Report: Mourinho looking to pip Inter & EPL duo to ‘young Giorgio Chiellini’
According to Verona-based newspaper L’Arena, Tottenham Hotspur have joined Manchester United and Chelsea in the race for Hellas Verona centre-back Marash Kumbulla. The 20-year-old is also on the radar of Inter Milan and Lazio despite arriving at the Serie A last summer, and he has been compared to a young Giorgio Chiellini by former Juventus man Federico Balzaretti. The Albanian helped Verona to seal promotion a year ago and has taken the league by storm. Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is keen on another centre-back having lost Jan Vertonghen at the end of the campaign. Juan Foyth is also expected to leave, and Kumbulla could be brought to North London. Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and Manchester United have also been linked with the £25 million-rated centre-back, and Spurs have...
Ben Parker’s 2-word reaction to news coming out of Leeds United today
Ben Parker has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Leeds United appointing Mark Jackson as their new Under-23 head coach. As announced on Leeds’s official Twitter page at 3:30pm today, the Premier League club have appointed Jackson as the successor to Carlos Corberan. Corberan was the Leeds Under-23 boss last season, but earlier this summer, he left his role at Elland Road and became the new head coach of Huddersfield Town. Jackson has been in charge of the Whites’ Under-18 team, and he has now been promoted to the Under-23 side. Former Leeds left-back Parker believes that it is great news that Jackson is now the the club’s Under-23 side. Brilliant stuff @jacko55555 https://t.co/5QrTFh9bG5 — Ben Parker (@ben_parker19) September 14, 2020 Premier League action Meanwhile, the senior Leed...
Report: Why Aston Villa target is in Denmark today
According to RMC Sport, Bertrand Traore has travelled to Denmark to undergo a medical for Aston Villa. It has been reported that the former Chelsea attacker has travelled to Copenhagen where he will undergo his medical before travelling to England. This is so because, according to the report, Villa’s sporting director Johan Lange is in his homeland of Denmark. Would Bertrand Traore be a good signing for Aston Villa? Traore has played in the Premier League before when he was at Chelsea, although he could not really make an impact. The 25-year-old, who can play as a forward or as an attacking midfielder, has progressed and developed a lot during his time at Lyon and is ready to return to the top flight of English football. The Burkina Faso international scores goals and creates chances ...

‘Top player’, ‘Incredible’ – Some Tottenham fans react after hearing Mourinho wants 28-yr-old
Tottenham have been linked with a move for the Southampton star Danny Ings. The 28-year-old is one of the best strikers in the league right now and he could solve Spurs’ goalscoring problems. The Londoners are overly reliant on Harry Kane for goals and Ings could share the goalscoring burden if he moves to Spurs. He managed to score 25 goals for Southampton last season. It will be interesting to see if Spurs can convince Southampton to sell them their best player. Recently, the two clubs worked on the transfer of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. Ings needs to play week in week out and Mourinho will have to give him assurances that he won’t be back up option to Kane if he moves to Spurs. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds in the coming weeks. Spurs are yet to submit an offer for the play...
Report: West Ham United in driving seat for forward Leeds United want
According to TEAMtalk, West Ham United, Leeds United and Arsenal are interested in signing Marcos Paulo from Fluminese in the summer transfer window. It has been reported that Leeds, Arsenal, Watford and Southampton all want to sign the 19-year-old forward. However, according to the report, West Ham ‘are in the driving seat’, with the Hammers having already made an approach for the Portuguese youth international. It has been claimed that the London club have already held talks with the teenager’s representatives. Paulo has a release clause of £40 million, according to the report in TEAMtalk. Too expensive? While Paulo is very highly rated and has a bright future ahead of him, £40 million for a 19-year-old with no experience of first-team football is too much to pay for any club. It is clea...
Report: Manager tells Celtic target to leave, Lennon was close to landing him in Jan
Newcastle United winger Christian Atsu has been told by head coach Steve Bruce that he can leave St. James’ Park this summer, and that could come as a huge transfer boost for Celtic. Bruce to @bbcnewcastle on Atsu: “I like Christian – the same goes for Muto – trains every day, works tirelessly, a good professional – but in a situation where, are they going to play enough? There has to come a time when they go and play football.” #NUFC — Matthew Raisbeck (@raisbeck10) September 14, 2020 Bruce: “The same goes for Saivet. Henri has been around the place since I’ve been here. We try to treat him with respect and he trains every day and is a good pro. Saivet, Atsu, Muto, Lazaar, Aarons – they need to find a home and try to progress their careers again.” #NUFC — Matthew Raisbec...
Report: Leicester emerge as favourites for £50m Welsh star ahead of Tottenham
According to The Sun, Leicester City are the leading contenders in the race for the signature of Bournemouth midfielder and Tottenham Hotspur target David Brooks, and they have been told he will cost £50 million. Manchester United have also been linked with the Welshman, but it doesn’t seem that they are actively looking to land his signature before the end of the summer transfer window. Leicester want to build on their fifth-place finish from last season and are keen to make quality additions to the squad. Injuries limited Brooks to only nine Premier League appearances last term, but he scored seven goals and assisted five times in 30 games in 2018-19, and it was that form that attracted Spurs and Man Utd to him in the first place. Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was a huge fan ...
Report: Spurs want striker on Everton radar, he was close to Old Trafford move in January
According to The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur are now looking into a move for Bournemouth striker Josh King after missing out on Ollie Watkins to Aston Villa. The Cherries are open to selling the Norwegian international after getting relegated last term and with only nine months left on his deal, and he isn’t short of suitors in the Premier League, with Aston Villa, Fulham and Everton all keen. The trio are shortlisting King should he be available in the £15 million range, and Spurs will be looking to pip them to his signature. Boss Jose Mourinho wants another striker, and the 28-year-old can provide quality back-up for Harry Kane and even play out wide. Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti wants another striker and has been linked with Valencia’s Maxi Gomez, but he could prefer to land King who has muc...
Report: Everton keen on 14-goal ace who could be signed for just £13.9m this summer
Everton have been linked with a move for the Cologne striker Jhon Cordoba. According to Bild, the player is valued at €15m and it will be interesting to see if the Premier League club are willing to pay that kind of money for the 27-year-old. It is no secret that Everton need to add more depth to their attack and Cordoba could be a useful option. The Toffees signed Moise Kean with high expectations but the Italian forward has struggled in England so far and he has been linked with a move away from the club this summer. If Kean moves on, Cordoba could be the ideal replacement. The 27-year-old is at the peak of his powers and he could make an immediate impact at Goodison Park. Bringing in a striker should be a priority for Ancelotti as the Toffees are over-reliant on Calvert-Lewin and R...

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Danny Ings from Premier League rivals Southampton in the summer transfer window, according to Football.London. It has been reported that Tottenham have ‘strong, long-held, interest’ in the former Liverpool striker. However, according to the report, the North London outfit believe that it would be ‘too difficult’ to pull off a deal to sign the 28-year-old England international. Southampton spell Ings joined Southampton from Liverpool in the summer of 2018 on a season-long loan deal. According to WhoScored, the England international striker made 23 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for the Saints during the 2018-19 season, scoring seven goals and providing three assists in the process. The move was made permanent in the sum...
