tavernier and showed good composure to get into the box before unleashing a right-footed shot from a tight angle. In his presentation interview, Tavares highlighted that he can shoot with his weaker right foot, and some fans pointed out the same after he scored. Others were pleased with the goal from the 21-year-old, which was rather unexpected....
