Arsenal Line Up Shock Swoop For £13m Everton Star – reports

November 27, 2014 Spoughts 1 Comment

Arsenal are set to make a stunning move for Everton star James McCarthy in January, according to the Daily Mirror.

The injury suffered by Jack Wilshere this week means that Arsene Wenger has reassessed his transfer targets going into the January transfer window, and they have somewhat moved away from the idea of capturing Real Madrid’s Sami Khedira.

The club have, however, been interested in the long term in McCarthy, and were even interested in purchasing him before he made his £13 million switch to Everton from Wigan.

This could mean that they will finally make a move for him in January, bringing in a long term target.

Everton would definitely not be keen to see McCarthy leave either, even if the player would be interested in making the move from Merseyside to London.

As a result, the Goodison Park club are likely to slap on a significantly higher price tag than the amount they paid for the 24 year old.

Man Utd Face PL Rival Challenge In Chase For £18m Wing Wizard – reports

Everton and Newcastle United have both entered the race for Netherlands winger Memphis Depay, putting them in direct competition with Manchester United, as reported by the Daily Star.

The Premier League pair have reportedly entered into the war along with north London side Tottenham Hotspur, with all four clubs hoping to sign the 20 year old wing wizard.

Depay is highly rated, but became known on a wider level after his excellent displays at the World Cup for the Netherlands.

The PSV Eindhoven star is expected to fetch an incredible £18 million, with a series of English suitors all chasing his signature.

His current manager, Phillip Cocu, has even admitted that there will inevitably be a sale of Depay.

Despite only being young, Depay has bagged 36 goals in only 97 appearances for the Dutch giants since debuting for the side in 2011.

Newcastle have been in exceptional form recently, rising to fifth in the Premier League.

Revealed: £8m Man Utd And Chelsea Target Available In January – reports

November 19, 2014 Spoughts Leave a comment

Galatasaray wonderkid Bruma has been made available in January, with his agent revealing that offers have been made for the £8 million rated star, as reported by the Daily Express.

This means that both Chelsea and Manchester United have been put on red alert heading into the January transfer window.

The 20 year old is considered to be one of the most exciting talents in European football but has lost his place in the side since former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini was replaced by his Italian compatriot Cesare Prandelli.

Man Utd and Chelsea are not the only Premier League sides thought to be tracking him, with Everton and Sunderland also monitoring the wonderkid.

Reports in Turkey are now suggesting that Bruma is available to sign in January, with Galatasaray looking to recoup the money that they spent on him a year ago.

This, in part, might be as a result of supposed financial trouble going on at the Turkish side.

His agent has revealed offers are taking place.

He said: “We have received an offer from Genoa and a couple more sides in Europe. Galatasaray have not accepted any of these bids.

“If a club wants to sign Bruma they will have to pay the money up front, not in instalments.”
