Vela nears West Brom loan move

Arsenal forward Carlos Vela is close to sealing a loan move with West Bromwich Albion, his agent Eduardo Hernandez has confirmed. Vela will join the Baggies till the end of the season.

Bolton were in pole position to sign the Mexican on a six-month loan deal. Bolton manager Owen Coyle had publicly expressed his desire to secure the services of the 21-year old. Arsenal gave the green light for Vela to negotiate terms at the Reebok Stadium but the move failed to materialize, because of lack of assurance over first-team football.

Vela, supposedly, has 15 offers from all over the world but had narrowed them down to three last week. Spanish club Valencia were the third team in the fray, but the striker refused a move to the Mestalla as he wanted to get first-team action in England.

West Brom are also hot on the heels of Brazilian striker Ewerthon. The former Dortmund and Zaragoza striker is currently a free agent and Di Matteo believes that he could be the answer to WBA’s goalscoring woes. West Brom are also keeping tabs on Greek striker Giorgio Samaras who has refused to commit to a new deal at Celtic Park.

Official: Liverpool sign Suarez, reject Torres’ transfer plea

Two important developments have taken place at Anfield in the last 24 hours, and both could have significant impact on Liverpool’s progress till the end of the season.

Firstly, Liverpool have turned down an official transfer request from their star forward Fernando Torres. The Spaniard, who is the heartbeat of Liverpool’s attack has grown disillusioned at the state of affairs at Anfield and was subject of a massive £35 million bid by Chelsea. The club reiterated their desire to keep Torres and issued an official statement on the lines of , “Fernando Torres tonight submitted a written transfer request, which has been rejected by Liverpool. Fernando is under long term contract and the Club expect him to honour the commitment he made to Liverpool FC and its supporters when he signed the agreement.”

The Reds also agreed a fee of around £22.8 million for Ajax’s Uruguyan forward Luis Suarez. The player is yet to decide personal terms with Liverpool and is due to undergo a medical at Anfield on Saturday. Suarez’s imminent arrival will enable Torres to play more freely and reduce the goal-scoring burden from his shoulders. Suarez has a lethal eye for goal. He has scored 111 times in 159 games for the Dutch giants since joining them in 2007.

Birmingham snap up Davies, target Martins

England U-21 centre back Curtis Davies has completed a controversial switch from Aston Villa to Midlands rivals Birmingham City. The 25-year old former WBA stopper has signed a three and a half year deal with Alex McLeish’s club for a fee of around £1.75million, which could eventually rise upto £2.5million. Injury to first choice centre half Scott Dann has left Birmingham vulnerable at the back. The signing of Davies is sure to plug a few holes in the heart of  Birmingham’s back four.

Davies was not getting enough playing time at Villa Park with Collins, Dunne, Clark and Cuellar ahead of him in the pecking order. He spent a good part of this season on loan at Leicester City. He had the option of signing permanently with the Foxes but chose to join Birmingham instead.

After completing Davies’ signing, Birmingham have turned their attentions towards former Newcastle forward Obafemi Martins. The Nigerian international is available on loan from his Russian club Rubin Kazan. A fee of £350,000 should be enough to secure a loan deal till the end of the season.

Official: Babel completes Hoffenheim switch

The Ryan Babel saga finally seems to have come to a close. After agreeing a move away from Liverpool,  Dutch attacker has sealed a switch to Bundesliga club Hoffenheim and has signed a two and a half year deal. Hoffenheim made an offer of about £6 million which was accepted by the Merseyside club. The deal hit a snag when the German club were unable to meet Babel’s demands and it looked as if Babel would continue to warm the bench at Anfield. But, in a surprise turn of events, the German club was able to reconcile with the Dutch forward and he put pen to paper on a permanent deal.

Babel moved to Liverpool from Ajax in the summer of 2007 for a fee of £11.5 million. In his four years at the Anfield club, Babel made 91 appearances and scored only twelve times. Most of his appearances were off the subs’ bench and a move to Hoffenheim would ensure that he gets regular first team football.

Hoffenheim overcame late interest from Sunderland and Fulham to sign Babel. “We are very proud to be able to sign in Ryan Babel an internationally-experienced player from a top club like Liverpool. We are convinced that he is a big gain for us with his character traits and his sporting qualities,” the Hoffenheim manager said on the club’s official site.

Sunderland make Piquionne inquiry

Steve Bruce is actively scouting the market for a striker who will be Darren Bent’s replacement at the Stadium of Light. His search has taken him to West Ham where he is expected to make a £3.5 million bid for Hammers’ top scorer Frederic Piquionne. The former Monaco and Lyon striker would jump at the opportunity to move to Wearside instead of being involved in a relegation battle. Piquionne’s move to Sunderland could also depend on West Ham’s ability to sign either Demba Ba or Robbie Keane.

Sunderland were also exploring the possibility to sign Ricardo Fuller from Stoke. But with Tony Pulis refusing to budge on his valuation of the Jamaican striker, Steve Bruce turned his attention towards Piquionne.

Sunderland may also complete the loan signing of Sulley Muntari from Inter Milan. He could well be the third Ghana player at the club after Gyan Asamoah and John Mensah. “If everything is sorted out with Sunderland he will be going there. The other Ghana players at Sunderland – Asamoah Gyan and John Mensah – have told him about the club which has obviously played a part, ” Muntari’s agent said.

Official: Adebayor moves to Real Madrid on loan

Manchester City Football Club have confirmed on the official site that Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor has moved to Real Madrid on loan till the end of the season. The Spanish club has an unilateral option of signing the striker for a fee of £13 millon at the end of the season. City were reluctant to let go of Adebayor on a loan deal; they would have preferred a permanent move. His former club Monaco were interested in taking him back to France. But Real Madrid made a decisive call and agreed to pay the striker’s entire salary during his loan spell. Adebayor will fit right into the Madrid setup. Jose Mourinho has just one fit striker on his books in Karim Benzema and Manu would give him more options up front.

Adebayor moved to City from Arsenal in 2009. During his time at Eastlands, he scored 15 goals in 34 appearances. But he soon became surplus to requirements after training ground bust-ups and a fall-out with Roberto Mancini over his attitude in training. He has not made the City squad in the recent games and Roberto Mancini sanctioned his move after signing Edin Dzeko from Wolfsburg.

City are keep tabs on Dani Alves and David Ruiz as they look for a couple of reinforcements before the window draws to a close at the end of the month.

Wright-Phillips primed for Fulham switch

Fulham have inched closer to a deal to sign Shaun Wright-Phillips after Manchester City softened their stance on the England winger. City boss Roberto Mancini was adamant that he would let Wright-Phillips move only if a permanent deal was offered. But City seem to have agreed to a loan-deal with Fulham, wherein it would mandatory for Fulham to sign the player permanently at the end of the season if they avoid relegation. A fee around £4 million has been agreed for the transfer.

Mark Hughes is afraid to commit a large sum of money for Wright-Phillips while Fulham’s Premier League status hangs in the balance. A loan deal would see Wright-Phillips unite with Mark Hughes – the manager who signed him for Manchester City from Chelsea.

Hughes is also keen to re-sign Paul Konchesky from Liverpool. The England left-back has failed to settle at Anfield and could be a direct replacement for Mexican Carlos Salcido, who has looked far from convincing for the Cottagers.

Holloway refuses to part with Adam

Liverpool are the third English Premier League club to have a bid knocked back for Blackpool skipper Charlie Adam. The two Midlands clubs Aston Villa and Birmigham had earlier inquired about Adam but Blackpool boss Holloway rejected their bids, stating that they were ‘derisory’. Ian Holloway tore into Kenny Dalglish after the Scottish manager made a £4 million bid to sign Adam.

“I do not care if mighty Liverpool have made a bid for my captain and best player Charlie Adam – if they don’t improve it drastically or put a “1″ in front of it, then they can go and whistle. They have offered £4m, which I think is a disgrace,” the Blackpool boss said indicating that it would take a bid of around £14 million to prize Adam away from Bloomfield Road.

After playing for Rangers for seven years, Adam switched to Blackpool in 2009 for a then club record fee of £500,000. Since then, he has been pivotal in Blackpool’s progress northwards and has also taken over the captain’s armband. In 61 appearances at Bloomfield Road, Adam has notched up an impressive 19 goals. He has looked at ease in the Premier League and a lot of top Premiership sides would kill to have someone like him in their squad.
