Manchester City are preparing an improved bid for Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes, but are prepared to walk away if the price goes too high. It was revealed on Thursday that Gary O’Neil’s side had rejected City’s opening £47million offer for the Portuguese star. Kevin De Bruyne’s serious injury, coupled with the departure of Ilkay Gundogan to Barcelona this summer, has left the Treble winners in need of another option in the middle of the park. And Wolves’ Nunes – a standout performer during their recent defeat at Manchester United – has emerged as a target. Pep Guardiola lavished the Portugal international…
Once considered Lionel Messi’s heir at Camp Nou, Ansu has struggled to live up to that billing and has failed to make an impression in Xavi’s first XI during the opening two rounds of matches this season. He has been overlooked for young sensation Lamine Yamal, who has performed to such a high level he is poised to receive a call up for the Spain national team’s matches in September. Ferran Torres is also playing well, with those close to the club indicating that the coaches are very happy with his physical development. Ansu is, therefore, seen as surplus to…
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had said the defender was in his plans but he is now expected to move on. WHAT HAPPENED? According to The Athletic, Real Sociedad are on the verge of finalising an agreement with Arsenal to secure Kieran Tierney’s services for a season-long loan. The deal does not include an option to buy but involves the La Liga outfit covering the Scotland international’s full wages and paying a loan fee to the Gunners. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Although the contract remains to be signed, Tierney could travel to Spain and undergo a medical over the weekend if the final…
According to a report from the German publication BILD, Liverpool will have to shell out a premium in order to sign the 21-year-old central defender this summer.

Hincapie is highly rated in the Bundesliga and he is one of the best young players in the league right now. The 21-year-old is immensely talented and he has the potential to develop into a key player for Liverpool in the coming season. Hincapie can…
In Hungary, they call Dominik Szoboszlai ‘the new Puskas’. In Germany his playing style is compared to Portuguese legend Rui Costa. To his former coach, Jesse Marsch, another superstar springs to mind when assessing Liverpool’s new signing. “He is the modern-day David Beckham,” says Marsch amid a prolonged, enthusiastic summary of his talent. “When the ball is on his right The Beckham comparison extends further than on-field, Szoboszlai’s photogenic image ensuring in his homeland every move and word is subject to forensic scrutiny. That will amplify having joined one of the world’s biggest and most written about clubs. Szoboszlai’s first two…
Liverpool offloaded senior midfielders like Milner, Ox, Keita, Henderson and Fabinho and have replaced them with Mac Allister, Szobozlai and Endo to reinforce things in the center of the park this summer. The Reds still need to strengthen the first team but it seems, for now, they are focusing on improving the youth squad. The Merseysiders have already completed the signings of two 16-year-old starlets in the form of Trey Nyoni (midfielder) from Leicester and Amara Nallo (defender), from West Ham United. If reports in the media are anything to go by then Liverpool have now submitted an offer to sign 15-year-old playmaker, Samuel…
The time is ticking for Liverpool in the transfer window. With just seven days left, Liverpool is inching closer to being in the same situation as on deadline day this time last year, when the Reds scrambled to bring in Arthur Melo on loan. This time though, Liverpool cannot afford to make the same mistake, and the Reds don’t have to do so. There’s a sensible path to tread in the final week. Khéphren Thuram is a player who has been on the club’s radar all summer, and he is still available and on the market with Nice seemingly open…

Manchester United have spread their summer transfer activity across the pitch, but with just over a week to go, the Premier League club have not yet bolstered the central defence despite consistent speculation. Andre Onana has replaced David De Gea in goal, Mason Mount has been brought in to add depth and dynamism to the midfield, while Rasmus Hojlund has been signed as the new centre-forward. While focus appears to be on signing pass master Sofyan Amrabat, Erik ten Hag’s side are also monitoring the situation of OGC Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo, and a formal offer may be forthcoming. What’s the…
West Ham’s Michail Antonio admits he couldn’t believe how fast Chelsea star Raheem Sterling was last Sunday in the Premier League. West Ham took all three points last weekend with a 3-1 home win against Chelsea, but there were still some positives for the visitors at the London Stadium. Raheem Sterling, 28, was certainly a massive bright spark for the Blues with his individual efforts. The English attacker looked so threatening to the Hammers whenever he was on the ball, showing some explosive pace and close dribbling to ask questions in the final third. It was certainly the kind of…
