EPL Gossip for Monday May 5th
Arsene Wenger is prepared to pay £12m to bring Portsmouth midfielder Niko Kranjcar to Arsenal as a replacement for Alexander Hleb. (Daily Mirror)
Kranjcar is a fine player but is he the type of player that will push Arsenal over the top against the likes of Man Utd’s and Chelsea’s?
Juventus are reportedly interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso. (Daily Telegraph)
The teams are on good terms over the Mohamed Sissoko transfer. Alonso looks to be moving on so that Liverpool can fund other transfer targets.
Wolves’ Welsh international goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey is a £5.5m target for Everton. (Daily Mirror)
What is wrong with Tim Howard? I don’t see why Everton would be unhappy with Howard and I don’t see why a team would pay 11 million for a backup goalie.
Newcastle are lining up a £4m bid for Fulham midfielder Steven Davis who has impressed while on loan at Rangers this season.(Daily Mirror)
Fulham would agree to that transfer fee if Newcastle makes that bid.
Kevin Keegan is also keen to bring Everton striker Andrew Johnson to St James’ Park. (Daily Mirror)
Could only see Johnson coming to Newcastle if Obafemi Martins moves on.
