Likely torpedoes Eze, too Once again, big thanks to the bloke currently in charge of Fenerbahce who decided we didn't need to sign him...
Archie Grey would cost a fraction of that, and be a more useful squad player given he can play DM, CM and RB
I don’t know much about Gray but I really don’t rate Gallagher, wouldn’t want him for £20 million yet alone being the marquee signing of the summer
The main takeaway about Gray is he's a DM, but a good enough utility player that he was keeping Djed Spence out of Leeds' team for the first half of last season
Football Italia are linking us with Fiorentina RB Michael Kayode Would now be a bad time to mention that I suggested we look at him months ago?
Alasdair Gold has said who is and isn't on our striker shortlist On the List Jonathan David (Lille) Duran Vlahovic (Juventus, albeit as Paratici is a fan) Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting, albeit with reservations about his price tag) Not on the List Ivan Tondy (Brentford) Lois Openda (Monster Energy Dusseldorf) Federico Chiesa (Juventus) Joshua Zirkzee (Bologna) Serhou Guirassy (Stuttgart) No Longer on the List Santiago Gimenez (Feyenoord) Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth)
Those ever-reliable Turkish sources claim Sebastian Szymanski has agreed personal terms on a four-year contract, though Fenerbahce are quibbling on our offer of €17.5m
Looks like Jacob Ramsey is on the shortlist, with Gary Jacob claiming we offered £20m + Lo Celso and Dan KP is claiming we're preparing another bid as Villa value Ramsey in the £40-50m band...because the previous bid was made three weeks ago and nobody noticed In other news, Di Marzio claims we offered cash + Richarlison for Alexander Isak, no doubt hoping to tempt him with the lure of actually playing European football next season...although Richy has said this rumour is fake
