Newcastle expected to submit bid for 28-yr-old attacker in the coming days
Newcastle United have been linked with a move for Portuguese international Rafa Silva this summer. According to Correio da Manha, the Premier League club are expected to submit a bid for the 28-year-old winger in the next few days. Benfica are prepared to sanction his departure this summer for around €25 million, and Newcastle have the resources to pay that kind of money for Silva. The Magpies need to add more creativity and flair to their attack, and Silva could prove to be a quality addition. The right-sided winger bagged nine goals and 10 assists across all competitions, and his productivity would be a big boost for Newcastle. The Portuguese international is at the peak of his career right now, and this is the ideal time for him to make the step up to the Premier League. His direct play...
Arsenal one of the clubs leading the chase for 26-yr-old, Spurs linked as well
Lazio attacker Joaquin Correa has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks. According to Calciomercato, the 26-year-old Argentine international could be on his way out of the Italian club this summer. Former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has taken over at the Italian club and is likely to employ a 4-3-3 system next season. Correa is not an ideal fit for the system, and Lazio could look to cash in on, with a fee of around €50 million likely to be enough to secure his services. Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with Correa, with the latter two clubs believed to be leading the race to sign him. Correa bagged 11 goals and six assists in all competitions last term, and his ability to play across the front line makes him a tempting proposit...
Aston Villa keeping tabs on 25-yr-old Spurs ace, 21-yr-old winger on their radar as well
Aston Villa are looking to improve their midfield options this summer and are keeping tabs on Harry Winks, Todd Cantwell and Dwight McNeil. According to the Telegraph, Roma are keen on signing Douglas Luiz from Villa this summer, and Dean Smith is looking at potential replacements. Winks has struggled to hold down a regular starting berth at Tottenham this past season and could prove a smart signing for Villa. The 25-year-old is very good at recycling possession and controlling the tempo of the game. He could be an ideal foil for John McGinn. The interest in Cantwell seems surprising, with Jack Grealish the undisputed starter in his position for Villa. Unless Grealish leaves the club this summer, Cantwell’s signing would not make sense for the Midlands club. As far as McNeil is considered,...
