Report: Serie A giants want £29m Everton man following managerial change
According to Tuttosport (via The Sun), Juventus want to sign Everton striker Moise Kean this summer as new manager Andrea Pirlo looks to make necessary squad changes this summer. The Italian wants to strengthen his side’s attack for the new campaign, and he also has eyes on AS Roma’s Edin Dzeko after telling Gonzalo Higuain that he isn’t part of his plans. Kean only joined Everton from Juve last summer for an initial £29 million, but he could be on his way back after struggling in his first season in England and ending the campaign with just two goals. A chance to return to Turin on loan could be on the cards, and the fact that he would free up an extra spot in their Champions League squad as he could be named on the B list having come through their academy could appeal to Juventus. Kean s...

‘I’m a bit angry’ – Son reacts to what happened during Spurs v Ipswich clash
Tottenham Hotspur kicked off their pre-season preparations with a friendly against Ipswich Town on Saturday, running out 3-0 winners thanks to goals from Ryan Sessegnon and Heung-Min Son. The South Korean bagged a brace and while it’s a good way to starting preparing for 2020-21, he is a little bit disappointed with his performance as he reckons he should have scored more goals. Son ended last season with 18 goals and 11 assists across all competitions, but the return wasn’t enough to help win Spurs silverware or secure them Champions League football. He is hoping to do more next term, and has admitted he wasn’t happy with missing chances against the League One side. “I’m a bit angry because I missed another couple of chances,” Son told Tottenham’s official website. “This is what I have to...
Report: Fulham make approach to sign £22.5m-rated striker wanted by Bayer Leverkusen
Fulham have made an enquiry for AS Roma striker Patrik Schick, reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed. The Cottagers have experienced a relatively quiet summer transfer window and they have made just one new addition to the squad in the form of Antonee Robinson. With nearly six weeks remaining before the transfer deadline, they still have plenty of time to strengthen the side and their main focus could lie on recruiting a new centre-forward. Aleksandar Mitrovic netted 26 goals in the club’s promotion campaign from the Championship last term, but no other player was able to reach double figures in terms of scoring. Hence, manager Steve Parker will definitely want to bolster the strikeforce ahead of the new Premier League season and Romano has revealed that the club have made an enq...
Allan Saint-Maximin’s one-word reaction as Jeff Hendrick joins Newcastle United
Newcastle United have completed the signing of former Burnley midfielder Jeff Hendrick, and the Republic of Ireland international is joining on a four-year deal. The 28-year-old was also reportedly wanted by AC Milan, but he has joined the Magpies on a free and will help boost their options in the middle of the park. Hendrick is Newcastle’s second arrival of the summer transfer window after goalkeeper Mark Gillespie arrived from Motherwell on a free transfer earlier in the transfer window. While he isn’t the type of marquee addition Magpies fans were dreaming of after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund were linked with a £300 million takeover, the Irishman brings Premier League quality and experience to the table having played 122 top-flight games for Burnley. It will be interesting to ...

Ben Chilwell to Chelsea latest: £50 million move could collapse
Chelsea appeared to be just days away from making Ben Chilwell as the new signing at Stamford Bridge. However, the Blues have received a major setback, according to the Sun, as Chilwell has a fitness problem that would prevent the deal from progressing through.

The 23-year-old was unavailable for the last few games of Leicester’s season. Now, an injury might make him unavailable for Chelsea’s initial few matches – if he does make the switch to Stamford Bridge. Even though Chilwell will be a long-term investment for the club, there are rumours that Chelsea do not want to take any chances on such a massive investment. A source told the Sun:...

The 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford for quite a while. There have been rumours linking the player with the likes of Juventus and Barcelona.
