Nemanja Vidic has given David Moyes and the Manchester United hierarchy his backing as they deny Wayne Rooney a move and he believes they will bring the transfer saga to a satisfactory conclusion.
Another update on Aston Villa striker Darren Bent, and he is on the verge of joining Fulham on loan with current boss Paul Lambert insisting the forward will leave his club on good terms.
"He's just away down to Fulham," said the Villa boss. "I think it's well-documented now that he's down there having a medical and that's the last I've heard."
Arsenal's transfer woes continue as Luiz Gustavo joins Wolfsburg from Bayern Munich
Arsenal have been beaten to the punch one again after Wolfsburg completed the signing of Brazil international Luiz Gustavo from Bayern Munich for an undisclosed fee.
The 26-year-old defensive midfielder, who had been linked with Arsenal, will be officially presented as a Wolfsburg player at a press conference today having already signed a five-year contract.
Gustavo has made a total of 136 Bundesliga appearances both for Bayern and his former club Hoffenheim, scoring 11 goals.
Following the arrival of Thiago Alcantara and Mario Gotze at Bayern this summer, his chances of appearing regularly this season were reduced significantly and Wolfsburg made their move a few weeks ago.
Gustavo initially said he would prefer to stay with Bayern and fight for his place, but having featured only fleetingly under new coach Pep Guardiola in pre-season, he has had a change of heart.
The 11-time Brazil international, who is hoping to earn a spot in his country's World Cup squad for next summer, goes straight into the Wolfsburg squad for their Bundesliga clash with Schalke on Saturday.
It’s safe to say that transfer business at Arsenal this summer probably hasn’t panned out quite as Arsene Wenger envisaged. But he remains upbeat, telling his pre-match press conference that he hopes to make three new signings before the window closes next month. “It's difficult to find quality players to strengthen the team and squad because there is a shortage of top players who are available,” he said. “Yes, we would like two or three players, if possible more. But we won't compromise on the quality of the players."
Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Valencia defender Aly Cissokho on an initial season-long loan, with the move likely to be completed in the coming days.
There’s plenty going on at Loftus Road today. Manager Harry Redknapp has said a move for Spurs midfielder Scott Parker is close, explaining: "The chairman has agreed a deal with Tottenham. It's up to Scotty now." But he is less optimistic that Jermain Defoe, another of his former White Hart Lane charges, is on his way, saying: “We're nowhere near doing a deal with Defoe. It's just a link. There's nothing happening there at the moment.”
Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio has been a busy man this summer, and he believes new signing Jozy Altidore will fire his new-look team. "I don't hope he will be a success here, I know he will," the Italian told the Daily Star. "He will score many goals for us. I can't give you a number, but it will be 15 or more if he uses the energy he did for the national team. He is an animal.”
There's nothing new on Willian. Don't over-react. He just desperately wants to leave. No matter where. #Anzhi are still waiting for offers.
正常情況下, 如傳聞所指
威利安可能下家多的是, 包括熱刺, 以至利物浦, 仲有歐冠參賽球會...
Manchester United's rivalry with Liverpool has extended into the transfer market, with David Moyes hoping to hijack the Reds' move for Anzhi Makhachkala midfielder Willian. According to the Daily Mail, United are prepared to meet Anzhi's £30 million valuation of the 25-year-old, despite Liverpool being favourites to complete the signing.
Tottenham's interest has waned in recent weeks and United appear to be the only obstacle to Willian moving to Anfield. On Thursday, he told ESPN Brasil he would welcome a move to play under Brendan Rodgers.
Tottenham are expected to unveil Roma striker Pablo Osvaldo as their latest summer recruit on Friday, the Sun reports.
Osvaldo has rejected an approach from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, while interest from Southampton is thought unlikely to amount to anything, with the 27-year-old Italy international keen to move to White Hart Lane.
