We think it’s fair to assume that Man Utd and Arsenal will be making more signings…
Like a hormonal teenager with a a wandering eye it seems that Manchester United are eyeing up any decent bit of talent that comes their way. Not content with just making flattering looks towards Di Maria or Vidal , The Mirror report that Atletico Madrid’s Arda Turan is Van Gaal’s latest target and that they can land the Turkish winger for £15million. Meanwhile in the realms of ‘not going to happen’, The Mail think that Atletico could replace him with Andre Schurrle. It’s not like the German is in the best form of his life or anything.
The Metro think that Edinson Cavani doesn’t seem to like wine and cheese very much or else he just hates playing second fiddle to Zlatan at PSG because Arsenal are the latest club linked with the Uruguayan striker. Call us sceptical about that one. The Express have used their immense powers of deduction to conclude that Sami Khedira’s exclusion from the Galacticos Mark II win against Sevilla is a sign that he is off to Arsenal or Chelsea. JOE thinks that he would be a cracking signing for either of them.
It seems that Arsene Wenger has developed a taste for tough tackling midfielders. Yesterday he was linked with Cheik Tiote and now it’s the turn of free agent Stephane Mbia according to The Star. Serge Gnabry is a popular boy with The Mirror reporting that Southampton, Newcastle, Sunderland and Crystal Palace all want to take him loan.
Staying in North London and it seems that the prolific Roberto Soldado (from the penalty spot anyway) could be used as part of a £10m deal to land Inter Milan’s Freddy Guarin according to Talksport. West Ham fans, you can breath easily this morning with the news that your £5m bid to sign Conor Wickham was rejected.
It seems that all of Roy Keane’s coaching on a 12 year old Danny Welbeck has paid off with news that Hull City are preparing a bid for the striker according to the Mirror. Welbeck could be replacing our own Shane Long as various papers are reporting that The Tigers are looking to wrap up that deal before their season opener with Liverpool.
The Mail are the bearers of bad news for Southampton fans as they reckon that Morgan Schneiderlin has agreed a verbal deal to join Spurs while Crystal Palace have bid £3m for Jack Cork. The Express have the inside line on Tony Pulis’ transfer plans as he lines up a £6m bid for Norwich’s Nathan Redmond while Steven N’Zonzi is also a target for the Eagles.
Finally, Federico Fernandez’s move to Swansea is almost complete while the mercurial Adel Taarabt looks like he will be moving back to AC Milan on loan.
