EPL Gossip Tuesday August 9th

Arsenal have opened the door for Samir Nasri’s £25m move to Manchester City.
Full story: the Guardian

Arsenal should knock the door down and say take him before he leaves for free next summer.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will look to sign Bolton defender Gary Cahill following Thomas Vermaelen’s injury. Full story: Metro

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish will make a move for £8m­-rated Birmingham defender Scott Dann.
Full story: Daily Star

Arsenal should also look to sign Scott Dann. He is riped for the picking with all the troubles at Birmingham.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp’s bid to bring Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra to Tottenham has hit a snag in a row over the ex-Chelsea man’s £20m price tag. Full story: the Sun

With Huddlestone and Sandro (when fit) around I’m not even sure Tottenham needs Diarra, they surely don’t need him at 20 million.

Tottenham will make one last attempt to sign Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor, with boss Harry Redknapp desperate to sign the former Arsenal striker. Full story: footie-online

I’d push Peter Crouch out the door if I could bring Adebayor in.

While, Real Madrid are ready to offer midfielder Fernando Gago to Manchester City in exchange for Adebayor. Full story: Inside Futbol

Interesting from the point of view that Gago makes a lot less than Adebayor. If Man City can’t cash in on Adebayor they should consider it.

Chelsea are facing a battle with big-spending Paris Saint-Germain over Porto wing-back Alvaro Pereira. Full story: Daily Mail

It will be interesting to see if Porto do as promised and only sell players for their release clauses. They do have cover with Alex Sandro and David Addy

Chelsea-bound striker Romelu Lukaku described Monday as the “most beautiful day of my life” as he arrived to complete his £20m move from Anderlecht. Full story: Daily Mail

Wonder how many beautiful days Lukaku will have watching from the bench this season?

Real Madrid have beaten rivals Barcelona to the signing of a seven-year-old Argentine prodigy.

Won’t be the last thing Real Madrid beat Barcelona in this season.

    Dann is a boyhood Kop season ticket holder and has been holding tight for his “dream move”. Cahill is an LFC option as Bolton are keen on N’Gog. And Enrique should be tied up this week, if there’s an agreement on personal terms.

    One of my scouse ‘contacts’ (I hate sounding like some uber-connected douche but that’s for lack of a term) even claims Dann and Cahill will be acquired but it’s one of the two, and Enrique for LFC.
