Report: Aston Villa and West Ham linked with a move for former PL attacker
Aston Villa and West Ham United have been linked with a move for the Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain. The Argentine is expected to leave the Italian club this summer and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. The highly experienced striker had a forgettable spell in the Premier League with Chelsea and it is highly unlikely that he will return to England once again. There is no doubt that Aston Villa and West Ham need to sign a quality striker this summer but the 32-year-old might not be the ideal fit for them. As per reports (h/t Sportwitness), Juventus are looking to get rid of the player. Higuain is past his peak and his style of play is unlikely to suit West Ham or Aston Villa. The two clubs should look to sign a complete forward instead of a poacher. Gonzalo Higuain is b...

Robin Koch from Freiburg has been linked with a move to Leeds as well and the newly-promoted Premier League side are expected to submit an offer for him this week. It seems that Lyanco is just another name on Bielsa’s s...

A chance to return to Turin on loan could be on the cards, and the fact that he would free up an extra spot in their Champions League squad as he could be named on the B list having come through their academy could appeal to Juventus. Kean s...

Son ended last season with 18 goals and 11 assists across all competitions, but the return wasn’t enough to help win Spurs silverware or secure them Champions League football.
