Newcastle United plan early talks with Arsenal for midfielder
Steve Bruce has revealed that Newcastle United will hold talks with Arsenal over a move for Joe Willock, as per Mirror. The Englishman moved to Tyneside on loan in February and has been a revelation during his time there. The midfielder has scored six goals in 12 appearances and helped the Magpies remain in the Premier League. With the player’s loan spell coming to an end, there is talk about making his deal permanent. “He is Arsenal’s player, and we respect that,” said Bruce. “We will have conversations with Arsenal. Lots of clubs will digest what has gone on. “We would like transfers to be done early, but we have to respect he is Arsenal’s, and we will have dialogue with them.” The Newcastle manager also spoke about what Willock has brought to the team. “For someone so young – you can se...
61-cap international on Klopp’s wish list, Liverpool could sign him for £10.3m
Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey has been linked with a move to Liverpool at the end of this season. According to Tutto Juve, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is keeping tabs on the former Arsenal midfielder and the Italian club are willing to cash in on him this summer. The Welshman is on considerable wages and Juventus are hoping to get him off their wage bill. According to the report, the 30-year-old midfielder could be signed for a fee as low as €12 million (£10.3m) at the end of the season. There is no doubt that Liverpool could use a goalscoring midfielder and Ramsey could prove to be a quality short-term addition. The Reds have excellent playmakers in Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita. However, they are missing someone like Bruno Fernandes who can score goals consisten...
5 goals & 15 assists this season: Spurs keen on 24-yr-old who will cost €30m this summer
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Evan Ndicka and Daichi Kamada from Eintracht Frankfurt. According to Bild, the German outfit could lose some of their key players after missing out on Champions League qualification. Currently, Tottenham are interested in Ndicka and the centre back could cost around €28 million this summer. The 21-year-old French defender has managed to establish himself as a first-team player for the German side and he has the potential to succeed in the Premier League as well. Spurs have been vulnerable defensively this season and it is a position that needs strengthening during the summer transfer window. Colombian defender Davinson Sanchez has been linked with a move away from the London club and Toby Alderwireld is in the twilight of his career. Someo...

We talked about it with the boys from West Ham, where they have him very high on the list of possible reinforcements.” Sima has 19 goals for the Czech outfit this season and he’s highly rated across Europe. The player has been linked with Crystal Palace as well and it remains to be seen whether the Hammers can secure his servic...
Man City & Red Devils reportedly ready to offer Spurs star £80m in wages
Manchester City and Manchester United are ready to offer Harry Kane £80 million in wages in order to tempt him from Tottenham Hotspur this summer, according to The Sun. The 27-year-old wants to leave Spurs at the end of the season with Champions League football unavailable again next term, and both Pep Guardiola and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are ready to go head-to-head to bring him to Manchester. City and United are both prepared to hand Kane a five-year contract with a £300,000-a-week basic salary. Tottenham value the England international at £150 million, but they could be forced to do business for around £30m less if Kane insists on leaving. Man City and Man Utd would have ended up paying the star striker around £78m in wages at the end of five years should he join either of them, and there...
53-year-old is ‘waiting’ for the Real Madrid job, could take charge if Zidane leaves
Massimiliano Allegri is waiting for the managerial role at Real Madrid amid the uncertain future of Zinedine Zidane, reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano claims. Los Blancos are currently two points behind Atletico Madrid for the top spot in La Liga with one game left in the campaign. Their chances of retaining their title are dependent on Atletico failing to beat Real Valladolid while they win against Villarreal. Regardless of the result, Zidane is said to be assessing his options, and it is reported that he could resign from his position. Allegri has been touted as a possible successor, and Romano claims that the 53-year-old has snubbed offers from Italy in anticipation of the Madrid vacancy. Contacted again by Italian clubs, Massimiliano Allegri has not changed his mind: he’s waiting for ...
Report: West Brom keen on £8m Liverpool player, likely to leave this summer
West Bromwich Albion and Fulham are reportedly keen to sign Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi in the summer transfer window. According to Goal.com, seven clubs have approached the Reds over the Nigerian striker’s availability. Awoniyi joined Liverpool in 2015, but he has spent the past six years on loan at a host of clubs in Europe. This season, he has played in the Bundesliga with Union Berlin. The report claims that several English clubs like Stoke City, Fulham and West Brom are interested in signing the 23-year-old. After years of plying trade elsewhere, he and his family were finally granted UK work permits, following a lengthy application process. Awoniyi will now be able to continue his career in England, but it appears that his future seems away from Anfield, without e...
NUFC reportedly want 25-goal British striker, Fulham & Blades keen too
Newcastle United, Sheffield United and Fulham all want Sporting Kansas City forward Johnny Russell, according to The Sun. The Magpies have relied heavily on Callum Wilson, with the trio of Joelinton, Dwight Gayle and Andy Carroll not firing on all cylinders – they have six Premier League goals between them this term. The England international, who has 12 league goals for Newcastle, has struggled with injuries and manager Steve Bruce is eyeing another quality option. Russell has been one of the most consistent top performers in the Major League Soccer in recent seasons and has caught the eye of scouts in England. The Scot has 25 goals in 84 games for Kansas since joining them in 2018, and Newcastle could offer him a shot at Premier League football. The 31-year-old is out of contract at the ...
Spurs reportedly eyeing Brazilian striker Pochettino dubbed ‘very talented player’ as Kane’s replacement
Tottenham Hotspur have been preparing for Harry Kane’s potential summer departure, according to Sportsmail. The England international has told the North London outfit he wants to leave at the end of the campaign and is eager to remain in the Premier League. Manchester United and Manchester City are keen on Kane, and Spurs are starting to make enquiries about potential replacements. Tottenham recruitment staff have already identified which players they might be able to take in part-exchange from both Manchester clubs, with City’s Gabriel Jesus and United’s Anthony Martial on their radar. The Frenchman has notched seven goals and four assists across all competitions this term but has been out injured since March. Martial, 25, has bagged 55 Premier League goals and 26 assists since joining Ma...
Southampton confirm signing of two-time FA Cup winner on a permanent deal
Southampton have confirmed that Theo Walcott will join the club permanently following the expiry of his Everton contract next month. The 32-year-old, a two-time FA Cup winner, made his comeback with the Saints after 14 years last summer as he joined on a season-long loan from the Toffees. He has since registered three goals and three assists from 24 appearances in all competitions despite missing a couple of months through a hamstring injury. The Saints have now announced that the winger has agreed to put pen-to-paper on a two-year deal when his Toffees contract expires in June. “I’m not sure I can properly express how happy I am about this,” he was quoted as saying by the club’s official website. “Southampton is a club that means so much to me, and it has been incredibly special for me to...
Journalist claims Everton could cash in on 19-goal player for a fee of around €45-50m
Everton are prepared to cash in on the Italian striker Moise Kean this summer. The 21-year-old has been on loan at Paris Saint-Germain this season after failing to make his mark in English football last year. Kean has been an exceptional signing for PSG on a loan deal and he has scored 19 goals in all competitions for the French outfit. The striker has been linked with the likes of Juventus and PSG in recent months and it remains to be seen where he ends up. It is highly unlikely that the player will return to Everton for the next season. He is clearly not a key part of Carlo Ancelotti’s plans and he will struggle to hold down a regular starting berth at Goodison Park with the likes of Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin ahead of him in the pecking order. Kean needs to move to a club whe...
Rodrigo De Paul’s 18-word comment on why he didn’t join Leeds last summer
Udinese midfielder Rodrigo de Paul sent Leeds United fans into a frenzy last September after hinting on social media that he would love to move to Elland Road ahead of the 2020-21 campaign. Peacocks head coach Marcelo Bielsa reportedly had the Argentine star on top of his transfer list as he prepared for life in the Premier League at the time, and Leeds fanzine The Square Ball podcast claimed on Twitter that he was keen on the move but that it rested on both clubs reaching an agreement on a fee. De Paul replied to their claim with a ‘Yes’, adding a fingers-crossed emoji only to delete the tweet a few minutes later. It was too little, too late, though, as Leeds faithful were confident that he was very to join the Whites. A move never happened, with both clubs failing to reach an agreement o...
