      Man Utd told to stump up £10m for Sam Johnstone transfer as Tottenham and West Ham also eye West Brom keeper

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED transfer target Sam Johnstone has been priced at £10million by his current club West Brom, according to reports.The 28-year-old came through the academy at Old Trafford and had seven years there as a senior member of the team but never played a game as much of his time was spent out on loan.

      He eventually departed Man Utd on a permanent basis in 2018 as he joined West Brom in the Championship for £5m.
      Having now played 118 times for the Baggies, helping them return to the Premier League and earning himself an England call-up, Man Utd reportedly want to re-sign him in the summer.
      But according to the Evening Standard, they will have to fork out twice the amount they sold him for if they are to secure his signature.
      And if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are not willing to stump up the money, Tottenham and West Ham are also said to be monitoring the England shot-stopper.
      Both Spurs and the Hammers have ageing first choice keepers in Hugo Lloris, 34, and Lukasz Fabianski, 36.
      When asked recently about Johnstone’s future at West Brom, manager Sam Allardyce insisted the club are hoping they will be able to keep hold of him despite the fact that he is entering the final year of his contract.
      “We can only discuss that when we have secured our position as a Premier League club,” he said.
      “That would mean discussion from the hierarchy at the club and look at what they can do with Sam’s contract and try to persuade him to stay.

      “As usual, business is business. Whatever happens can only be decided then, but I think the club would do their very best to keep him.”
      West Brom look set to be relegated from the Premier League as they sit in 19th place with just seven games left.
      Allardyce’s side are nine points adrift of safety ahead of their trip to Leicester on Thursday night.

      Tottenham interested in transfer of £22million-rated Barcelona defender Emerson but face competition from PSG and Inter

      by

      TOTTENHAM are interested in signing Barcelona defender Emerson, according to reports.The 22-year-old Brazilian is currently on loan at LaLiga side Real Betis, where he has played 30 times this season.

      And according to Mundo Deportivo, his impressive displays at right-back have also attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan.
      The Brazilian has been valued by Barcelona at around £22million, so the youngster will not come cheap if Spurs are to secure his services.
      Emerson joined Barca from Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro in 2019 but is yet to receive his debut for the Catalan giants.
      Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham side have been linked with a number of defenders they may look to sign this summer.
      Among those is Southampton centre-back Jannick Vestergaard, who could join his former teammate Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in North London.
      The 28-year-old is about to enter the final year of his contract at St Mary’s, so Saints may well be looking to cash in on him while they still can.
      Another defender Spurs are said to be looking at is Real Madrid centre-half Eder Militao.
      The Los Blancos youngster, 23, has featured 11 times for Zinedine Zidane’s side this season.

      And while the Lilywhites failed in their pursuit of him in the January window, they may well resume their interest when the window re-opens.
      Spurs have struggled to establish a consistent partnership in central defence this season, with Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez, Eric Dier and Joe Rodon all featuring at various points.
      Mourinho’s side have come under fire for their leaky back line, which has conceded 37 goals in 32 games and seen them drop from the top of the Premier League table down to seventh.

      But Sky Germany now believe the Lilywhites are the frontrunners among the English sides to land Boateng at the end of the season.
      Bayern recently confirmed they will not be renewing his deal after a trophy-laden decade with the Bundesliga giants.
      Outside of the Premier League, he is also being linked with a transfer to Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona.
      But Boateng knows what it is like to play in the Premier League as he spent the 2010-11 season with Manchester City.
      Under boss Roberto Mancini he featured 24 times for the Sky Blues during his one campaign with the club.
      He also played three times on the way to Man City’s FA Cup triumph, so he has already won silverware in England.
      Since joining Bayern ten seasons ago Boateng has won the German title in all but one season.
      He has also won two Champions League trophies in 2013 and 2020.

      At international level the defender also carries a great deal of pedigree having won the World Cup with Germany in 2014.
      He has played 76 times for his country but not featured since 2018 when national team coach Joachim Low decided to leave himself, Thomas Muller and Mats Hummels permanently out of future squads.
      Meanwhile, Spurs will be looking to bolster their defence as they have looked leaky throughout the 2020-21 campaign, conceding 35 goals in 31 Premier League games.

      Man Utd led by Leicester in Boubakary Soumare transfer race as Tottenham also keep tabs on 22-year-old Lille midfielder

      by

      LEICESTER are reportedly ‘confident’ of beating Manchester United and Tottenham to the signature of Boubakary Soumare.The Frenchman, 22, has been a key part of Lille’s title bid with the Ligue 1 leaders three points clear of Paris Saint-Germain.

      Having made a name for himself at Stade Pierre-Mauroy after leaving PSG as a youngster, he has aroused the interest of several teams.
      Newcastle failed with a £35million bid for Soumare in the January of last year.
      And Premier League outfit Leicester are the latest to make their interest known with just over a year left on his contract.
      According to the Star, the Foxes are hunting down a deal worth around £30m.
      Bolstering the side for Champions League football will be a priority for Brendan Rodgers’ side, if they qualify for the competition.
      Sunday’s 3-2 defeat to West Ham left the team on the brink of losing their top-four spot, with similarities to last season’s collapse.

      Soumare, who has over 100 appearances for Lille and 12 for France Under-21s, is also said to be catching the eye of United and Spurs.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be preparing for a busy summer window with a new centre-back and striker hotly tipped to be arriving.
      While Jose Mourinho have been linked with a surprise move for Marouane Fellaini amid their hunt for a midfielder.
      Soumare rejected a move out of Lille in January and boss Christophe Galtier praised how the player has dealt with speculation over his future.

      The 54-year-old said in February: “At every transfer window, we talk about him.
      “I know that he was in demand this winter, but he was very clear with the president, he wants to continue with us.
      “The competition, the transfer window, the situation has not always been easy for him, but I think he has greater clarity in his mind.”

      Tottenham ‘leading Sam Johnstone transfer fight with Leeds and West Ham as Jose Mourinho eyes West Brom keeper’

      by

      TOTTENHAM lead the transfer fight for Sam Johnstone ahead of Leeds and West Ham, according to reports. The West Brom goalkeeper, 28, has been in fine form for the Baggies this term.

      And ESPN state Jose Mourinho is lining up a bid to provide competition for Hugo Lloris.
      The Englishman’s contract at The Hawthorns expires next year and the report adds he would be available for around £10million due to the Baggies’ probable relegation.
      That has reportedly sparked interest from West Ham and Leeds who may also make an attempt at a cut-price fee.
      Johnstone may have conceded the most goals in the Premier League this season but boasts an impressive record of five clean sheets and a division-high 120 saves despite his team’s struggles – earning him a maiden senior Three Lions call up for the March internationals.
      Lloris, however, has been a constant between the sticks for Spurs, making 85 stops and ten clean sheets.
      The Tottenham man enjoys a better save rate at 72 per cent to Johnstone’s 67 per cent.
      The French World Cup winner is also being targeted for a transfer by former boss Mauricio Pochettino at Paris Saint-Germain.
      Johnstone came through the academy at Manchester United but headed out on seven EFL loans.

      He signed for West Brom for £6.5m in 2018 – with the Red Devils in line for a sell-on fee should the West Midlanders let him go this summer.
      In nearly three seasons, the stopper has missed just one league game for the club, keeping 14 clean sheets in the promotion-winning 2019-20 campaign.
      And it is thought he would make stronger, cheaper competition for Lloris than current No2 Joe Hart.
      The 33-year-old moved to Spurs last summer on a two-year deal worth more than £52,000 per week but is an unused sub in every Premier League game this term.
      As revealed by SunSport, Tottenham are also considering swoops for Johnstone’s Three Lions team-mates Dean Henderson and Nick Pope.

      Tottenham flop Gedson Fernandes wanted by Marseille in summer transfer from Benfica to replace Olivier Ntcham

      by

      TOTTENHAM flop Gedson Fernandes has reportedly been chosen by Marseille as a replacement for Oliver Ntcham. Celtic star Ntcham has been on loan at the French side since January but is set to return to Scotland this summer after a controversial stint which saw ex-boss Andre Villas Boas reveal he didn’t want the player.

      And Fotomac reports Benfica’s Fernandes, currently on loan at Galatasary, is the target identified to replace him in Jorge Sampaoli’s squad.
      The storm surrounding Ntcham’s arrival saw ex-Spurs and Chelsea manager Villas-Boas resign in a press conference before he was then sacked by the club following the bust-up with the board who sanctioned the move without his blessing.
      But Ntcham has fared little better under former Argentina boss Sampaoli, making just one appearance.
      French reports suggest the ace will head back to the Hoops when his temporary move comes to an end at the close of the season.
      And the report states Marseille are ‘unhappy’ with him and are already lining up Fernandes as a replacement.
      Initial meetings are understood to have taken place with parent club Benfica who are thought to be open to selling the midfielder.
      Fernandes has scored one goal in nine games in all competitions for the Turkish giants since arriving at the end of the January transfer window.
      And it is not though to have been enough to convince Galatasaray it is worth signing him on a more permanent basis.

      Spurs cancelled Fernandes’ 18-month loan deal early at the beginning of the year after he failed to live up to the hype with no goal involvements in 14 appearances.
      Tottenham had an option to buy the star last summer for £42million but turned down the move with Fernandes never starting a Premier League game during his time in North London.
      Benfica immediately shipped him out on loan again to Turkey but after contracting Covid-19, Fernandes had to fly out in an ambulance jet to get the deal done in time.

      Barcelona could launch Harry Kane transfer bid if Dortmund refuse to lower top target Erling Haaland’s £154m price tag

      BARCELONA could turn to Harry Kane in their hunt for a new striker if Erling Haaland does not sign, according to reports in Spain.Borussia Dortmund star Haaland has caught the eye of several clubs as his representatives hold talks with prospective bidders.

      Agent Mino Raiola and father Alf-Inge Haaland have flown in for talks with both Real Madrid and Barcelona.
      But Haaland’s club will seek a fee topping £150million if they are to sell him this summer, with the 20-year-old’s £68m release clause activating next year.
      That could turn Barcelona to a Plan B, according to Spanish outlet Sport, who name Kane and Lautaro Martinez as such options.
      SunSport revealed last week that Tottenham will refuse to sell their star striker to a Premier League rival.
      A move abroad is considered slightly more palatable, although the fee of £175m would have to be negotiated down.
      These latest reports suggest that Barcelona will have to be inventive with player-plus-cash deals if they are to sign a star name this summer.

      Targets such as Georginio Wijnaldum, Memphis Depay, Sergio Aguero and Eric Garcia will all soon be available as free agents.
      In contrast, Inter Milan star Martinez, like Kane, could command a nine-figure fee.
      Previously thought to be a major target for the LaLiga giants, the Argentine is set to sign a new contract that would bolster his existing £98 buyout fee.
      Martinez, 23, is the lowest-scoring of the three stars on Barcelona’s radar, although Inter are looking good to lift the Serie A title.
      His 16-goal tally sits behind Kane (29) and Haaland (33).

      The manager stated recently that speculation over the 27-year-old’s future is of no interest to him.
      Mourinho, 58, said: “He is such a professional, committed with the team, performing well.
      “I’ve nothing to speak with him about. He has three years of his contract remaining.
      “Unless he wants to speak with me about it… and until now he never approached me in relation to anything.”
