When does the window open in Europe? | QUIZ: Which club should you join?
Brooks on the books for United
AFC Bournemouth starlet David Brooks could be snapped up by Manchester United this summer, having spent just one season impressing on the south coast, The Sun reports.
A relative unknown signed from Sheffield United ahead of the 2018-19 season, Brooks emerged as one of the Premier League’s most exciting young players, scoring eight goals in 42 appearances in all competitions, and earning himself regular call-ups to the Wales national team.
Now, Manchester United are reportedly willing to part with £50 million to sign the 21-year-old, who was a fan of the Red Devils as a boy. The move would be another chapter in Brooks’ rapid rise to the top.
Lukaku one step closer to Inter
Romelu Lukaku‘s Manchester United exit is looking more likely, after the Belgian agreed a £180,000-per-week deal to join Inter Milan, according to The Sun.
Lukaku will reportedly be allowed to leave the club for £75 million, and all that’s left to do is for the two clubs to settle on the fee.
That may not happen in the immediate future though, as Inter are still hopeful of offloading Mauro Icardi before bringing Lukaku in. That chain of events is expected to start with Antoine Griezmann heading to Barcelona and being replaced by Paulo Dybala at Atletico Madrid, allowing Icardi to move to Juventus.
Arsenal target plays hard to get
Arsenal may have found a replacement for the departing Aaron Ramsey by way of Dominik Szoboszlai, according to Football.London.
A dynamic midfielder for RB Salzburg, Szoboszlai has been identified as a target for the Gunners, who will reportedly have to compete with the likes of Juventus, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Lazio for his signature.
Despite the speculation, Szoboszlai’s agent, Matyas Esterhazy, insisted the player remains fully focused on playing for Salzburg, but the Austrian club would consider bids in the region of £15 million for him.
Ramsey will leave Arsenal for Juventus on July 1 upon the expiration of his contract at the club.
Ndombele nearing North London
Tottenham Hotspur are edging closer to completing the signing of Tanguy Ndombele, Football.London reports.
Speculation has surrounded the Frenchman’s future for weeks, but now the prospect of him becoming a Spurs player is looking more likely after Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy met with Lyon.
Ndombele is at the top of Mauricio Pochettino’s transfer shortlist, and Spurs are expected to break the bank with a record deal for the 22-year-old.
Earlier this week, Ndombele said: “Tottenham are a big club, they finished in four place in their league, they were Champions League finalists — which player would not be interested in a big club?”
Tap-ins
– A homecoming could be on the cards for Neymar, as Spanish outlet Sport reported that the Brazilian is looking to buy his old house back in Barcelona. Luis Suarez had his say: “Neymar? Who wouldn’t enjoy playing with a player like him.”
– Tom Heaton has rejected a new contract at Burnley, spiking interest in a move to AFC Bournemouth, The Sun reports. Inconsistent performances from both Asmir Begovic and Artur Boruc have meant the Cherries struggled to find a regular number one shot-stopper last season, and it’s thought that Eddie Howe may deem Heaton to be that man. Aston Villa are also interested.
