Report: Aston Villa have made contact with Spanish attacker regarding summer move
Napoli winger Jose Callejon will be a free agent at the end of this season. The former Real Madrid player has been linked with a move to Aston Villa now. Apparently, the Premier League side have made contact (via Sportwitness) regarding a summer move but Callejon is keen on a return to Spain. The 33-year-old is no longer a key starter for Napoli and he needs to move in order to play more often. Aston Villa could use a goalscoring winger but Callejon is past his peak. Signing him now wouldn’t make any sense. Dean Smith’s side should look to bring in someone younger with higher potential. It will be interesting to see where Callejon ends up this summer. He has the same agent as that of Reina and Baston. Aston Villa have dealt with the agent before and it remains to be seen whether they can c...
Report: Liverpool could offer £53m plus Origi in order to land 28-yr-old target

Origi has the talent to be a quality striker but he needs to join a club where he can play regularly. He has impressed during his cameos at Liverpool and he was instrumental to their Champions League win last season. It will b...

Report: Klopp is an admirer of £97m Barcelona man as he eyes possible summer swoop
According to Bleacher Report, Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele is an alternative option for Liverpool if their planned summer move for RB Leipzig star Timo Werner falls through. The Germany international striker wants a move to Anfield this summer and has already turned down an opportunity to join Bayern Munich as a result.

‘The arrogance of this’ – Some Spurs fans react to what agent of £75m target told Mourinho
Lille striker Victor Osimhen is on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur as boss Jose Mourinho looks to bolster his attacking ranks ahead of next season. The 21-year-old bagged 18 goals across all competitions for the Ligue 1 outfit before the French campaign ended abruptly, and he is also wanted by the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United.

Only two minutes later, Alphonso Davies waltzed through Fortuna’s defence, and calmly finished to make it 5. Luckily, Fortuna were able to mitig...
