Report: Wolves to sign Montenegro international once he leaves PL rivals

According to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 61, July 12, 2020), Wolverhampton Wanderers are interested in signing Matija Sarkic, who is leaving Aston Villa. It has been reported by the British tabloid that Sarkic will leave Premier League club Villa at the end of the season. The 22-year-old goalkeeper will become a free agent, and Wolves reportedly want to secure the services of the Montenegro international. The report in The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 61, July 12, 2020) has suggested that the youngster will then be sent out on loan. Interesting move Sarkic is a good goalkeeper, but the 22-year-old has failed to break into the Villa starting lineup. The Montenegro international has been out on loan at a number of clubs in recent years, including Wigan Athletic and Livi...

‘Absolutely carnage’: Woodhouse urges Manchester United to raid Tottenham for 26-year-old

Curtis Woodhouse has urged Manchester United on Twitter to make a move for Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane in the summer transfer window. The former Sheffield United and Birmingham City midfielder made the comments on Thursday evening when both Tottenham and United were in action. Tottenham played out a dull and boring goalless draw with Bournemouth away from home at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League on Thursday evening. The result means that Spurs’ chances of finishing in the Champions League places have pretty much gone out of the window. As for United, the Red Devils maintained their good run of form with a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa away from home at Villa Park in the league. The result means that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are just a point behind fourth-placed Leicest...

Report: Man Utd very close to meeting club’s valuation for 22-yr-old Newcastle target

Manchester United are being linked with a move for the Italian attacker Federico Chiesa. The Fiorentina star has attracted a lot of attention with his performances recently and he has been linked with Newcastle United as well. As per reports (via Star), the Old Trafford outfit are very close to meeting Fiorentina’s valuation for the attacker. The 22-year-old is thought to be valued at £60m and Manchester United are looking at him as an alternative to Jadon Sancho. The Dortmund star is their top target but he could cost a lot more than Chiesa. It will be interesting to see if the Red Devils manage to lure Chiesa to England this summer. The report adds that the player wants to continue in Italy and he will need some convincing. Manchester United will have to work hard to change the play...

Report: 24-yr-old Tottenham target set to hold transfer talks with Jose Mourinho

Tottenham have been linked with the Atalanta full-back Timothy Castagne this summer. As per Le10 Sport, the player is set to hold transfer talks with Jose Mourinho before deciding on his future. The player has been linked with Leicester City and Paris Saint-Germain as well and he will speak to their managers as well. It will be interesting to see if Mourinho manages to convince the player to join Tottenham this summer. The Londoners need to improve their right-back options. Castagne has done well with the high-flying Serie A outfit this season and he should prove to be an upgrade on Serge Aurier. The Belgian can play on either flank as a full back and as a winger. His versatility will be a major bonus for Spurs if they manage to land him this summer. Although PSG are a more excit...

Journalist claims Bundesliga player is ‘on his way to Tottenham’ this summer

Tottenham have been linked with a few defenders this summer and the latest name linked with them is that of the Schalke ace Ozan Kabak. Turkish journalist Mehmet Demirkol has claimed that the player is heading to Tottenham this summer. He said (quotes via Sportwitness): “Besiktas youngsters could make some mistakes. That’s normal. They will grow up and become better players. Just look at Ozan Kabak. He was consistently giving away penalties when he was at Galatasaray. But now, he has developed into a great centre back. And I heard that he’s on his way to Tottenham this season.” It will be interesting to see if the Londoners manage to sign the 20-year-old defender. He is highly rated at Schalke and he could prove to be a solid long-term addition to Mourinho’s backline. Juan Foyth has b...

‘Up there with the best’ – Pundit drools over 28-yr-old Newcastle star who’s ‘as good as there is’ in the PL

Pundit John Giles has urged Manchester City to sign Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle United. The 28-year-old has been impressive for Steve Bruce’s side this season and the former Leeds player thinks he could improve further if he plays alongside better players. Giles claims that Guardiola should sign Shelvey because the midfielder is up there with the best players and he is as good as anyone in the Premier League when he is on form. He said (quotes via Chronicle): “It would be a gamble, but if I was Guardiola, I’d be very tempted to go for him. “He has the skill, he can pick a pass, he can distribute it, he’s a well-gifted lad and he might be at an age now with the right manager, in the right team – he’d be as good as he’d promised to be years ago. “I think he’d be made for Guardiola because h...

Report: Journalist confirms Tottenham are ‘looking’ at 22-yr-old Premier League talent

Tottenham are interested in signing the Norwich City defender Ben Godfrey. The 22-year-old has done well for Norwich this season and regardless of their poor season, his performances seem to have caught the eye. As per Nicolo Schira, Tottenham are keen on the player. It will be interesting to see if the Londoners make a move for Godfrey in the coming weeks. Norwich are destined to go down this season and their key players could be up for grabs. The likes of Godfrey, Cantwell, Buendia and Pukki are all good enough to play for Premier League clubs. Spurs should look to snap up the 22-year-old. Godfrey would add depth and quality to the Spurs backline. If Juan Foyth moves on in the summer, the Norwich ace could be his ideal replacement. He has a lot of potential and Jose Mourinho will be hopi...

Report: What Kieran Tierney was taught at Celtic caused problem among some Arsenal teammates
