      Despite his youth, the qualities he is showing have seen interest in him emerge from Manchester United and Tottenham.
      The Daily Mail report the two sides want the 18-year-old striker in the summer.

      With Kane’s potential departure from the north London side, Spurs see Ferguson as an heir apparent to England’s record goalscorer.
      However, the efforts of both teams could be thwarted with Brighton hoping to tie Ferguson down to a new long-term deal by the end of the month.
      The Seagulls beat interest from United, Chelsea and Liverpool to land the Irishman from Bohemians, with him penning his first pro contract in October.
      Man Utd may find themselves in prime position to land Ferguson when he makes his next move, with the striker admitting he grew up as a Red Devils fan and idolised Wayne Rooney.

      AS report that another meeting is scheduled for the coming weeks with Chelsea keen to push forward with the deal.
      Gavi only recently signed a new contract at the Nou Camp, keeping him at the club until 2026.
      However, the Catalan giants are unable to register him as a first-team player due to financial problems.
      If the issue is not resolved then the midfielder could leave on a free transfer at the end of the season as his contract will be void.

      Barcelona supposedly remain relaxed about the situation and Gavi does not want to leave the club.
      Yet, the player is reportedly frustrated over the way the matter has been handled.
      Chelsea could offer much more than Barca would be able to and could hand Gavi a huge signing-on fee.
      If the West Londoners were to bring in ex-Spain boss Luis Enrique as manager for next season, this could further sweeten the deal.

      Barcelona have been effectively placed under a transfer ban by LaLiga until they sort their finances out.
      Ten players could reportedly leave the league leaders as they need to raise £178million.

      The likes of Ansu Fati, Frenkie de Jong, Raphinha and Ousmane Dembele could all depart.
      Gavi is a wonderkid, who has played 87 times for the club and been capped by Spain on 19 occasions.

      by

      Neves has been eyeing a move away for the past 18 months with Champions League football a priority, rejecting several extension offers so far.
      However, SunSport understands Wolves are preparing a last-gasp attempt to stop the 26-year-old leaving for a cut-price fee.
      With European interest in Neves cooling as of late, the player may be resigned to finally signing.
      But his wage demands exceeding £100k-a-week will be the main sticking point.

      Neves is also prepared to wait until the club can guarantee top flight safety – with Wolves currently four points off the drop with eight games remaining.
      Arsenal were previously monitoring the situation, while Manchester United have come close to nabbing the £40m-rated playmaker on two separate occasions.
      United boss Erik ten Hag was a big fan upon his arrival at Old Trafford last summer, and could still make a move for the player should other targets fall flat.
      Neves was reportedly seeking a move under former coach Bruno Lage, who managed to keep hold of the player last summer before getting the sack in October.

      However, Neves has endured a semi-revival under new boss Julen Lopetegui, and has so far scored five goals in 28 appearances in the Premier League this campaign.
      Neves has started every Prem game he has been available for since the end of the World Cup back in December.
      Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid have also been keeping tabs on Neves. More

      by

      CRYSTAL PALACE are preparing to spend big in the summer to reboot their long-term plan after sacking Patrick Vieira.The Eagles axed Vieira last month in their bid to beat the drop and turned back to his predecessor, Roy Hodgson.

      Vieira had replaced Hodgson in 2021 as they looked to move to the new level, investing in a number of younger more attacking players.
      After a successful first season, including an FA Cup semi-final, Vieira failed to kick on in South London and Palace are preparing another push this summer.
      There have been tensions in the boardroom over the level of spending in recent windows, with some feeling more should have been done to help Vieira in January.
      However, there is a feeling everyone is close to being on the same page ahead of the summer.

      And while there is also a new manager to appoint, with Hodgson currently in the gig until the end of the season, a list of targets are being drawn up.
      The Eagles are keen to bring in new faces along the entire back four, to cover and compete with their existing options.
      Academy product Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who joined Manchester United in 2019, is a target while Palace are braced for interest in England international Marc Guehi.
      Sporting director Dougie Freedman also wants to add more options in midfield, with a No8 high on their list, as the quest to replace last season’s player of the year, Conor Gallagher, continues.

      The Chelsea man, who shone on loan at Selhurst Park last season, is likely to be available this summer with the Blues in need of a clearout, but Palace will face huge competition.
      With Wilfried Zaha’s future still up in the air and his contract running out in the summer, a winger will also be needed before the new campaign, while any manager will also want a striker added.
      Hodgson has managed to get Palace firing once again but the lack of a clinical striker hurt Vieira as well as the current boss during his first spell at the club.
