Report: Tottenham keen on £15m-rated defender who impressed in La Liga last season
Tottenham are looking to sign the Watford left-back Pervis Estupinan this summer. According to Mirror’s print edition (h/t HITC), Barcelona are keeping tabs on the 22-year-old defender as well. Estupinan was on loan at Osasuna last season and he managed to impress in La Liga. He could be the ideal alternative to Ben Davies next season. Jose Mourinho needs to upgrade on his current full-back options and add some depth to the position as well. It will be interesting to see if the Londoners can agree on a fee with the Hornets now. Estupinan is expected to cost around £15m. The defender is yet to play for Watford and he has spent the last few seasons on loan in Spain. The 22-year-old is quite impressive going forward and he will add a new dimension to Tottenham’s play. Davies is a reliabl...
Report: Wolves could offer around £23m for star who scored 25 goals last season
Wolves have been linked with the likes of Palhinha and Paulinho this summer. As per A Bola, both players could end up at Molineux soon. The report claims that Palhinha is preparing for a move to Wolves but the transfer depends on Ruben Neves’ potential exit. If the Wolves midfielder moves on this summer, Palhinha will be brought in as his replacement. The Sporting midfielder has impressed this past season and he could prove to be a handy option for Nuno next year. Ideally, Wolves would want to hold on to Neves instead. The Portuguese midfielder is a fantastic talent and he will only get better with experience. A Bola (h/t Sportwitness) are also reporting Paulinho’s potential move to Wolves. They say that Wolves are in the mood to offer around €25-26m (£23m) for the striker who s...
11 goals & 8 assists last season: Aston Villa ready to offer around £22.6m for attacker
Aston Villa have been linked with a move for the Werder Bremen winger Milot Rashica this summer. As per Fehmarn24, the Premier League side are willing to pay the £22.6m asking price for the player but Rashica is not keen on the move. Apparently, he doesn’t want to join a club that could be involved in a relegation battle. It will be interesting to see if Villa can persuade the player to sign for them eventually. Rashica has done well in Germany and he would be a superb addition to Dean Smith’s attack. He would add goals and creativity to the side. The 24-year-old picked up 11 goals and 8 assists this past season and he would be an upgrade on the likes of El Ghazi and Trezeguet. Villa will have to add more goals to their side if they want to beat the drop next year. They were over...

Foster is a very good goalkeeper and has been on the books of the Hornets since 2018. The former West Bromwich Albion custodian signed a new two-year contract with Watford in June 2020. While it is hard to see the Hornets cash in on Foster this summer so soon after handing him a...

It has been reported by the British tabloid that Chelsea are set to sign Dunk from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion for £40 million. The 28-year-old central defender is a lifelong Chelsea fan and believes that he is on his way to the Blues, according to the report. Good signing for Tottenham Hotspur? Tottenham could do with a defender who has a lot of experience in the Premier League, and Dunk does fit the bill. The 28-year-old is tall, strong and has a no-nonsense style of football, and he would make Spurs a better team at the back. With Jan Vertonghen having left Spurs this summer, the North London outfit need to bring in a replacement. Moving to...

Report: Arsenal to step up interest in £45m-rated star following Willian’s arrival
Arsenal are prepared to step up their pursuit of Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey, a report from The Daily Star claims. The north London side recently made their first signing of the summer as Willian joined them on a free transfer after the expiry of his contract at Chelsea. It is now reported that Mikel Arteta’s side could make at least two more additions to the squad and Partey is regarded as the prime midfield target. The Gunners have held a long-term interest in the Ghana international and earlier in June, they failed with a player-plus-cash offer for the player’s services. The club offered £22.5m with Matteo Guendouzi as the makeweight, but the proposal was snubbed by Atleti, who wanted Partey’s £45m release clause to be paid in full.

Report: Sheffield United agree £18.5m deal for Dean Henderson replacement
Sheffield United have reached an agreement with Bournemouth to sign goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale this summer, a report from The Daily Echo claims. Ramsdale was nearly ever-present for the Cherries during the 2019/2020 Premier League campaign and he caught the eye with 129 saves from his 37 appearances. With the Cherries’ relegation to the Championship, it was always anticipated that Ramsdale would head for the exit door and he now appears on the cusp of re-signing for Sheffield. The Blades sanctioned the sale of Ramsdale to the Cherries for just £800,000 in January 2017, but they included a 15% sell-on clause on any future transfer. Earlier this month, Jason Tindall’s side turned down an initial bid of £12m from the Blades, but they have now reluctantly accepted a second offer worth...
