Crystal Palace midfielder Yannick Bolasie has joined Everton for an undisclosed fee, the two clubs have confirmed. The 27-year-old has signed a five-year deal at Goodison Park and is looking forward to the challenge that awaits him on Merseyside. "I’m looking forward to putting on the Everton shirt,” Bolasie told evertontv. “This is a big club and I know all about it from having played against them over the years. “For me, it was a no-brainer to come here. But now that I’ve come to Everton, the job is not done. I’ve got to work hard and feel my way in. I’m ready and up for the challenge. “It’s not about the money for me. It’s about looking at the ambition of the Club and where they are trying to get to. I just like to play football." Ronald Koeman … [Read more...]
Henry worried by Arsenal’s lack of spending
Thierry Henry is worried that Arsenal have lost the ability to attract the very best players in world football to the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners looked far from convincing in their opening day 4-3 loss to Liverpool and many fans will be expecting additions to the squad before the end of the transfer window. Arsene Wenger has only brought in Granit Xhaka, Rob Holding and Takuma Asano , with Xhaka likely to be the only one that features on a regular basis for the Gunners. And Henry thinks Arsenal will struggle to find the quality they need to improve their side as players don’t find a move to the Emirates an attractive prospect anymore. “The thing I don’t understand is, we’ve been told that Arsenal are wealthy, that we have money, that we can compete … [Read more...]
Yaya Toure dropped from Manchester City Champions League squad
Pep Guardiola has opted not to take Yaya Toure on the trip to Bucharest, prompting further questions over his Manchester City future. Yaya Toure's future at Manchester City was plunged into further doubt on Monday after he was left out of Pep Guardiola's 21-man squad for the Champions League clash with Steaua Bucharest. Toure failed to make the bench for Saturday's 2-1 defeat of Sunderland in City's Premier League opener and will again play no part in the first leg of the play-off tie in Romania. The Ivory Coast international was one of several high-profile City players that did not make an appearance against the Black Cats with Joe Hart an unused substitute and Eliaquim Mangala, Wilfried Bony and Samir Nasri not in the matchday squad. Guardiola said … [Read more...]
Sassuolo turn down move for Balotelli
Mario Balotelli's hopes of securing a move away from Liverpool have been dealt a further blow, after Sassuolo opted against bringing the Italian to the club. The striker has been seeking pastures new after being told that he is not part of Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp’s plans at Anfield this season, and is keen to bring his disappointing spell with the Premier League club to an end. Arriving in an €18.5 million deal from AC Milan in 2014, Balotelli struggled to just a single goal in his debut campaign with the Reds, whilst a loan back at the Rossoneri last season proved to be equally unfruitful. Liverpool are looking to cut their losses on the former Manchester City striker and have resorted to offering him to clubs around Europe, with Sassuolo the … [Read more...]
Memphis Depay still in Manchester United’s plans-Mourinho
Despite rumours a lack of discipline off-field has hampered Memphis Depay, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has shown his support. Selecting him in his 23-man squad for their season opener away to Bournemouth, Jose Mourinho has backed Memphis Depay to make an impact for Manchester United. Many expected the 22-year-old Dutchman to be one of Mourinho's first casualties after a disappointing opening season at Old Trafford, but the new manager is predicting big things. "Of course, I want Memphis to be part of my squad," Mourinho told the Sunday People. "I don't want to go into last season too much, but I know the player I've watched at PSV and the World Cup two years ago when he was a very young kid. "Having that player in mind, I want to keep … [Read more...]
Zlatan hints at extended Manchester United stay
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has admitted he could extend his stay at Manchester United by up to three more years as the 34-year-old prepares to make his Premier League debut against Bournemouth this weekend. The Red Devils signed Ibrahimovic on a one-year deal in July after the striker left French side Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season following four successful years in France. Ibrahimovic has already impressed at his new club, scoring the winner in United's Community Shield match against Leicester City last week. And the striker admits he is already thinking about potentially staying on at United past his current one-year contract. "I don't believe there is anyone who could say 'no' to Manchester United," he told Sky Sports. "Even the name … [Read more...]
Mourinho hails Woodward and club for transfers
Jose Mourinho has hailed the efforts of Ed Woodward and Manchester United’s moneymen for bringing the club’s four major targets to the club this summer. Mourinho’s arrival has coincided with a transformative transfer window for the Red Devils, with world record signing Paul Pogba – who is suspended for the trip to Bournemouth – joining Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The decisive manner in which the club have secured their primary targets contrasts with the laborious and underwhelming recruitment that characterised the tenures of David Moyes and Van Gaal. Mourinho was happy to take some of the credit, suggesting he had arrived with a clearly defined shopping list that contrasted with less clear-minded contemporaries. But he … [Read more...]
