Newcastle linked with PL forward, some of their fans react: ‘Bring back Rondon’
Newcastle have been linked with a move for the Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo. The former Watford ace is currently on loan at Old Trafford and he has made quite the impression already. If the Magpies signed him this summer, he could be a decent attacking option for them. Newcastle need to improve their attack considerably this summer and they will need more than one striker.

Report: Everton and Manchester United will need to shell out £44 million for this player
Everton and Manchester United will have to dig deep if they want to sign Napoli winger Hirving Lozano.

Both Everton and United have been linked with a move for Lozano, although it would be a big surprise if either were willing to shell out £44m to secure his services. Toffees’ boss Carlo Ancelotti is a known admir...
