Newcastle United are one of a handful of clubs interested in signing Arsenal defender Calum Chambers, according to The Gambling Times.

What’s the word?

The Magpies are believed to be keen to strengthen their defensive options for the upcoming Premier League season, and Chambers is one particular target.

The Gambling Times claim that Everton and Bournemouth are also interested in the 22-year-old’s signature.

In addition, Southampton, who sold him to Arsenal for £16m three years ago, are rumoured to be keen to spend £20m on bringing him back.

Since moving to the Emirates, Chambers has struggled for consistency and spent the majority of last season on loan at Middlesbrough.

It is believed that he will hold talks about his Arsenal future with the North London club following the Under-21 European Championships.

Is Chambers the right fit for Newcastle?

The fact that he has struggled to fully establish himself in a Premier League team is a concern.

The England U21 international also flits from full-back to the centre of defensive, and it is not quite certain where his best position is yet.

From the player’s point of view, he should be at a club where he can hone his skills and develop.

Ordinarily, Newcastle would be a good club to do so, but Rafael Benitez’s side main priority will be remaining in the top flight, so it would be wise for him to strengthen the back line with a more experienced player.

Charlie Taylor has officially moved on from Leeds United, and plenty of fans are happy to see the back of him.

The 23-year-old caused controversy when he refused to play in the Whites’ final Championship game against Wigan Athletic last season.

The left-back had been linked with a move away from Elland Road for some time, and it was thought that he would have left last summer.

However, he stayed put until his contract expired and now he has become a Premier League player for Burnley.

Taylor came through Leeds’ academy ranks in 2011, and developed his craft during loan spells at Bradford City, York City, Inverness and Fleetwood Town.

Due to injury, the full-back started just 26 Championship games last season, and rumours of a possible exit continued to rumble.

Leeds fans were worried at the thought of their academy product leaving, but after his refusal to play in the final game of the season, the opinion of him changed.

After Burnley confirmed Taylor’s arrival, Leeds supporters took to Twitter.

According to reports from Sky Sports, Marko Arnautovic has handed in a transfer request at Stoke City, citing what he sees as a lack of ambition from the Bet365 Stadium outfit.

The Austrian international is one of the Potters’ key players, depended on to provide creativity and goal threat in the final third.

The 28-year-old bagged an impressive eleven goals during the 2015/16 season but couldn’t match that total last time out, scoring six times as Stoke finished the campaign in 13th place.

West Ham are known to be on the lookout for added firepower this summer and although Arnautovic isn’t necessarily the central striker the Irons crave, he could certainly do a job there until better options become available.

In fact, BBC Sport claim the Irons have already seen a bid rejected for the 62-cap international, who Transfermarkt value at £12.75million. So, Hammers fans, should your club table an improved offer? Let us know by voting below…

It is safe to say that Moussa Sissoko failed to live up to his club-record £30m price tag when he joined Tottenham Hotspur from Newcastle United last summer.

The midfielder struggled for game time under manager Mauricio Pochettino, starting just eight Premier League matches and coming off the bench in a further 17.

Despite only being at the North London club for just under a year, there have been reports that Sissoko could move elsewhere.

Over the weekend, The Sun claimed that West Bromwich Albion are interested in his signature, with Spurs willing to let him leave for around £20m.

However, Pochettino has publicly claimed that there is a place for the midfielder next season.

During the club’s pre-season tour of the United States, in which Sissoko has not attended due to a virus, the Argentine coach gave an update on the midfielder.

According to the London Evening Standard, Pochettino’s assistant Jesus Perez translated the manager’s comments as saying:

“He’s training at the training ground. He’s a member of the squad. He’s in [Pochettino’s] plans for the season and he is, for us, a member of the squad.”

After a week of concerning rumours for Liverool, suggesting that their star player could be on the way out of the club with Barcelona sniffing for his signature, Reds fans are on high alert for any comments or speculation regarding the 25-year-old.Now, to fend off any potential interest, Liverpool have reportedly slapped a £134million price tag on their attacking midfielder.While most fans on Merseyside consider this valuation about right for the Brazilian, one former player believes that £80million would be good value for Coutinho.Speaking on talkSPORT, Danny Murphy stated his thoughts on the matter saying;“If they’re talking about £199m for Neymar, you can’t put Coutinho in Neymar’s league at the moment.“He’s not worth £150m, could they get £100m for him? Maybe.“If Barca are prepared to pay over £80m for Coutinho, I think that’s good business.”Clearly not happy with their former players comments, Liverpool fans took to Twitter to express their dismay…

Some Tottenham Hotspur fans may have still been mourning the loss of Kyle Walker following the right-back’s impressive performance for new club Manchester City on Saturday, but he was soon forgotten by the end of the weekend.

The reason being the performance of Kyle Walker-Peters, who took the vacancy for Sunday’s Premier League opener against Newcastle United at St James’ Park.

The 20-year-old, who joined Spurs’ academy in 2013, made his top-flight debut and ended the 2-0 win with Sky Sports’ Man of the Match award.

Kieran Tripper’s injury meant that Walker-Peters was called into action, and even though it is early days, the youngster has given manager Mauricio Pochettino something to think about.

Dele Alli and Ben Davies got on the scoresheet for Tottenham, but the focus was on Walker-Peters, who has made a case for being included in the club’s clash against Chelsea at Wembley this Sunday.

After the match, the young defender took to Twitter, and the fans responded with praise.

As reported by Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, Juventus will return to Liverpool in January in an attempt to woo Emre Can away from Anfield.

What’s the story?

As the club try to put the Philippe Coutinho summer transfer drama behind them and move on, it seems they could be heading for another transfer showdown in January.

Corriere dello Sport report that Italian giants Juventus will look to exploit the fact Emre Can’s contract is expiring to attempt to sign him in January, where they could land his signature on a pre-contract.

Can’s deal is up next summer and Liverpool have not yet managed to agree terms on extending his stay at the club.

How important is he?

Can played in the vast majority of Liverpool’s English Premier League matches last term, 32 in total, and often provided the kind of all-round midfield display at the Reds will need if they’re to compete for silverware again this season.

Performances like the one in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford last year and against Arsenal recently point to a player that on his day can be one of Liverpool’s best, linking defence and attack expertly.

This season he’s started in sparkling form and the last thing fans want is to see him leave the club. They’ll be seeking improvement to the squad, rather than see their best talent cherry picked to clubs around Europe.

Keeping him on Merseyside by persuading him to sign a new deal must be a massive priority for the Reds this Autumn.

The Tottenham fans in the Transfer Tavern are glad that their side has placed a strong focus on the future of the club…

Whilst emphasising the present, Tottenham have been sure to recruit well in recent years, both in terms of quality and potential. Big players like Dele Alli and Eric Dier have moved to London as young professionals, only to hone their craft at the club.

Not only does this keep costs down, but it also allows the club to plan ahead – with both players able to play on at the top for the best part of a decade if Tottenham hang on to them.

It’s become a theme of their transfer policy as of late, and it’s a tactic that is reportedly leading to them keeping an eye on a very talented young forward. Currently playing for SM Caen, Elye Wahi is the player in question according to Le Parisien, with the attacker drawing attention after scoring 89 goals last season.

Significantly, he is just 14-years-old, and so he’s unlikely to make it onto our TVs for quite a while yet, but Tottenham are already looking to the future by keeping an eye on him.

He can’t be signed for a few years yet, but that won’t stop them from scouting him – and last season he looked very good indeed. Anything can happen as teenagers grow older, but the signs are all there that he will become a top player

Landlord’s Verdict

Tottenham has been a fantastic hub for young talent to hone their craft lately, and so a move to White Hart Lane could be attractive.

That said, there are a host of clubs reportedly keen on him, and so a move won’t be easy.

There is no rush to sign him, of course, so Pochettino won’t be worried about losing him just yet.

Tottenham fans – thoughts?

Let us know below!

Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is never far from the headlines where the club are concerned.

A report in The Times claim that the businessman wants to open talks with manager Rafael Benitez about a new contract at St James’ Park.

The Spaniard’s current deal does not expire until the end of next season, but it is believed that Ashley wants to secure the coach’s future.

According to The Times, the club owner has invited Benitez out for dinner to discuss a potential new contract, and it is believed that the ex-Liverpool manager will not make a decision until he learns of Ashley’s plans for the club.

There were concerns that Benitez could quit during the summer after he made it clear that he was unsatisfied with the club’s transfer activity.

However, the 57-year-old has remained committed to the Magpies, and now the fans are mulling over these latest reports that Ashley wants to open contract talks.

Yannick Bolasie has not played for Everton since December last year, but it looks as though he is edging closer to a return.

The 28-year-old suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury 10 months ago after making 16 appearances for the Toffees following a £25m switch from Crystal Palace.

It was a hammer blow to the winger, who had impressed in the early stages of his Everton career.

Now that Ronald Koeman’s side are struggling to pick up points – only seven from seven games in the Premier League – the fans are more desperate than ever to see Bolasie return.

The team have lacked cutting edge in the final third following the sale of Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United in the summer.

Wayne Rooney and Sandro Ramirez were bought as attacking options, but so far the team are struggling for goals having scored just four in the top flight.

In an interview with evertontv, Bolasie has spoken positively about his return to action now that he is able to train at Finch Farm.

As expected, Everton fans were very happy with what they heard, and some could not resist launching a dig at Koeman.
