2017/18 Transfers and Rumours

Southampton have agreed a fee with Basel for young winger Mohamed Elyounoussi, according to Sky sources.

Fee believed to be in the region of £16m.

The 23-year-old Norwegian international can operate as a forward or as a winger.
 
Dutch giants Ajax are close to agreeing an £18m deal for Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic.

The Serbian international is presently in Russia for the World Cup and tonight plays in a winner-takes-all clash against Brazil for a place in the last 16.
 
West Ham have increased their offer for Felipe Anderson to €40million plus a bonus arrangement depending on a number of appearances, according to Sky in Italy.

Lazio president Claudio Lotito has asked €50m for the midfielder but is likely to accept €40m with an easily achievable bonus scheme.

Talks will continue in the coming days.
 
What exactly are West Ham up to? This reminds of the time when QPR came up with their billionaire owner and tried to buy their spot in the EPL by signing well-known players for obscene amounts.

It's like spending R150k to tune your Honda Civic so that you can take on BMW M3's. You may just pull it off, and props to you, but at the end of the day, you're still just driving a Civic. And people have been tuning their BMW's for ages.

I don't think anyone knows. Not even themselves.
 
Manchester United are in talks with Stoke City over a possible deal for 35-year old goalkeeper Lee Grant.

We believe Stoke would allow Grant to leave on a free transfer, and United want him as cover should there be injuries to their first choice keepers. It’s likely he would be third choice, initially, with Joel Pereira to be sent on loan to get more experience. Negotiations are still at an early stage, but are progressing.
 
BREAKING NEWS

Wayne Rooney looks set to play his last game in the Premier League this Sunday – with a £12m move to MLS side DC United agreed in principle.

A number of MLS franchises held talks with Rooney’s agent Paul Stretford more than a year ago before England’s top goalscorer returned to Goodison Park.

Sky Sports News understands this latest deal was drafted over the past seven weeks, during several visits to the States by Stretford alongside DC United’s Chief Executive Jason Levein.

The ground-breaking agreement, which runs to the end of the MLS season in 2020, is yet to be signed, but SSN understands it would take a significant change of heart by Rooney and his family to stop the transfer going ahead.

Jason Levein, who is also the co-owner of Swansea City, hopes Wayne Rooney can become DC United’s marquee signing ahead of a move on July 14, to their brand new Audi Field stadium in the heart of the capital.

And the MLS club are in need of a boost. Moving to a new home has meant that all but two of their matches this campaign have been played away from home and they remain bottom of the MLS table with just one win from 7 games.

Rooney’s salary would make him the highest-paid player in the D.C. organization. The club has one of the smallest payrolls in the MLS but, with the revenue from a new stadium expected to increase the club is looking to invest in talent.

Rooney may well have his work cut out, with DC due to play their next seven games away from home before they welcome Vancouver to Audi Field on July 15 – possibly Rooney’s first game. After that, 14 of their next 19 games will be at their new home.

Rooney’s move is likely to be confirmed on July 10, when the MLS ‘secondary’ (or mid-season) transfer window opens. Before then, Rooney looks set to take his Premier League curtain-call on Sunday at West Ham’s London Stadium.
Confirmed.
