​​Manchester City are keen on offloading goalkeeper Joe Hart, and are willing to lower their £5m asking price in order to secure the England international a permanent move away from the club. According to the​ Times, City are so desperate to get the 31-year-old off the books at the Etihad that they are willing to reduce the original asking price of £5m, and would even consider letting the veteran shot stopper leave for nothing.

If you asked one hundred people who the Premier League's 'big' clubs are now, there's a good chance that every one of them would give you the same answer. Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal have made up the top six of the league for the past two seasons, and the dominance of this newly-formed 'Big Six' looks set to continue, with other clubs simply unable to match their financial capabilities.

Void ​Real Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui is seemingly prepared to head into the new season with his squad exactly as it sits after claiming that he will be 'happy' if no more new players are signed and no more players head for the exit. Real let Cristiano Ronaldo join Juventus earlier this month and are yet to try and replace the five-time Ballon d'Or winner after ​refusing to resort to long dead Galacticos transfer policy and pay more than €100m for any single player.

Everton are reportedly nearing the completion of the signing of Barcelona’s French international left-back Lucas Digne as Marco Silva sets about his Goodison Park revolution. The Toffees have some incredibly promising young talent but have been hamstrung by an ageing, immobile defence for a number of years now so the overhaul Silva is beginning is long overdue. Leighton Baines has been an brilliant servant to the Merseyside club, relentlessly motoring up and down the left flank and whipping in crosses but he has been slowing down in recent seasons and the time has come to replace the Scouser. The move for Digne certainly represents an expensive and ambitious attempt to do exactly that but we asked Toffees fans whether they think the Frenchman is an upgrade on Baines. The optimism is clear; 78 per cent of Everton fans believe that the man expected to sign on the dotted line is an improvement on the Englishman, as shown by the full poll results below… from FootballFanCast.com h

The Daily Mail have reported that West Brom striker Salomon Rondon is set to complete a loan move to Newcastle, with Dwight Gayle heading the other way and swapping St James’ Park for the Hawthorns. As Newcastle’s Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is close to agreeing a £22m move to Fulham, according to Sky Sports , this would allow Rafa Benitez to make his move for the Baggies’ Venezuelan target man. Rondon has been a great servant to West Brom since his £12m move from Zenit St Petersburg in the summer of 2015, playing 120 times for the club and scoring 28 goals despite being involved in relegation battles and playing under defensive managers. However, although West Brom fans will be sad to be without the 28-year-old for their return to the Championship, signing Dwight Gayle in return would represent an excellent piece of business for boss Darren Moore. The 27-year-old Englishman has scored a combined 36 goals in 61 games during the two Championship seasons he has completed in

Brentford attacker Sergi Canos is a transfer target for Middlesbrough in this summer’s window – as reported by TEAMtalk . Indeed, with Adama Traore widely expected to move on ahead of the 2018-19 campaign, Boro are being linked with a number of attackers. Canos, who spent time with Barcelona during his youth career, actually made his debut as a professional footballer at Liverpool during the 2015-16 campaign. The 21-year-old has also since represented Norwich City, but has been with Brentford since joining the club in January 2017. It would be fair to say that the 5ft 9in Spaniard has made a very positive impression since his arrival at Griffin Park, and Brentford are desperate to keep him this summer. However, Boro seemingly view the attacker as a player capable of boosting their promotion bid, and the club’s supporters are interested in a deal taking place. A selection of the Twitter reaction from the Boro fans can be seen below: Both be great signings if we can get them in

Everton winger Yannick Bolasie is attracting interest from Leicester City, Crystal Palace and Fenerbahce, according to the Liverpool Echo . What’s the story? This summer, new Everton boss Marco Silva has made clear that Ademola Lookman will be a part of his plans going forward after the youngster’s impressive loan spell in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig during the second half of last season. The Toffees have also spent £40m on Watford man Richarlison and, as Bolasie has yet to hit top form after his year on the sidlines following a knee injury suffered in December 2016, the DR Congo international will have slipped down the pecking order at Goodison Park. Now 29-years-old, Bolasie may feel this summer that the time is right to move on in an attempt to get the game time he needs to resurrect his career. With Leicester and Palace interested, another Premier League club who should target Bolasie are new boys Wolves. Cavaleiro replacement Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo has already

Birmingham City are one of two Championship clubs who have been forced to admit defeat in the chase for Hibernian’s Scottish international midfielder John McGinn, according to The Sun journalist Alan Nixon. What’s the story, then? Nixon claimed on Twitter that Blues boss Garry Monk, along with beaten play-off semi-finalists Derby County, held an interest in bringing McGinn south of the border but have been put off by the message that he would head to Celtic. Reports swirling this summer have claimed that Hibs are holding out for £4m for the midfielder’s signature, which looks to be an achievable sum for a club in the second tier. However, it appears as if McGinn’s desire to join the Bhoys is so strong that he will wait to run his contract down in order to move to Parkhead on a free transfer, and that strength of feeling has clearly put Birmingham off. McGinn would have been a clear upgrade on Davis David Davis has manfully filled in a number of midfield roles at St Andrew’s

According to reports in The Mirror on July 28, out-of-favour Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater is a target for Crystal Palace, and Tottenham Hotspur should make a shock move to hijack any potential deal. What’s the word, then? Well, The Mirror say that the England international is primed for an exit from the Blues as he isn’t in new manager Maurizio Sarri’s plans, especially following the arrival of Jorginho from Napoli. The England international now faces competition from the likes of Ross Barkley, Cesc Fabregas, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and N’Golo Kante for a spot in the middle of the park, and it appears as though he may be the odd-one-out. The Mirror report that the Eagles would be interested in a loan deal for a player that cost the west London outfit £35m less than 12 months ago . Should Drinkwater arrive at Selhurst Park, he would be competing with the likes of Luka Milivojevic, James McArthur and Jason Puncheon for a central midfield role, and he could po

LeBron James & Liverpool It’s well-known that NBA star LeBron James is a part-owner of Liverpool FC. LeBron owns 2% of Liverpool. That stake-holding is reportedly worth 32 million dollars. James received his 2% equity in Liverpool for around $6.5 million back in 2011. LeBron James praises Man United It’s been a hectic summer for LeBron James as he’s left the Cleveland Cavaliers to join the LA Lakers. LeBron James has agreed a four-year deal worth $154 million to move to the west coast. This week the NBA star has sat down with ESPN to discuss why he made the move to LA. And during his sit-down, LeBron decided to compare his current employers to Liverpool’s eternal rivals Man United: The Lakers haven’t been to the playoffs in a few years, but the Lakers organisation is a historical franchise.

According to Sky Sports News , Matej Vydra’s expected move to Leeds United has broken down, with the Whites failing to agree personal terms with the Derby County forward. Vydra has been strongly linked with a move to Elland Road over the last couple of weeks, and it is understood that Marcelo Bielsa’s side were prepared to pay £11m for his services. Vydra’s wage demands have proved to be problematic , however, and it now seems that the move has broken down just days before the new Championship season. It leaves Leeds in a difficult position when considering that they need a new centre-forward before the transfer window slams shut. However, it would be fair to say that the Leeds fans are not too bothered about the latest reports surrounding the 5ft 11in prolific Championship goalscorer.

Newcastle are set to finalise a season-long loan deal for West Brom striker Salomon Rondon, with the Magpies’ striker Dwight Gayle going the other way, according to The Daily Mail . What’s the story? With Sky Sports reporting that Aleksandar Mitrovic is in London to finalise his £22m move to Fulham, Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez will finally be able to complete a deal for the Serbian striker’s replacement, Salomon Rondon. The 28-year-old netted seven goals and provided three assists last season as West Brom were relegated from the Premier League. While these may not be the most amazing numbers, Rondon also acts as a crucial focal point for his side and is able to bully defenders to hold the ball up – exactly what Benitez is looking for from his main man. For Dwight Gayle though, it looks as though his career at St James’ Park could be over, or at least will be for the next year or so. The pacy striker made 35 appearances in the Premier League last season, scoring six goals in the p

According to TEAMtalk , Middlesbrough are interested in signing Brentford attacker Sergi Canos this summer as Adama Traore prepares to leave the club. What’s the story? Boro face a very tough task when it comes to keeping hold of Traore this summer, and it does appear that the former Barcelona youngster will move on ahead of the new season. Wolverhampton Wanderers continue to be linked with a move , and Boro have every right to hold out for the best possible price. According to TEAMtalk , the Championship club’s head coach Tony Pulis is aware that Traore is likely to leave ahead of the 2018-19 campaign, and has identified Brentford attacker Canos as a possible replacement. The 21-year-old joined Brentford from Norwich City in January 2017, and there is no question that he is one of the most talented players in the second tier. Should Middlesbrough make a move? Brentford will be desperate to keep hold of Canos this summer, but Pulis looks to be putting together a squad capable o

According to TEAMtalk , West Brom and Middlesbrough are both battling to sign Queens Park Rangers’ attacking midfielder Luke Freeman. What’s the story? Having recently added Leicester winger Harvey Barnes to his squad, West Brom boss Darren Moore has now been linked with QPR-man Freeman in an attempt to inject some creativity to a Baggies side hoping to bounce straight back to the Premier League at the first time of asking. Valued at just £2.7m by Transfermarkt , the 26-year-old scored five goals in the Championship last season but also, more importantly for his position, created 13 assists as his side finished in a disappointing 16th place. The former England U17 international signed for QPR in January 2017 for just £315,ooo. However, the club recently accepted a transfer ban for the January 2019 window following their overspending that saw them gain promotion to the Premier League in the 2013/14 season, this means that any deal for Freeman would have to be concluded soon in order

Aston Villa are in talks with Liverpool over a loan move for youngster Ben Woodburn, according to The Daily Telegraph . What’s the story? The 18-year-old is a product of the Liverpool academy and he has gone on to make six Premier League appearances for the senior side. The forward became Liverpool’s youngest ever goalscorer after netting against Leeds United in the League Cup Quarter Final in 2016, and the starlet is also Wales’ second youngest ever goalscorer after a certain Gareth Bale. Woodburn has impressed for the Reds in pre-season but now Villa are reportedly firm favourites to sign the youngster on loan for the season. Time to shine The Wales international has promised so much early in his career and is considered one of the brightest young prospects in the Premier League. He has had glimpses of first-team football but with Liverpool’s attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane so lethal, Woodburn will find it very difficult to play regular footbal

Leeds United recently announced the signing of Manchester City winger Jack Harrison on a season-long loan and fans of the Whites on Twitter have been starting to get excited for the new season after a frustrating transfer window of missing out on targets. Harrison was born in Stoke-on-Trent but moved to the US at age 14 and started his career in the MLS. He was originally picked by Chicago Fire in the draft system but was almost immediately traded to New York City FC. During his two seasons in the MLS, the 21-year-old netted 14 goals and provided 10 assists, doing enough to convince New York’s sister side Manchester City to sign him in January this year before immediately loaning him out to Middlesbrough. The England U21 international appeared in just four games under Pulis at Boro during the second half of last season, but Leeds fans clearly saw enough to be excited about his signing.
