Report shares why £36m man is seeking transfer away from West Ham
According to The Sun, Brazil international attacking midfielder Felipe Anderson is seeking a transfer away from West Ham United after being sidelined by manager David Moyes. The 27-year-old is down the boss’ pecking order after struggling to impress last term, and he is considering his future at the London Stadium as a result. Anderson is open to returning to Lazio who are currently looking for a midfielder after David Silva snubbed them for Real Sociedad, but the Serie A outfit only want to pay around half of the initial £36 million West Ham parted with for his signature in the summer of 2016. Despite his recent struggles in the attacking third, the Brazilian isn’t short of options, with some clubs in Italy, France and Spain monitoring his situation with the Hammers. The London club are o...
Report: Leicester leading the race to sign defender who was ‘extremely close’ to joining Leeds
Leicester City are considering making a move for Ryan Nolan, according to reports from The Sun. The 21-year-old is a highly-rated young centre-back who plays in the third division of Italian football. He is currently playing for Giana Erminio on loan from Arezzo. He was previously on the books at Inter Milan.

Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers are also interested. He has two years left on his contract in Italy, but Arezzo are happy to le...

Report: Fulham looking to beat Spurs & EPL trio to signature of England international
According to The Telegraph, Fulham have joined Tottenham Hotspur and co. in the pursuit of Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson. The 28-year-old is keen to remain in the English top-flight following the Cherries relegation, and Aston Villa, West Ham United and Newcastle United are also keeping tabs on him. Fulham relied heavily on Aleksandar Mitrovic last term, with the Serbian starting 40 Championship games. Manager Scott Parker wants to boost his striking ranks and he wants to add Wilson to his squad as they prepare for life back in the Premier League. The England international brings top-flight experience to the table and guarantees goals when presented with opportunities. Spurs want him as a back-up to Harry Kane, but Wilson wants to play regularly and could fancy his chances of getting f...
Report: Tottenham looking to sign 11-goal attacker from PL giants
Tottenham are plotting a surprise loan move for the Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster this summer. The 20 year old was on loan at Swansea City last season and he managed to score 11 goals for them. It is no surprise that Tottenham are looking to bring in a backup option to Harry Kane. However, their interest (via Football Insider) in Brewster is a bit of a surprise. The Liverpool youngster needs to join a club where he can play week in week out and a backup role at Tottenham is not ideal for him at all. Furthermore, if he was satisfied with the backup role he could get that at Liverpool. A move to Tottenham does not make sense at all. It will be interesting to see where Brewster ends up this summer. He is highly rated at Liverpool and regular football will be the key to his development next...

Everton are interested in signing the Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot this summer. The 21 year old is unwanted at Old Trafford and he needs a move in order to play regular first team football. As per O Jogo (via Sportwitness), PSG are interested in signing the right back as well. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer prefers Wan-Bissaka and Fosu-Mensah as his first and second choice fullbacks. It is evident that Dalot is not a part of his plans next season. It will be interesting to see if Everton can agree on a deal with the Red Devils for the defender. Everton need to improve their full back options and Dalot could prove to be a very good addition for them. Carlo Ancelotti could help the youngster develop and improve as a player with regular football at Goodison Park. Manchester United paid €22 mi...

Report: Everton make contact to sign versatile defender, Ancelotti has requested the transfer
Everton are in contact with Roma regarding the signing of Alessandro Florenzi. The versatile defender was on loan at Valencia last season and he’s not a key player for the Italian side. Roma are likely to cash in on the player if a good offer comes in this summer. According to Sky Sports Italy, Carlo Ancelotti has requested Everton to sign the defender as a competition for Seamus Coleman. It will be interesting to see if Everton can agree on a fee with Roma now. Considering the player’s situation at the club, the Italian giants are unlikely to deny him a move to the Premier League, provided there is a reasonable offer.

Report: Wolves and Fulham keen to sign £25m midfielder…but rival club favourites to land him
According to reports from Evening Standard, Premier League duo – Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham – have joined the race to sign Abdoulaye Doucoure. However, Everton are still favourites to sign the 27-year-old. Earlier this week, GFFN reported that the Toffees have submitted a bid for the French midfielder but the Hornets have turned it down. Everton are preparing an improved offer for the box to box midfielder as Doucoure seems to be a priority target for Ancelotti. Watford, who will play in the Championship next season, are keen to offload him. But they want an initial £25million upfront to sanction a sale. The Toffees are clearly the frontrunners due to their long-standing interest in the Frenchman, but they could face strong competition from the likes of Wol...
Report: Aston Villa unlikely to get their £30 million target for cheap
Aston Villa face a tough fight on their hands to sign Callum Wilson, as Bournemouth are increasingly determined to hold on to the striker for the best deal possible. Despite relegation to Championship, Bournemouth remain in a good position to convince Wilson to remain at the Vitality Stadium. The club have a sizeable parachute payment coming into the books, while Nathan Ake’s departure has also generated £40 million.

Yet, Bournemouth are not ready to let him leave on a cheap and the Cherries are placing their valuation of £30 million, according to Birmingham Mail. Villa remain very keen on a ...
Claudio Bravo sends message to Manchester City fans following exit
Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has left Manchester City after four years at the Etihad Stadium. The 37-year-old joined the Premier League side from Barcelona in the summer of 2016, featuring in 61 games across all competitions and winning two Premier League titles and two League Cups. Bravo was Pep Guardiola’s first-choice goalkeeper during his debut campaign at the club, but he struggled to impress and was dropped to the bench following the arrival of Ederson the following summer. The Chilean was one of the best back-up goalies in the English top-flight and was always keen to prove himself anytime he was called into action. Bravo won’t be short of options following his City departure, and he has sent this message to the club and fans on Twitter: Thank you for all @ManCity a big pleasure...
