Report confirms Celtic’s offer for 24-goal attacker who is wanted by their rivals as well
Celtic are keen on signing the Peterborough forward Ivan Toney this summer. Neil Lennon is close to wrapping up the signing of Albian Ajeti on loan and it seems that Toney is another attacking target for him. As per Daily Record, Celtic submitted a £5m bid for the 26-year-old but the offer has been turned down. Apparently, Peterborough value the player higher than that. Rangers are keen on the player as well. It remains to be seen whether the Scottish champions come forward with another improved offer now. Toney has had a very good season with Peterborough and he could prove to be a superb addition to Celtic’s attack. Currently, the Hoops are reliant on Edouard for goals. The arrivals of Ajeti and Toney would give them the depth they need to compete on all fronts. Plus, the Hoops will...
10-goal attacker a ‘top target’ for Newcastle; Magpies keen on 7-goal PL midfielder as well
Newcastle are keen on signing the Roma striker Patrik Schick this summer. As per Daily Mail, the striker is a top target for the Magpies. Newcastle are thought to be looking at Norwich’s Todd Cantwell as well. Both players would improve them immensely in attack and it will be interesting to see if they can pull off those signings in the coming weeks. Currently, all of their plans are on hold because of the takeover issue. Unless the takeover goes through, Newcastle won’t be able to spend heavily on new players. It remains to be seen whether Ashley is successful in selling the club this summer. Schick was on loan at Leipzig this past season and he managed to impress in the Bundesliga. The 24-year-old has scored 10 goals in 15 starts for the German side. Meanwhile, Cantwell had a promising d...

Eddie Howe’s side will be looking to sell a majority of their most-prized possessions in order to prepare for life back in the Championship, and they are expected to cash in on Ramsdale. The England youth international was one of the Cherries’ best players despite their disappointing c...

The England youth international signed his first professional deal in February 2019, but it expires at the end of next season and Arsenal aren’t ready to lose him for free. They knocked back a £5 million offer for Balogun from Brentford in January, and Southampton will have to table a better bid if they want him. Arsenal are also ...

Everton star Richarlison has revealed that Carlo Ancelotti has requested the player to stay at the club for another season at the very least.

Ancelotti is in the middle of a rebuild and he cannot afford to lose his best player. Richarlison claims that he can hold on for another season but if a good offer arrives, he is likely to consider it. He said (quotes via Sportwitness): “Everything has been talked about. He’s already told me he’s counting on me for another season. He asked me to hold on a little. But it all depends. If a good proposal arrives, we sit down and talk. It’s part of football. We are still talking about these details, sorti...

‘We may need to go and do it again’ – John McGinn sends out a transfer message to Aston Villa
Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn has urged the club to bring in quality new players and prepare for the next season. Dean Smith’s men managed to beat the drop on the final day of the season but McGinn claims that it isn’t good enough for a club of Aston Villa’s size and stature. It will be interesting to see if Villa can sort out their weaknesses this summer and perform better next season. There is no doubt that they have the bones of a good team. With a few intelligent additions, they could really exceed expectations next year. The likes of Heaton, Konsa, Mings, Grealish, McGinn, Luiz are all very good players who need more support from their teammates.

Journalist claims Celtic have landed 26y/o in £5.5m deal
According to The Athletic’s Kieran Devlin, Celtic have completed the signing of AEK Athens goalkeeper Vasilis Barkas in a £5.5 million deal. I understand Vasilis Barkas to Celtic is done. Five million euros with one million in bonuses. 10% sell on fee for AEK. @TheAthleticUK — Kieran Devlin (@NoNotThatDevlin) July 27, 2020 The Scottish Premiership giants wanted to bring Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster back to Parkhead after his successful loan spell last term, but his £70,000 wages hindered a deal from happening, and signing him permanently was also not possible as the two years left on his deal meant they wouldn’t have gotten him for cheap.

Report: Club chairman confirms Leeds have made an offer for 21-goal attacker
Leeds have been linked with a move for the Gent attacker Jonathan David this summer. The club’s chairman has now revealed that Leeds have indeed submitted an offer for the player. David is thought to be keen on a move to French outfit Lille but his club won’t sell him to the French side if they try to sign him with a low offer. Leeds’ offer is thought to be much better than that of the Ligue 1 side. De Witte said to De Zondag (via Sportwitness): “I have only expressed my annoyance that contacts have been made with Lille behind our back, that Jonathan has clearly packed already. Against all rules. An orchestrated action from his agent and the club. There were no contacts last week, but that they have made a transfer impossible because of that is a bridge too fa...
