Newcastle show ‘serious interest’ in 23-year-old with 3.6 clearances per game last season – report
Newcastle United have shown a serious interest in signing Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers this summer, 90min reports. The 23-year-old has entered the final year of his contract with the north London club, and he appears likely to move on in the quest for regular game time. The United States international made four cup appearances for Spurs in 2016/17, but he has since spent time on loan with six different clubs. He was recently with Bournemouth in the Championship. He managed 26 appearances for the south coast outfit, who made it to the play-off semi-finals. Carter-Vickers is attracting plenty of interest from Major League Soccer clubs, but he prefers to stay in Europe to continue his development. He believes that he has the best chance of making next year’s World Cup ...
‘Would be a solid bit of business’, ‘Get him’ – Some West Ham fans react to links with 24-yr-old
West Ham United have been linked with a move for the Liverpool defender Nat Phillips. The 24-year-old made quite an impression with the Reds last year and he could prove to be a useful option at the back for the Hammers. Liverpool had a major injury crisis last year and they had to rely on fringe players like Phillips and Rhys Williams to get them through the season. Phillips produced several assured displays at the back during the second half of the season and he was instrumental in their push for the top-four finish. West Ham could certainly use more depth at the back and the Liverpool player could be an inexpensive option for them. The Reds have signed Ibrahima Konate earlier this summer and the likes of Phillips will struggle to get game time at Anfield next season. The 24-year-old nee...
Moyes keen on 27-yr-old, West Ham have opened talks with Premier League rivals
Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, and West Ham United are reportedly keen on securing his services. According to 90min, the Hammers are in talks regarding a transfer for the attacking midfielder, and David Moyes is keen on a reunion with Barkley. Moyes worked with Barkley during their time together at Everton, and he knows the midfielder’s strengths and weaknesses. The 27-year-old was on loan at Aston Villa last season. He made an impressive start, but his form dipped drastically, and he struggled to hold down a regular starting berth during the second half of the campaign. It is highly unlikely that Barkley will get first-team opportunities at Chelsea next year, and he must look to move on permanently this summer. Moyes got the bes...
Newcastle and Leeds are prepared to place a bid for highly rated 21-yr-old
Newcastle United continue to be linked with a move for Swedish midfielder Jens Cajuste. According to Expressen.se, Newcastle and Leeds United are prepared to bid for the 21-year-old. Cajuste had an impressive season with Midtjylland last year and received a call-up to the Sweden squad for the European Championships. The midfielder is highly rated by the Danish club, and they value him at around £12 million. Newcastle have Isaac Hayden as their main defensive midfielder and need to add more depth to the position. It is a similar story for Leeds, with Kalvin Phillips the undisputed number one in that role for the Yorkshire club. Marcelo Bielsa tried to use Robin Koch as a defensive midfielder last season, but he failed to replace Phillips properly and weakened Leeds defensivel...
Sky Sports: West Ham want Liverpool centre-back Klopp dubbed ‘brilliant’
West Ham United are keeping tabs on Liverpool centre-back Nat Phillips, according to Sky Sports Transfer Centre (3.33 pm). The 24-year-old is surplus to requirements at Anfield following the arrival of Ibrahima Konate and the return to full fitness of Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez. Phillips is expected to leave Liverpool this summer, but the Hammers would consider a move only if they decide to sell one of their current first-team centre-backs. Sportslens View Manager Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for Phillips when he was won Liverpool’s Player of the Month award for March, dubbing him a ‘brilliant guy‘. West Ham have Angelo Ogbonna, Craig Dawson and Issa Diop as their current options at the back after Fabian Balbuena’s departure. Diop has been linked with an exit this summer,...

‘Brain dead’, ‘Criminal’: Some Arsenal fans fume at fresh transfer interest in 23-year-old
Arsenal are planning a fresh bid to sign Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale this summer, talkSPORT reports. The Gunners are eyeing a new back-up goalkeeper to provide competition to Bernd Leno, and Ramsdale has emerged as the top target. They have already failed with a couple of bids for the Englishman and are now prepared to make a renewed offer worth £30 million. Sportslens view: The Gunners had Mat Ryan as their back-up goalkeeper earlier this year as he made the temporary switch from Brighton & Hove Albion. They were keen on signing him permanently, but he joined Real Sociedad after receiving assurances of a starting role. With the lack of confidence in Alex Runarsson, the club are actively searching for a new deputy to Leno, and Ramsdale appears the prime target. The ...
Southampton and Burnley want to sign £20m star with 79 Premier League appearances – report
Leicester City, Southampton and Burnley are among the clubs interested in signing Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles this summer, BBC Sport reporter Simon Stone claims. The 23-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan with West Bromwich Albion, having struggled to secure regular minutes under manager Mikel Arteta. With two years left on his contract, the Gunners appear open to sanctioning his sale as they look to recoup funds for potential new signings this summer. The Foxes and Saints were keen on signing Maitland-Niles on loan in January. They are back in the running to sign alongside Sean Dyche’s Burnley. Sportslens view: Maitland-Niles is a central midfielder by trade, but he has played nearly 90 per cent of his games for the Gunners in the full-back/wing-back positi...

PSG fullback offered to Serie A champions who want Man Utd player instead [Report]
Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly offered Laywin Kurzawa to Inter Milan recently, but the Nerazzurri would prefer to sign Manchester United’s Alex Telles. As per TuttoMercatoWeb, PSG want to offload the left-back, with the Giuseppe Meazza emerging as a potential landing spot. The 28-year-old arrived at the Parc des Princes from Monaco in 2015 but has since blown hot and cold in the French capital, often playing second fiddle to Juan Bernat. However, he failed to establish himself as a permanent first-team fixture last season despite the Spaniard’s long-term injury, recording just ten Ligue 1 starts. As a result, PSG want to cut ties with Kurzawa, and they would allow him to join Inter on a free transfer to get rid of his wages. The Italians are chasing a new left-back after Ashley Young ...
Aston Villa enter negotiations to sign attacker with 14 goal contributions last season – report
Aston Villa are making progress towards signing Norwich City attacker Todd Cantwell this summer, Football Insider reports. The 23-year-old has entered the final year of his Canaries contract, and he has shown no signs of extending his stay with the club. Hence, he is likely to be sold this summer, and the Villans are reportedly in advanced negotiations with the Canaries to sign him. The Midlands outfit recently broke their transfer record to sign Emiliano Buendia, and they look set to land another player from Carrow Road. Sportslens view: Cantwell was linked with a move to Leeds United last summer, but a deal failed to materialise as they did not meet the £20 million price tag. The attacker struggled during the first half of last season with injuries, but he still had a good campaign ...
Villa Park will erupt if Dean Smith can sign £25m Everton target this summer – SL View
Aston Villa have joined the race to sign Leon Bailey from Bayern Leverkusen this summer, according to the Daily Mail. The 23-year-old is seen as one of the most exciting young attacking talents in Bundesliga, and he would be a cracking signing for Dean Smith’s side. However, Villa could face competition from Everton, with The Athletic recently claiming that Bailey features on their shortlist. The Jamaican international bagged 14 goals and 10 assists in 38 appearances last term and has everything it takes to light Villa Park up. Villa have already signed Emiliano Buendia from Norwich City, but Smith is still looking to add another creative attacking midfielder or winger to his squad. While there have been talks of Manchester City luring Jack Grealish away, Villa insist that t...
West Ham United planning fresh move for defensive midfielder with 22 international caps – report
West Ham United have revived their interest in signing Spartak Moscow midfielder Alex Kral, Football Insider reports. The Hammers were heavily linked with the Czech Republic international last month, but talks cooled with his participation at the European Championships. Kral was used sparingly with just 124 minutes from four outings. Spartak were previously looking for at least £20 million. The Hammers believe that they can sign him for less. The east London outfit are planning to hold a fresh round of negotiations for the 22-cap international, who registered five goals from 30 outings for Spartak last term. Sportslens view: The Hammers will be playing in the Europa League group stage for the first time, and with that comes the added workload for the season. The club have Declan Rice,...
