Welcome back! Check out our new videos and news updates!
With the premiership clubs getting ready for the kick off of the 2008-2009 season, the signing of transfer targets is being done aggressively. Liverpool are set to exit the transfer market with the signing of Spurs frontman Robbie Keane for a massive £18m. Tottenham are planning to use the money to fund the move for Arshavin. Tottenham are firmly resisting any offers from United and Barcelona for their star striker Berbatov.
Andrew Johnson is all set to sign for Fulham, as Sunderland’s bid is considered as an undervalue for the player. Sunderland have shifted their attention to Manchester United striker Saha, with Roy Keane very keen on the frontman, the deal could be finalized anytime this week. PSG are also interested in the striker.

AC Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has confirmed that his club will not sign any more players this summer, and that star recruit Ronaldinho who signed yesterday is the last new player on the roster.
Milan, who finished fifth in last season’s Serie A, had earlier added Arsenal’s Mathieu Flamini on a free transfer, and recently brought in defender Gianluca Zambrotta from Barcelona for 8.5 million euros. Zambrotta’s Barca teammate Ronaldinho put an end to transfer speculation choosing the Rossoneri over Manchester City, despite the English club’s offer being monetarily superior.
Galliani’s statement means that Milan (might) have ended their interest in Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor. The Gunners had recently halved their asking price for the forward, after Milan had backed off from Arsenal’s preliminary valuation. A move for Andriy Shevchenko was also on the cards at the San Siro.
Arsenal meanwhile have played up their interest in Spain and Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso. Alonso has been linked with Juventus for quite some time. Arsenal are also being linked with a move for England and Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry, who they aim to snatch from under Liverpool’s noses.

Chelsea are close to signing Brazilian forward Robinho from Real Madrid. The transfer fee is supposed to be in the range of £48m. Robinho has already expressed his interest to work under former Brazilian coach Scoari at Chelsea.
Meanwhile, though Scolari had publicly claimed that Drogba was 200% in his plans for the next year, the Ivory Coast striker is reluctant to stay at Stamford Bridge and has already packed his bags. AC Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid are linked with the £25m rated striker. Chelsea will be looking to find a replacement to this prolific striker if he chooses to leave and Robinho might be a good one.

Andrei Arshavin, who had earlier said that he was only interested in a move to Catalunya, seems to have changed his mind over the past few days. Barcelona were priced out of a move for the Zenit St Petersburg and Russia playmaker, having made an offer in the region of just 15 million euros. This has whipped up Arsenal and Chelsea’s interest in a transfer for the Russian.
If Emmanuel Adebayor’s proposed move to AC Milan materializes, Arsenal would be in the money for launching a transfer bid for Arshavin. The player himself has been flirting rather openly with a move to Arsenal, having declared that he is a fan of Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, and that he is “desperate” to join the North London club. Will Arsenal be able to beat Chelsea to Arshavin’s signature?
In some more latest transfer rumours from the Emirates, Arsenal are considering making a move for Liverpool target Gareth Barry from Aston Villa.

Image via WikipediaIn transfer news from Arsenal, Emmanuel Adebayor has almost become a want-away for the Gunners! The Londoners who were and are interested in cashing in on the Togolese hitman had initially quoted around 35 million pounds, a sum that prompted even the moneyed Rossoneri to back off from the deal.
However, with there being no takers for that high a sum, the North London club have dropped their price tag. According to Vincenzo Morabito, Arsenal have almost halved their asking price from the 45 million euros that they had quoted initially.
While AC Milan are also in for Ronaldinho, they would prefer Adebayor over the Brazilian. The Arsenal man is in good form, and has more years in him than the waning winger from Barcelona. Also, Milan need a striker who produces goals with greater consistency, someone in the Andriy Shevchenko mould. One of the reasons Milan could not threaten for titles in the 2007-08 season was the inconsitency of their forwards. Pippo Inzaghi could managed only 18 goals in all competitions last season, while Alberto Gilardino, now shipped out to Fiorentina, was dismal with a return of just 9 goals in 40 games!
It is possible that Adebayor’s arrival from Arsenal might mean that Milan might have to end their pursuit of Ronaldinho. And given that Manchester City’s offer for Ronnie of around 25.5 million pounds is higher than Milan’s, expect to see the smiling Brazilian at Eastlands!
