Di Marzio makes claim on £89m ‘great player’ Ancelotti wants at Everton
It felt really good yesterday that football is back finally. We don’t know whether we will see the return of the Premier League anytime soon. Till that time, let’s keep engaged with the daily dose of transfer drudgery. And that brings us to Everton’s interest in Kalidou Koulibaly.

The likes of Yerry Mina or Michael Keane could be shown the door and a top-quality defender is needed as a replacement. While the likes of Lille’s Gabriel are being linked, Koulibaly would be one hell of a signing. Ancelotti knows him well from his time in Naples, and therefore the obvious connection. Widely regarded transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed that the Toffees shoul...

Report: Spurs have ‘received a green light’ in their bid to sign 24 y/o target
According to reports from the Daily Star, Tottenham Hotspur ‘have received a green light in their bid’ to sign Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton in the summer transfer window. However, with most leagues across Europe suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is not sure when the transfer window will open in the summer. Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is keen to bolster the midfield in the summer and has earmarked the Denmark midfielder as a potential option. With record-signing Tanguy Ndombele failing to make an impact, Spurs have lacked depth in midfield, especially with the departures of Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama. Mourinho loves holding midfielders who will sit deep and allow others to move forward. And that is why he feels Hojbjerg is the ideal man to take up the same...
Darren Bent would like to see 23-year-old striker playing for Leeds United: report
In an interview with Football Insider, Darren Bent has said that he would like to see Che Adams make the move to Leeds United, having failed to make an impression with Southampton in the Premier League.

Dykes would reportedly jump at the chance of a move to Ibrox and boss Steven Gerrard is said to be a great admirer of the 24-year-old.
