Report: Ancelotti wants Everton to sign Uruguay international striker
According to The Daily Telegraph, Everton have made enquiries about signing Valencia striker Maxi Gomez this summer. Manager Carlo Ancelotti wants an out-and-out striker and is interested in working with the Uruguay international. Gomez joined Valencia last summer from Celta Vigo for £13 million, but he is expected to cost less as the La Liga side look to cut costs by trimming their squad. Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Moise Kean are Everton’s current out-and-out strikers, while Richarlison can also play in the position. However, Ancelotti wants to boost his options in attack, and the chance to sign Gomez on the cheap is tempting. The 24-year-old was linked with West Ham United last summer, and he could finally move to the Premier League in the coming weeks. The Uruguayan scored 10 goals and a...
Report: Villa table bid close to £20m for Arsenal star
According to The Athletic, Aston Villa have lodged a second bid for Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and are now keen to see if they can land the Argentine. Their bid is closer to the Gunners’ £20 million asking price, but the North London giants are now waiting to see if they can land a replacement, with Brentford’s David Raya being their top target. Martinez wants to be Arsenal’s first-choice stopper this season, but it remains if that is possible with Bernd Leno now back in contention after regaining full fitness. With Pepe Reina no longer at Villa following the end of his loan spell, the 28-year-old Gunners star has a chance to establish himself as manager Dean Smith’s number 1 with Tom Heaton still currently out with a knee injury and set to miss the start of 2020-21. An injury to...
Report: Club believe 27y/o is worth more than £40m as Hammers plot move
According to The Sun, Burnley are demanding almost double the £27 million opening bid West Ham United have tabled for James Tarkowski. Hammers boss David Moyes wants to bolster his centre-back options after seeing his side fall apart defensively in a 5-3 loss at the hands of relegated Bournemouth on Saturday. Tarkowski has proven to be one of the best defenders in the top-flight over the years, and he has the quality it takes to significantly improve West Ham at the back. The London Stadium will have to break the bank to land the signature of the 27-year-old, though. Burnley are aware that Bournemouth got £40 million from Manchester City for the services of Dutch centre-back Nathan Ake, and they believe that Tarkowski is worth considerably more. The England international made 47 blocks, 63...

Journalist: PL rival willing to offer £27m to sign player Mourinho wants at Spurs
According to Spanish journalist, Senen Escalante, Manchester United are leading the race to sign Real Madrid full-back Sergio Reguilon. Last week, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claimed that the Real Madrid left-back has been offered to Manchester United. Reguilon spent the last season on loan at Sevilla and helped the Spanish club win the Europa League. The 23-year-old has no future at Real Madrid and it would be better for him to move on this summer. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and Madrid are ready to offload him. It has been reported that Los Blancos will demand around €20-25 million (£18-22m) for the player. Escalante claims that the defender will not be joining Sevilla this summer. The La Liga club are willing to offer him €20...
