Man City & Red Devils reportedly ready to offer Spurs star £80m in wages
Manchester City and Manchester United are ready to offer Harry Kane £80 million in wages in order to tempt him from Tottenham Hotspur this summer, according to The Sun. The 27-year-old wants to leave Spurs at the end of the season with Champions League football unavailable again next term, and both Pep Guardiola and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are ready to go head-to-head to bring him to Manchester. City and United are both prepared to hand Kane a five-year contract with a £300,000-a-week basic salary. Tottenham value the England international at £150 million, but they could be forced to do business for around £30m less if Kane insists on leaving. Man City and Man Utd would have ended up paying the star striker around £78m in wages at the end of five years should he join either of them, and there...

NUFC reportedly want 25-goal British striker, Fulham & Blades keen too
Newcastle United, Sheffield United and Fulham all want Sporting Kansas City forward Johnny Russell, according to The Sun. The Magpies have relied heavily on Callum Wilson, with the trio of Joelinton, Dwight Gayle and Andy Carroll not firing on all cylinders – they have six Premier League goals between them this term. The England international, who has 12 league goals for Newcastle, has struggled with injuries and manager Steve Bruce is eyeing another quality option. Russell has been one of the most consistent top performers in the Major League Soccer in recent seasons and has caught the eye of scouts in England.

Spurs reportedly eyeing Brazilian striker Pochettino dubbed ‘very talented player’ as Kane’s replacement
Tottenham Hotspur have been preparing for Harry Kane’s potential summer departure, according to Sportsmail. The England international has told the North London outfit he wants to leave at the end of the campaign and is eager to remain in the Premier League. Manchester United and Manchester City are keen on Kane, and Spurs are starting to make enquiries about potential replacements. Tottenham recruitment staff have already identified which players they might be able to take in part-exchange from both Manchester clubs, with City’s Gabriel Jesus and United’s Anthony Martial on their radar. The Frenchman has notched seven goals and four assists across all competitions this term but has been out injured since March. Martial, 25, has bagged 55 Premier League goals and 26 assists since joining Ma...
Southampton confirm signing of two-time FA Cup winner on a permanent deal
Southampton have confirmed that Theo Walcott will join the club permanently following the expiry of his Everton contract next month. The 32-year-old, a two-time FA Cup winner, made his comeback with the Saints after 14 years last summer as he joined on a season-long loan from the Toffees. He has since registered three goals and three assists from 24 appearances in all competitions despite missing a couple of months through a hamstring injury. The Saints have now announced that the winger has agreed to put pen-to-paper on a two-year deal when his Toffees contract expires in June. “I’m not sure I can properly express how happy I am about this,” he was quoted as saying by the club’s official website. “Southampton is a club that means so much to me, and it has been incredibly special for me to...
Journalist claims Everton could cash in on 19-goal player for a fee of around €45-50m
Everton are prepared to cash in on the Italian striker Moise Kean this summer. The 21-year-old has been on loan at Paris Saint-Germain this season after failing to make his mark in English football last year. Kean has been an exceptional signing for PSG on a loan deal and he has scored 19 goals in all competitions for the French outfit. The striker has been linked with the likes of Juventus and PSG in recent months and it remains to be seen where he ends up. It is highly unlikely that the player will return to Everton for the next season. He is clearly not a key part of Carlo Ancelotti’s plans and he will struggle to hold down a regular starting berth at Goodison Park with the likes of Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin ahead of him in the pecking order. Kean needs to move to a club whe...
Rodrigo De Paul’s 18-word comment on why he didn’t join Leeds last summer
Udinese midfielder Rodrigo de Paul sent Leeds United fans into a frenzy last September after hinting on social media that he would love to move to Elland Road ahead of the 2020-21 campaign. Peacocks head coach Marcelo Bielsa reportedly had the Argentine star on top of his transfer list as he prepared for life in the Premier League at the time, and Leeds fanzine The Square Ball podcast claimed on Twitter that he was keen on the move but that it rested on both clubs reaching an agreement on a fee. De Paul replied to their claim with a ‘Yes’, adding a fingers-crossed emoji only to delete the tweet a few minutes later. It was too little, too late, though, as Leeds faithful were confident that he was very to join the Whites. A move never happened, with both clubs failing to reach an agreement o...
Report suggests Tottenham have expressed an interest in 22-yr-old defender
Tottenham Hotspur are thought to be interested in signing the Sassuolo defender Mert Muldur. According to Kronen Zeitung (via Spox), the Premier League club have already expressed an interest in signing the 22-year-old right-back this summer. The Turkish defender has a contract with the Italian club until the summer of 2024 and it remains to be seen whether Sassuolo are keen on cashing in on the player this summer. The likes of Serge Aurier and Matt Doherty have been disappointing for Tottenham this season and the Londoners need to invest in a quality right back before the start of the next season. Muldur is a talented young full-back who can operate as a right-sided winger as well. He has the potential to develop into a quality player for Spurs and his signing could prove to be a wise lon...
Arsenal midfielder linked with move to Ligue 1 club
As per a report from French publication Le 10 Sport, Ligue 1 club Marseille are confident of wrapping up a deal for Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi. The 22-year-old has spent the season on loan in Germany with Hertha Berlin, making 34 appearances and scoring two goals. The midfielder has been impressive for the capital side but suffered a metatarsal injury a few days ago that ruled him out of the remaining games of the season. Le 10 Sport state that the French club have been tracking Guendouzi for many weeks and are keen on making a transfer move. With the Frenchman set to return to the Emirates following his loan spell, the Gunners have put him on sale with his contract coming to an end in the summer of 2022. And it is the French club who are best placed to take the midfielder aw...
