Report: Liverpool have agreed a deal worth around €35-40m for 22-yr-old target
Liverpool have been linked with the Watford attacker Ismaila Sarr this summer. According to France Football (h/t Sportwitness), the Premier League champions have now secured an agreement with Watford and they are looking to sort out personal terms with the player now. Apparently, Liverpool will pay around €35-40m for Sarr. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool splash out on another attacker after signing Diogo Jota for a fee of around £45m last week. There is no doubt that Sarr would be a quality addition and he would add some much needed depth to Liverpool’s attack. He was outstanding against the Reds last season. With the likes of Brewster, Wilson and Origi set to leave this summer, investing in another attacking player makes sense for Liverpool. It will be interesting to ...
Report: Manchester United in advanced negotiations to sign £36.7m-rated defender
According to The Guardian, Manchester United are in advanced negotiations with Porto over the potential transfer of defender Alex Telles. The Red Devils have experienced a quiet summer transfer window and Donny van de Beek has been their sole purchase over the past eight weeks. As a result, there has been frustration among many fans, particularly after the disappointing 3-1 league defeat to Crystal Palace to start the campaign. The central defence remains a concern with the inconsistent displays of Victor Lindelof, but The Guardian reports that the club are currently looking to sign a new left-back. Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams have shared the left-back duties over the past year, but the former is the only specialist left-footed player for the position. Hence, United are looking to reinf...
Opinion: 27-yr-old linked with Man Utd could improve them massively in key area
Manchester United are keen on signing Alex Telles from Porto. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League giants are in talks with the Portuguese outfit regarding the 27-year-old and he is likely to cost around €20m. Telles has proven himself in Europe with Porto and he could provide ideal competition to Luke Shaw for the starting left-back slot at Manchester United. The Brazilian is more impressive going forward as compared to Shaw and he could prove to be a very useful option for Solskjaer’s team at both ends of the pitch. Manchester United need to bring in a full back who will support their attack and contribute offensively. Telles would certainly be an upgrade in that sense. Furthermore, he is at the peak of his career and he could make an immediate impact at Old Trafford. It...

According to Football Insider, the Premier League side have had a big turn down for the highly-rated defender but now they have decided to table a new offer for the England youth international worth around £800,000. It will be interesting to see if Leeds can finally agree on a fee with the Seagulls for the 18-year-old defender. Leeds tried to deal with Brighton for Ben White earlier in the summer but they were unsuccessful. Roberts is a highly talented defender who has a big future ahead of him. Signing him now would be a smart long term investment from Leeds United. A manager like Marcelo Bielsa could help the youngster fulfil his potential at Elland Road. Leeds have done well to develop young players at t...

Leeds plotting £13.7m bid for target, some of their fans react: ‘Fantastic player’, ‘Get him’
Leeds United have been linked with a move for Erick Pulgar. We covered reports earlier that the Premier League club are plotting a £13.75m bid for the midfielder. Pulgar has done well for Fiorentina this past season and he could prove to be a smart addition to Marcelo Bielsa’s midfield. It will be interesting to see if Leeds can convince the Italian outfit to sell the player to them. The 26-year-old is a combative presence in the midfield who will add goals to the side as well. Pulgar is a good tackler who will help Leeds defensively. He managed to pick up seven goals and eight assists for Fiorentina last season as well. The 26-year-old is a box-to-box midfielder and Leeds could use someone like him alongside Phillips and Klich this season. The Whites have been linked with Udinese’ Ro...

Report claims how much Spurs need to pay to sign 40-goal target
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Wout Weghorst this summer, but he won’t come cheap. Earlier today, Dutch media outlet De Telegraaf has claimed that the 28-year-old striker has played his last home game for the club, as Wolfsburg drew 0-0 against Bayer Leverkusen. It was claimed that he is expected to leave the club. The striker has always dreamt of playing in England, and it seems he could be on his way to Tottenham Hotspur. Weghorst has scored 40 goals in 82 games for the Bundesliga club, and has reached double figures for goals in each of the last five league seasons. According to reports from the German media outlet Bild, Spurs will have to pay in the region of 35 million (£32 million) to secure the signature of the Dutch international. It is an ope...
Report: Fulham to make interest in EPL defender & Leeds target formal soon
According to The Athletic’s Peter Rutzler, Fulham hold interest in Watford defender Craig Dawson and Tottenham Hotspur’s Juan Foyth, and they are expected to make the interest formal in the coming days. Manager Scott Parker wants to bolster his defence after his side shipped seven Premier League goals in their first two games of the new campaign, and landing the Spurs man and Hornets star could come very handy in order to boost their survival chances. Fulham have also linked with Sassuolo defender Marlon Santos, but they will have to part with at least £14 million to have a chance of landing the Brazilian. Foyth is expected to leave North London this summer as he is clearly not in boss Jose Mourinho’s plans this term and going forward. The Argentine has also been linked with Leeds United, ...
