Report: Club chairman confirms Leeds have made an offer for 21-goal attacker
Leeds have been linked with a move for the Gent attacker Jonathan David this summer. The club’s chairman has now revealed that Leeds have indeed submitted an offer for the player. David is thought to be keen on a move to French outfit Lille but his club won’t sell him to the French side if they try to sign him with a low offer. Leeds’ offer is thought to be much better than that of the Ligue 1 side. De Witte said to De Zondag (via Sportwitness): “I have only expressed my annoyance that contacts have been made with Lille behind our back, that Jonathan has clearly packed already. Against all rules. An orchestrated action from his agent and the club. There were no contacts last week, but that they have made a transfer impossible because of that is a bridge too fa...

Arsenal are keen on signing the Chelsea midfielder Willian this summer. The Brazilian can be snapped up on a free transfer and journalist Nicolo Schira claims that the Gunners are now in advanced talks with the player’s agent, Kia Joorabchian. Earlier today, there were reports that Willian could sign a new deal with the Blues. It will be interesting to see where the player ends up next season. A move to Arsenal might not go down too well with the Chelsea fans. However, he is a quality player and he would improve the Gunners a lot. Regardless of his age, he has been a key player for Chelsea this season and Arsenal could use his experience and creativity. Willian will add goals, assists and flair to Arteta’s attack. He has the winning experience to influence the Arsenal dressing room as...
Report: West Ham set to submit £11.4m bid for 23-yr-old defender in the coming days
West Ham are all set to make their move for the River Plate right back Gonzalo Montiel this summer. The Hammers were waiting to see if they can stay in the Premier League and beat the drop.

It will be interesting to see if the Premier League side can tempt him to join them. As per El Intransigente, West Ham are set to submit an offer for the player in the coming days. Montiel has a €20m release clause but West Ham are expected to offer around €12.5m (£11.4m). Apparently, that is the amount the Hammers must pay to secure a work permit for the defender.

According to reports from the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur are set to renew talks to sign Pierre Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton this summer.

Report: Bielsa keen on signing 15-goal star, Leeds will have to pay around £18.2m
Leeds will have to pay around €20m if they want to sign the Stuttgart star Nicolas Gonzalez this summer. The player was linked with a move to Elland Road earlier this month as well. Now Kicker (via Sportwitness) are reporting that they will have to pay a sizeable fee for the 22-year-old. Gonzalez has 5 goals and 3 assists to his name this season and he could prove to be a superb addition to Bielsa’s attack. He can play anywhere across the front three or as an attacking midfielder. If Bielsa comes calling, the Argentine is likely to be tempted. Also, the chance to play in the Premier League is hard to turn down. Leeds must look to improve their attack this summer but the €20m (£18.2m) asking price could be an issue for them. The Whites will have to improve their defence as we...

Leicester City are thought to be plotting a summer move for the Bordeaux midfielder Yacine Adli. As per the TopGirondins radio show, the Foxes are preparing a €14m offer for the young midfielder.

The Leicester City boss has a proven track record of improving young players and he has shown that at Swansea, Liverpool and Celtic as well. It will be interesting to see if they submit a con...

It remains to be seen how Leeds United approach their summer transfer window having secured promotion to the Premier League. The Whites owner Andrea Radrizzani has recently claimed that Leeds would be looking to bolster their squad this summer. However, instead of following the Aston Villa model, they are likely to follow the Sheffield United transfer model.

The Argentine playmaker, who is dubbed the new Lionel Messi, has been tracked by several European clubs as well.

According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Leicester City midfielder James Maddison has put pen to paper on a new four-year deal that will see him earn £110,000 per week. Manchester United and a couple of bigwigs home and abroad were keen on the 23-year-old ahead of the summer transfer window that has now opened today, but he has decided to commit his peak years to Brendan Rodgers’ side instead. The England international will now hope to lead them to a top-four finish next term after they narrowly missed out on it right at the end of the 2019-20 English Premier League campaign. Maddison featured in 31 league games for Leicester, scoring six times and weighing in with three assists, but injury ruled him out of the last six games, and his absence dealt a huge blow on the side.
