‘Could be a masterclass’ : Villa eyeing 25-yr-old as Grealish replacement, some of their fans react
Aston Villa are interested in signing the Reading midfielder John Swift this summer. According to The Reading Chronicle, Dean Smith is keen on the player. Jack Grealish is expected to leave the club at the end of this season and Aston Villa need to sign a proper replacement. Swift has done well for Reading and he could be a decent alternative. Sheffield United are thought to be keen as well but Villa could hijack a move. Swift has six goals and ten assists to his name this season and he would be tempted to move to Aston Villa if they can stay up. Survival is in their own hands now and Villa just have to match Watford’s final day result. Even if Aston Villa go down, joining them would be a step up for the 25-year-old midfielder. The report claims that no official bid has been made yet. It r...
Report claims teenager Celtic want and Rangers had on trail has made a decision
Steven Gerrard’s Rangers and Neil Lennon’s Celtic wanted to sign Jamie McDonnell, but the youngster is joining Nottingham Forest instead, according to BBC Sport. Celtic and West Bromwich Albion wanted to sign the central midfielder in the summer transfer window, according to the report. The 16-year-old also had trials at Rangers, FC Groningen and Sheffield United, adds the report. However, according to the report, the Northern Ireland Under-17 international is leaving Glentoran and has signed for Forest in the Championship this summer. One for the future McDonnell is a very talented and promising young player who is one for the future and is very highly rated indeed. The 16-year-old, a product of the ClubNI programme, is still very raw and is still developing as a footballer. It would take...
Report: Player confident he’ll be at Southampton even if Tottenham Hotspur fail
According to The London Evening Standard, Kyle Walker-Peters is confident that he will join Southampton on a permanent contract from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window. Walker-Peters joined Southampton on loan from Premier League rivals Tottenham in the January transfer window. The 23-year-old right-back is scheduled to return to his parent club Spurs at the end of the season. However, Tottenham are interested in signing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton this summer and are hoping to use Walker-Peters in the deal, according to The London Evening Standard. The report has added that Walker-Peters is confident of making his loan move to Southampton permanent even if Hojbjerg does not move to Tottenham and joins Everton, who have had a bid of £25 million for the 24-year-old D...
Neil Lennon’s response when asked about £1m player’s future
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has told The Scottish Sun that he does not plan to send Leigh Griffiths out on loan in the summer transfer window. Griffiths was not part of the Celtic squad for their pre-season training camp in France due to fitness issues. The former Wolverhampton Wanderers striker was left behind in Scotland, as the Glasgow giants faced Nice, Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain in friendly matches in France. The 29-year-old striker returned to training overweight, as reported by The Scottish Sun, but Celtic manager Lennon does not plan to loan him out this summer. Lennon told The Scottish Sun when asked about sending Griffiths out on loan: “I’m not even considering that at the minute. He’s been coming on but we’ll assess him when we get back.” Celtic stay Griffiths – who joined Celt...
‘Great news’, ‘Absolutely love it’: Many Leeds fans react to Adam Pope’s tweet
Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has claimed recently that the Whites would be active in the summer transfer window. He expects Marcelo Bielsa to remain in charge at the club. However, instead of spending ridiculous money on players in the transfer market like Aston Villa or Fulham, they are likely to follow the smart approach of Sheffield United. Helder Costa has already joined on a permanent deal. And it seems Leeds are looking to secure permanent deals for other loanee players as well. Illan Meslier, who joined Leeds on loan from Lorient, is likely to sign a permanent deal with the Elland Road club in the next few days. The young goalkeeper impressed heavily in the absence of Kiko Casilla, and he is looking forward to playing with Leeds again in the Premier League. He has conce...
Report: Euro giants plotting summer move to sign 26 y/o West Ham star
According to reports from French outlet Le10Sport, French giants Monaco are showing interest in signing West Ham United striker Sebastien Haller. West Ham signed the 26-year-old striker last summer for a club-record £45 million deal from Eintracht Frankfurt. However, the striker has struggled to make a big impact in the Premier League. He scored 20 goals in 41 appearances during the 2018/19 Bundesliga campaign but has only managed to hit the target seven times this season. He has become a peripheral figure under David Moyes, and the Hammers could offload him during the summer. Moyes, who will be keen to sculpt the squad to his own taste, is likely to bring his choice of players this summer. Haller doesn’t seem to be a fit in his system. Furthermore, post coronavirus, finances wou...
Report: PL club want £5m for 29 y/o…Celtic have made their transfer decision
Newcastle United goalkeeper Karl Darlow has struggled to get regular games this season, and the Magpies are likely to sell him this summer. The 29-year-old is the second-choice keeper at the club behind Martin Dubravka. He is yet to feature in the Premier League this season but has played in six cup games. The Magpies are demanding a fee in the region of £5 million but it seems Celtic won’t be moving for him this summer. The Bhoys, who were reportedly interested in signing Darlow last summer, are badly in need of a new goalkeeper. Fraser Forster, who was so influential last season for the club, has returned to Southampton after his loan spell expired at Parkhead. The Bhoys have tried to sign him permanently, but he wants to fight for his place in the side. Likewise, Craig Gordon has l...
Report: Spurs ‘expected to increase’ their bid for £25m star…but there’s a catch
Everton and Tottenham Hotspur are both interested in signing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton in the transfer window. It seems Everton are still leading the race for his signature. According to an exclusive report from the Daily Echo, Hojbjerg has visited Everton’s training ground and has agreed personal terms with the Toffees. The report claims that Southampton have accepted Everton’s offer of £25m for the midfielder. Everton had submitted a £20m offer earlier this week but it was turned down by the Saints. That means, after rejecting two previous bids from the Toffees, Southampton have finally accepted their third offer. The report claims that although the deal is yet to be finalised, it is getting closer to be completed. However, there could be a late twis...
‘He needs to go’, ‘Let him go’ – Some Villa fans react as Grealish comments on his future
Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish has been linked with a move away from the club for a while now. The playmaker has now revealed that he is not too sure about his future at the club but he is fully focused on the relegation battle and he is keen to keep his boyhood club in the Premier League next season. Speaking to Sky Sports about his future at Villa, he said: “I’m not too sure at the moment. I have one aim and that is to keep this club in the Premier League, where this whole fanbase know we belong. That’s all I’m thinking about at the moment and hopefully we can do that on Sunday.” Aston Villa picked up a massive 1-0 win over Arsenal last night and it has lifted them out of the bottom three. Safety is once again in their own hands now. If Villa can match Watford’s result in the ...
20 goals & 18 assists this season: Man Utd in advanced talks with attacker regarding transfer
Manchester United have been linked with the Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho for a while now. According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, the former Manchester City player is now in advanced talks with the Red Devils regarding a summer transfer. Schira adds that Dortmund value the player at €120m this summer. It will be interesting to see if the Premier League giants can negotiate a lower fee for their attacking target. Apparently, Sancho is a priority for Manchester United and the player wants to leave the German club as well. Sancho has been in fantastic form this season and he would be a tremendous coup for the Old Trafford giants. He will improve them massively in attack and United could turn into genuine title contenders with him on their side. Solskjaer’s men have already improved a l...
Report: Everton could reignite interest in 28-yr-old January target this summer
Everton are keen on signing the Inter Milan midfielder Matis Vecino this summer. The player was linked with the move to Goodison Park during the January transfer window as well but the move never materialised. It will be interesting to see if Everton can sign their man this time. The Toffees are looking to bring in a central midfielder this summer and they have been linked with the likes of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as well. Vecino is another option for them (Tuttosport via Sportwitness). Vecino would perhaps be a cheaper alternative to the Southampton star. It remains to be seen whether Carlo Ancelotti makes a move for the Uruguayan. Vecino is set for surgery on his knee now and his recovery could be key to any future move. He could be a decent option for Everton next season. The 28-year...
