      Where are Tottenham’s ‘Magnificent Seven’ signed with Bale money in 2013, from Soldado and Paulinho?

      by

      IN 2013, Spurs were forced to blow up their squad following the world-record sale of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid.The Welshman had scored 26 goals in the previous campaign, sweeping the Premier League’s various individual awards ahead of the likes of Luis Suarez and Eden Hazard.

      But there was a problem – Tottenham missed out on Champions League qualification by a point.
      Daniel Levy was bullish that he could keep his star asset, but Real Madrid turned on their charm offensive and it soon became just a matter of when, not if.
      So Spurs got busy, signing seven new players for more than £100million – as the line went, they’d ‘sold Elvis, and signed The Beatles’.
      But while Bale was off winning Champions League titles with Madrid, Spurs’ new signings were producing contrasting performances.

Bale’s life in Madrid with luxury £6.5m home & golf on his doorstep
      So let’s take a look at what became of the ‘Magnificent Seven’.
      ROBERTO SOLDADO – £26m

      Spaniard Soldado was probably the most exciting of the acquisitions, when he arrived from Valencia for £26m, fresh from wowing at the Confederations Cup and banging in 24 goals in LaLiga.
      Despite no lack of trying, his time at White Hart Lane was a disaster, however, as he only managed seven goals in 52 Premier League appearances – with five of them coming from the penalty spot.
      Levy did manage to squeeze £10m out of Villarreal for his services in 2015, and he has since played for Fenerbahce and Granada.
      Now 37, he has linked up with Spanish top-flight Levante on a two-year deal and scored six goals last season in 20 games.
      PAULINHO – £17m

      Another that arrived off the back of a stellar Confederations Cup, Spurs fans thought they were getting ‘the Brazilian Frank Lampard’ when Paulinho arrived in N17.
      Initial performances were steady, with a late back-heeled winner at Cardiff prompting pandemonium among the travelling supporters.
      Things went downhill very quickly, however, with Paulinho being red carded in Andre Villas-Boas’ final game in charge, before becoming a nervous wreck barely capable of completing a five-yard pass by the end.
      He was offered a career lifeline by Chinese Super League giants Guangzhou Evergrande, where he became a big star – via a very strange, if not totally unsuccessful year at Barcelona.
      Paulinho, 33, linked up with Saudi side Al-Ahli but has since signed a deal with Corinthians.
      VLAD CHIRICHES – £8m

      Fans were excited at Chiriches’ arrival, as they thought they’d unearthed a hidden gem from Steaua Bucharest, with a penchant for playing the ball out from the back.
      And while he was very laid back, it often proved to be to the team’s detriment, as his casual style tended to gift opponents easy goals, while leaving fans’ hearts in their mouths.
      Like Soldado and Paulinho, Chiriches lasted two seasons at the Lane, before being shipped off to Napoli.
      The Romanian managed just 48 appearances across four seasons at San Paulo, before joining Sassuolo on loan two years ago – before making it permanent for just shy of £10m.
      NACER CHADLI – £7m

      One of the more successful acquisitions of that summer, Chadli became a popular figure at Spurs despite an underwhelming start.
      The Belgian joined from FC Twente, having scored against Tottenham home and away in the 2010-11 Champions League campaign.
      But it was not until his second season that he really began to shine, scoring 13 goals as Mauricio Pochettino began to transform the club’s fortunes.
      He left for West Brom in 2017, eventually joining Istanbul Basaksehir in 2020, via stints at Monaco and Anderlecht, where he still plays today.
      ETIENNE CAPOUE – £9m

      Neither wildly awful nor outstandingly memorable, Capoue is possibly the most forgettable player of the seven.
      With Sandro having regressed due to knee injuries, Capoue initially seemed to be the perfect foil for Mousa Dembele in his place.
      But the Frenchman fell out of favour despite steady performances, although was hung out to dry following a few awful displays as a makeshift centre-back.
      He lasted one season beyond Pochettino’s arrival in 2014, before joining Watford.
      Capoue made 11 outings in the Championship in the first half of the 2020-21 season, before signing for Villarreal in the January transfer window.
      And his impact was immediate as he helped the Spanish side beat Manchester United in the Europa League final – the club’s first major trophy in their history.
      While he was also crucial in their Champions League run last season to the semi-final.
      CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN – £11m

      Without doubt the most successful acquisition of that summer, Christian Eriksen was an outstanding, indispensable member of the squad for six years, before eventually departing for Inter Milan in January 2020.
      A bargain at £11m, the Dane papered over cracks during Tim Sherwood’s tenure, pulling out a brilliant goal or moment of genius time and time again to dig the team out of trouble.
      He then became vital to Pochettino’s side, so much so that they struggled to adapt whenever he was absent.
      Eriksen admitted his desire to ‘try something new’ after losing the 2019 Champions League final and joined Inter six months later.
      The playmaker helped Inter win the Serie A title last season, but his playing career hung in the balance after he suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.
      However, he returned to the Premier League last season on a short term deal with Brentford, excelling, and is now linked to a move to Manchester United and Spurs.

      ERIK LAMELA – £30m

      Erik Lamela has become the last of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ to depart North London.
      Argentine Lamela, 30, actually had a bizarre start at Spurs, starting just three league matches in his first season before disappearing back to his homeland following a back injury early on in Tim Sherwood’s tenure.
      He returned following his compatriot Pochettino’s arrival, wrestling for a starting berth before sustaining a troublesome hip injury in October 2016 that would keep him out for 13 months.
      Lamela again recovered and returned to action – chipping in with 255 appearances before joining Sevilla in a swap deal with Bryan Gil heading in the opposite direction.
      His most memorable moment will be his ‘rabona’ strike in the 2-1 defeat against Arsenal, with his strike winning the Premier League Goal of the Season award. More

      Nottingham Forest and Southampton to swoop for £25million Morgan Gibbs-White if he does not sign new Wolves deal

      by

      WOLVES want Morgan Gibbs-White to sign a new contract — as rivals Southampton and Nottingham Forest battle for his signature.The 22-year-old attacking midfielder is back from a loan at Sheffield United.

      Wolves coach Bruno Lage wants Gibbs-White to stay and will attempt to agree terms this month.
      But both Saints and Forest want him and are poised with offers should negotiations not go to plan.
      If the England Under-21 international turns a new contract down then they will reluctantly sell.
      However, the asking price is likely to be higher than the current £25million valuations being discussed.

boost in Neves race with Wolves closing on Sporting ace Palhinha
      Gibbs-White started at Wolves’ academy at the tender age of eight years old.
      The versatile midfielder earned his first senior call-up in 2017 and has amassed a total of three goals and one assist in 86 appearances at Molineux.
      But he has had more success in a pair on loan stints in the Championship, first with Swansea and then last season at Bramall Lane.
      Gibbs-White netted twelve times in all competitions for the Blades, including in their play-off semi-final loss to Forest.

      And that has attracted the attentions of rival clubs who think he could show that form in the top division too.
      SunSport recently revealed that Nottingham owner Evangelos Marinakis’ summer transfer policy will be based on manager Steve Cooper and CEO Dane Murphy’s needs.
      Marinakis is going to be working closely with Cooper and Murphy during the summer transfer window and will rely heavily on their advice when determining preferred targets.
      The Greek businessman is also expected to splash over £2m on the club’s training pitches, which will be renovated “from scratch” before next season.
      The Olympiacos owner will be pumping over £3.5m into the academy’s facilities as well. More

      Gareth Bale shoots down retirement talk saying it’s ‘very unlikely’ he won’t make free transfer after Real Madrid exit

      by

      GARETH BALE insists he will not retire this summer following his departure from Real Madrid.The Welsh superstar, 32, left Los Blancos this week after a trophy-laden nine-year spell at the Santiago Bernabeu.
      Gareth Bale has said that he does not intend to retireCredit: Getty
      In 258 appearances he scored 106 goals and helped the club to FIVE Champions League titles.
      But he has hardly featured this season, so there were no intentions from the player or the club to negotiate a new deal.
      And despite Bale’s renowned status, nobody has approached him with a formal offer yet.
      While it is currently unclear where Bale will end up, he is adamant he won’t be hanging up his boots.

Bale backed to join Cardiff when his Real Madrid hell ends this summer
      When asked about the prospect of not joining a new club, he replied: “I think that’s very unlikely.”
      The winger has been heavily linked with a move to Championship side Cardiff.
      And, having earned £600k a week in Spain, Bale’s next step will not be motivated by money, which increases the possibility of a return to his homeland.
      MLS side DC United are also interested in signing him, so much so that they are willing to make him their highest-paid player in history.

      Spurs clinched a spot in the Champions League with a 5-0 win over Norwich on the final day of the season.
      And Kane has argued that this has certainly improved his mindset for the international break.

      Last year, Kane was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City.
      The Sky Blues were willing to offer up to £127.2million for his services, but the striker confirmed that he would stay at Spurs despite feeling ‘left hung out to dry’ by club officials.
      He went on to enjoy another prolific season with the North London club, scoring 17 goals in 37 Premier League appearances.
      Kane will be looking to add to his tally of 49 international goals this evening as the Three Lions take on Hungary in the UEFA Nations League.
      He needs just four more to match Wayne Rooney as England’s all-time leading goalscorer, so the record could be broken by the end of this year.
      When speaking about the achievement, he said: “Of course I think it would be an incredible achievement to break the record.
      “I was lucky enough to be playing on the pitch and actually scored when Wayne broke the record himself.

      Paul in good time
      Paul Pogba is considering his next transfer move as he enjoys a holiday in the United States, writes Kealan Hughes.
      Manchester United announced Pogba’s departure this week – ending a six-year spell at the club.
      Pogba, 29, ran down his contract at the club and is now available on a free transfer amid interest from Juventus, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
      The midfielder is reportedly yet to make up his mind on who to join but will base his decision on football reasons, according to Sky Sports.
      Pogba is prepared to take his time as he is aware this could be the final big move of his career.
      The Frenchman is believed to have received a deal from former club Juventus, who have offered him £130,000 a week.
      It is possible Pogba will decide his future once he completes his holiday with pre-season around a month away.
      Nu-go Tavares
      Arsenal are reportedly prepared to offload Nuno Tavares on loan after just one season.
      The Portuguese left-back was guilty of inconsistent performances when deputising for Kieran Tierney.
      And according to The Athletic, Tavares could be available for loan to aid his development.
      Though they state he could be on the move in January to give time to impress in the Europa League group stage.
      Tammy says he’s joining Liverpool
      Tammy Abraham has sent Liverpool fans into a frenzy after making a comment to Trent Alexander-Arnold during England training.
      Roma’s ex-Chelsea striker, 24, sparked transfer rumours after telling the right-back: “I’m joining you guys next season.”

      His admission was captured in a video which has been shared across social media.
      Some Liverpool supporters are now convinced that he was hinting at a potential move to Anfield.
      One excited fan tweeted: “I want this to happen, we obviously need a target man for those crosses. I wanna see what Klopp cooks up with him.”
      Another said: “Would be a great signing!!”
      Abraham joined Roma on a five-year deal last summer for a fee of £34million.
      He made an instant impact upon his arrival in Italy and quickly cemented his spot in Jose Mourinho’s starting line-up.
      In 37 appearances this season he has scored 17 goals – making him the highest English scorer in a single Serie A season.
      His impressive form has attracted the attention of various Premier League clubs, including Arsenal.
      Less of Maur could mean Mour of Jose
      PSG are lining up Jose Mourinho to replace Mauricio Pochettino.
      The French champions are on the verge of parting company with boss Pochettino, who has walked a tight rope for the last two seasons.

      And SunSport understands the Parisians are contemplating replacing the Argentine with the resurgent Mourinho.
      The Portuguese breathed new life into his floundering managerial career with Serie big boys Roma last season.
      The Special One guided the Italians to Europa Conference League glory last month and a sixth-place league finish.
      And the 59-year-old’s stellar debut season at the Stadio Olimpico has promoted PSG chiefs to weigh up a summer swoop for his services.
      Chelsea still lead hunt for Jules
      Chelsea are convinced they will sign Sevilla star Jules Kounde in the upcoming summer transfer window.
      The Blues missed out on Kounde last year after the LaLiga outfit raised their asking price at the eleventh hour.
      But Chelsea have retained their interest in the centre-back as boss Thomas Tuchel looks to finally secure his services.
      According to ABC Sevilla, the West Londoners are hopeful they can reach an agreement in the region of £43million-£51m.
      The Andalusians were adamant in 2021 that the France international wouldn’t be sold unless his £68m release clause was activated, but now it looks like they’ve got their man.
      Yannick goer?
      Atletico Madrid wideman Yannick Carrasco could be targeted by a £51million Newcastle bid.
      The Magpies’ interest in the 55-cap Belgian fell down in January because they were fighting relegation.
      But AS claim the 28-year-old could move to St James’ Park if his €60million (£51m) release clause is triggered.
      Ton manager Eddie Howe is set to be backed by the Saudi-based Public Investment Fund in the summer transfer window in his bid to sign his priority targets.
      Newcastle target Carrasco
      Newcastle are set to relaunch a £51million offer to land Atletico Madrid ace Yannick Carrasco after securing Premier League status.
      Carrasco was a target during the January transfer window, only for the deal to break down due to the Magpies’ threat of relegation at the time.
      According to AS, however, the forward could move to St James’ Park if his €60million (£51m) release clause is triggered.
      Manager Eddie Howe is set to be backed by the Saudi-based Public Investment Fund in the summer transfer window in his bid to sign his priority targets.
      PSG want the special one
      Jose Mourinho is being lined up to replace Mauricio Pochettino at Paris Saint-Germain.
      The French champions are on the verge of parting company with Pochettino, who has been walking a tight rope for the last two seasons.
      And SunSport understands the Parisians are contemplating the Argentine with the resurgent Mourinho.
      The Portuguese breathed new life into his floundering managerial career with Serie big boys Roma last season.

      The Special One guided the Italians to Europa Conference League glory last month and a sixth-place league finish.
      And the 59-year-old’s stellar debut season at the Stadio Olimpico has promoted PSG chiefs to weigh up a summer swoop for his services.
      Tevez retires
      Carlos Tevez has announced his retirement at the age of 38.
      The striker had an illustrious career spanning seven clubs and three continents but has decided now is the right time to hang up his boots.
      The Argentine has been without a club since leaving Boca Juniors at the end of last season, declaring he was mentally unfit to continue at the club.
      Tevez believed he was capable of playing for several more years but revealed he rejected the opportunity to sign for a new club, turning down offers from MLS.
      The former Manchester United star said he found it difficult to continue playing after the death of his adopted father Segundo Raimundo in February 2021 – whom he described as his biggest fan.

      He said in a statement: “I have retired, it is confirmed.
      “They offered me many things, including from the United States. But that’s it, I have given everything.
      “Playing the last year was very difficult but I was able to see my old man. I stopped playing because I lost my number one fan.”
      Mata could join Prem rival
      Manchester United outcast Juan Mata is considering a move to another Premier League team, according to reports.
      The Spaniard, 34, is set to leave Old Trafford when his contract expires at the end of this month, writes Emillia Hawkins.
      Since joining the Red Devils in 2014 he made 285 appearances and scored 51 goals – but he has hardly featured in the squad this season.
      While his next club is currently unknown, The Times have reported that he could be willing to stay in England.
      And he is refusing to rule out a potential move to a Premier League rival.
      Potential England line up
      England are set to face Hungary in the Nations League on Saturday at the Puskas Arena.
      And SunSport can reveal Gareth Southgate’s potential line up.
      There may be a back three of Harry Maguire, Conor Coady and Kyle Walker.
      Declan Rice will sit in front of them and allow wingers, Bukayo Saka and Trent Alexander-Arnold to roam.
      Conor Gallagher will make his second start for the Three Lions, behind the trio of Mason Mount, Harry Kane and Jarrod Bowen.
      It would be Bowen’s debut for his country.

      Mane to follow Senegal wishes
      Wantaway Liverpool star Sadio Mane has sensationally revealed he will do what Senegal people want when he was told ’60 to 70 per cent’ believe he should leave the club.
      The Senegalese star, 30, shocked reporters at a press conference on Friday while on international duty with his country.
      He gave the clearest indication yet that he could be leaving for Bayern Munich this summer.
      Credit: Getty
      He said: “I respect the fans and team but 60 to 70 per cent of Senegalese want me to leave Liverpool? I’ll do what they want.”
      Mane was quizzed about his next move as Senegal prepare for a African Cup of Nations qualifier against Benin on Saturday.
      And his stunning quote will certainly have sent shockwaves around Anfield.
      Mane has so far refused to sign a new deal with the Premier League giants – and has just 12 months remaining on his current contract.
      Pogba considering future on holiday
      Paul Pogba is considering his next transfer move as he enjoys a holiday in the United States, writes Kealan Hughes.
      Manchester United announced Pogba’s departure this week – ending a six-year spell at the club.
      Pogba, 29, ran down his contract at the club and is now available on a free transfer amid interest from Juventus, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
      The midfielder is reportedly yet to make up his mind on who to join but will base his decision on football reasons, according to Sky Sports.

      It is possible Pogba will decide his future once he completes his holiday with pre-season around a month away.
      Aaron Hickey blow
      Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is said to have “doubts” over the potential signing of Bologna star Aaron Hickey.
      That gives a major boost to other suitors, such as Brentford who are also hoping to land Hickey in the summer.
      The Gunners want the left-back to cover for fellow Scot Kieran Tierney, whose injury problems continue to plague his career.
      Meanwhile, the Bees only have one pair of recognised senior full-backs, with Rico Henry their only natural option on the left side of Thomas Frank’s back five.

      According to the Mirror, there are ‘doubts’ over the interest Arsenal are said to be expressing in the 19-year-old.
      Pulisic could replace Mane, say reports
      Liverpool are keeping tabs on Chelsea ace Christian Pulisic as they prepare to lose Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich.
      According to Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has held talks with Mane’s agent over a possible move in the summer.
      Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has drawn up a four-man shortlist to replace the star forward, according to the MailOnline.
      One of Klopp’s targets is Pulisic, who is rated at around £60million and is reportedly keen for a new challenge after an underwhelming season at Stamford Bridge.
      Liverpool have also been linked with Bayern’s Serge Gnabry and Villarreal’s Arnaut Danjuma

      Lewandowski could force his way out
      Robert Lewandowski could leave Bayern Munich for as little as £20million if he invokes a rarely-implemented FIFA rule, writes Chisanga Malata.
      The prolific Poland international is keen to leave the German champions this summer after eight seasons at the Allianz Arena.
      Bayern are said to want to sell Lewandowski, 33, for £27m but could, according to BILD, be forced to accept significantly less than their asking price due to the ‘Webster Rule’.
      Credit: Getty
      The rule permits players over the age of 28 to buy themselves out of their contracts so long as they’re at least two years into their deal.
      Lewandowski’s current contract with the Bavarians is set to expire next summer and is reportedly worth £20m.

      Tavares available on loan
      Arsenal are reportedly prepared to offload Nuno Tavares on loan after just one season.
      The Portuguese left-back was guilty of inconsistent performances when deputising for Kieran Tierney.
      And according to The Athletic, Tavares could be available for loan to aid his development.
      Though they state he could be on the move in January to give time to impress in the Europa League group stage.
      Villa sign Robin Olsen
      Aston Villa have confirmed the permanent transfer of goalkeeper Robin Olsen.
      Olsen joined Villa on loan from Italian side AS Roma in January, after the conclusion of a separate loan spell at Championship side Sheffield United during the first half of the season.
      The club’s statement said: “Aston Villa is pleased to announce the signing of Robin Olsen for an undisclosed fee. 
      “The Swedish goalkeeper joins from AS Roma on a permanent deal having spent the second half of last season on loan at Villa Park. 
      “The experienced international, capped over 50 times by his country, has represented clubs in Sweden, Greece, Denmark and in Italy across his career and has previously played Premier League football with Everton. 
      “Olsen made his Villa debut on the final day of last season at Manchester City.”
      Although officially undisclosed, Fabrizio Romano has reported the fee for the goalkeeper is £3million.
      Ronaldo snubbed Players’ Player of the Year award
      Cristiano Ronaldo was snubbed by his Manchester United team-mates as David de Gea won the Players’ Player of the Year award.
      The 37-year-old superstar Ronaldo had an admirable individual season, scoring 24 goals in all competitions.
      However goalkeeper De Gea, 31, took home the prize after playing every single minute of United’s league campaign.
      The Spaniard was named man of the match seven times during a disappointing overall campaign for the Red Devils.
      Ronaldo saved the bacon of his United team-mates several times, including a sensational hat-trick against Norwich to avoid an embarrassing result.
      He scored six vital goals in seven Champions League games, but it wasn’t enough to get through Atletico Madrid in the last-16.
      In the end, only Golden Boot award winners, Mo Salah and Son Heung-min, scored more than the Portuguese captain.
      Faith in Jesus
      Arsenal are increasingly confident of sealing a deal for Manchester City ace Gabriel Jesus.
      But manager Mikel Arteta is scaling back on his plans for a major spending spree after initially targeting up to seven new transfers.
      Now Arteta may have to settle for just three new faces as the Gunners count the cost of missing out on Champions League qualification.
      And that will leave the Spanish tactician relying on many of the players who came up just short in the fight with Tottenham for a fourth place finish last season.
      Arteta has told technical director Edu that he requires a squad of 22 outfield players to cope with the extra demands of Europa League football next term.
      The former Manchester City coach currently has just 16, although Eddie Nketiah is expected to accept the offer of a new £100,000-a-week deal to keep him at the Emirates for another five years
      Tottenham tight on Bergwijn
      Spurs are continuing to demand up to £20million for Steven Bergwijn, say reports.
      The winger’s preference is a move to Dutch champions Ajax.
      The Eredivisie winners are confident Bergwijn wants to join them as he targets regular first-team football ahead of the World Cup in Qatar later this year.
      Foden out of England squad
      Gareth Southgate has revealed Phil Foden is one of three players not fit to play in England’s clash against Hungary tomorrow.
      The Manchester City star will sit out of the Nations League fixture after returning a positive Covid-19 test.
      Foden has been pictured in England training this week, while Tomori and Guehi both arrived nursing minor knocks.
      Three Lions boss Southgate is hopeful all three are back in contention for Tuesday’s game against Germany.
      He said: “Fikayo and Marc Guehi both arrived with injuries but they’re progressing well.
      “They won’t be involved in tomorrow’s game but there’s a chance of involvement against Germany.
      “Phil Foden unfortunately has tested positive for COVID so he’s had to leave. Hopefully he’ll be able to meet up when we come back from Germany.”
      Lukaku longs for the San Siro
      Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku is reportedly forcing a sensational return to Inter Milan less than a year after returning to Stamford Bridge.
      The Blues forked out a club-record £97.5m fee to bring Lukaku back last summer.
      And according to Sky Sports, Lukaku wants to head back to the San Siro on a loan deal.
      Lukaku’s representatives will meet with the club on Tuesday to discuss a move, claims Sky in Italy.

      Nou kit
      Barcelona have released next season’s playing shirt… and it’s very different.
      The broke Spanish giants are RENTING OUT their pitch this month in a desperate bid to bring in some cash.
      The sensational report comes from El Chiringuito, who claim that Barca fans will be able to pay for the right to play at the famous ground next week.
      The cash-strapped Blaugrana will be allowing 60-minute matches and charge £255 per player.

      Newcastle target Carrasco
      Newcastle are set to relaunch a £51million offer to land Atletico Madrid ace Yannick Carrasco after securing Premier League status.
      Carrasco was a target during the January transfer window, only for the deal to break down due to the Magpies’ threat of relegation at the time.
      According to AS, however, the forward could move to St James’ Park if his €60million (£51m) release clause is triggered.
      Manager Eddie Howe is set to be backed by the Saudi-based Public Investment Fund in the summer transfer window in his bid to sign his priority targets.

      Varane barrier gets worse
      Manchester United centre-back Raphael Varane’s injury hell continues and he will be sidelined during all of France’s Nations League matches this month.
      The French national team announced that Varane is feeling muscular pain in the left thigh and will miss all three of Les Bleus’ next games.
      The centre-back has been replaced by Liverpool ace Ibrahima Konate, who stood out for the Reds this season in the Premier League and the Champions League.
      France are scheduled to take on Croatia away on Monday before travelling to Austria to face Ralf Rangnick’s men on Friday.
      Didier Deschamps’ side will then lock horns with Croatia once more in the reverse fixture at Stade de France on June 13.
      Varane was one of United’s saving graces this past season, which saw the Manchester giants producing their worst ever Premier League campaign.
      The 29-year-old joined the Red Devils from Real Madrid last summer following a £42million deal. The France international amassed a total of 29 appearances across all competitions on his debut campaign at Old Trafford.
      However, the defender had to sit out of several matches due to a series of groin, hamstring and muscular injuries. The Frenchman also tested positive for coronavirus in March and missed the derby with rivals Manchester City at the Etihad.

      Journalist Pete O’Rourke told GiveMeSport: “I think he’s somebody who United will be pursuing to bring into that midfield, and he’s probably more attainable than a Frenkie de Jong right now.
      “So, I think United will be trying to do something on this and trying to bring him to Old Trafford despite after all these years of speculation of him possibly moving there.”

      Arsenal target Tammy says he’s joining Liverpool
      Tammy Abraham has sent Liverpool fans into a frenzy after making a comment to Trent Alexander-Arnold during England training.
      Roma’s ex-Chelsea striker, 24, sparked transfer rumours after telling the right-back: “I’m joining you guys next season.”

      His admission was captured in a video which has been shared across social media.
      Some Liverpool supporters are now convinced that he was hinting at a potential move to Anfield.
      One excited fan tweeted: “I want this to happen, we obviously need a target man for those crosses. I wanna see what Klopp cooks up with him.”
      Another said: “Would be a great signing!!”
      Abraham joined Roma on a five-year deal last summer for a fee of £34million.
      He made an instant impact upon his arrival in Italy and quickly cemented his spot in Jose Mourinho’s starting line-up.
      In 37 appearances this season he has scored 17 goals – making him the highest English scorer in a single Serie A season.
      His impressive form has attracted the attention of various Premier League clubs, including Arsenal.
      We can steal Tiele
      Arsenal are “convinced” they can complete the bargain signing of £25million Leicester star Youri Tielemans.
      Tielemans is on the Gunners’ radar, and according to the Mirror, the North Londoners are “convinced” they can pull a deal off.
      The midfielder is available for just £25m this summer as he is entering the final year of his Foxes contract.
      The Belgium international is said to still be keen on a move to Arsenal despite them narrowly missing out on Champions League football.
      Midfield isn’t the only area of the pitch manager Mikel Arteta is looking to improve in
      Nu-go Tavares
      Arsenal are reportedly prepared to offload Nuno Tavares on loan after just one season.
      The Portuguese left-back was guilty of inconsistent performances when deputising for Kieran Tierney.
      And according to The Athletic, Tavares could be available for loan to aid his development.
      Though they state he could be on the move in January to give time to impress in the Europa League group stage.
      Lacazette writes emotions goodbye statement
      Alexandre Lacazette has declared it was a “dream come true” to sign for Arsenal after it was announced he will be leaving the club.
      Taking to social media, he said: “5 years ago, my dream came true.. To sign for Arsenal.
      “It’s been an honour to wear the jersey, to be a part of this family.
      “I won trophies, I met real and nice people, and I fell even more in love with this club.
      “Good luck for the future of the club and the fans, it’s been a pleasure.
      “Once a gunner, Always a Gunner. Thank you Arsenal.”
      Serge Gnabry boost
      Arsenal transfer target Serge Gnabry has rejected Bayern Munich’s latest contract offer.
      With one year left on his deal at the Allianz Arena, the Gunners have been linked with bringing Gnabry to the Emirates.
      According to Sport Bild, the North Londoners could have received positive news in their quest to sign the winger.
      They state that the Germany international has turned down Bayern’s latest contract proposal, with the club not willing to improve their offer.
      No further talks are planned, and a sale is now likely with the German champions keen to offload the 26-year-old to avoid losing him on a free

      Lacaz-exit
      Arsenal have announced that Alexandre Lacazette will leave later this month when his contract expires.
      An official statement read: “Alex Lacazette will be leaving us at the end of his current contract, which runs until June 30.”
      Manager Mikel Arteta said: “Laca has been a fantastic player for us.
      “He’s been a real leader on and off the pitch and has been a very important influence to our younger players.
      “His commitment with us has been exceptional and we wish him and his family success and happiness”.
      Gunners to bank in on Bellerin
      Arsenal are unwilling to let Hector Bellerin leave on a free transfer this summer.
      Bellerin spent the last season on loan at Real Betis and revealed his wish to stay there permanently in an emotional goodbye message.
      The Gunners though are refusing to release him from his contract, according to Estadio Deportivo.
      The right-back has just one year remaining on his current deal and is said to be open to having it ripped up.
      That would save the North Londoners around £100,000-a-week on wages but the club are not likely to sanction the Spain international’s wishes.
      Luc for it
      Lazio have entered the race to sign Arsenal outcast and Fiorentina loanee Lucas Torreira.
      The Viola have failed to trigger their option to buy Torreira on a permanent deal worth £12.5million.
      Now, Tuttomercatoweb.com claim Lazio boss and former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri wants to bring the midfielder to Rome.
      The story also claims that Fiorentina are still hopeful of a deal for the Uruguay international.
      Aaron Hickey blow
      Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is said to have “doubts” over the potential signing of Bologna star Aaron Hickey.
      That gives a major boost to other suitors, such as Brentford who are also hoping to land Hickey in the summer.
      The Gunners want the left-back to cover for fellow Scot Kieran Tierney, whose injury problems continue to plague his career.
      Meanwhile, the Bees only have one pair of recognised senior full-backs, with Rico Henry their only natural option on the left side of Thomas Frank’s back five.

      According to the Mirror, there are ‘doubts’ over the interest Arsenal are said to be expressing in the 19-year-old.

      Faith in Jesus
      Arsenal are increasingly confident of sealing a deal for Manchester City ace Gabriel Jesus.
      But manager Mikel Arteta is scaling back on his plans for a major spending spree after initially targeting up to seven new transfers.
      Now Arteta may have to settle for just three new faces as the Gunners count the cost of missing out on Champions League qualification.
      And that will leave the Spanish tactician relying on many of the players who came up just short in the fight with Tottenham for a fourth place finish last season.
      Arteta has told technical director Edu that he requires a squad of 22 outfield players to cope with the extra demands of Europa League football next term.
      The former Manchester City coach currently has just 16, although Eddie Nketiah is expected to accept the offer of a new £100,000-a-week deal to keep him at the Emirates for another five years
