THE WORLD CUP is a distant memory at this stage meaning Premier League enthusiasts only have transfer speculation, pre-season friendlies and the odd European fixture to keep you going until the season starts in a couple of weeks. However, QPR boss Harry Redknapp, a man who knows a thing or two about buying and selling players, is here to help us with a daily round-up of the biggest and best rumours from around Europe.
The Bes is yet to come: Everton have wrapped up the signing of 21 year-old Bosnian defensive midfielder Muhamed Besic. He arrives on a five-year deal from Ferencvaros having impressed with his performances at the World Cup.
Jay and Silent Morg Strike Back: Southampton look set to lose another two key players with attacker Jay Rodriguez and midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin inching ever closer to teaming up with ex-boss Mauricio Pochettino at Spurs. Some reports are suggesting The Saints will charge £35m for the pair.
Arsenal’s full-back drawback: With the Gunners having already brought in two right-backs already this summer, Carl Jenkinson’s first-team opportunities look to be virtually non-existent so the 22 year-old will move elsewhere on loan for the forthcoming campaign. West Ham are at the top of the queue.
Fell To Prepare, Prepare to Fell: After a dismal first season at Manchester United, midfielder Maroune Fellaini is in talks with Napoli over a possible loan deal. It’s believed the Belgian isn’t part of Louis van Gaal’s plans and is open to teaming up with Rafael Benitez in Italy.
Kag Swag: The cull at Old Trafford may not stop with Fellaini though. Louis van Gaal is still uncertain as to whether he should keep Shinji Kagawa or not.
Cech Mate for Petr and Fernando: With Didier Drogba re-joining Chelsea, the Premier League club has exceeded its limit of foreign players. Clubs can only name 17 foreigners over the age of 21 in their official 25-man squad but Chelsea now have 18. Reports suggest Petr Cech and Fernando Torres are the favourites to leave.
Rolls Reus: Premier League clubs are on high-alert as Marco Reus digs in his heels at Borussia Dortmund and turns down a new deal with the club.
Vidal (Gone) So Soon: Arturo won’t leave Juventus unless he demands a move, says the Italian champions as rumours of a switch to Manchester United just won’t go away.
Au revoir joie, bonjour tristesse: Gifted diminutive midfielder Mathieu Valbuena is leaving Marseille behind and swapping Marcelo Bielsa for Sam Allardyce.
Magpies up all night to get Loic-y: After the French striker’s proposed move to Liverpool fell through, Newcastle want to sweep in and offer Remy a familiar route out of Loftus Road – a season long loan at St. James’ Park.
On the wings of an Angel: Di Maria’s move to PSG is a done deal, by all accounts and it could end up being a record Real Madrid sale.
