West Ham United are interested in signing the Real Betis defender Aissa Mandi this summer.

The Reds are certainly a more attractive option than West Ham for any player but it will be interesting to see whether the player is willing to accept a backup role at Anfield. Van Dijk, Gomez and Matip are all ahead of him in the pecking order. At West Ham, he is more likely to start every week. That could tilt things in the Hammers’ favour if the player i...

Report: Everton submit bid for La Liga ace who was voted the best in his position this season
Everton have submitted a bid for the Real Madrid defender Sergio Reguilon. As per Sky Sports, Everton’s offer is thought to be in the region of £18m.

Reguilon was on loan at Sevilla this past season and he managed to establish himself as a key player for them. He helped them qualify for the Champions League as well. It will be interesting to see if Everton can convince him to join them this summer. ...

Although Newcastle’s managing director Lee Charnley has insisted that Mike Ashley is “100% committed” to the Saudi Arabian-backed takeover of the club, it hardly ignites fresh excitement among the fans.
