Hide AdMan Utd ‘strike deal’
Manchester United are said to have reached an agreement to sign Bayern Munich full-back Noussair Mazraoui. According to Foot Mercato, United have struck a £21.2million deal to land the right-back, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka likely to move on.
The player is already said to have agreed terms with the Red Devils, though a deal is far from done. While United are said to have moved in front of West Ham in the race to land Mazraoui, Wan-Bassaka likely needs to leave before a deal can be done.
Fullkrug an option for Hammers
West Ham are said to be interested in a deal to sign Germany international Niclas Fullkrug. The Hammers are pushing to sign a striker this summer, and the Borussia Dortmund striker has now emerged as an option, while there is also talk of a bid for Boulaye Dia.
Jhon Duran and Alexander Sorloth have also been linked over recent days. Sky Sports have reported that Fullkrug has emerged as a fresh option, with Dortmund likely to ask for at least £12million for the 31-year-old striker.

Hide AdWaddle on Eze
Chris Waddle has called for Tottenham to get a deal done for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.
He wrote in the Mirror (paper edition): “He’s a great talent. I think he’d mainly be used in a wide role. He’s got pace, grace and balance. The Spurs fans would love to watch him. He’s definitely a Tottenham player. He would be a great addition.”
Speaking back in April, Palace boss Oliver Glasner said: “We think [Eze and Olise] will play for Crystal Palace next season. They are two fantastic football players and two great characters – this is important for me. There is nothing for me to discuss.
“If someone is worth £60m, £50m or £2m, I don’t know – this is the business world and I am a manager. For me, it’s important whether they can help the team win games. The answer is yes. I have been in football for a long time and no team in the world can say on April 26 how the squad will look next season. We don’t know, but we think they will be at Crystal Palace next season.”
