Charlton Athletic reject offer from Championship club for star player

Image
Charlton Athletic have rejected a bid from an unnamed Championship side for Macauley Bonne. The 24-year-old only made the move to The Addicks last summer, with Charlton paying Leyton Orient £200,000 for his services. Bonne had a successful debut season for Charlton, scoring 11 times in 33 Championship games. Following Charlton's 3-0 loss against West Ham in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday. Lee Bowyer confirmed that Bonne was not for sale. "That [offer for Bonne] happened and we turned it down," he said, per Louis Mendez. "We've gone back to them and said he's not for sale." The offer may have come from Preston North End. It has been reported that they were preparing a bid of around £500,000 for the Zimbabwean. Burnley have also been linked with a move. If he stay put this summer, Bonne will no doubt play a major role as Charlton attempt to bounce back to the Championship at the first time of asking.

Arsenal in talks to sell midfielder to Serie A club

Image
Lucas Torreira's time at Arsenal looks as if it is coming to an end. The Uruguayan signed for the Gunners in 2018 in a £26m move from Sampdoria. He quickly became a fan-favourite with some combative performances in the middle of the park. However, he failed to build on his promising start and was only used sparingly by Mikel Arteta at the back end of the 2019/20 season. And now, acording to Sky Sports , the Spanish manager is looking to cash in on the 24-year-old. Arsenal are reportedly in talks with Torino over a season long loan move for Torreira. The Serie A club would then have the option to make the move permanent. Torino would pay Arsenal £22m over two instalments. Fiorentina are also believed to be interested in his services. The funds acquired for selling Torreira could then go to signing a replacement. Arsenal have been linked with Atletico's Thomas Partey in the last few months. Atletico will only let the Ghanaian leave if Arsenal activate his £45m release clause. It ...

Manchester United 'very close' to making second summer signing

Image
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is doing a fine job at Manchester United. The Norwegian manager took over in December 2018 with the club in turmoil. Fast forward two years and United are now back in the Champions League and looking to challenge for the Premier League title once again. United need to have a successful transfer window, though. They finished a massive 33 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League last campaign, meaning bolstering the squad is of paramount importance. The Red Devils have already completed the signing of Ajax star, Donny van de Beek. The Dutch midfielder joined the club earlier this month as he completed a £40m move. And it appears United are set to announce their second signing of the summer. According to Mundo Deportivo , United are 'very close' to signing to signing Real Madrid left-back, Sergio Reguilon. Negotiations are said to be 'well advanced' and the signing could be completed by the end of the week. The fee is believed to be around £22.5m....

Chelsea youngster drawing interest from three top European clubs

Image
Chelsea have high hopes for Callum Hudson-Odoi. The youngster was the subject of heavy interest from Bayern Munich last year, with the German club having multiple bids rejected. Hudson-Odoi eventually signed a five-year contract with the Blues worth £120,000-per-week. However, it appears that Bayern are still targeting a move for the 19-year-old. That's because, according to Sky in Germany , Bayern have revived their interest in the young star. They aren't the only club vying for his signature, with RB Leipzig and Juventus also said to be interested. Hudson-Odoi made 33 appearances for the Blues last season, scoring three times. The teenager may find first-team opportunities even harder to come by this campaign, with Frank Lampard having added Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz and Timo Werner to his squad. It will no doubt take a big offer to convince Chelsea to let go of one of their most promising youngsters, though.

Tottenham 'move ahead' of Man United in pursuit of La Liga outcast

Image
Tottenham Hotspur have been one of the Premier League's most active clubs in the current transfer window. Jose Mourinho's side have made three signings, with Matt Doherty, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Joe Hart all  j oining the north London outfit. But Mourinho is still looking to bolster his squad and, according to ESPN , he is eyeing a sensational move for former Spurs star, Gareth Bale. The Portuguese manager has reportedly told Daniel Levy that his side needs attacking reinforcements to ease the goal-scoring burden on Harry Kane, with efforts to negotiate a deal with Real Madrid for Bale having already taken place. Bale is also drawing attention from Manchester United, but they are pursuing other options at this stage. The Welshman was once one of the best players in the world but is now finding first-team opportunities heard to come by at Madrid. He played just 20 time in the 2019/20 season, scoring three times. Bale has been told he can leave the club, with Real Madrid ready...

Fantasy Premier League is officially back for the 2020/21 season, ladies and gentleman. Players can now select their squad of 15 using a budget of £100m. I've taken a look at every players' prices and listed ten Premier League stars that I consider to be bargains for the upcoming season. Nathan Ferguson - Defender - Crystal Palace - £4.0m The highly-rated defender joined Crystal Palace from West Bromwich Albion in the summer. While he is not a guaranteed starter, he represents low risk, high return due to his price tag. Tariq Lamptey - Defender - Brighton - £4.5m The English full-back impressed for the Seagulls when given a run in the side towards the end of last season. He likes to attack and could contribute to a number of goals in the upcoming season. Ruben Vinagre - Defender - Wolves - £4.5m With Jonny out for the foreseeable future with an ACL injury, Vinagre is set to start the season as Wolves' first-choice left-back. He is a no-brainer to get in your side should Wol...
