Everton fans have been discussing a move for impressive Denmark winger Pione Sisto, and it seems fans would love to add him to Marco Silva’s arsenal this season. With Yannick Bolasie nearing the Goodison exit door this summer, it seems fairly likely Silva will add another winger in the transfer market. Watford’s Richarlison is one name that has cropped up plenty due mainly to his connection with Silva, but reports earlier in the summer suggested the Hornets will refuse to sell any players to Everton this summer. Hirving Lozano has been heavily linked with a move to Everton, but with the likes of Barcelona sniffing around it’s going to be one hell of an effort to bring the impressive Mexican to Merseyside. Sticking on the subject of impressive World Cup performers, Denmark’s Sisto could look for a mega money move this season, and Everton could well be one of the clubs eyeing up a move. The 23 year-old Celta Vigo winger was electric in his country’s 1-1 draw with Australia last we

Willian Barcelona and Man United are set to face off for Willian, with the Cules reportedly making a £50 million bid for the player in order to beat out Jose Mourinho’s men. Willian is hot property this summer, and is someone who top clubs are chasing after, with Mourinho making plenty of moves for the player in the past and then being rebuffed due to the winger’s desire to stay at Chelsea. At the minute, Willian is focusing on Brazil and the World Cup in Russia, where he has a key role for the team, yet his agent will be considering his future – and as long as Antonio Conte remains in charge of the side, Willian looks like heading closer and closer to the exit door. The Express note that Mourinho is desperate to land Willian, and Chelsea are reportedly bracing themselves for a huge bidding war, with United expected to also make their bid for the player.

Lukaku Alexis Sanchez has backed Romelu Lukaku to win the Golden Boot at the World Cup, and said that he thinks the player is in the form of his life. He spoke about his teammate and made it clear he not only wants him to win the award, but also to shine in the World Cup full stop. Alexis is of course sitting out the World Cup as Chile failed to qualify, and it seems that he’s still watching and cheering on his teammates. Goal report Alexis said:  “Lukaku is fine, on fire. He has four goals. “I hope he is the top goalscorer of the World Cup.” MOSCOW, RUSSIA – JUNE 23: Romelu Lukaku of Belgium celebrates with teammate Eden Hazard after scoring his team’s second goal during the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia group G match between Belgium and Tunisia at Spartak Stadium on June 23, 2018 in Moscow, Russia.

Leeds United are looking to sign Chelsea youngster Lewis Baker on a permanent deal, although they will also consider loaning him if Chelsea are unwilling to sell, according to The Mirror’s live transfer blog ( 28/06 18:20 ). The 23-year-old midfielder has been on Chelsea’s books for a number of years, and has spent time on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, Vitesse and Middlesbrough. Last season at Boro, Baker made 12 appearances in the Championship, scoring one goal, but wasn’t favoured by new manager Tony Pulis when he took over in December. Is this the best World Cup ever?

The central midfielder is one of a number of Chelsea youngsters who haven’t made an impression at the club and have spent their entire careers out on loan.

Liverpool should no longer focus on trying to sign Roma goalkeeper Alisson, and instead focus on other targets. What’s the word? Since the transfer window opened, the Merseyside outfit have been linked with a handful of shot-stoppers around Europe. Current number one Loris Karius did not cover himself in glory during the Champions League final last month. The German made two huge blunders that led to goals in the Reds’ 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid in Kiev. Who do you think will win the World Cup? Let us know here and win any World Cup shirt of your choice . Roma keeper Alisson has cropped up in the gossip pages plenty of times whenever Liverpool’s hunt for a new stopper has been mentioned. However, the likelihood of a deal being struck seems far away, particularly now that Real Madrid and Chelsea have been touted as potential suitors. Why should Liverpool give up? There is no doubt that manager Jurgen Klopp needs a new man in between the sticks. However, there are various obstac

Tottenham are still hunting a deputy striker for Harry Kane, and fans are completely split on making a move for Croatia’s Mario Mandzukic. While Son Heung-min’s performance against Germany could make Mauricio Pochettino think twice about signing a new striker this summer, most fans are expecting an upgrade on the Vincent Janssen and Fernando Llorente. Janssen struggled with injuries on loan at Fenerbahce last season, and Llorente just didn’t cut it in North London. Much like Llorente, the 32 year-old Mandzukic offers a slightly different presence to Kane, and was particularly dominant in Croatia’s demolition of Argentina last week. The veteran striker has 30 goals in 85 Croatia caps, and grabbed five goals and three assists in Serie A last season. Mandzukic could potentially bring the extra goal threat Pochettino is looking for off the bench and finally prevent those end of season ankle injuries for Kane, or he could just be another Llorente. Fans have been discussing a summer

According to Turkish newspaper  Hurriyet , Wolves have met the €5m buyout clause of Egyptian winger Mahmoud Hassan – better known as Trezeguet. What’s the story? Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are up against Galatasaray, who have also met the buyout clause in Trezeguet’s contract with Turkish Super Lig side Kasimpasa, but the Turkish champions have offered higher wages. The 23-year-old scored 16 goals and provided eight assists in 33 matches in all competitions last season and has impressed for his country in Russia on the biggest stage. Trezeguet was given the nickname by a youth team coach due to the Egyptian’s striking physical resemblance to the French World Cup winner at the time. Battle for his signature Santo’s preferred formation for Wolves last year was a variation of a 3-4-3 and Trezeguet could fit perfectly into the left-sided forward role that this creates. He has played as an inside forward for Egypt in this World Cup and has linked well with striker Marwan Mohsen. Pla

Tottenham Hotspur have been rumoured to be interested in Leicester City’s Harry Maguire as a potential replacement for Toby Alderweireld, and his World Cup performances are showing why. The colossal England centre-back started the first two group games and came on as a substitute for the third, and has quickly established himself as a key man in Gareth Southgate’s starting eleven. The 25-year-old had a solid season for the Foxes after signing for them last summer, starting every Premier League game and registering two goals and four assists.

Birmingham City are looking to offload high-earning players and will listen to offers for Cheikh Ndoye, according to The Birmingham Mail . What’s the story? Having only been appointed in March, this summer will be Garry Monk’s first transfer window in charge of Birmingham and the former Swansea manager will be looking to rebuild his squad in the hope that the Blues can better their 19th place finish in the Championship last season. In order to free up funds to bring in his own players, Monk has already moved on a number of players including Robert Tesche and Cheick Keita. He has also told goalkeepers David Stockdale and Tomasz Kuszczak that they can leave the club. Ndoye joined Birmingham on a free transfer from French Ligue 1 side SCO Angers last summer and played 40 games for the club in all competitions last season. Reed on loan?

It is not hugely surprising that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been linked to the Germany national team, but it would be a shock if he abandoned the Reds at this stage. Understandably, Joachim Low’s steady position in charge of the Germans looked a little wobbly following their early exit from the World Cup in Russia . They were one of the favourites to win the crown due to being holders, but they heavily disappointed and ended up finishing bottom of Group F, with Sweden and Mexico advancing. Sky Bet  have Klopp as 3/1 favourite to replace Low, while former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is second in the list at 7/2. Klopp took over as Liverpool manager in October 2015, replacing Brendan Rodgers, and even though he is yet to guide the team to silverware, he has taken them to three finals.

Arsenal fans will be enjoying the club’s business so far this summer as new boss Unai Emery looks to build a squad capable of breaking back into the top four of the Premier League. Having already signed goalkeeper Bernd Leno and right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner, Arsenal now look set to finalise deals for Sokratis Papastathopoulos from Borussia Dortmund and Lucas Torreira from Sampdoria. Italian Sky Sports journalist  Fabrizio Romano  tweeted that the deal for Torreira was done and all that was left was for the Uruguayan to have his medical at The Emirates. Torreira is a diminutive central-midfielder who can break up opposition attacks whilst also being comfortable on the ball and able to create chances for his own side. The defensive side of his game, offering protection to a back four, is certainly what Arsenal fans have been crying out for in their midfield for recent years. Gunners’ fans on Twitter have been buzzing about his impending move from Italy. Check out some of their b

Stoke City are interested in signing Everton defender Ashley Williams according to The Guardian . What’s the story? The 33-year-old Welsh defender joined Everton in 2016 after a long and successful spell at the heart of the Swansea City defence. He made 24 appearances last season for the Toffees but struggled for form, and now Everton are understandably looking to rejuvenate an ageing defence, with Phil Jagielka aged 35.

The Guardian report that Stoke are interested in bringing the experienced defender, valued at £4.5million by Transfermarkt , to the Britannia next season to help them return to the Premier League.

While Stoke are right to look at experience to shore up a leaky defence, Williams may not have e

West Ham fans are split over a move for Liverpool striker Divock Origi, who could leave Liverpool in search of regular playing time. According to The Liverpool Echo , this pre-season is judgement time for Origi, who needs to impress Jürgen Klopp after a fairly average loan spell with Wolfsburg. Roberto Firmino will return late from the World Cup, giving the Belgian striker a chance to shine, but the presence of Ben Woodburn, Dominic Solanke and Harry Wilson means the pressure is on to keep his Anfield career alive. Danny Ings has also been linked with moves away from Liverpool, as the ex-Burnley man searches for regular playing time, but it’s Origi that West Ham fans are eyeing up. The 23 year-old has incredible pace and power, but he is extremely low on confidence, and there is a real feeling this is his last chance on Merseyside. The young Belgian, who can also play on the wing, hit an electric run of form at Anfield in 2016, but has never quite got up to speed after an ankle in
