Transfer Roundup: Trippier on the Move, Sander Berge in Line for United
It’s been another chaotic week in the world of transfers, with several top clubs vying for their targets. West Ham and Manchester United are at the forefront, with the Hammers eyeing a right-back and the Red Devils looking to poach a top midfielder.
Trippier on the Move
West Ham are reportedly interested in securing the services of Newcastle right-back Kieran Trippier. The England international is a top-rated defender, with 120 caps to his name. At 33, he still has several years left at the top, but his future at Newcastle is uncertain. West Ham could snatch him up for a potentially lucrative move.
United’s $100k-a-Week Play
Meanwhile, Manchester United have got their sights set on Sander Berge, the Norwegian midfielder plying his trade at Burnley. Berge’s got a knack for goal-scoring, with 16 strikes in 134 appearances for Burnley. United want to tempt him with a whopping $100,000-a-week contract – a deal that would dwarf his current package.
Omorodion Bound for Stamford Bridge
After agreeing a $35m fee with Atletico Madrid, Chelsea will soon complete the signing of Spanish attacker Samu Omorodion. The 20-year-old has already arrived in London and will undergo his medical in the coming days.
LFC Closing in on Zubimendi
In a tantalizing transfer battle, Liverpool seem to be gaining the upper hand over Real Sociedad for talented midfielder Martin Zubimendi. The 25-year-old Spain international will reportedly accept a move to Anfield, pending agreement between clubs.
Chelsea’s Chalobah a Hot Ticket
West Ham aren’t the only ones keen on snagging Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah. Premier League rivals Everton and Wolves also have their eyes on the 26-year-old defender. And did you hear, Crystal Palace are even gunning for his signature?
Hues of Lacroix Interest
Crystal Palace’s pursuit of Chalobah, it seems, won’t be the end of their transfer tussles. They’re now eyeing French defender Maxence Lacroix, 24, from Wolfsburg. As a centre-back option, he’s got loads of potential.
Loan Option in Scotland
In a piece of news that could spark Scottish football excitement, Rangers have requested a loan for 19-year-old academy midfielder Leo Castledine from Chelsea. His compatriots at Aberdeen are sniffing around, too.
