HERE’S YOUR DAILY dose of transfer gossip from the madness of the summer transfer window and who better to guide us through the latest wheelin’ and dealin’s than ‘Arry himself.
Just don’t use the words wheelin’ or dealin’, alright?
Smart move: The Liverpool Echo are reporting that Norwich City are close to signing Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom on a season-long loan deal. The 22-year-old defender spent last season on loan at West Brom.
Adieu Adebayor: Crystal Palace have made a late attempt to sign Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor from Spurs, according to the Telegraph. But the 31-year-old is expected to instead join Aston Villa on season-long loan deal and link up with former manager Tim Sherwood.
Que Salah, Salah: Chelsea’s Egypt midfielder Mohamed Salah, 23, is set to complete a loan move to Italian side Roma.
Cut price: Mario Balotelli could be set for a return to Italy but only if Liverpool lower their valuation of the 24-year-old. The Daily Mail report that Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero thinks £7.1m is too high for a player that Liverpool forked out £16m for last summer.
Di Maria drama continues: It’s being reported by several media outlets that Manchester United’s Argentine midfielder Angel Di Maria is close to agreeing a move to Paris St-Germain. The Guardian say that the French club have bid £28.5m for the 27-year-old that joined United for £59.7m last summer.
Right said Ped: Louis Van Gaal may have already identified a replacement for Di Maria if Spanish newspaper Marca is to be believed. They claim that United are preparing an offer in the region of £18m for Barcelona winger Pedro and are prepared to pay up to £23m.
Another Irish international on the move? Everton midfielder James McCarthy is disillusioned at Goodison Park and will open talks with Spurs about a move to White Hart Lane, according to the Daily Mirror.
Top target: Arsenal are interested in bringing Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets to the Emirates, according to Spanish publication Sport. Arsene Wenger has a shortlist of players he wants and the Spain international is top of the list.
Double deal: Spurs are plotting to raid Manchester United for winger Ashley Young and striker Javier Hernandez, according to the Daily Mirror. They claim Spurs will step up their interest for Hernandez as soon as Adebayor leaves for Villa.
