Move along, nothing to see here. Man Utd are ready to join the race to sign Gareth Bale. Course they are, on you go…
Chelsea are confident of signing Wayne Rooney. So confident they’ve lined up Samuel Eto’o, 47, as a back-up. Barcelona, meanwhile, will make a final offer for David Luiz this week. Rumour has it a deal for Daniel Agger could be close as well. It's not all doom and gloom at Anfield though, Guilherme Siqueira is on his way.
West Brom have made an approach for Udinese’s quite decent Czech Republic striker Matej Vydra. They want to take him on a season-long loan deal but could face competition from Sunderland and West Ham for his signature. The Baggies are also in talks with Man City over a deal for Scott Sinclair.
Sunderland are also being linked with a move for Juventus stirker Fabio Quagliarella and should complete a loan deal for Trabzonspor left-back Ondrej Celustka shortly.
And finally, Arsenal are closing on a £14m deal for Bayern Munich’s Luiz Gustavo. Completely understand if you’re not willing to take that seriously, we’ve been let down too many times now.
