SPURS LINE UP BOLD BID FOR BARCA YOUNG GUN
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is hoping to squeeze in one more attacking edition before the transfer window slams shut.
Nottingham Forest winger Brennan Johnson has been heavily linked, but now a fresh name has entered the mix.
Sky Sports reports Tottenham are lining up a move for Barcelona star Ansu Fati.
Fati made his Barcelona debut at just 16 years and 298 days in 2019 and has gone on to make 80 appearances in all competitions since.
The Spanish giants reportedly value Fati at £30 million ($AUD58 million), although it remains to be seen if Tottenham are hoping to sign the youngster on loan or on a permanent deal.
LIVERPOOL’S MIDFIELD REVAMP SET TO GAIN A NEW FACE?
Liverpool’s midfield revolution could welcome yet another member.
According to The Telegraph, Jurgen Klopp’s side are hoping to snap up Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch, although no bid has been lodged as of yet.
The report claims the Dutch international is also keen on the move as he looks to receive some much-needed game time, with Bayern hoping to net a transfer fee of £35 million.
Liverpool’s midfield has undergone a major revamp this summer, with Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, James Milner, Fabinho and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all departing either for a transfer fee or having been released.
Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo have all arrived at Anfield and Klopp sees Gravenberch as the final piece of his midfield puzzle.
CHELSEA’S SPENDING SHOWS NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN
It’s been two massive transfer windows for Chelsea in terms of expenditure, but it seems they are not done yet.
ESPN reports the Blues have agreed a £45 million fee with Manchester City to sign talented youngster Cole Palmer.
The England under-21 international has risen through the ranks at the club’s academy and scored City’s equaliser in the latest edition of the UEFA Super Cup.
He made several appearances off the bench last season and looked destined to play a larger role in this campaign, but City evidently view the fee as too good to turn down and helps with their FFP.
Should the deal go through, Palmer would become Chelsea’s 12th signing of the summer.
