Erik Ten Hag wants to add the class of Christian Eriksen to his Manchester United midfield, Arsenal will bid £50m for a 24-goal striker, while Sunday’s transfer gossip claims West Ham are plotting a £20m raid on Everton.
CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN IS TEN HAG’S FIRST MAN UTD TARGET
Incoming Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has placed Christian Eriksen firmly at the top of his transfer wish-list.
The Dane is back in action with Brentford and looking better than ever following his dramatic recovery from a cardiac arrest.
And while his recovery and willigness to play again both delighted and surprised in equal measure, Eriksen has been proven right to resume his playing career.
That six-month deal at Brentford has been the perfect move. In Thomas Frank, he has a manager who has expertly handled his return to top-level football.
And for the Bees, he has been the catalyst for an excellent run of results that has seen the west-London side secure their Premier League status.
Eriksen’s latest outing was an emotional 0-0 draw against Tottenham, the side he served with distinction for so many years.
But having only signed a six-month deal, Brentford face a huge battle to extend his stay.
Reports recently claimed as many as seven clubs were all looking to snap up the classy Dane.
However, the Daily Star Sunday now throws the name of Manchester United into the mix.
They claim new boss Ten Hag has told United chiefs to make his signing the first piece of business of his reign.
As a free-agent, Ten Hag sees Eriksen as the ‘perfect deal to kick off his Old Trafford revolution’.
They claim Ten Hag was seriously impressed with Eriksen’s quality as he trained with Ajax during his recovery.
However, the Star reports that Ten Hag will have to overcome competition from Tottenham to sign him.
ARSENAL MAKE MOVE FOR TAMMY ABRAHAM
Arsenal are ready to firm up their interest in Tammy Abraham by making a firm £50m approach for the striker.
The England marksman has enjoyed an excellent debut season with Roma, scoring 24 goals in all competitions.
And that form has brought him back into sharp focus for Arsenal as they look to strengthen their squad.
Indeed, the Gunners are very much in need of attacking reinforcements this summer. As it stands, Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette are likely to depart as free agents.
And the Daily Star claims the Gunners are willing to offer £50m to Roma for Abraham to plug that gap.
Having signed from Chelsea, the Blues have a £68m buy-back clause in his contract. However, that does not kick in until summer 2023, prompting Arsenal to act now.
Arsenal are in a strong position to qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 2016/17. And they see Abraham as the perfect star to spearhead their bright young side as they look to make an impact on their return to UEFA’s top table.
WEST HAM LOOKING TO SIGN EVERTON STAR KEANE
West Ham manager David Moyes wants to bring in Michael Keane if Everton suffer relegation.
The Toffees are in the midst of a tough battle to retain their Premier League status. With seven games left to play, they are just a point clear of 18th-place Burnley and face title-chasing Liverpool on Sunday.
And should Everton suffer demotion, they will see a number of their big name stars picked off.
One of those that looks likely to go is Keane. The defender was a £25m signing from Burnley in 2017.
And the Daily Star claims Moyes is a huge fan of the 29-year-old as he looks for defensive reinforcements.
The paper claims a £20m fee will likely be enough to get a deal done.
West Ham want cover at the back as they prepare for another season in European football.
Moyes’ side are through to the Europa League semi-finals and face Eintracht Frankfurt for a place in the final.
