Newcastle United interested in signing former Arsenal star
Newcastle United are exploring the possibility of signing Aaron Ramsey from Juventus. According to Goal, the Magpies have enquired about the player’s availability as they look to bolster their midfield this summer. The Welshman has not had the best of times in Italy. He was brought into the side to add creativity, but the former Arsenal ace has netted just six times in all competitions for the Bianconeri. Under Maurizio Sarri, Ramsey was asked to play as a classic number ten but struggled in the role, particularly with his back to goal. “Ramsey needs to see more of the pitch in front of him, or he gets a little lost,” Sarri admitted in an interview with Sky Sport Italia in February last year. Sarri on Ramsey: “He maintains that he needs to see more of the pitch in front of ...
Leeds want South American with 16 goal contributions last season, player will cost €25m
Leeds United have been linked with a move for Brazilian attacker Matheus Cunha in recent weeks. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the Premier League club can now sign the 22-year-old for around €25 million.

Cunha mostly operates on the left side of the attack but can also play as a centre forward. He bagged eight goals and eight assists across all competitions for Hertha last season and has the potential to develop into a top-class...
Aston Villa expected to submit bid for €35m-rated versatile attacker
Aston Villa are keen on improving their attacking options this summer and have been linked with Sampdoria midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard, as per ClubDoria46. The Danish international was impressive for the Serie A club last season, and his performances at the European Championships were also eye-catching. Villa are expected to submit a significant offer for the 21-year-old but may need to bid at least €35 million to tempt Sampdoria into selling. The technically gifted attacker can play in several positions, and his versatility would be hugely useful for Villa. The Midlands club could use Damsgaard to replace Jack Grealish, who is closing in on a summer move to Manchester City. Grealish has been a key performer for Villa, but City’s £100m bid may well be enough to secure his services. A decisi...
