      United are keen on Bees striker Toney and could launch a bid before the end of the window, but they may not be the only ones.
      According to the Mirror, Chelsea and Everton also see the 26-year-old as the answer to their respective forward woes.
      The Blues are after a front man after flogging Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner – with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang their No1 choice.
      Personal terms have been agreed with the former Arsenal ace, but Chelsea are yet to settle upon a fee with Barcelona.

      The poverty-pleading Catalan side want £21million for Aubameyang, a fee the Blues don’t want to pay.
      Chelsea have offered £15m plus Marcos Alonso and could move on to Toney if Barca don’t accept.

      Alternatively, boss Thomas Tuchel could still demand TWO strikers be brought in as he looks for extra firepower.
      As for Everton, Frank Lampard’s side have been hit by yet another injury to Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

      In the England international’s absence, Anthony Gordon and Salomon Rondon have been tried up front, with neither able to inspire the Toffees to a first win of the season.
      Man United, meanwhile, are chasing moves for Eredivisie wingers Antony and Cody Gakpo.
      But should Cristiano Ronaldo leave, they could accelerate efforts to try and sign Toney.
      The Brentford ace has started the season on fire, scoring twice and providing two assists in three appearances. More

      by

      EVERTON have an eye on flying Dutch winger Cody Gakpo in the hope he comes on the market.Boss Frank Lampard sent spy Steve Davis to watch Gakpo, 23, dazzle for PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League qualifier last week when they drew 2-2 with Rangers.

      PSV may sell Gakpo if they are beaten by the Scottish giants in Wednesday’s return leg and miss out on the group stage money.
      The Dutch international has been linked with Manchester United.
      But Everton may be a more realistic destination for the player who has a lot of similarities to ex-Toffee Richarlison.
      He has made 141 appearances for the Eredivisie outfit, scoring 45 goals.

      And he has also contributed an impressive 37 assists during his five seasons in the first team.

      The Toffees have also been linked with a number of other targets as clubs enter the final two weeks of the summer window.
      Former United youngster Adnan Januzai, Coventry City striker Viktor Gyokeres and Brighton forward Neal Maupay have all been reported as possible acquisitions. More

      Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag shocked by Donny van de Beek’s broken confidence but will NOT let him seal Ajax loan transfer

      by

      AJAX have been told there is no chance of taking Donny van de Beek back to Holland – because Erik ten Hag is convinced he can still play a key role at Manchester United.Van de Beek’s former club had hoped a lack of game time may see United let him return to them on loan for the season.

      But Ten Hag, the man who sold him to United two years ago, is confident the midfielder can force his way into the starting line-up.
      The Old Trafford manager was shocked at how far Van de Beek’s confidence has dropped since he was his gaffer in Amsterdam.
      Now Ten Hag has held talks with the 25-year-old to find out why he hasn’t shown the form which saw United pay £35million for him in 2020.
      And he has told Van de Beek there is no reason why he cannot make a big impression in Manchester.

      United’s coaching staff are happy with his efforts in training.
      But Ten Hag is keen for him to take the risks in his game that earned a move to England in the first place.
      Ajax cannot afford van de Beek’s wages of around £100,000 a week.
      The Dutch champions hoped United would subsidise any deal if a spell back at the club where he established his reputation sparked a return to his best.

      But although it could happen in January if he remains a bit-part figure, there is no chance in this window, with ten Hag also wary of being left with a lack of numbers.
      Despite arriving with a tag as one of Europe’s hottest prospects, Van de Beek has started just four league games for United and spent the second half of last season on loan at Everton.
      Yet the Reds’ woeful start to the campaign, leaving them without a point from the first two fixtures, could open the door to a bigger role in Monday’s clash with Liverpool. More

      But if they cannot secure the Ivory Coast international then Diallo is thought to be next on their list of targets.
      According to The Mail, Nice are one of a number of clubs chasing the Man Utd youngster.
      Championship sides Blackpool and Sunderland are also interested in the 20-year-old forward.
      And he is not in Erik ten Hag’s plans at Old Trafford, so the wise decision may well be to take up another loan move.
