Swansea inch closer to competing Routledge transfer

Swansea City are close to completing the signing of Wayne Routledge after agreeing a fee with Newcastle United for the winger’s services. The Swans and the Magpies have reportedly reached an agreement for £1.5m and the Welsh club are expected to officially announce Routledge’s transfer after he undergoes a medical tomorrow.

Routledge joined Newcastle from Queens Park Rangers in early 2010 but has struggled to hold down a regular spot at St.James’ Park. He spent the latter half of the 10/11 season on loan at QPR.

Birmingham City, Leicester City and Nottingham Forest were also interested in Routledge’s services but the winger seems poised for a move to Premier League newboys Swansea instead of a switch to a Championship club.

Trotters hope to take Sturridge on loan again

According to media reports, Bolton Wanderers are looking at the possibility of again bringing Daniel Sturridge on loan from Chelsea. The 21 year old spent the latter half of the 10/11 season on loan at the Reebok and impressed one and all with his performances, netting eight times in 12 appearances for the Trotters.

Sturridge has been impressive for Chelsea in their pre-season performances and netted a fabulous goal in their recent 4-0 win over Hong Kong outfit Kitchee. However the presence of both Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres may ensure that Sturridge have to be content with warming the bench at Stamford Bridge. The guarantee of regular football at Bolton and a possible shot at national football with England may be enough to lure Sturridge back to the North West.

Hammers sign Joey O’Brien

West Ham United have completed the signing of Irish midfielder Joey O’Brien on a free transfer. O’Brien was a free agent after being released by Bolton Wanderers at the end of the 10/11 season and had spent the last few weeks training with the Hammers. He now becomes West Ham’s fourth signing of the summer after Kevin Nolan, Abdoulaye Faye and Matt Taylor.

O’Brien started his career with Bolton and has been with the Trotters since 2004. However his career at the Reebok Stadium has been hampered by injuries. He has also had two loan spells with Sheffield Wednesday.

O’Brien has been capped three times by the Republic of Ireland but has never played for the national team under new manager Giovani Trapattoni.

West Brom and Birmingham City swap keepers

West Bromwich Albion and Birmingham City have swapped keepers, with Ben Foster moving to the Hawthorns and Boaz Myhill going in the opposite direction to St.Andrew’s. Both transfers are loans and will be till the end of the 2011/2012 season. Neither loan deal has a recall clause present, meaning that Foster and Myhill will not be returning to their parent clubs till next season.

Both West Brom and Birmingham were looking for goalkeeper reinforcements following the departures of Scott Carson and Maik Taylor respectively. Carson moved to Bursaspor while Taylor is currently a free agent following his release from Blues.

Foster’s first game at West Brom will be a Premier League opener against defending champions Manchester United, his former club.

PNE sign Turner

Preston North End have completed the signing of Iain Turner on a free transfer. Scottish goalkeeper Turner has signed a one year contract with the Lilywhites after rejecting the offer of a new deal at Everton. Turner, who spent three months on loan at Deepdale last season, also had offers from Sheffield United and Charlton Athletic, but chose to opt for the Lilywhites.

The transfer brings to an end Preston boss Phil Brown’s summer long pursuit of Turner, whom he had identified as his choice for the keeper’s role at Deepdale.

With Andrew Lonergan sold to Leeds, Turner is expected to stand under the sticks at PNE, with Andreas Arestidou and Dominic Cromie providing cover for the 27 year old. Turner had joined Everton way back in 2003, but struggled to win down a first team spot at Goodison Park. He was sent off with minutes of making his Premier League debut against Blackburn.

Tangerines accept Hoops bid for Campbell

Blackpool have accepted a bid from Queens Park Rangers for DJ Campbell and have now given the Hoops permission to talk to the striker. Campbell, who was recently given the last squad number ( No.39) by the Tangerines despite rumours linking him with a move away from Bloomfield Road, will now discuss personal terms ahead of a move to the reigning Championship champions.

Campbell reportedly has a clause in his contract that allows any club willing to stump up £1.25m permission to discuss personal terms for a transfer. QPR have activated that clause and are hopeful of bringing him to Loftus Road.

QPR are playing in the top flight for the first time in 1996 after being crowned Npower Championship champions last season.

Sergio Aguero completes Man City switch

Argentine striker Sergio Aguero has completed his switch to Manchester City. City have paid a reported £38m+ to Atletico Madrid for the services of Aguero, who is the son-in-law of Argentine legend Diego Maradona. City have not officially announced the transfer yet, but Aguero has tweeted that he is already a City player.

Aguero thus becomes City’s most expensive signing ever, eclipsing the £32.5m the club paid for Robinho in the summer of 2008.

The transfer brings to an end Aguero’s five year association with Atletico in which he cemented his reputation as one of the world’s best upcoming strikers. He crossed the 20 goal mark in four of the five seasons he spent with Los Colchoneros.

Only 23, Aguero is viewed by the mandarins at City as the ideal replacement for homesick compatriot Carlos Tevez, who is expected to leave Eastlands this summer.

Bantams bring in Liverpool’s Hansen

Bradford City have completed the signing of Liverpool keeper Martin Hansen on an initial month long loan deal. The young Danish stopper moves to the Bantams to provide cover for regular keeper Jon McLaughlin and may extend his loan spell if all goes well. The arrival of Hansen provides relief for Bradford boss Peter Jackson, who has been looking to shore up that position all summer.

This is the first spell outside Anfield for Hansen, who joined the Reds in 2006. The 21 year old also played a part in Liverpool’s recent pre-season friendly against Hull City, an exhibition match which Kenny Dalglish’s side lost.

Bradford will kick off their league campaign against Aldershot on August 9.

Byrne joins Bournemouth on loan

Young Tottenham defender Nathan Byrne has agreed to join AFC Bournemouth on loan. The Cherries have taken the 19 year old on loan for the entire duration of the 2011/2012 season as he looks to garner valuable first team experience.

A versatile right sided footballer who can play in both midfield and defence, Byrne was signed by Spurs from St. Albans City in 2008. He had a loan spell with both Brentford in the latter half of the 2010/2011 season. In his three months with the Bees, he made 11 appearances and was praised by the club’s manager for his stand out performance against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Byrne is yet to make a first team appearance for Spurs.

Lita set for Swans move

Striker Leroy Lita is on the verge of a move to Premier League newboys Swansea City after Middlesbrough accepted a bid from the Welsh outfit for the 26 year old. Boro accepted Swansea’s reported £1.75m for the Congo born forward and have given him permission to discuss personal terms with the Swans.

A product of the Chelsea youth system, Lita started his professional career with Bristol City and spent three years with them before transferring to Reading. At the Madjeski, he had loan spells at Charlton and Norwich and was eventually sold to Middlesbrough in 2009.

He scored twelve goals for Boro in the Championship last season.

Boro manager Tony Mowbray has however said that the move is far from being completed and added that there was every possibility the striker would still be at the Riverside next season.
