      Premier League is back… and with it comes new wave of top-tier Wags

      by

      THE Premier League is back – and with it comes a new wave of Wags.Already, almost HALF A BILLION POUNDS has gone on new players. And as there are still two weeks to go until the transfer window closes, that figure will continue to rise.

      Man City’s signing of Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for £100million saw him become the most expensive Premier League player ever.
      And behind many big signings there is a very glamorous woman with the latest Hermes handbag. Today, former Wag Suzi Walker, 50, the ex-wife of England and Tottenham goalkeeper Ian, runs the rule over ladies who are about to take the Premier League by storm.
      She said: “Being a Wag is a big job. Not only are you supporting your player but your fortunes can be interlinked with their career. For example, if they are on the bench for a long stint or out of the team, you might get left out of lunches with other Wags or not invited to parties.
      “When I was in that world, I knew Victoria Beckham, Cheryl, Coleen Rooney and Carly Cole. But there is extra pressure today with social media. There might be a lot of money in football but you are constantly keeping up with the other players and their partners.
      “My advice would be to be yourself and be as nice as you can to others. I hope the new Wags are given help to adjust and get to know people. Having said that, I’m quite happy to be away from it now in all honesty.”
      We introduce the new Wags whose other halves have arrived in the Premier League this season and those who are top targets by our big clubs. Suzi gives her opinion and marks them out of ten.

      Dad stunned by hilarious blunder after he buys Harry Kane England shirt on eBay

      by

      A POLITE footie dad who bought an England shirt on eBay was stunned when it arrived with “Kane Please 9” printed on the back.Richard Dexter wanted the kit to feature Three Lions skipper Harry Kane’s name and number.

      But his good manners proved an own goal as dimwit staff literally took him at his word.
      He unwrapped the away jersey for nine-year-old daughter Lily to find his “please” also included on the back.
      Richard, 37, said: “This was meant to soften the blow of losing the Euros final to Italy on penalties.
      “Lily was as gutted as us all. But Harry Kane was her favourite England player and I thought this would lift her spirits.
      “I went online and bought the shirt, before asking for Kane’s name on the back with the number 9. They say manners cost you nothing but in this case they have cost me £30.”

      Lily was initially too embarrassed to wear the shirt but now sees the funny side.
      Richard, of Hull, who works for a sports education trust, posted a snap of the blunder online.
      He said: “It’s good that we have been able to make people smile and we’ll definitely keep the shirt as a memento rather than returning it for a refund.”

      Other Twitter users shared their shirt printing blunders.
      Mark Worrall asked for “no name and just 7” but it came with “Just” on the back.
      And Guy Clubb said his shirt arrived with “N/A” after he declined the free printing.

      Southampton eye shock loan transfer for Liverpool Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – ten years after selling him as a teenager

      by

      SOUTHAMPTON have launched an ambitious bid to re-sign Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – 10 years after selling him as a teenager.Saints are keen to hand England international Oxlade-Chamberlain, 27, the chance to relaunch his career by taking him back on loan.

      The Portsmouth-born academy graduate joined Saints aged seven and scored nine goals in 36 league appearances before a £15million move to Arsenal in 2011.
      The south coast side believe Liverpool are open to offers for Oxlade-Chamberlain after playing only 13 Premier League games last season.
      PREMIER WIN! Get crazy 20/1 odds on Salah scoring ONE goal in August
      Oxlade-Chamberlain’s Liverpool team-mate Takumi Minamino spent the second half of last season on loan at St Mary’s and Saints have made enquiries about his availability.
      Ox joined the Reds in a £35m deal from Arsenal in 2017 but injuries have prevented him from ever fully establishing himself in Jurgen Klopp’s first XI.
      The German converted the former Three Lions man into a central midfielder during his best spell at Anfield and it remains to be seen where Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl sees the natural winger playing.
      Hasenhuttl is desperate for attacking reinforcements after Danny Ings’ £25m move to Aston Villa.
      Saints are close to agreeing a deal with Chelsea to sign highly-rated striker Armando Broja, 19, on a season’s loan, and are still keen on Blackburn front-man Adam Armstrong.
      But they have abandoned a move for former Crystal Palace flop Alexander Sorloth.
      And the South Coast side are bracing themselves for a swoop from Leicester for defender Jannik Vestergaard.

      The Foxes are in dire need of reinforcements at the back after Wesley Fofana was ruled out until next year with a broken leg.
      Manager Brendan Rodgers is a long-time admirer of giant Denmark international Vestergaard having tried to sign him in each of the last two transfer windows.
      Vestergaard, 29 earlier this month, is in the final year of his contract and Saints could be tempted to cash in if Leicester are willing to pay £15m.

      Arsenal fans reckon new signing Albert Lokonga is ‘better than Paul Pogba’ after impressive showing against Tottenham

      by

      Lokonga made his debut on Wednesday during a friendly match with Watford at London Colney.
      But his first real test came in the friendly clash with bitter rivals Spurs.
      Although Arsenal fell to a 1-0 defeat, the midfielder passed his test with flying colours.

      And fans took to social media to hail Lokonga, with some Gooners even comparing him to Manchester United’s World Cup winner Pogba.
      One tweeted: “Lokonga seems to be absolute quality, love how he plays small passes in the box but hard to read so they actually work out extremely well.”
      Another said: “Lokonga could be the difference between us having a decent season or a disastrous one.”
      A third added: “Don’t want to sound dramatic. But Lokonga is levels above Pogba.”
      Lokonga is one of three players Arsenal have signed so far this summer alongside defenders Ben White and Nuno Tavares.
      The Gunners have still faced doubts for their lack of attacking reinforcements and Mikel Arteta was quizzed about whether the club will sign anyone else before the start of the new season.
      He said: “What we have is what we have to maximise and worrying about things we don’t have at the moment, there’s no point.

      “My energy is all on the players we have, to make them better and make them a bigger threat and win matches.”
      Arteta also hinted that Newcastle are closing in on a £22million deal for midfielder Joe Willock.
      The England Under-21 international midfielder was missing from the game against Spurs on Sunday despite training with the squad on Saturday.
