‘It must be understood’ – Club chief confirms Tottenham held talks with £31m Leeds target
Cagliari sporting director, Stefano Capozucca has given his thoughts on the recently concluded transfer window.

However, Leeds wanted to get the price lowered, and eventually, the deal collapsed. The message was pretty clear from them – any potential buyer will have to pay the ask...
Marcel Brands has a golden opportunity to rectify Everton transfer mistake – Opinion
Everton defender Seamus Coleman picked up an injury against Azerbaijan on Saturday and he is set to miss the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup qualifier against Serbia on Tuesday evening. The true extent of the injury is yet to be revealed but the news will come as a major blow for Everton who are already lacking in depth as far as the right-back position is concerned. The Toffees needed to bring in a quality right-back option this summer but they failed to do so and it could prove to be a costly mistake for them. The 32-year-old Everton defender was unlikely to play every week anyway and Marcel Brands should have signed someone who could replace Coleman in the long run. Jonjoe Kenny could step in as an alternative for Coleman but the drop off in quality will certainly weaken the side. The T...

‘Complete lack of common sense’ – Some NUFC fans react to injury blow ahead of Man Utd clash
Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson picked up a thigh injury against Southampton last weekend and it appears that the striker could be sidelined for a number of weeks as per Shields Gazette.

The Magpies are desperately lacking in goals and Wilson has been a star performer for them. He scored 12 goals for them in the Premier League last season. Bruce failed to bring in adequate cover upfront during the summer transfer window and the decision could prove to be costly for Newcastle. Wilson struggled with hamstring problems last season and signing another striker as a backup option should have...

Everton held talks to sign £35m ace this summer, player’s agent confirms

Report: Liverpool eye January swoop for ‘incredible’ £125m ace available for bargain fee
Liverpool are interested in signing Valencia ace Carlos Soler in January according to a report from Fichajes. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp only signed one player in the summer. The German brought Ibrahima Konate to Anfield from RB Leipzig for around £35 million (BBC). It could be argued that the Liverpool manager failed to strengthen the weakest part of his team, however.
