Report: West Ham eyeing 44-yr-old to replace David Moyes, Sullivan likes him
West Ham are thought to be looking at alternatives to David Moyes this summer. Moyes hasn’t done too well at West Ham so far and the Hammers looking at other managerial options is hardly a surprise. The West Ham boss has failed to deliver for years now. His last good managerial spell was at Everton. Moyes is clearly looking out of his depth in the Premier League now. It will be interesting to see if the Hammers bring in someone else once this season is done and dusted. As per reports (via Sportwitness), the Londoners are keen on Ivan Juric. The 44-year-old Croatian has done well with Hellas Verona and David Sullivan has been impressed with his coaching. The Italian outfit will not want to lose their manager in the summer but West Ham have the finances to tempt him. If they can convince Jur...
‘A top player’: Paul Robinson urges Tottenham Hotspur to avoid selling 28-year-old attacker
In an interview with Football Insider, Paul Robinson has urged Tottenham Hotspur to keep hold of Erik Lamela even if they make additions to their attacking department this summer. The Argentina international has been with the north London side for nearly seven years and during this period, he has made 214 appearances across all competitions. In the current season, he has managed 27 outings with the capital outfit but only 13 of those appearances have come from the starting lineup. Still, he has made a decent impact with four goals and six assists and Robinson believes the 28-year-old has more to offer to the club. “I like Lamela. He has been a top player for Spurs and he has been there a long time,” He told. “He has come on a couple of times this season and really made an impact going forw...
Agent reveals Chelsea are leading the race to sign young Barcelona defender
The agent of Xavier Mbuyamba has revealed that Chelsea have made an interesting proposal to sign the young defender from Barcelona. The 18-year-old only joined the club’s under-19 side from MVV Maastricht last summer but his potential appears to have caught the eye of elite European teams. Speaking to Voetbal International, agent Carlos Barros revealed that Real Madrid, Juventus and Inter are some of the high-profile clubs, who have enquired about his client. However, he added that the most exciting proposal has come through Frank Lampard’s Chelsea, who believe the teenager can break into their first-team in a couple of years’ time. “Almost all major clubs in Europe have asked about Xavier,” He told. “Real Madrid are also there, they are serious about their youth system, but that woul...
Report: Tottenham keen on 9-goal attacker but face competition from Leicester City
Tottenham are keen on the Borussia Moenchengladbach forward Alassane Plea. According to Bild, Leicester City are keeping tabs on the player. The Londoners need to improve their attacking options this summer and Plea would be a good signing for them. The Bundesliga ace will add goals and creativity to the side. He has done well in Germany since moving to Gladbach and he has the quality to shine in the Premier League as well. He has 9 goals and 7 assists to his name in the league this season. Spurs are overly reliant on Harry Kane for goals and Plea’s arrival will give Mourinho another option. Also, the Gladbach ace can play across the front three and he would give Spurs the option to try out other formations. Plea can be the alternative to Kane or he could partner the England international ...
Report: Wolves have secured agreement in principle to sign 24-yr-old midfield player
Wolves are close to signing the Portuguese defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha. According to reports (via Sportwitness), the Premier League club have an agreement in principle to sign the 24-year-old. Wolves are expected to pay around €15m for the player. It will be interesting to see if the transfer is confirmed in the coming weeks. Nuno needed to add more depth to his midfield and Palhinha’s signing makes a lot of sense. He could partner Neves at the heart of Wolves’ midfield next season. The 24-year-old will add defensive steel alongside Neves’ creativity. His arrival will add more balance to Wolves’ midfield next season. Furthermore, the Sporting ace will improve Wolves at the back by shielding the back four. It would also allow the creative players to operate with more freedom. Palhinh...
Report claims Everton have submitted an ‘attractive’ offer for Frenchman
Everton have been linked with the Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo in the recent weeks. Now reports (via Sportwitness) claim that the Toffees have offered around €25m for the player. Barcelona view the offer as an attractive one as they initially valued the player at around €22m. It will be interesting to see if Everton can secure his services in the coming weeks. Juventus are keen on the player as well and they could offer Barcelona a swap deal with one of their own players in exchange. Todibo is a talented young player who would improve Everton defensively. Furthermore, a manager like Carlo Ancelotti could develop him into a star in future. It remains to be seen what the player decides in the end. For him, a move to Everton would be ideal. He is unlikely to get first-team chances at ...
Report: Celtic keen to snap up talented forward from Premier League club this summer
West Ham starlet Veron Parkes has turned down the chance to sign a professional contract with the club and Celtic are looking to snap him up this summer. As per Football Insider, Monaco, NY Red Bulls and other clubs are keeping tabs on the player as well. Parkes will be available for a very reasonable compensation this summer and it will be interesting to see if Celtic can secure his services. The 18-year-old forward is highly rated at the Premier League club and they will not want to lose him just yet. However, the player wants first-team football and West Ham might not be able to fulfill his demands. On the other hand, Celtic could provide him with some first-team opportunities in Scotland. The Scottish giants can include him in their cup games and allow him some minutes in the league as...

Edouard has scored 27 goals in 46 games for Celtic and has further provided 19 assists. Clearly he is now ready to jump the ship and play for a top European club....
‘It’s right that we allow’: Newcastle receive massive boost in the takeover process
The Newcastle United takeover process is taking a long time to reach a conclusion and quite naturally the fans are getting nervous and anxious. A deal in the region of £300 million has been agreed between Mike Ashley and the Newcastle potential owners. The deal has been agreed, while the potential new owners have signed a contract as well. The would-be new owners – Amanda Staveley’s consortium — comprising her company PCP Capital Partners (10 per cent), the billionaire Reuben brothers (10 per cent) and the 80 per cent majority stakeholding of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) – have done their part, and are awaiting the official confirmation from the Premier League. There are objections of human rights violations and piracy against the Saudi consortium. Last week, ...
Peter Schmeichel says Spurs winger is a realistic target he’d like Man Utd to sign
Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel has revealed that he would love to see his former club sign Tottenham Hotspur winger Son Heung-min. The Dane was asked during a Q&A session on Twitter which realistic target he would like the Red Devils to land, and he chose the South Korean: Son from spurs https://t.co/M2KGyVKnAI — Peter Schmeichel (@Pschmeichel1) May 18, 2020 Man. Utd have been routinely linked with a Spurs star as boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to boost his squad, but it’s not the player Schmeichel wants.

The England international has admitted he wouldn’t hesitate to leave North London if the silverware aren’t forthcoming, and he has been tipped ...
Report: Wolves keen on highly rated defender, but face competition from PL giants
Wolves are interested in signing the highly-rated defender Rayan Ait-Nouri. As per Birmingham Mail, Manchester City are keen on the player as well. The 18-year-old is a prodigious talent and he is rated highly across Europe. It will be interesting to see if the Premier League side manages to sign him this summer. Wolves certainly have the resources to pull off a signing like this. However, Angers director Sebastien Larcier believes that the current health crisis could tip things in favour of the selling club. The financial impact of Covid-19 is likely to curb the transfer spending this summer and it could help clubs hold on to their prized assets. Ait-Nouri was a target for Premier League clubs in January as well and there was an offer of around €30m for him. However, the move never materi...
