Crystal Palace are expected to complete the signing of Odsonne Edouard today, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano. The Eagles were in the market to sign a striker this summer and initially targeted Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal. The two clubs were poles apart in the valuation of the player, and although Arsenal reduced their asking price to £15 million, Palace felt it was still over the top. They swiftly turned their attention towards Edouard, who is now all set to leave Celtic today. The Frenchman has been their best player in recent seasons, but the Bhoys are looking to cash in with his contract coming to an end next summer. Romano has claimed that it’s a ‘done deal’ scenario and that personal terms have been agreed. The player will undergo his medical this morning. Odsonne Edou...
James Rodriguez is edging closer to leaving Everton this summer. The Colombian international hasn’t played a single game this season and is now set to leave without getting the opportunity to play in front of a fully-packed Goodison Park.

The player knows English football well and he should be able to make an immediate impact at Goodison Park. Currently, the Toffees are overly relian...
Everton and West Ham United have all been linked with a move for the Sassuolo winger Jeremie Boga. According to Footmercato via GFFN, the 24-year-old is valued at €20 million and the two Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on his situation. The likes of West Ham and Everton could certainly use more quality in the wide areas and Boga could prove to be a useful addition for them. The former Chelsea winger has improved massively since his move to Sassuolo and he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League. Boga barely had an opportunity to showcase his potential at Stamford Bridge and the player will probably feel that he has unfinished business in England. The winger is yet to reach his peak and a reported €20 million asking price could look like a bargain if he manages to adapt to th...
