West Ham 'very interested' in £34.7m striker as Liverpool prepare to 'hijack' Juventus transfer

We saw an entertaining Saturday of Premier League action with Brighton defeating Manchester United to kick-start the day. Tottenham’s performance against Everton was another standout display.

Chelsea return to action on Sunday, and attention will then turn to the end of the summer transfer window, which closes on Friday night. With that in mind, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Premier League clubs.

Abraham links

West Ham continue to be linked with a move for AS Roma and former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham. According to Foot Mercato, the Hammers are ‘very interested’ in a deal to land the England international and Roma are said to want to offload his big salary.

AC Milan and Juventus have shown tentative interest but have not pushed forward with Roma reportedly wanting to recover ‘most’ of the £34.7million they paid for him. West Ham would almost certainly need to offload players before they can spend so much on another player.

Glasner warning

Palace boss Oliver Glasner has made it clear the club need to recruit having lose Michael Olise and now Joachim Andersen this summer, while Marc Guehi is also being linked with an exit. “We have Jes and David out on loan. We didn’t extend Jairo’s and Tomkins’ contract,” said Glasner in his pre-match press conference.

“We sold one – maybe two more. We have lost seven of the squad, and we have brought in three. That doesn’t mean that we need four more, but it’s clear that we have to get at least two more players into the squad.”

Liverpool chase Koopmeiners

Liverpool are said to be interested in a move for Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners, who is said to be a long-term target for the club. Rudy Galetti has told TEAMtalk that the Reds have requested information over the midfielder and a possible transfer this summer.

Juventus are said to be pushing to land the 26-year-old, but it’s added that Liverpool are considering a ‘hijack’. Atalanta are said to want £50.8million (60 million euros) for Koopmeiners this summer, and crucialy, they are said to prefer to sell him to a club outside of Italy.
