‘Buy him’, ‘Get him’: Some Chelsea fans react to prospect of signing £43m-rated star
A selection of Chelsea fans on Twitter have welcomed the possibility of the club re-signing Eden Hazard from Real Madrid this summer. The Belgium international spent seven seasons with the Blues between 2012 and 2019, registering 110 goals and 92 assists from 353 appearances.

Los Blancos are weighing up a summer deal for Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe, and Hazard believes this could lead to his departure.

Pep Guardiola drops hint over Messi’s future, confirms £22.5m star is close to Barcelona move
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said that Sergio Aguero is close to making the switch to Barcelona on a free transfer this summer. The Argentine has been a superb performer for the Cityzens over the past decade, but he will leave them when his contract expires next month. Aguero ended his Premier League career with a sublime brace coming off the bench against Everton on Sunday. The Cityzens won by a convincing 5-0 scoreline. Following the trophy celebrations, Guardiola dropped a huge hint that Aguero will join his former club Barcelona to play alongside compatriot Lionel Messi. He told BBC Sport: “Maybe I reveal a secret. Maybe he is close to agreeing a deal for the club of my heart – for Barcelona. “He is going to be playing alongside the best player of all time, Messi. “I’m pre...
Celtic reportedly keen on terminating midfielder’s contract
According to French journalist Ignazio Genuardi, Celtic are considering reaching a mutual termination agreement with French midfielder Olivier Ntcham. Compte tenu de la situation économique, le Celtic Glasgow pourrait carrément le libérer. Il s’agit de se séparer absolument d’un gros contrat, surtout que Ntcham a vu sa cote considérablement chuter ces derniers mois. — Ignazio Genuardi (@IgnazioGenuardi) May 22, 2021 The 25-year-old has just a year left on his current deal and is currently on loan at Ligue 1 outfit Marseille.

The Frenchman joined Marseille for the rest of the season with an option to buy in January, but they have decided not...
‘He’s actually going’, ‘gone’ – Some Spurs fans react to what Kane’s wife’s posted on Instagram
Some Tottenham Hotspur fans are afraid they might have seen the last of Harry Kane following today’s 4-2 victory over Leicester City. The 27-year-old reportedly wants to leave at the end of the campaign as he eyes silverware and regular Champions League football, and Spurs qualifying for the inaugural Europa League conference and winning the Golden Boot would not have changed his mind. Kane and Son Heung-min and Dele Alli were locked in a warm embrace after the game, and his wife took to Instagram to react thus to the clip. Tottenham fans think that could mean goodbye, with some of them taking to Twitter to react thus: He should leave as the hero he is and win the trophies he deserves. We’ve been blessed to have him for so long! — Twiterati (@JamesSouthend) May 23, 2021 lets be really , th...
‘It’d be a shame’ – Thierry Henry sends message to Tottenham’s Harry Kane
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has sent a message to Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane as the England international seeks to leave north London this summer. The 27-year-old wants silverware and regular Champions League football, and Spurs have not delivered the latter since 2018. They will also be playing outside of Europe’s elite competition again next season, and Kane has had enough. The Tottenham star wants to join Manchester City, but whether the Premier League champions are ready to break the bank for him is unclear. It is believed that between £100-150 million could be enough to force Spurs’ hands, and Henry believes it would be a shame if Kane does not win a trophy before his career ends. However, the former Gunners hitman claims Tottenham are not entirely to blame as the player hi...

Manager Pep Guardiola admires reportedly has potential Newcastle move in his sights
Newcastle United head coach Steve Bruce is not looking to quit this summer despite not being a fans’ favourite. The Magpies supporters are not keen on his style of play, and given the quality of some of the players they have, they believe the squad would be punching above their weight with an attacking manager in the dugout. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has been linked with Burnley’s Sean Dyche, and Bruce should be looking over his shoulders following a report from The Sun. The tabloid claims that former Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder is willing to wait for a Premier League job as he thinks he has proved himself since taking the Blades to a top-ten finish in his first season in the top-flight. West Bromwich Albion want him to replace Sam Allardyce and help them return to the Premier ...
Crystal Palace interested in signing Danish defender, Chelsea duo also on their radar – report
Crystal Palace have expressed an interest in signing Copenhagen defender Victor Nelsson ahead of this summer’s transfer window, The Mail reports. Palace are planning a major summer rebuild with as many as 16 players having their contracts expiring at the end of June. The club are likely to keep hold of some of them, but there could still be plenty of transfer activity ahead of the 2021/22 campaign. It is now reported that they are interested in Nelsson, who was on the radar of Aston Villa during last summer’s transfer window. However, they will face competition with several European clubs also keeping tabs on Nelsson, who made his Denmark debut last year. Palace are aiming to strengthen the spine of the squad, while lowering the average age with the anticipated departure of multiple senior...
Report suggests how much NUFC could be tempted to sell Saint-Maximin for
AS Roma incoming manager Jose Mourinho reportedly wants Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin this summer as he prepares to take Italy by storm following his unceremonious departure from Tottenham Hotspur. The Serie A outfit were keen on signing the Frenchman while he was at Saint-Etienne, and their new boss did confess to liking the Magpies star prior to his move to St. James’ Park in 2019 due to electric pace. Saint-Maximin is arguably Newcastle’s best player and they are not likely to cash in on him except a very juicy bid is tabled. According to Sportsmail, suitors would have to break the bank to have a chance of landing the 24-year-old as the SJP outfit value him at around £70 million. They want to shoo clubs off their prime sellable asset, and whether Roma or anybody would be k...
Liverpool reportedly will sell ‘brilliant’ centre-back this summer on one condition
According to The Sun, Liverpool will sell centre-back Nat Phillips this summer if they receive a major offer for him. The £10 million-rated defender has been in fine form in the injury-enforced absences of Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip, featuring in 16 Premier League games thus far. However, the trio will be returning to full fitness ahead of next season and Phillips could spend a lot of time on the bench as a result. The 24-year-old has caught the eye of other Premier League clubs due to his impressive run of form in the Liverpool defence, and the club could be tempted to cash in on him with RB Leipzig centre-back Ibrahima Konate expected to join them this summer. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is a fan of Phillips, dubbing the academy graduate ‘brilliant and extremely smart’ last mon...
‘Wants to return home’ – WHUFC chief comments on £300k-a-wk man Moyes really likes
Shanghai SIPG forward Marko Arnautovic has been linked with a return to the Premier League this summer, with West Ham United one of the clubs interested in him. The 32-year-old handed in a transfer request in the summer of 2019, demanding to leave the Hammers just six months after signing a four-year contract extension. West Ham had knocked back a £45 million bid for Arnautovic in January 2019 but were forced to accept a £23m bid a few months later. The Austrian international sent a come-and-get-me-plea to West Ham last April and was also looking to return during the last January transfer window. Arnautovic seems to be eyeing a return ahead of the summer, but vice-chairman Karren Brady appears to have ruled out the possibility. “The Austrian and his feckless agent-brother decided riches of...
Tottenham join London rivals in the chase for 23-yr-old defender
Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are in the race to sign Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic this summer. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian club are prepared to sell the 23-year-old because his contract expires in the summer of 2022 and he has not signed an extension. It seems that the Serbian is keen on a move away from the Italian club this summer. Juventus and Manchester United have also been linked with the player who is expected to cost around £26 million.

SL View: Much needed addition for Spurs Tottenham desperately need quality centre-backs, with the likes of Eric Dier simply not good enough to start for a side hoping to challenge for the major honours.
