Plenty of Tevez talk doing the rounds on Sunday, but we’ll get round to that!
The more interesting story concerns Arsenal, with the News of the World claiming that the Gunners are considering cashing in on their niggle-friendly forward. He’s yet to sign a new £70,000-a-week contract at the Emirates and Monsieur Wenger could use that money to strengthen elsewhere – notably at the back!
The Sunday Mirror suggests Belgian defender Thomas Vermaelen is top of the hitlist.
And if you choose to believe the Mail on Sunday, then he’ll need to raise some cash as that paper claims Arsenal’s transfer kitty for the summer is just £13m.
There could be more offloading if you believe the Observer, as plans are afoot to limit Premier League squad sizes to 25.
So, I guess we’d better talk about Carlos Tevez. Well, over at the News of the World the paper is claiming that Manchester United fans are so angry about his apparent exit that they hurled bottles and sprayed beer (what a waste!) at the entrance to Old Trafford.
And the Sunday Express rehashes the predictable story that Rafa Benitez will come in to nab the striker, making him his top summer target. And the News of the World also says the Reds are set for a £350m financing deal.
The Sunday Mirror reveals that six Premier League clubs are chasing Tevez.
More from the Red Devils, and CR7 who is surely only a matter of hours away from “signing for Real Madrid”. He’s told the News of the World that he loves it in rain-filled Manchester.
On a lighter – and quite frankly more interesting – note, Federico Macheda was thrown out of United’s title party at the Living Room nightspot…. not for pulling his trousers down or anything stupid like that but because he’s only 17! And not old enough to be in such a sordid establishment… It’s in the News of the World.
Down the league now and with Ricky Sbragia likely to step down at Sunderland following next season’s finale the News of the World reckons Slaven Bilic will swap Croatia for the north east.
Let’s round up the News of the World’s transfer titbits:
Aston Villa want Stewart Downing
Bolton will pay £2m for Joey Barton
Fulham could pay £6m for Wigan’s Paul Scharner (£6m?!)
Mark Hughes targets two from Benfica
Lucas Neill could move to Olympiakos
Liverpool want Javi Martinez
The race is on to sign Joe Ledley
