Wolves want to sign £17m defender this summer…but he prefers move to Spurs – Report
Wolverhampton Wanderers have shown interest in signing Takehiro Tomiyasu this summer, but the player wants to join Tottenham Hotspur. According to Sky Sports, Wolves are looking to bolster their defence and have earmarked Tomiyasu as a potential option. Tottenham have been heavily linked with the Bologna defender, but they have found it difficult to agree a deal for the £17 million-rated player. He still prefers a move to the north London club, but doubts remain about how serious Spurs are about him at the moment. It has been claimed that Spurs have turned their attention towards signing Nikola Milenkovic, who was also being watched by West Ham United. Wolves are also interested in signing the Serbia international, who has just one year left on his Fiorentina contract. ...
Everton competing with Flamengo to sign 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder – report
Everton are interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira, a report from TNT Sports claims. Pereira spent the 2020/21 campaign with Serie A club Lazio, but barely played for them with just over 800 minutes across all competitions. He is unlikely to play a regular role with United this term. It appears likely that he could be shown the exit door before the transfer deadline. It is now reported that the Toffees are interested in signing the Brazil international on loan with the option to buy at the end of the campaign. However, they face stiff competition from Flamengo. The Brazilian champions are prepared to include an obligation to buy as part of a loan deal. Sportslens view: Pereira can operate anywhere in midfield, but he prefers to play in the number 10 position. Th...

Predicted Liverpool XI: Klopp could be without key duo, 25-year-old set to start
Liverpool will get their new Premier League season underway on Saturday with a trip to Carrow Road where they will face newcomers Norwich City. The likes of Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United have made stellar signings this summer, and it promises to be a tight title race this time around. The Reds have only added Ibrahima Konate to their ranks, but the return of several key players from injuries — notably Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain — feels like new additions. Liverpool finished third in the league table last season, and they will hope to prove that last season’s underwhelming performance was due to bad luck with injuries. Andy Robertson picked up an ankle ligament injury and he could be out for a while. However, Kostas Tsimikas, wh...
Report: Liverpool determined to sign £45m attacker before transfer window closes
Liverpool are hoping to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker Adama Traore this month, according to a report from 90min.

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are all set to turn 30 this season.

Liverpool eyeing Adama Traore swoop 90min reckon Klopp is determined to sign another forward before the transfer window closes at the end of this month. And Adama is a man the Reds boss believes could take his team to another level. The Daily Mail claims that the 25-y...
‘My information is that’ – The Athletic journo delivers exciting transfer update for Spurs fans
The Athletic journalist Jack Pitt-Brooke has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign at least two more players before the transfer window closes. This has been an excellent transfer window for Tottenham, with Cristian Romero, Bryan Gil and Pierluigi Gollini joining the club. However, the central talking point is still about the future of Harry Kane, who has been targeted by Premier League giants Manchester City. Pitt-Brooke has claimed that Spurs want an attacking player, and they are willing to spend money to bolster that area. Lautaro Martinez has been linked with a move to Spurs this summer, and he remains a top target for the club. Spurs also want to sign at least one more defender, with a centre-back and right-back their main priorities. Tottenham have sold Toby Alderw...
Tottenham have opened talks to sign 23-yr-old who has been linked with West Ham
Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months. West Ham United are keen on signing the 23-year-old Serbian who will be a free agent next summer. However, Sky Sports are reporting that West Ham’s move for Milenkovic has now stalled, and Tottenham Hotspur have opened talks to sign him. Both London clubs need defensive reinforcements this summer, and Milenkovic could prove to be a useful option. He is in the final year of his contract and is likely to be available for a knockdown price. Milenkovic has shown his quality in Serie A and has the attributes to shine in the Premier League. The Hammers are competing in the Europa League this season, and adding Milenkovic to their squad would boost their hopes of progression. While West Ham s...

Player may have played final game for Chelsea after manager snub [Opinion]
Tiemoué Bakayoko faces an uncertain future at Chelsea after falling down the pecking order and being ignored by Thomas Tuchel. The Sun recently revealed Chelsea are willing to cash in on the 26-year-old amid interest from Lyon, so the writing appears to be on the wall. Bakayoko has spent the last three years of his Chelsea career out on loan and was overlooked by Tuchel in Wednesday’s Super Cup win, so it’s hard to see him staying at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are likely to take a big hit on his sale as Bakayoko’s stock has fallen considerably since he arrived. The French international joined from AS Monaco for £40 million in 2017 and has made 43 appearances in all competitions. After underperforming in his debut season, Bakayoko was loaned out to AC Milan (August 2018 – June 2019), Monaco...
Turkish giants enter talks to sign Chelsea star who was previously bought for €39m – report
Turkish giants Besiktas have entered negotiations with Chelsea to sign striker Michy Batshuayi, French publication Footmercato claims. Batshuayi has been with the Blues since 2016, but he has been restricted to just 77 appearances for the club across all competitions. He has spent the past two-and-a-half seasons away on loan, and it now appears that he could be heading for a permanent move elsewhere. Besiktas have opened talks with the Blues. Batshuayi is keen to join a club where he can play regularly and secure a World Cup spot with Belgium. Sportslens view: Batshuayi had a productive loan spell with Crystal Palace during the back end of the 2019/2020 season, registering five goals from 11 league outings. He returned to the Eagles on loan last term but was surprisingly ignored by manager...
Report: Dean Smith leading race to sign Aston Villa ace’s brother
Aston Villa are front-runners to sign Northampton Town ace Caleb Chukwuemeka this summer, according to a report from All Nigeria Soccer. Tottenham Hotspur were keen to sign the 19-year-old attacker, but the Villans are now thought to have a big advantage. Chukwuemeka’s younger brother Carney Chukwuemeka is on the periphery of Villa’s first team. And that is thought to be the factor that could tip the scales back in Villa’s favour. Aston Villa leading Chukwuemeka race All Nigeria Soccer reckon that Dean Smith’s Villa side are now leading the race for the talented teenager’s signature. The young striker would be an exciting signing for the Villans. He only scored one goal in 22 league games for Northampton last season. However, that doesn’t tell the whole story. Chukwuemeka po...
