      Giroud is scheduled to arrive in Milan shortly to complete his medical
      The French striker was limited to just eight Premier League starts in the 2020-21 campaign, despite Timo Werner’s struggles in front of goal.
      He had been set to depart West London on a free transfer, only for the Blues to trigger a one-year contract extension in April to avoid losing him for nothing.
      And according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the 2018 World Cup winner is close to joining Milan for £850,000.
      They state that he will earn around £50,000-a-week at the San Siro, with the Rossoneri having the option to keep him at the club until 2024.
      It has also been stated that Giroud is due to shortly arrive in Milan ahead of his proposed medical on Friday.
      And just like at Chelsea, the ex-Montpellier ace is expected to compete for a starting spot and is likely to alternate with Zlatan Ibrahimovic up top.
      Giroud has spent the previous nine years in England after joining Arsenal in 2012 after helping La Paillade win the Ligue 1 title.
      In total, the centre-forward appeared in the English top-flight on 255 occasions – chipping in with 90 goals and 28 assists.

      And he could be joined in Milan by Chelsea team-mate and compatriot Tiemoue Bakayoko.
      The 26-year-old, who has been shipped out on loan three times by the Blues, is set to return to Milan where he spent the 2018-19 campaign.
      Milan reportedly had an option to make Bakayoko’s loan permanent for a £35m fee two years ago but declined.

      According to The Athletic, the deal is believed to be around £10million with Patricio arriving in time for the start of pre-season.

      “By working together, we can all improve the chances of kids being reunited safely with loved ones.”
      With Patricio on the way to the Italian capital, Wolves are closing in on signing Olympiacos keeper Jose Sa for £6.8million this week.
      Sa, who managed to keep an impressive 15 clean sheets out of 29 games in Greece last season, will be one of Bruno Lage’s first signings.
      Lage was unveiled as Wolves’ new boss last month, replacing Nuno Espirito Santo – who left the club at the end of the season and has since joined Tottenham.

      New coach Massimiliano Allegri is not thought to be a huge fan of the Welshman amid his pursuit of Manuel Locatelli.
      The Sassuolo player, fresh off starring for Italy at Euro 2020, is nearing a move to Juventus for a reported fee of £25million plus a Bianconeri player.
      That could push Ramsey towards the exit door having scored just six goals in 65 matches for the club.
      According to Tuttosport, Juve are ready to consider offers but are yet to find a suitable buyer for the 30-year-old.
      Cutting the wage bill is said to be a key aspect of their summer business with Ramsey reportedly earning £400,000-a-week.
      However that figure is said to be closer to £135,000-a-week after bonuses by other outlets.

      Ramsey still has another two years left to run with the Serie A giants.
      Juventus could also look to cash in on Federico Chiesa following his star turn at the Euros.
      Bayern Munich are reportedly keen on the winger, who has a price tag of over £70m with neither club nor player expecting a sale.
      Centre-back Merih Demiral could be another on the move amid links with Manchester United, Everton and Arsenal.

      The shirt features a snakeskin pattern that fluctuates between different shades of blue.
      The Nike logo and club crest are in gold trim befitting their champion status.

      But their deal finally came to an end this year.
      No replacement has yet been announced.

      Takehiro Tomiyasu ‘wants to join Tottenham’ with talks ongoing for Japan star but Atalanta threatening to hijack deal

      by

      TOTTENHAM are reportedly leading the race to sign Bologna star Takehiro Tomiyasu.Spurs had a £15million bid for the defender rejected earlier this month but are still believed to be interested.
      Takehiro Tomiyasu has been targeted by Tottenham and Arsenal
      And Tomiyasu wants to join, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
      The transfer guru claims Tottenham are the only English club in talks to sign Tomiyasu, suggesting Arsenal are no longer chasing the Japan international.
      Romano says a final decision will be made soon but does report interest from Serie A side Atalanta.
      And unlike Spurs, the Italians would be able to offer Tomiyasu Champions League football next season – he would not have to move country either.
      Bologna are believed to want £17.2m for Tomiyasu, 22, so it is up to Daniel Levy to offer up the extra cash.
      And if he does sign Tottenham fans would have to wait a while to see Tomiyasu in action as he will represent Japan at the Olympics this summer.
      Nevertheless, supporters will likely be pleased to beat rivals Arsenal to an important signing.

      Spurs are yet to make a signing under Nuno Espirito Santo, who could want a new centre-back if he is to operate with a back five – as he did at Wolves.
      Tomiyasu also holds the advantage of being able to play at right-back, so could slot in well as a right-sided centre-back between Davinson Sanchez and Matt Doherty.
      Tomiyasu possesses good physical attributes with his speed and strength two of his main assets.

      Ante Coric, Davide Santon, Javier Pastore, and Federico Fazio have also reportedly been cast aside by former Spurs boss Mourinho.
      The Portuguese coach has wasted little time in stamping his authority at the Stadio Olimpico ahead of the new season.
      Roma telling excluded all of those names in a post on social media where they revealed the club’s pre-season squad on social media.
      It was Mourinho who originally signed Pedro for Chelsea back in 2015 mere months before the end of his second spell at the club.
      Yet the Spanish winger, 33, struggled for game time at Roma last term and is one of the names said to be on the chopping block.
      Pedro’s compatriot Pau Lopez and former Leicester City loanee Cengiz Under have already been moved on as part of Mourinho’s clearout.
      The Giallorossi have been linked with moves for a host of players this summer, including Premier League stars Granit Xhaka and Eric Bailly.
      However, Mourinho insisted he is yet to open discussions with any players in his first press conference as Roma boss.

      The 58-year-old said: “I have not spoken to anyone.
      “You can choose to believe whether that is true or not, but I have not spoken to anyone.
      “I speak with Tiago (Roma’s general manager), I speak with the ownership, I speak with different people within the club… but as far as players go, I have not spoken with any of them.”
