Report confirms Tottenham interest in 23-yr-old Premier League ace
Aston Villa are eager to agree a new long-term contract with defender Ezri Konsa. According to Daily Mirror, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the defender at the end of this season. Konsa has been one of the best defenders in the Premier League this term and it is no surprise that big clubs are keeping tabs on him. According to the report, Dean Smith is determined to keep the 23-year-old and Villa will offer him improved terms to convince him to commit his future to the club. However, Konsa could view Liverpool and Spurs as the ideal step in his career and he may want to work with better coaches and players next season. Villa paid £12 million to sign Konsa in 2019 and they are likely to demand a massive fee to sell him this summer. Both Spurs and Liverpool could use...
West Ham keen on 13-goal forward who could cost around £15m this summer
West Ham United sold Sebastien Haller to Ajax in January and they are still looking to sign a quality replacement. According to Daily Mail, the Hammers are keeping tabs on the Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic. The 23-year-old has 13 goals and four assists this season and he has been likened to Peter Crouch and Mario Gomez because of his tall frame and playing style. The Hammers could certainly use a target man like him and he could prove to be a solid long-term investment for the Premier League club. The report adds that Moyes is also keen on Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham and Slavia Prague striker Abdallah Sima. However, Kalajdzic could prove to be a cheaper option for the London club, with Stuttgart prepared to sell him for a fee of around £15 million. RB Leipzig and Roma have also e...
Crystal Palace join Burnley in race to sign 27-year-old PL midfielder
Crystal Palace could compete with Burnley in the race to sign Sheffield United midfielder John Lundstram this summer, a report from The Mirror claims. The 27-year-old was hugely impressive in his maiden Premier League season with the Blades last term, registering five goals and three assists from 34 outings. However, he has not been able to replicate the performances this term with only two assists from 23 appearances, and the same can be said about the rest of the squad. The Blades are currently 12 points adrift of safety with only 10 games left, and they appear on course to be relegated to the Championship next term. Amidst this, Lundstram has shown no indication that he could extend his contract, which expires in June, and he may be available on a free transfer this summer. Burnley are ...
Tottenham Hotspur will move for £22.5m star, if Chelsea fail to agree extension
Tottenham Hotspur will attempt to sign Antonio Rudiger this summer if Chelsea fail to agree a contract extension with the defender, Football Insider reports. The German was on the radar of Spurs boss Jose Mourinho last summer, and he was fancied to make a loan move to the north London outfit. However, a deal failed to materialise as the Blues demanded a £4 million loan fee on top of his £150,000-a-week wages being paid for the entire season. Rudiger hardly played in the league under manager Frank Lampard, making just four top-flight appearances before the 42-year-old was dismissed in January. Since then, his fortunes have changed with compatriot Thomas Tuchel being appointed, and he has become an undisputed starter in the back three. Rudiger’s current deal expires in June 2022, but th...
Man United approach to sign Liverpool target with 10 goal contributions this season
Manchester United have registered their interest in signing Leeds United winger Raphinha during this summer’s transfer window, a report from UOL Esporte claims. The Brazilian made the switch to the Whites from Rennes last summer and has since impressed in the Premier League with five goals and five assists from just 21 outings. His progress has caught the eye of several elite clubs, and Liverpool have been regularly linked with his services since the turn of the year. It is now revealed that the Red Devils have consulted Leeds regarding the availability of the 24-year-old, who was signed for an initial £17 million last summer. It is added that the Whites plan to hold an internal meeting later this month, and that could include the player’s agent, who is likely to propose a transfer in...

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey. According to journalist Jonathan Shrager, the 23-year-old’s agent Aidy Ward held talks with Tottenham, Manchester United and AC Milan in January. Talks took place in January between Leon Bailey’s representatives and numerous clubs, including #MUFC, Spurs and AC Milan. But it is important to note that Leon is fully focussed on his current club and giving his all for his Leverkusen teammates — Jonathan Shrager (@JonathanShrager) March 5, 2021 It will be interesting to see if the London club decides to follow up on their interest with a concrete offer this summer. SL View: Ideal alternative when Bale returns to Real Madrid? There is no doubt that Jose Mourinho could use more depth in wide areas, and Bailey...
Leeds reportedly weighing up a move for 29-yr-old, but face competition from 2 other PL clubs
Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United are keeping tabs on Real Madrid winger Lucas Vazquez. The 29-year-old will be a free agent at the end of the season and would be a quality squad player for both sides. The Spaniard plays as a right-sided winger as well as a full-back. His experience and versatility would be beneficial for both Premier League teams next season. Vazquez, who has two goals and six assists this season, may be ready to tackle a new challenge, and a move to the Premier League could be tempting for him. As per reports (via Sun), Leeds are weighing up an offer for the Spanish international. It remains to be seen whether the Whites can convince him to join the club as they won’t be able to offer him European football. The report adds that Spurs were linked with the player a year a...
Wolves aiming to beat West Ham to signing of €15m Portuguese forward
Wolverhampton Wanderers are aiming to beat West Ham United to the signature of Valencia forward Goncalo Guedes this summer, Football Insider reports. Guedes initially joined the Spanish outfit on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 before his move was made permanent 12 months later. In his three-and-a-half seasons with the club, he has fared impressively with 20 goals and 19 assists from 124 appearances while predominantly playing on the left wing. It is now claimed that the Portuguese could be sold during the next transfer window, with owner Peter Lim having withdrawn his funding for the cash-strapped club. West Ham have been credited with an interest in Guedes, but Wolves are looking to beat them to the player’s services with their close links with Jorge Mendes. The super-age...
Alex McLeish fancies Aston Villa to sign £36m striker, if he leaves PL giants
Alex McLeish believes Aston Villa will make an attempt to sign Tammy Abraham, suppose he decides to pursue a fresh challenge away from Chelsea this summer. Abraham had his breakout season with the Blues under manager Frank Lampard last term and over the past 20 months, he has netted 34 goals from 77 appearances. However, there have been question marks regarding his future lately with current boss Thomas Tuchel leaving him out of the matchday squad for back-to-back league games. The German emphasised that the decision was purely tactical and there has been speculation that Abraham could be on the move this summer. It has been claimed that Villa may be interested in re-signing Abraham, who netted 26 goals (on loan) in their promotion campaign from the Championship in 2018/19. In a recent int...
Chelsea officials believe they can sign 27-goal striker ahead of European rivals
A section of Chelsea’s hierarchy believe they can lure Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland to the club this summer, a report from ESPN claims. Haaland is one of Europe’s brightest young strikers and he has excelled at Dortmund this term with 27 goals and eight assists from just 27 appearances. The Norwegian’s current contract with the Bundesliga outfit has a release clause worth £68m, but that only becomes active in June 2022. It has been suggested that Dortmund could sell him for a much significant fee this summer and the Blues are aiming to lure him ahead of their European rivals. The west London side are willing to hand a bumper contract to Haaland, but on top of this, they believe he could be tempted by a move to London. The Blues also feel the 20-year-old may be l...
Spurs and Leicester linked with 22-yr-old Brazilian who would cost around £69m
Roma defender Roger Ibanez has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City. The 22-year-old centre-back recently signed a new long term contract with the Italian outfit and he has a release clause of €80 million (£69m) in the deal. According to Calciomercato, the release clause will be valid until mid or late July and the defender’s suitors will not be able to trigger it in the final weeks of the summer transfer window. There is no doubt that the Brazilian is a talented defender, but he has done nothing to justify the €80m price tag and it would be highly surprising if clubs decided to splash that kind of money on him this summer. Spurs and Leicester are in need of defensive reinforcements but the Roma star will probably be too expensive for them. Jose Mourinho has been linked wi...
West Ham eyeing move for Illan Meslier
West Ham United are reportedly considering a move for Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier. Meslier joined Leeds on an initial loan deal from Ligue 1 club Lorient in August 2019. Following the Yorkshire side’s promotion to the Premier League, he signed a permanent three-year contract. He has established himself as one of the league’s most promising young goalkeepers this season, keeping eight clean sheets despite Leeds’ questionable backline. Meslier is congratulated by his teammates after a standout performance This form has attracted the attention of fellow top-flight side West Ham United, according to a report by Football Insider. The Hammers have had a marvellous season to date. They currently sit in sixth place, two points off a Champions League spot with a game in hand. However, the...
