West Ham likely to submit an offer to 107-cap international this summer
Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is set to leave the Premier League club when his contract expires this summer, and he on the radar of West Ham United and AC Milan. According to Eurosport, the Hammers have been following the 107-cap French international for some time and are likely to submit an offer in the coming weeks.

Michail Antonio has done a reasonably good job for the Hammers as a striker, but David Moyes must bring in an upgrade if h...
Patrick Vieira says Daniel Ek will try again to buy Arsenal, time for a change
Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira has said that Daniel Ek will make a fresh bid to buy the club despite the owners having no intention to sell.

Vieira has now revealed that the Spotify co-founder will make a fresh approach as he is a huge fan of the north London club. He added that the 38-year-old is prepared to stay patient and wait for the opportunity t...

‘Does that mean he’s leaving, pls stay’ – Some NUFC fans react to ASM’s post
Newcastle United attacking midfielder Allan Saint-Maximin has been linked with Roma, with the Italians’ new manager Jose Mourinho an admirer of his style of play. The Frenchman is expected to attract more suitors this summer, but the Magpies are not looking to let their best player leave after just two seasons. Newcastle currently value Saint-Maximin at around £70 million, and that is likely to scare off Roma and other interested clubs. The 24-year-old ended 2020-21 with three goals and four assists in 25 Premier League games, but he brings more than his contributions in the final third to the table. The winger gets Newcastle fans off their seats with his pace and ability to beat his markers with ease, and it is not surprising to hear that Mourinho wants him. Saint-Maximin took to Instagra...
