Guillermo Ochoa's a free agent, but probably not for much longer after that performance against Brazil last night. Arsenal and Liverpool are among the clubs all of a sudden taking an interest in the Mexico keeper. They both want Yann M'Vila too, but it looks as though he's off to Inter. Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger's quite spectacularly making up for not signing a striker in January, and Ezequiel Lavezzi is the latest forward to be linked with a move to the Emirates. He'll cost around £15m.
If Southampton won't play nice over Adam Lallana then Brendan Rodgers will just bloody well go and sign the much cheaper (£16m) Xherdan Shaqiri instead. It's a similar story at United too, except with Luke Shaw, Louis van Gaal and Daley Blind. Another Dutchman to be linked with a move to Old Trafford is Wesley Sneijder, though when it's him doing the linking it probably doesn't count. Surely a bit late for all that anyway? Especially when Sami Khedira's available for £20m. Also, Atletico Madrid centre half Miranda has got a £24.2m release clause, just saying...
Everton are leading the race to sign Barcelona forward Cristian Tello. They've done well there.
Spurs are prepared to offload Emmanuelle Adebayor and Roberto Soldado to anyone who'll take them and West Brom have emerged as the club Joleon Lescott's most likely to sign for. Apparently he's pretty tight with the new management team at the Hawthorns.
