The relegated Cherries are still waiting for an official approach from the Magpies, but expect that an offer is incoming and hopeful of movement in the next 48 hours.

Report: West Ham and Newcastle keen on 27-yr-old, will have to pay around €15m
Sampdoria defender Omar Colley has been linked with a move to England this summer. As per reports (h/t sportwitness), the 27-year-old is thought to be on Southampton, Newcastle and West Ham’s radar. It is believed that the player is willing to move if he can make a step up in terms of quality. Both West Ham and Newcastle could prove to be ideal destinations for the defender.

Report: Hammers plotting move for £187k-a-wk player Klopp dubbed ‘extraordinary quality’
According to Express, West Ham United are keen on bringing Germany international midfielder Mario Gotze to the London Stadium this summer. The 28-year-old is a free agent after leaving Borussia Dortmund at the end of last season, and he is a wanted man across Europe, with AS Monaco and AS Roma also keen. Hammers boss David Moyes wants to strengthen his options in the attacking third after his side managed to score just 49 league goals last term, and he appears ready to take a punt on the World Cup winner. Gotze hasn’t exactly fulfilled his potential since scoring the winning goal for Germany against Argentina at the 2014 World Cup, ending last season with three goals and an assist in 20 appearances for Dortmund, but a change of scenery could do him some good. The playmaker has been linked ...

Spurs aren’t light on options on the wings, with Steven Bergwijn, Jack Clarke, Ryan Sessegnon Son Heung-Min, Lucas Moura, Erik Lamela and even Dele Alli all competing for playing minutes in the positions.

According to The Daily Telegraph, Fulham and Crystal Palace both have West Ham United midfielder Josh Cullen on their radars as they look to strengthen their squads this summer. The Republic of Ireland international has just a year left on his current contract at the London Stadium and will be available for a low fee.

Fulham clearly was impressed with his performances and are looking to add the necessary quality to their midfield foll...
Rooney sends warning to Rice after Leeds star earns England call-up
Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips earned his first England call-up last week following an impressive campaign in the English Championship last term. The 24-year-old played a huge role as Marcelo Bielsa’s side secured top-flight promotion following a 16-year absence, and he could make his Three Lions debut in next month’s UEFA Nations League group stage matches against Iceland and Denmark. At the moment, Phillips has the likes of West Ham United’s Declan Rice ahead of him in manager Gareth Southgate’s pecking order, but Wayne Rooney has sent a warning to the 21-year-old following the Leeds star’s call-up. “The biggest gap England have is in the middle — after Jordan Henderson, who is recovering from injury, they have no other established, top-class midfielder. It is the position where...
Report: Celtic set to beat West Ham for £40k-per-week player to secure their fourth signing
According to reports from Sunday Post, Celtic are edging closer to secure the signature of Shane Duffy from Brighton this summer. The 28-year-old has dropped down the pecking order at the Amex Stadium, and he will be allowed to leave the club.

West Ham won 2-1 against Brentford in the pre-season friendly on Saturday.
