Report: Everton now want to sign £225k-a-week Real Madrid ace
Everton want to sign Real Madrid star Isco, with new manager Rafa Benitez clearly on the lookout for an established number 10. The Toffees have already been linked with a move to bring Philippe Coutinho back to Merseyside, but Fichajes reckon that Benitez has switched his attention to Isco. The 29-year-old Spaniard has enjoyed some great times at the Santiago Bernabeu, although he has never quite lived up to expectations. Everton signing Isco could make perfect sense The Madrid star moving to Goodison Park this summer is certainly a viable transfer. Carlo Ancelotti said back in November that he had no interest in signing Isco when he was Everton manager (Daily Mail). So it is doubtful that the Italian envisages a key role for Isco now he has been appointed as Madrid’s new boss. The Sp...
‘Sad reality’, ‘Fraud’: Some Arsenal fans are unhappy with reported interest in Barcelona man
A selection of Arsenal fans have not welcomed the prospect of Barcelona goalkeeper Neto joining the club this summer. The Brazilian was heavily linked with the Gunners in January before they signed Mat Ryan on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion. Ryan is unlikely to rejoin them this summer, and it has recently been reported that the club are still interested in Neto’s services. His agent Kia Joorabchian is working closely to secure the transfer. Some Gunners supporters are unhappy with proceedings. Twitter reactions: I hate everything that comes after and including, ‘play out from the back’. 😭 — Faris Afiat (@AfiatFaris) July 5, 2021 Onana is the best deal we can get in this position but Edu is twerking for Kia Joorabchian’s clients. This is a sad reality we live in ht...
Southampton confident of beating Norwich City to signing of 29-goal striker – report
Southampton are confident of winning the race to sign Blackburn Rovers striker Adam Armstrong this summer, Football Insider reports. The 24-year-old had an impressive 2020/21 campaign with Rovers, registering a sublime tally of 29 goals and five assists from 43 appearances. Despite his efforts, the club finished a disappointing 15th in the Championship, and he now appears set to pursue a fresh challenge elsewhere. The striker has entered the final year of his contract, and Rovers seem prepared to sanction his sale than losing him on a free transfer next summer. They owe Newcastle United 40 percent of a future sale fee, but it is reported that the Saints could still sign him for just over £10 million this summer. Newly-promoted Norwich City have been heavily linked with Armstrong, but ...
Leeds linked with a move for 24-yr-old with 10 goal contributions last season
Leeds United have been linked with the move for the Olympique Lyonnais left-back Maxwel Cornet. According to reports (translated by Sportwitness), the Premier League side submitted an offer of around €12 million for the defender a few weeks ago but the French outfit are not convinced. Marcelo Bielsa wants to sign the 24-year-old left-back this summer and Leeds will have to come up with a better offer to lure the Ivorian away from the French club. Cornet has a contract with Lyon until the summer of 2023 and the French outfit are under no pressure to sell him this summer. The 24-year-old left-back managed to score four goals and pick up six assists across all competitions last year and he could prove to be a quality addition to the Leeds defence. Cornet is reliable at the back and ...

Wolverhampton Wanderers are weighing up an approach to sign Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson this summer, Football Insider reports. The Midlands outfit recently secured the permanent signing of Rayan Ait-Nouri from Angers after paying a fee of around £10 million. The club had the option to buy him for £18m, but managed to negotiate a lesser fee by accepting to include a 50 per cent sell-on clause. It is now reported that Wolves are searching for another left-back, and have their sights on landing Robinson from the Cottagers. He was purchased for just £2m from Wigan Athletic last summer. He is now valued at around £10m. Wolves are planning to test the Cottagers’ resolve with an opening bid. Sportslens view: Wolves heavily relied on Ait-Nouri for the left-back ...

The 25-year-old had an impressive season with the German club (13 goals) last year and he has followed it up with some outstanding performances for his country in the European Championships. Schick has got five goals in Euros with the Czech Republic and it is hardly surprising that he is being linked with a move to the Premier League.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the player could cost around €40 million. Leverkusen paid around €28 million for the striker last summer and it is understandable why they would look to make a considerable profit on him. Spurs ne...

Huge boost for Liverpool as agent speaks out on £50m Klopp target, price could drop too
Liverpool have been handed a huge double boost to their hopes of signing Otavio from Porto this summer. According to A Bola, the Portuguese giants are now willing to accept less than €60 million (£50m) for the exciting number 10.

Jurgen Klopp has a lot of work to do at Anfield this summer to get the Reds back to the top of the Premier League next season.

The Athletic: EPL star rejects lucrative new deal; Spurs’ recruitment team have plans for him
Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a potential transfer boost following news emerging from Southampton. According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, the Saints have presented a fresh four-year deal that would have made Danny Ings the best-paid player in the club’s history, but he rejected it.

Ornstein reports that Spurs have tried to secure Ings in the past, but The Sun have claimed that their recruitment team have a contingency plan if Harry Kane does go, with the former Liverpool striker on their list of possible replacements.

Report: Arsenal first option for £13m Everton target, agent working for a move right now
Arsenal are heavily interested in signing Neto from Barcelona this summer, according to Mundo Deportivo. The 31-year-old was keen to join the Gunners during the January transfer window, but the deal didn’t materialise at that time.

Report suggests 21-goal ace would be a dream signing for Tottenham this summer
Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on signing Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic this summer, but the player is keen on renewing his contract with the Italian club. According to Corriere dello Sport, the 21-year-old would be a dream signing for Spurs. The Serbian had an impressive season with Fiorentina last year, scoring 21 goals in Serie A. Tottenham need to add more quality to their attacking positions, and Vlahovic could prove to be a superb long-term investment for them. He is more of a target man and could form a quality partnership with Harry Kane, who is a complete forward. The England international likes to drop deep and help out creatively. Vlahovic would add a new dimension to Nuno Espirito Santo’s attack. The striker has the potential to develop into a top-class attacker and could re...
