EPL Gossip Tuesday December 2nd
Everton are lining up a shock move for 37-year-old striker Henrik Larsson, who is a free agent after ending the Swedish season at Helsingborg. (Various)
Don’t see this as a shock move at all. This is what happens when you have a team with no transfer money who loses their top goal scorer to injury. What would Larsson see in going to Everton is another story.
Arsenal are weighing up a £6m move for Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure, the brother of Gunners defender Kolo. (The Sun)
Making a move for Toure would go along way to pleasing Arsenal fans that they are truly committed to winning now and not just committed to developing young players.
Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill will be handed £18m to sign a new striker in January. (Daily Mirror)
With the way the Cleveland Browns suck, Villa owner Randy Learner should ask Martin O’Neill if he knows anything about the NFL.
Arsenal defender Armand Traore, who is on loan at Portsmouth, is wanted by Middlesbrough. (Mirror)
Middlesbrough made a previous play for another young Arsenal defender in Justin Hoyte so it wouldn’t be out of place to see Middlesbrough going after another Arsenal player.
Roy Keane could have only three games left as Sunderland manager – if he goes on to lose a fifth successive league game, his position could be untenable. (Various)
The same way Roy Keane would be foolish to leave Sunderland, the club itself would be foolish to fire Keane. Replacing the coach mid season could easily see Sunderland back in the Championship come the end of the season.
