Leicester and Wolves join the race to sign 22-yr-old defender from European giants
Leicester and Wolves are keen on signing the Juventus defender Merih Demiral this summer. As per Nicolo Schira, the Italian giants have no intention of selling the talented defender and they have recently turned down an offer of around €30m plus add-ons for the player. With the likes of Chiellini and Bonucci in their 30s, Juventus will need someone to partner De Ligt at the heart of their defence for the next decade. Demiral could be that player for them. The 22-year-old Turkish defender is a massive talent and he has a big future ahead of him. It will be interesting to see if Leicester or Wolves make their move for the player. However, a transfer seems unlikely. Juventus are under no pressure to sell and the player is highly unlikely to demand a move to Wolves/Leicester. That said, b...
‘Could be a masterclass’ : Villa eyeing 25-yr-old as Grealish replacement, some of their fans react
Aston Villa are interested in signing the Reading midfielder John Swift this summer. According to The Reading Chronicle, Dean Smith is keen on the player. Jack Grealish is expected to leave the club at the end of this season and Aston Villa need to sign a proper replacement. Swift has done well for Reading and he could be a decent alternative. Sheffield United are thought to be keen as well but Villa could hijack a move. Swift has six goals and ten assists to his name this season and he would be tempted to move to Aston Villa if they can stay up. Survival is in their own hands now and Villa just have to match Watford’s final day result. Even if Aston Villa go down, joining them would be a step up for the 25-year-old midfielder. The report claims that no official bid has been made yet. It r...

‘I hated it’ – Hammers star shares what he didn’t enjoy about Watford game
West Ham United all but secured safety with two Premier League games to spare following their 3-1 victory over Watford at the London Stadium last Friday. The Hammers have picked up 37 points after winning 10 games and drawing seven times in 36 games, and their superior goal difference has put them in a commanding position ahead of tonight’s clash against Manchester United and Sunday’s game with Aston Villa. While they aren’t mathematically safe, their goal difference of -13 is vastly superior to Villa (-26) and Watford (-27) and the victory against the Hornets has proven very crucial. West Ham found themselves 3-nil up 36 minutes into the game, but the visitors threatened to hit back and mount a comeback after scoring four minutes into the second-half. David Moyes’ side held on to their vi...
Report: Businessman steps in as PIF loses exclusivity rights to bid for NUFC
According to The Telegraph, contracts signed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund no longer give them exclusivity rights to bid for Newcastle United and current Toons owner Mike Ashley is free to negotiate with other interested parties. That has boosted American TV mogul Henry Mauriss’ chances of beating them to the purchase of the club and he is looking to step in. He has stepped up his attempts and has plans to give Magpies head coach Steve Bruce a chance to prove he should remain in the dugout should his group complete the takeover of the club before the start of the 2020-21 Premier League campaign. The Californian businessman has a detailed project plan for the St. James Park outfit drawn up by his team, and it includes the injection of extra funds to improve the first team sq...
‘Relegated with Villa’ – Leeds star grateful EPL transfer fell through last summer
Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips signed a new five-year contract to remain at Elland Road last September, but he was on the verge of joining Aston Villa just a few weeks prior to that. Dean Smith’s side were keen to land the Whites star having secured top-flight promotion and he was also very much interested in leaving Leeds to play Premier League football. A significantly increased salary was guaranteed while the opportunity to boost his chances of earning a call-up to Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions squad ahead of Euros 2020 was also on the cards. However, Leeds’ director of football Victor Orta convinced him in the last minute and Phillips is grateful that the Villa move fell through. The Midlands side are at the risk of relegating after just a season back in the big time, and the...
