Spurs to rival Gunners for Vertonghen signing
February 19, 2012
According to reports in the press, Tottenham Hotspur will go head to head with North London rivals Arsenal in the summer for Ajax’s highly rated Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen. Arsenal want Vertonghen to be reunited with former club mate Thomas Vermaelen at the Emirates Stadium as they seek to mount a title challenge next season, but Spurs are viewing him as a possible replacement for inspirational but injury prone defender Ledley King, whose deal expires at the end of the current season
Vertonghen, who has also been linked with Newcastle United, is a versatile defender who can also double up as a defensive midfielder. The 24 year old is valued at somewhere around £10m.

City set to beat United to Gaitan signature
February 18, 2012
Manchester City are set to beat rivals Manchester United to the signature of Benfica’s Nicolas Gaitan in the summer by flexing their financial muscle. Argentine star Gaitan has a release clause written into his contract and City are hoping to land him in the summer by simply meeting Benfica’s asking price, reported to be around the £35m mark, instead of entering into a bidding war with United for his services.
Gaitan is set to leave Benfica in the summer and his destination could well be decided by which one of the two Manchester giants win the Premier League this season.

PSG target Suarez
February 17, 2012
French giants Paris Saint-Germain, backed by their wealthy owners, are willing to give Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez an escape route out of Anfield. Suarez has been under a cloud of controversy in recent times and was publicly condemned by Liverpool’s owners for not shaking Patrice Evra’s hands when Liverpool met Manchester United in a recent fixture.
PSG are hoping that their defender Diego Lugano, Suarez’s Uruguayan international team-mate, can help them land the services of the temperamental, but talented 24 year old striker.
Suarez has arguably been Liverpool’s player of the season so far, and the Reds have struggled to create notable chances when he is not on the field.

The 20 year old, who led his national team to World Cup glory last August, has agreed to join the Lilywhites on loan, with a view to a permanent move in the summer. A work permit is not expected to be a problem for Uvini as he reportedly holds an Italian passport.
If Uvini impresses coaches sufficiently at White Hart Lane during his three month stint, it is understood that Spurs will pay Sao Paulo a little over £3m to make the switch permanent.

February 10, 2012
According to reports in the Spanish press, Real Madrid are set to spark off a bidding war for in form Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie by tabling an £30m offer for him in the summer.

Madrid are also prepared to offer Gonzalo Higuain in exchange if Arsenal want him, although London neighbours Chelsea’s interest in the Argentine hitman is well known.

United target Sneijder says he could have joined Red Devils in the winter window
February 9, 2012
Manchester United target Wesley Sneijder has revealed that he could have joined the Red Devils in the recently concluded winter transfer window if they had come calling for him. Sneijder was a prime target for Sir Alex Ferguson in the summer but his wages, coupled with England’s tax structure, proved to be a stumbling point in the deal.
Sneijder said, ” If on the last day of the transfer window an offer had arrived, maybe I would have left”
He also admitted that his immediate future was at Inter but he wasn’t sure whether he would be at the San Siro next season. European champions under Jose Mourinho, Inter are fifth in the league and have a fight to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Blackburn star could be set for German move in summer
February 5, 2012
Blackburn’s impressive young star Junior Hoilett could be set for a shock move to Germany in the summer instead of staying in England. Sources claim that FC Bayern are interested in him and have made contact with his father for a free transfer switch at the end of the current season. Hoilett’s contract at Blackburn is over at the end of the 11/12 season and a move to Bayern will see him join his younger brother Jaineil, who plays for Mainz, in Germany.
Hoilett was a reported target for both Spurs and Liverpool in the winter window but Blackburn slapped a heavy price tag on him in order to keep him in their fight to avoid relegation. Rovers were thrashed 7-1 by Arsenal in their last game.
