Manchester City could make a third signing this week and are close to signing Colombia international Marlos Moreno, it is understood. The 19-year-old winger would cost around £4.75million if a deal to bring him from Atletico Nacional is completed. Moreno’s arrival would follow those of Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus, whose deals have already concluded this week, although reports have suggested he could immediately be loaned out for experience. Spanish club Deportivo la Coruna are a reported potential destination for the player, who came through the youth system at Atletico and has earned seven caps for Colombia. His signing would continue a busy summer at City following the appointment of Pep Guardiola as manager. Ilkay Gundogan, Oleksandr Zinchenko … [Read more...]
Kouyate double seals Europa League play-off spot for West Ham
Cheikhou Kouyate first-half double meant West Ham could enjoy their start to life at the Olympic Stadium as they saw off Slovenian side Domzale with ease in the Europa League . Cheikhou Kouyate scored twice and new signing Sofiane Feghouli opened his account as the Hammers, who left Upton Park at the end of last season, secured a 4-2 aggregate win to reach the play-offs for the group stages of the competition. Four years to the day since Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Greg Rutherford wowed the nation on Super Saturday at London 2012, the Olympic Stadium – now known as the London Stadium – finally welcomed its new tenants and West Ham could scarcely have wished for more obliging opposition as they overturned last week’s shock 2-1 first-leg loss in … [Read more...]
Napoli sign Liverpool target Zielinski
Piotr Zielinski has completed his transfer to Napoli after they reached an agreement with Udinese over the transfer of the midfielder. Napoli have secured the services of Piotr Zielinski from Udinese for a fee believed to be in the region of €15 million. The 22-year-old underwent a medical on Thursday before signing a five-year deal. The midfielder had previously been linked with Liverpool and seemed set to continue his career at Anfield, but the Premier League side refused to meet Udinese's valuation of the player and he has now moved to the Stadio San Paolo instead. Zielinski joined Udinese from Zaglebie Lubin at the age of 17 and made his debut for the Stadio Friuli side in November 2012. He was unable to secure regular first-team football at … [Read more...]
Liverpool set to keep Lucas Leiva
Liverpool will only sell midfielder Lucas Leiva if they can sign adequate defensive cover, according to reports. The Brazilian is the club’s longest-serving player after Martin Skrtel was sold to Fenerbahce earlier this summer. Lucas featured 40 times for the Reds last season – 27 times in the Premier League – as the club reached the finals of both the Europa League and Capital One Cup. But the 29-year-old remains back-up at best in a number of positions at Anfield, and has attracted interest from Galatasaray this summer. The Turkish club are not the only suitor for the Brazil international, but manager Jurgen Klopp will not sanction the sale unless defensive cover arrives, according to the Liverpool Echo. Injuries to Joel Matip, Mamadou Sakho and … [Read more...]
Diego Costa to stay at Chelsea-Cerezo
Diego Costa looks set to stay at Chelsea after Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo cooled reports of a move for their former striker. The Brazilian-born Spanish international has been the subject of intense speculation over the summer, with Blues boss Antonio Conte confusing matters with various contradictory statements. A reunion with Atletico Madrid, who have since signed Kevin Gameiro from Sevilla, did appear to be happening, but now Cerezo has respectfully ended those rumours. “There was never a Diego Costa transfer saga,” Cerezo told Marca. “Diego has a contract with Chelsea and is part of manager Antonio Conte’s squad. We are on friendly terms with Chelsea and see them as our friends. “Diego is also a friend and a true Atletico man, … [Read more...]
Suarez tips former club for top four finish
Luis Suarez believes his former club should be targeting a Champions League spot and is looking forward to a reunion this weekend. The Reds showed some signs of promise under Jurgen Klopp and the Uruguayan, who left Anfield in 2014 for £65m, has backed the German to set his sights high for the following season. “The last few months, everybody saw a really good performance from Liverpool,” the Barcelona attacker told the official Liverpool website. “They had a chance to win the Europa League and in the Premier League they played really well. “Now it’s a new season and I think the manager will have confidence they can finish in the top four.” Suarez is also gearing up to face Liverpool in a pre-season friendly at Wembley on Saturday and is ready to … [Read more...]
Terry delighted with Kante’s performance against AC Milan
Chelsea captain John Terry was full of praise for new signing N'Golo Kante after the midfielder made his debut for the club in the 3-1 win over AC Milan on Thursday morning. Kante joined the Blues from Premier League champions Leicester City last month in a £32million deal after his superb performances in midfield for the Foxes played a crucial role in Claudio Ranieri's side winning their first-ever top-flight title last term. After enjoying an extended break following Euro 2016, Kante joined up with his new Chelsea teammates last week and impressed Antonio Conte so much during that time, he was handed his debut in the International Champions Cup friendly against Milan in Minneapolis today. The Frenchman came on in the 52nd minute and did well to protect … [Read more...]
