Chelsea are keen on signing the talented Manchester United keeper Dean Henderson this summer. As per Mirror, the Blues are ready to hand him a bumper contract worth around £170,000-a-week. They believe that a fee of around £55m would be enough to sign the 23-year-old.

If the Old Trafford outfit cannot guarantee him first-team football, Chelsea could provide him with an exit route. De Gea is currently the undisputed starter at Manchester United, despite his dip in form. Henderson has been on loan at Sheffield United this season and he will want to sort out his long term future in the summer. It will be interesting to see if Unite...

Report: Leeds receive massive boost in the race to sign in-demand playmaker

It remains to be seen how Leeds United approach their summer transfer window having secured promotion to the Premier League. The Whites owner Andrea Radrizzani has recently claimed that Leeds would be looking to bolster their squad this summer. However, instead of following the Aston Villa model, they are likely to follow the Sheffield United transfer model. Leeds United are one of the clubs showing keen interest in signing Thiago Almada this summer. However, the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal are also keen to sign the Argentine. The Argentine playmaker, who is dubbed the new Lionel Messi, has been tracked by several European clubs as well.

Report: Leicester star attracting interest from Man. Utd signs £110k-a-wk four-year deal

According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Leicester City midfielder James Maddison has put pen to paper on a new four-year deal that will see him earn £110,000 per week. Manchester United and a couple of bigwigs home and abroad were keen on the 23-year-old ahead of the summer transfer window that has now opened today, but he has decided to commit his peak years to Brendan Rodgers’ side instead. The England international will now hope to lead them to a top-four finish next term after they narrowly missed out on it right at the end of the 2019-20 English Premier League campaign. Maddison featured in 31 league games for Leicester, scoring six times and weighing in with three assists, but injury ruled him out of the last six games, and his absence dealt a huge blow on the side. The Foxes str...

Gary Lineker and Chris Sutton react to Leicester City’s 2-0 defeat on Twitter

Leicester City crashed to a 2-0 defeat against Manchester United in the Premier League today. Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Jesse Lingard ensured a priceless win for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, who will now play Champions League football next season. With Champions League qualification at stake, the Foxes needed to beat the Red Devils at home today. However, Brendan Rodgers’ side continued their miserable run of form with another loss. At one point Leicester were in the title race and since then they have picked up just 23 points from 19 games. Despite their injury issues, the capitulation from Rodgers’ team is simply unacceptable. Although the Foxes will play Europa League next season, this is by no means a successful year for them. Leicester fans will be thoroughly disappointed with th...

Report: Leeds eye move to secure signature of 22 y/o defender

According to a report from The Sun on Sunday (26/7; page 63), newly promoted Premier League side Leeds United could turn their attention to Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe in the summer transfer window.

The signing has proved to be an inspired one from Marcelo Bielsa as he proved to be a key player for the Whites as they clinched the Championship title. However, with Brighton securing Premier League status for the next season, it appears that White’s chances of returning to Elland Road are slim. Leeds may have to pay a premium fee to secure his signature. The report claims that Brighton are not willing to let Leeds sign White as they anticipate the Elland ...

According to the MEN, Manchester United have shelved their summer transfer plans until the club’s Champions League fate is clear. Currently in the third spot, the Red Devils face off against fellow top-four hopefuls Leicester City who are just one point behind them.

According to the report, United have made no more enquiries about their targets since discovering the transfer window was set to open on J...

According to the Daily Record, Manchester United have entered the race to sign Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes.

Competition for the 22-year-old will be high with the likes of Everton, Napoli, and Inter Milan all keen. According to the report, Napoli see the young Samba star as a replacement for defensive lynchpin Kalidou Koulibaly – another player United are interested in. The fact that they view him capable of replacing the Senegalese is a testament to the promise he has sh...

The Argentine goalkeeper has been used mostly as a back-up keeper behind David De Gea...
