EPL Gossip Wednesday September 30th
Manchester United are the latest club to track Bolton defender Gary Cahill. Chelsea, Juventus and AC Milan are also interested in the 23-year-old. The Sun
Tracking and making a move for Cahill are two different things. With United’s backline and suddenly looking a little thin they could see Cahill adding depth.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is keen on Atletico Madrid forward Keko, who has been likened to Liverpool striker Fernando Torres. Daily Mirror
Shocking how a 17 year old player no one outside of Madrid has heard of is in Wenger radar. The kid has only made one start with Atletico but since he has long blond hair it makes sense to compare him with Fernando Torres.
Tottenham and Arsenal are two of the clubs willing to offer midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker a way out of Aston Villa following his bust up with manager Martin O’Neill. (Daily Star)
Have a feeling Reo-Coker will enjoy reading this news even if nothing ever comes from it.
Hull boss Phil Brown is desperate to land Sol Campbell in the January transfer window, following the former Arsenal defender’s decision to leave Notts County last week. Daily Mirror
A cynic may say Phil Brown may not even be around by January.
Aston Villa defender Curtis Davies is set to land a new contract, despite being out for five months with a shoulder injury. The Sun
Davis is still deserving of a new deal. Before his injury Davis was showing the promise which lead Villa to pay West Brom close to £10 million for his services back in 2007.
Liverpool’s American owners, George Gillett and Tom Hicks, say they are ready to water down their control in the club. (Various)
Any new investor would be silly to pump in a lot of money into Liverpool yet still give Gillett and Hicks a majority share.
Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez has explained his reasons for not celebrating his goals against West Ham on Monday, saying that “part of me will always be a Hammer”. However, following the treatment he received at Old Trafford recently, the Argentine says he will not extend the same courtesy if he scores against his former club Manchester United. The Mail
Tevez’s first goal for West Ham when he jumped into the stands at Upton Park was memorable. Could understand why Tevez will always be bitter over his final season at United. Should not talk openly about it to the press every chance he can however.
