Celtic: Carter-Vickers likely to sign

Tottenham defender Cameron Carter-Vickers is likely to sign for Celtic before the transfer window slams shut, according to The Daily Star.

The Lowdown: Carter-Vickers links

The Hoops have been linked with a move to bring the towering centre-back to Parkhead during the current window.

American journalist Larry Henry Jr has shared three updates on the 23-year-old’s future, all of which have name-checked Celtic with an interest.

His first cited the Hoops’ interest, the second suggested the race was down to Celtic, Bournemouth and Newcastle and the third appeared to take the Cherries out of the race.

The Latest: Newcastle interest

The Daily Star’s Aaron Rodgers shared a story regarding a number of Newcastle targets on Thursday lunchtime.

Within his report, Rodgers said Carter-Vickers is wanted by the Magpies. However, he then added that the USA international is ‘likely to join Celtic’ – an interesting four-word update.

The Verdict: A risk

Tottenham are confident they will receive £5m for Carter-Vickers this summer, despite the defender having less than 12 months left on his deal, and it seems as if the Hoops could be the side to match that figure going off recent reports.

Carter-Vickers, on £20,000-a-week with Spurs, has never played Premier League football, so if Celtic do pay Tottenham’s asking price, it could be a risky move.

Ange Postecoglou has just Carl Starfelt, Stephen Welsh and Osaze Urhoghide as fit senior centre-back options at the moment following Kris Ajer’s move to Brentford, so it does appear as if another defender is needed.

Carter-Vickers, who can also play as a right-back, could be that man according to The Daily Star, so it may well be a deal to keep a close eye on over the coming weeks.

Arsenal: Edu risks biggest mistake since Willian

Arsenal chief Edu Gaspar risks making his biggest mistake since the signing of Willian.

According to talkSPORT last week, the Gunners are set to submit a £30m bid for Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale after having two bids already knocked back by the Championship outfit.

“It is my understanding that Arsenal have made the Sheffield United ‘keeper their no.1 target. They’ve been linked with Sam Johnstone as well, but it’s all in now for Aaron Ramsdale,” claimed transfer expert Alex Crook.

“I’m told they’ve already had two bids rejected for the former Bournemouth goalkeeper and they are lining up a third.  The fee could be as much as £30million. That would be music to the ears of Bournemouth as they have a sell-on clause.”

If these reports are to be believed, then it’s clear that the Brazilian supremo has not learned from his previous mistakes.

This time last year, the North London giants sanctioned a swoop for then-free agent Willian. That has turned out to be a very expensive gamble, with the 32-year-old winger thought to be on around £220k-per-week, which was more than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, as per The Sun.

In return, the former Chelsea star scored just once in 37 appearances and provided only three assists after his impressive debut on the opening game of the season, coming in for some heavy criticism, and he’s now thought to be close to an exit.

There could be some similarities here with the £10.8m-rated Ramsdale.

Mikel Arteta already has a no.1 in Bernd Leno and sanctioned the exit of Emi Martinez last season, so there would have to be question marks over whether or not the Englishman would start between the sticks right away.

Spending £30m would therefore be a massive gamble to make, and that’s not considering the fact that he has been relegated twice in as many seasons.

At just 23, he’s far from reaching his peak as a goalkeeper, and undoubtedly he’s one for the future.

“He can become one of the best, especially in the country,” Everton goalkeeper Asmir Begovic claimed to talkSPORT. “He’s already proved that he can play at the highest level. He’s got a lot of potential still to fulfil.”

Jurgen Klopp has previously dubbed him “incredible” for his display against Liverpool, but as Gunners legend Nigel Winterburn has suggested, it’s a “huge amount of money” for someone who may not be an upgrade on Leno.

If Edu goes ahead with this deal, then he certainly will be putting his reputation on the line once again, especially as Arsenal could bolster so many other areas for that sum of money.

He must avoid repeating the same mistake twice.

LFC fans frustrated by James Pearce update

Some Liverpool supporters have been left frustrated by James Pearce’s update on Harvey Elliott, with many thinking it means a new signing won’t come in.

Elliott enjoyed a superb season in the Championship last season, shining on loan at Blackburn Rovers.

The 18-year-old chipped in with seven goals and 11 assists for Tony Mowbray’s side, thriving in the second tier thanks to his technical quality and unpredictability on the ball.

[freshpress-quiz id=“359326”]

Jurgen Klopp has the option of loaning out Elliott once more this summer, in order for him to gain more experience, but it looks as though that won’t happen.

According to The Athletic‘s Pearce [via LFC Transfer Room on Twitter], the young forward looks certain to take Xherdan Shaqiri’s place in the squad, with the Swiss playmaker expected to move on.

Celtic: Alasdair Gold drops Joe Hart claim

Reliable Tottenham reporter Alasdair Gold believes Joe Hart’s move to Celtic will go through, The Daily Record report.

The Lowdown: Hart not on Postecoglou’s list

Links to Hart emerged on Wednesday via transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

He claimed that Celtic and Spurs opened talks for a move for the 6 foot 4 goalkeeper, stating the next day that an agreement was close.

However, despite a deal seemingly progressing, reports have claimed that Hart is not a signing that Ange Postecoglou has personally requested.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/celtic-updates-11/” title=”Celtic updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Latest: Gold’s claim

The Daily Record shared a story on Friday evening looking at the state of play on numerous Hoops targets.

One of which was Hart, where they shared Gold’s comments on the £1.8m-rated shot-stopper.

Here’s what Gold, who has over 124,000 followers on Twitter, had to say, suggesting Celtic Park is likely to be Hart’s next destination.

“Looks like that’s going to happen now, looks like Celtic is going to be where he’s heading off to. He was told, I think it was just before the Colchester game, that he wasn’t in Nuno Espirito Santo’s plans for the coming season. That’s that, really.

“The difficulty, I think, for Celtic initially was certainly trying to cover his contract. I think there was a little bit of reluctance maybe, having just moved down south, to then suddenly uproot the family again and go back up. But it sounds like those bridges look to have been covered. It looks like Celtic’s going to be his destination.”

The Verdict: A strange move…

With Hart now looking likely to move to Scotland, it does seem a strange one, especially with the reports of him not being on Postecoglou’s list.

The Hoops boss spoke out on Friday regarding the goalkeeping situation, admitting ‘there are a number of priorities’.

He suggested Celtic would look at potential additions in goal if he thinks they can improve in that area, but it appears as if the club are acting on that already, possibly without his full seal of approval.

Wolves: Podence interesting Tottenham

This could be a long and arduous summer for Wolverhampton Wanderers if they face intense interest from elsewhere for their star players.

The Old Gold are restricted when it comes to finances and they will need to sell before they can significantly invest in the playing staff.

What’s the word?

Ruben Neves continues to attract the interest of Arsenal as his departure from Wolves look pretty inevitable this summer.

However, Bruno Lage also faces a battle to keep flashy winger Adama Traore at the club. Pedro Neto has been linked with a mega £50m move to Manchester United and Rui Patricio has already headed to pastures new.

There could also be a departure for Daniel Podence who is now fielding interest from Tottenham, according to reports.

Former Wolves boss Nuno Santo is now in charge of the Lilywhites and is preparing to make a proposal to his old employers in a bid to sign Podence.

The attacker currently earns £52k-per-week and is valued at £22.5m via Transfermarkt.

Get rid

If Spurs are genuinely interested in signing Podence then Wolves must be incredibly open to concluding a deal.

Their spending power is limited and if they can receive a tidy fee for a bit-part player they should grasp it with both hands.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-wolves-transfer-news-ceballos-zinchenko-euros-felix-lage” title=”Read the latest Wolves transfer news!”]

Wolves have already signed Trincao this summer and with his ability to play in a variety of forward areas, it could limit Podence’s overall game time.

The 25-year-old struggled last season, missing over 100 days of action due to a variety of injuries. He missed the conclusion of the campaign with a groin problem while sustaining thigh and shoulder issues in 2020/21.

Consequently, the Portuguese scored just three goals in 25 outings for the Old Gold.

Once dubbed a “phenomenal” player by Wolves reporter Tim Spiers, Podence was actually more of a frustration last term.

Of course, he struggled to find form due to his injuries but he feels like an expendable player in a window where the club needs to raise vital funds.

Rather than selling Neves or Traore, they should look to generate cash by selling Podence to Tottenham in the coming weeks.

A tricky and wily player on his day, he should, unfortunately, have no future under Lage at Molineux.

Combine his injuries and fitness with the arrival of Trincao and he looks rather doomed in the Midlands.

Worcestershire still on course to sign Allan Donald despite UCBSA doubts

Reports coming from South Africa that Worcestershire’s attempts to sign Allan Donald as a replacement for their overseas player Andy Bichel had run into trouble have been dismissed by the county as no more than a technical hitch

Reports coming from South Africa that Worcestershire’s attempts to sign Allan Donald as a replacement for their overseas player Andy Bichel had run into trouble have been dismissed by the county as no more than a technical hitch. Worcestershire have gone through the right channels, but the information had not permeated to all levels of the United Cricket Board of South Africa’s administration.Bichel was selected for Australia’s proposed series against Pakistan in June and Donald has been signed on a short-term contract as his replacement. However, Gerald Majola, chief executive of the UCBSA, admitted that he had been unaware of the situation with Worcestershire until the announcement that Donald had signed for them.”There is a very specific clause in the players contracts that precludes them from working for another employer without permission, and Allan hasn’t spoken to me,” Majola said.He was also unaware that Donald has been turning out for Birmingham League club Knowle and Dorridge as a professional. “That’s news to me. He should have sought permission,” Majola said before conceding that it is not out of the question that the bowler might yet play county cricket.”If he asks permission then I will consult the national physiotherapist Craig Smith to get a report on his physical fitness. If Craig says he is fit then we would consider releasing him.”The main concern of the South Africans is that Donald, at 36 years of age, should conserve his energies to spearhead their attack in the World Cup that takes place on home soil in 2003. Similar concerns were expressed when captain Shaun Pollock was allowed to play for Warwickshire this season.Speaking to CricInfo, Worcestershire chief executive Mark Newton is confident that the matter will be resolved shortly. “We have done everything we were supposed to do and expect confirmation of Allan’s availability at any time now.”It appears that Donald himself spoke to the new chairman of selectors, Omar Henry, while the club contacted Brian Basson, the director of cricket operations in South Africa. However, a breakdown in communications at the UCBSA meant that the chief executive was not fully apprised of the situation when making his comments.

West Ham fans flock to Yarmolenko claim

According to a report by Turkish newspaper Fotomac, via Sport Witness, Super Lig giants Galatasaray could open official talks to sign West Ham United forward Andriy Yarmolenko.

Yarmolenko barely featured for the Hammers over 2020/2021 due to a combination of injury problems and falling further down the pecking order.

Indeed, the Ukrainian finished last campaign with just one Premier League start – with his main contributions coming in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup competitions early on.

Nevertheless, he continues to be a drain on the wage books at West Ham and their highest earner overall – taking home a reported £115,000-per-week.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/west-ham-latest-news-2/” title=”West Ham latest news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

As a result, with this news emerging of Galatasaray’s intentions, many Hammers fans are eager to see Yarmolenko leave the London Stadium three years after his arrival.

Flocking to the development on social media, Irons supporters dropped a variety of takes on the 94-cap international – find all of their best ones down below.

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa wants six new signings

Leeds United fans should be buzzing with the latest transfer update to emerge from Thorp Arch.

What’s the story?

Having ended the Premier League season in superb style – Marcelo Bielsa’s side racked up four wins on the bounce to finish in the top-half of the table – all eyes will be on how the Whites go about strengthening their squad.

And, according to Football Insider, they’re intent on really refreshing the team with a host of additions.

A Leeds source has claimed that not only will the club step up their efforts to sign Club Brugge starlet Noa Lang, but “Marcelo Bielsa has also sanctioned the club to work on deals for a new left-back, specialist central midfield cover for Kalvin Phillips, a back-up goalkeeper and potentially a centre-forward who can compete with Patrick Bamford.”

Fans will be buzzing

If Bielsa gets his way, and there should be no reason for him not to given the kind of success he has enjoyed at Elland Road over the years, then Leeds fans could be looking at the arrivals of six new signings this summer.

What will please Whites supporters the most is the areas in which they are reportedly planning on strengthening too.

Bringing in that much-needed cover for England international Kalvin Phillips will no doubt be crucial, especially given how they performed without him in the team – in the nine Premier League games that he missed, they won just twice.

And, adding in a striker to compliment Patrick Bamford will ease the goal-scoring burden on the striker and allow Bielsa to give him a rest here or there to ensure he doesn’t get burned out.

After the success of the last summer transfer window, which saw the likes of Raphinha and Diego Llorente join the club among others, Leeds fans will be relishing the prospect of Bielsa and Victor Orta getting their heads together to find these six new players for their squad.

Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano has dropped a major Leeds United update…
