EPL Gossip Friday September 11th
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is weighing up a move for Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, 23, who currently plays for CSKA Moscow. The Sun
Been surprised Akinfeev hasn’t been snapped up by a top team by now even if CSKA Moscow is loathe to let him go. With van der Sar not getting any younger and Ben Foster not looking like the second coming of Peter Schmeichel it doesn’t shock me if United is currently looking at another goalie.
Mexico striker Guillermo Franco, 32, says he is joining West Ham after his deal with Villarreal expired last month and a move to South American champions Estudiantes fell through. The Sun
This should have the same impact as Diego Tristán’s short spell at West Ham last year.
Sorry that’s all I got for today. Enjoy the games this weekend.
