Man Utd fans have been given reason to get excited after a video emerged of Jadon Sancho trying to be convinced over a move to Old Trafford.

The video below was posted by Link Up TV presenter Harry Pinero, while Dave the rapper was also mentioned with the video being shared on Twitter by various United fan accounts.

It shows the Borussia Dortmund star enjoying himself while on his break from football before pre-season gets underway, before it’s noted that they’re trying to convince the England starlet to move back to Manchester, but this time to join up with United.

As noted by The Sun, the Red Devils has been linked with a swoop for the 19-year-old for some time, although he is said to be valued at £70m and so it remains to be seen if they are willing to splash out such a huge fee for him.

There doesn’t seem to be a great deal of doubt among the supporters though based on the reaction to the video below, and the overriding response was ultimately one of excitement over the possibility of Sancho joining the club.

Given he’s coming off the back of a stellar campaign in the Bundesliga, there is real intrigue over how far Sancho can go and he’s being tipped for a very bright future for club and country moving forward.

This video certainly won’t stop the speculation, as he didn’t appear to do much in the way of dismissing the suggestion of a possible switch to Man Utd either…

Confirmed: Chelsea complete deal for summer signing in touted £40m move.

Confirmed: Chelsea complete deal for summer signing in touted £40m move

CHELSEA FC

By Kelvin

Chelsea have officially announced that they’ve signed Mateo Kovacic on a permanent basis after spending last season on loan from Real Madrid.

As noted by BBC Sport, it’s suggested that the deal will cost the Blues £40m, and while question marks will be raised given their transfer ban this summer, they have been able to work around it in this instance.

It’s added in that report that they didn’t need to re-register Kovacic as their player given his loan spell last season, although it’s assumed that the agreement to sign him outright was done before June 30, as per the report’s suggestion that it was necessary to circumvent UEFA’s ruling.

The 25-year-old didn’t have the most decisive of seasons last year, as he managed no goals and just two assists in 51 appearances for Chelsea, with former boss Maurizio Sarri evidently relying on him heavily.

Following his departure for Juventus last month, that would have perhaps raised further doubts on Kovacic’s future, but ultimately with the transfer ban in mind, perhaps Chelsea felt as though they had no option but to keep the Croatian international on to ensure that they have enough next season to compete across multiple fronts.

As per the club’s official site, Kovacic has signed a five-year contract with the Premier League giants, while it remains to be seen if Frank Lampard had an influence on matters as BBC Sport note that he continues to be heavily linked with a return to Stamford Bridge this summer to be named as Sarri’s successor.

The 41-year-old will surely have had a say if he is set to get the job, as he will want to keep or sell players who suit his plans and ideas moving forward.

Got a ban but we’ll spend more than Arsenal’ – These Chelsea fans troll rivals after Kovacic announcement

Posted by  Kelvin

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Mateo Kovacic from Real Madrid on a permanent basis, and their fans were delighted with the news.

As noted by BBC Sport, it is believed that the deal will cost the Blues a £40m fee as they are able to circumvent UEFA’s transfer ban given that the Croatian international was on loan with them last season.

It has been suggested that Arsenal may only have around £40m to spend in the summer transfer window in total, as per the Mirror, and so some Chelsea fans, as seen in the tweets below, couldn’t help but troll their rivals after the deal was confirmed on Monday.

Others called for Frank Lampard’s return to be announced as the Derby County boss is being heavily linked with being appointed Maurizio Sarri’s successor this summer, as per BBC Sport, while others lauded the move for Kovacic as he could prove to be a vital figure next season and beyond.

Although the former Inter and Real Madrid star didn’t have a decisive impact last year, he was a crucial presence in the squad to help them compete on multiple fronts.

With an inability to add further reinforcements this summer, it’s arguably a sensible decision from Chelsea to make his move a permanent one, and it seems as though many fans are delighted that the club have found a way to make a signing despite the ban.

In addition, they were particularly keen to make a point of the fact that they’re still making moves while the wait goes on for Arsenal and Spurs to strengthen.

Can’t really understand why people think this is such a bad signing to make, 25 years old, lots of experience already and had a few really strong performances throughout the season although not consistent enough, can also play different positions within the midfield.

Bid made: Arsenal fall well short of £80m valuation for top target as pursuit ‘getting ugly’ says journalist

Bid made: Arsenal fall well short of £80m valuation for top target as pursuit ‘getting ugly’ says journalist

ARSENAL FC

Posted by Kelvin 

Arsenal have reportedly made a £40m offer for Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha, which is nowhere near his touted price-tag this summer.

The Gunners are coming off the back of a disappointing campaign in which they failed to break back into the top four in the Premier League and fell short in the Europa League final to be left trophyless.

With that in mind, Unai Emery will be desperate to see reinforcements arrive this summer to bolster his squad and give them a better chance next season, but ultimately it could prove to be very difficult to bring in his top target.

According to The Sun, Arsenal have made a £40m offer for Zaha, but with Crystal Palace said to be valuing the 26-year-old at closer to £80m, that is significantly short of being enough to convince them to sell regardless of his reported desire to make the move to the Emirates.

It’s noted that Arsenal are said to only have around £45m to spend this summer, and so it’s certainly difficult to see how they will be able to match Palace’s demands.

Meanwhile, highly respected BBC Sport journalist David Ornstein has delivered a bit more insight into the matter and has revealed that Arsenal’s pursuit of Zaha is ‘getting predictably ugly’ while no players have been offered as part of a swap deal, as per his tweet below.

As per @SkyKaveh Arsenal have submitted opening bid for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha. No players offered yet as part of proposed deal. Will be rejected & is getting predictably ugly. As previously reported Zaha wants to join #AFC & Emery wants him but #CPFC want huge money

— David Ornstein (@bbcsport_david) July 1, 2019

In turn, it remains to be see how the situation plays out as although there is still a long way to go this summer, the Gunners have decisions to make as they won’t want to waste time chasing Zaha if a deal isn’t likely while spending their entire reported budget on one player doesn’t sound like a smart move either.

Especially after their porous defence let in 51 goals in 38 Premier League games last season, giving them the second worst defensive record of the top nine sides, there is a need to strengthen elsewhere too besides with Zaha.

LIVERPOOL FC

Posted by meekparagon

Liverpool have reportedly made a £54million bid for Sporting Lisbon attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes.

The Reds have long been linked with the Portugal international after his tremendous record of 28 goals and 14 assists in the 2018/19 season, and it looks like he may finally be closer to completing a move to Anfield.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham have also all been linked with Fernandes, but it seems Liverpool have always been in the driving seat for the deal.

As explained in a detailed account from a reliable source below, it’s claimed Liverpool were set to bid £54m for the 24-year-old yesterday evening, and that that offer would be accepted.

Have a few final updates on Bruno Fernandes. Before I begin I want to apologise for getting some of my information wrong. One of the most bizarre transfer stories in recent memory in a lot of ways. Misjudged the timing of the deal.

— JurgenHead (@JurgenHead) June 30, 2019

This has now passed and it’s expected that Fernandes himself will now finalise his contract and complete the move after he returns from holiday.

This latest report also follows the player himself hinting to a fan that he’d choose LFC this summer and that he was hopeful of the deal being done.

It remains to be seen precisely how reliable this Twitter user is, but the level of detail in his report suggests he must know something and have contacts with a good understanding of the situation.

REAL MADRID CF

Posted by Kelvin one hour ago

Real Madrid have been busy splashing out on rebuilding their squad this summer, but it could now be followed by player sales to balance the books.

The Spanish giants have already confirmed the signings of Luka Jovic, Eden Hazard, Ferland Mendy and Eder Militao this summer, with Zinedine Zidane looking to oversee an overhaul at the Bernabeu after their bitterly disappointing campaign last time out.

Having ended the season empty-handed, Los Blancos will be desperate to avoid a repeat next year, and so it’s not come as a surprise to see them spend big on bringing in reinforcements.

However, whether it’s to balance the books or to bring in more cash to give to Zidane to continue his spending, the latest reports suggest that there will be exits coming too.

According to Mundo Deportivo, six names are in line to move on, with one of the touted deals having been officially confirmed already after Mateo Kovacic’s permanent move to Chelsea was completed.

That deal alone is said to have brought in €50m for Real Madrid, as per the report above, while Raul de Tomas, James Rodriguez, Theo Hernandez, Borja Mayoral and Martin Odegaard are all being tipped to follow him out of the exit door to bring in over €155m in total.

Time will tell if those deals go through as planned and if the numbers are accurate, but it would certainly be a masterstroke from the club if they do as those are all players surplus to requirements in the Spanish capital and so it would make a huge amount of sense to offload and cash in where possible.

With the signings that have already been made alone, Real Madrid look to be in a much stronger position already to compete next season, but with the backing of more spending power from these sales, they could yet get even stronger.
