Delfouneso to join Leicester on loan

January 23, 2012

Aston Villa’s Nathan Delfouneso has agreed to join Leicester City on a month long loan. Delfouneso, whom manager Alex McLeish agreed to let go of after the arrival of Robbie Keane, trained with his Leicester team mates yesterday. The deal’s not officially been announced but the youngster could make his Foxes debut as early as today evening when the Foxes play Southampton.

The 20 year old Delfouneso has represented England at various youth levels and can play both as a striker or an attacking winger. Born in Birmingham, he is a product of the Villa youth academy and made his European debut for them aged just 17.

However appearances have become tough for Delfouneso this season- he has started only twice under new gaffer Alex McLeish.

Rangers and West Ham open talks over Jelavic

January 21, 2012

Rangers and West Ham United have begun talks over a potential transfer of Croatian hitman Nikica Jelavic. Rangers were holding out for £10m for their star marksman but have now indicated willingness to step down and negotiate.

Sources indicate that the Hammers were prepared to offer £6m for Jelavic, an amount that Rangers have said is too low a valuation for their most valuable asset. West Ham boss Sam Allarydce had turned his attention to Jelavic after cooling his interest in Huddersfield’s Jordan Rhodes as he aims to get the London outfit back in the Premier League.

However the Hammers face competition from the likes of Sunderland, QPR and Liverpool, all of whom have been linked with a move for Jelavic this January.

Forest receive bid from rivals for key defender

January 20, 2012

Nottingham Forest have received a bid for defender Wes Morgan from league rivals Leicester City. Morgan, a key figure at the City Ground, is out of contract in the summer and Forest may be willing to get something out of the deal instead of losing him for nothing at the end of the season.

Leicester had made a £500,000 bid for Morgan last week but had it rejected by Forest and have now come up with an improved bid for the 27 year old.

Morgan has been with Forest for all his playing career, barring one small spell on loan at Kidderminster Harriers, and has gone on to make over 350 appearances at the City Ground.

January 19, 2012

Rangers striker John Fleck has agreed a loan switch to Championship outfit Blackpool. The striker will now stay at Bloomfield Road for the rest of the 2011/12 season. The 20 year old was farmed out on loan by Ibrox boss Ally McCoist to gain more first team experience. Fleck made only five appearances for the Gers during the current season and the loan reunites him with former Rangers stars Barry Ferguson and Danny Wilson.

Blackpool faced competition from Sheffield United for Fleck’s services but the striker chose the Seasiders over the Blades, who are in League One. Fleck could make his Blackpool debut as early as this weekend, when Ian Holloway’s side face Crystal Palace in the league.

Canaries inch closer to Howson capture

January 18, 2012

Norwich City have moved closer to the capture of Leeds United captain Jonny Howson after they agreed a fee with the Whites for his transfer. Leeds reluctantly accepted the bid for the 23 year old, whose contract at Elland Road expires at the end of the 11/12 season.

The Whites announced on their official website that Howson wanted to play Premier League football and they were forced to accept a bid from the Canaries instead of losing him for nothing come June.

Howson is the latest in a list of players to try and leave Elland Road even as the Whites try to return to the top flight, and looks set to follow in the footsteps of Neil Kilkenny, Bradley Johnson, Jermaine Beckford and Max Gradel.

Personal terms are yet to be agreed between Howson and Norwich though.

January 17, 2012

Portsmouth’s veteran Icelandic defender Hermann Hreidarsson has completed his switch from Fratton Park to Championship rivals Coventry City. Hreidarsson, 37, has signed a deal that will keep him at the Ricoh Arena till the end of the current 2011/12 season.

He however appeared only twice for Pompey in the 11/12 season as he was deemed surplus to requirements by gaffer Michael Appleton.
