It has been rumoured that he could be on his way to Italy to join up with former manger Rafa Benitez, who left Liverpool for Inter Milan after Jose Mourinho vacated the manager’s job post at Inter to join spanish giants Real Madird.

Liverpool are still yet to appoint a manager after Benitez departure and Kuyt is not sure where he will be playing his football next season.

Boselli closes in on Wigan move

Wigan Athletic have succeeded in persuading Estudiantes striker Mauro Boselli to join the club in a record £5.8million deal. Wigan chairman Dave Whelan was reluctant to sign the Argentine international but was persuaded by coach Roberto Martinez.

The 25-year old Boselli has scored 32 times in 57 games for his current club and is the all time top scorer in the Copa Libertadores – South American version of the Champions’ League. With the attacking talents at Maradona’s disposal, Boselli missed out on the World Cup squad.

The Lancashire outfit beat a host of clubs from Spain and Germany to his signature. They also had to fend of interest from fellow Premiership clubs – Sunderland and Birmingham City. The fact that the player was part owned by Boca Juniors – his former club added to the complications. Boselli’s arrival could pave the way for Hugo Rodallega’s move to Arsenal.

Wolves nearing Hunt capture

Wolves manager Mick Mccarthy is set to take his summer spending to over £17m with the signing of Hull City midfielder Stephen Hunt. A £3million deal has been agreed for the versatile Republic of Ireland international with Hull City. Hunt represented Hull City for just a solitary season after transferring from Reading. He made 27 appearances and scored 6 times including an opening day goal at Stamford Bridge. But a foot injury would rule him out for the start of the 2010-11 season.

Hunt would become McCarthy’s fourth signing of the close season after Jelle Van Damme, Steven Fletcher and Steven Mouyokolo.

Tottenham want Forlan; may lose out on Pienaar

Harry Redknapp is lining up an offer to bring Uruguay striker Diego Forlan back to the Premiership for a second stint. The 31-year old who scored twice in the recently concluded game against South Africa had a three year stint with Manchester United where he managed to score just ten goals in 62 appearances. After moving to Spain, Forlan has gone from strength to strength where he averages more than a goal every two games. Forlan scored a brace in the Europa League final against Fulham for Atletico Madrid last month. Atletico want in excess of £12million for their star forward but Tottenham might are not willing offer above £8.5million for the South American star.

Meanwhile, Tottenham’s chase of Steven Pienaar may prove to be unfruitful as Everton have offered him the biggest deal in the history of the club. David Moyes has tabled a four-year deal worth £55,000 a week which would make the South African the top paid player at the club. Tottenham were on the verge of making a £10million bid after the player had turned down two previous contracts at Goodison Park.

Sunderland close in on Heiko Westermann

Sunderland boss Niall Quinn was in Germany to sort out a deal for 26-year old German defender Heiko Westermann. His stellar performances in defence helped Schalke attain the second position in the league behind Bayern Munich. Westermann, who has missed the World Cup due to injury, had been Steve Bruce’s top target over the summer break. A deal of around £6m is being talked about.

Westermann has played 17 times for Germany and was part of the team that lost to Spain in the finals of the 2008 European Championships. He moved to Schalke in 2007 from Armenia Bielefield. He played 92 games for Schalke notching up 12 goals – an impressive tally for a defender.

Sunderland are among a host of clubs tracking the progress of Ivory Coast striker Gervinho at the World Cup. But they have refuted suggestions that the club might be interested in West Ham’s Matthew Upson.

Westermann’s signing would be the fourth of the close season after Paraguayan midfielder Cristian Riveros, Belgian goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and Argentine full-back Marcos Angeleri.

Yaya Toure to join City ‘very soon’

Manchester City’s long pursuit of Yaya Toure seems to have bore fruit as a deal is understood to have been made with Barcelona with regards to the player’s move to Eastlands after the World Cup. A fee of around £25m has been agreed and City have been able to convince the player that a move to Chelsea could see him get less playing time and could be detrimental to his career.

Toure’s agent Dimitri Seluk confirmed that Yaya was close to moving to England. He was quoted as saying, “I think we will probably close his departure very soon. It is likely to be this week but at the moment we can’t announce anything.”

The move for Toure could spell the end of Stephen Ireland’s Manchester City career. Both him and Robinho might be forced out of the club. Besiktas who are managed by former Real Madrid boss Bernd Schuester are interested in the Brazilian.

Manchester City have already signed Jerome Boateng from Hamburg and are hot on the pursuits of David Silva, Edin Dzeko and Mikel Arteta.

Zoran Tosic leaves Manchester United for CSKA Moscow

Russian outfit CSKA Moscow have completed the signing of Serbian winger Zoran Tosic from Manchester United. Tosic, who is currently with the Serbian team at the 2010 World Cup, has signed a five year contract with CSKA. The fee CSKA paid United for Tosic was not disclosed, but rumours have it to be somewhere around the £8m mark.

Tosic joined Manchester United in January 2009 as part of the deal that also brought Adam Ljajić to Old Trafford. However the former Partizan starlet struggled to break through into the first team and made only five appearances for the Red Devils in his eighteen month stay at the Threatre of Dreams. Tosic spent the last half of the 09/10 season on loan with Bundesliga side FC Koln.

Koln were eager to keep Tosic but were unable to afford the fee United had quoted for the young Serbian left winger.

Arsenal release Gallas, want Jagielka

Arsenal have decided not to offer French defender William Gallas a new contract after his demands were deemed extravagant by the club’s hierarchy. The 32-year old had been demanding a new two-year contract on wages of £80,000 a week. He joins a list of high profile players who have been released by their clubs including the likes of Michael Ballack and Joe Cole. It won’t be too difficult for the Frenchman to find a new club. The likes of Juventus and Roma are already hot in pursuit of the former Chelsea defender.

The Gunners have already started planning life without Gallas. Arsene Wenger has earmarked Everton defender Phil Jagielka as his replacement. The 27-year old who was controversially left out by Capello in his World Cup squad will be lured by an attractive offer and a chance to play Champions League football. Arsenal have also set their sights on Lorient defender Laurent Koscielny.

For the first time after moving into the new stadium, Arsene Wenger has money to spend. He is also on the verge of signing out of contract England midfielder Joe Cole and is expected to bid for Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer. In the case that Fabregas completes his move to Barcelona, Wenger will have additional amount in his transfer kitty as he plans to restructure his squad and mount a serious title challenge.
