Aston Villa are interested in signing Curtis Jones who is currently on the books of Liverpool, according to reports. 

The 20-year-old has failed to make an appearance for the Reds this season. 

He wasn’t even part of the squad in the recent 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Anfield. 

The talented midfielder’s current contract with the Merseysiders is set to expire in 2025, having signed a long-term deal in July 2020. 

According to The Sun, the Lions are interested to secure the services of the youngster and could make a £15 million move for him before the transfer window closes. 

Dean Smith’s side have already signed Danny Ings, Emiliano Buendia, Leon Bailey, and Ashley Young this summer. 

They have also secured the services of Axel Tuanzebe on loan from Manchester United for the 2021-22 season. 

However, they are reportedly not done yet and are eyeing a move for Jones. 

Career 

The England U21 international is an academy graduate of Liverpool who earned his competitive debut in January 2019 against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup. 

So far, he has clocked up 47 appearances across all competitions for the Merseyside club, scoring seven goals and creating six assists in the process (stats from Transfermarkt). 

Last season, the 20-year-old made 34 total appearances for Jurgen Klopp’s side, with four goals to his name.

Sheffield United is interested in signing Willy Caballero this summer transfer window, according to The Sun

They have sold Aaron Ramsdale to Arsenal and are looking for a replacement in the market. 

It is said that the Blades have started talks with the 39-year-old Argentine footballer over a move to Bramall Lane. 

The experienced goalkeeper left Chelsea earlier this summer and is currently a free agent. 

He managed to make only two appearances for the Blues last season, with Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy ahead of him in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.  

Sheffield United were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2020-21 season, after securing only 23 points from 38 matches. 

Slavisa Jokanovic’s side have made a terrible start to the Championship campaign, managing only two points from five league games so far. 

With the transfer window set to close on August 31st, the Blades will try to add another keeper to bolster their ranks for the season.  

The South Yorkshire outfit were targeting QPR’s Seny Dieng, but he is now thought to be too expensive for them. 

Caballero joined Chelsea in the summer of 2017 on a free transfer. 

He clocked up 38 appearances across all competitions for the Pensioners, earning 14 clean sheets to his name.

IlaixMoriba is currently one of the most talented youngsters in the football world. 

He is an academy product of Barcelona who has greatly impressed with his performances in Spain so far. 

The 18-year-old has the distinction of making 18 appearances across all competitions for the Catalans, with a goal and three assists to his name. 

The central midfielder’s current contract at Nou Camp Nou is set to expire within a year. 

His employers wanted to hand him a new deal but he wasn’t interested in extending his stay. 

And so the Spanish giants are now open to selling the youngster in this transfer window. 

Several top clubs were interested to secure his services, but Tottenham Hotspur and RB Leipzig were thought to be leading the race for him. 

However, as per Sky Germany’s Max Bielefeld, Moriba has decided to join the Bundesliga outfit over Spurs. 

The Catalans are reportedly demanding around £17m to let their player leave this summer. 

It remains to be seen whether the German club can meet the valuation of Barcelona. 

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Red Bulls opening bid for the 18-year-old stood at £5m and that hasn’t been increased yet. 

However, they may be prepared to fork out more after Marcel Sabitzer completes his move to Bayern Munich.

Manchester United’s Amad Diallo was all set to head on a loan move to Feyenoord this summer transfer window. 

Both clubs had also reached an agreement but the deal has now been cancelled after the 19-year-old picked up an injury during training. 

The Eredivisie side’s director of football Frank Arnesen confirmed the cancellation of the deal while talking to Dutch outlet AD: “He got injured, it’s cancelled.

“Too bad, everything was done. I’ve talked a lot with the people at Manchester United, but it’s more sensible to let him recover at that club. It may be a while before he comes back.”

Diallo’s first-team opportunities look very limited at Old Trafford this season, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer having plenty of good options at his disposal. 

The Red Devils completed a £73 million signing of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund earlier this summer. 

While Cristiano Ronaldo has also now returned to the Theatre of Dreams from Juventus. 

Career 

Amad Diallo started his youth career at Atalanta where he progressed through the ranks to earn his Serie A debut in October 2019. 

His performances in Italy attracted the attention of Manchester United who splashed a fee around £37m to secure his services in 2020. 

However, he has only managed to make only eight total appearances for United so far, scoring a goal and an assist in the process (stats from Transfermarkt).

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the signing of Pape Matar Sarr from Ligue 1 side Metz. 

It is said that the 18-year-old will be loaned back to the French outfit for the 2021-22 season. 

The Senegalese footballer was impressive for the Maroons last season, helping them finish tenth in the table. 

He clocked up 26 appearances across all competitions for the Ligue 1 side last term, smashing four goals in the process (stats from Transfermarkt). 

His impressive performances in France reportedly sparked transfer interest from several top European clubs, including Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea. 

However, he decided to join Spurs in the end in a move believed to be around 15 million (as per 90MIN). 

Metz were said to be reluctant to sell the talented player this transfer window, but they changed their mind after a meeting with the DNCG (the organisation responsible for monitoring the accounts of French clubs)

Tottenham Hotspur have already signed Cristian Romero and Pierluigi Gollini from Atalanta on loan deals. 

While they have also secured the services of Bryan Gil from Sevilla for £21.6m plus Erik Lamela. 

Spurs endured a disappointing 2020-21 season, finishing seventh in the Premier League table. 

They will be aiming to do better this campaign under new boss Nuno Espirito Santo.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal were terrible once again as they suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City this week. 

This is the Gunners’ worst start to a season since the war, and Arteta must improve performances if he wants to remain in the job for much longer. 

The Spaniard has been in charge at the club for around 20 months now, but so far he has failed to revive the Londoners’ fortunes.  

Following their 2-0 loss against Brentford, Arsenal hosted Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium last week but suffered defeat again. 

Mikel Arteta’s side had entered this contest at the Etihad Stadium on the back of their 6-0 victory over West Brom in the EFL Cup. 

However, the London side looked no match to Manchester City who completely dominated the whole match. 

Ilkay Gundogan opened the scoring for the Citizens by heading home Gabriel Jesus’ cross early on. 

Then, Ferran Torres added another in the 12th minute to extend their advantage. 

Their difficulties further compounded when Granit Xhaka got his marching orders after his rash lunch on Joao Cancelo. 

Jesus also earned his name on the scoresheet on the stroke of half-time following fine work from Jack Grealish. 

Pep Guardiola’s side struck two more goals in the second-half through Rodri and Torres to claim an emphatic 5-0 victory.

Liverpool and Chelsea are the top contenders for the Premier League title this season. 

The two heavy favourites locked horns with each other at Anfield, with both sides entering the contest with perfect records. 

Thomas Tuchel’s side scored the first goal but the Reds grabbed the equaliser in the closing moments of the first half. 

The match ended in a 1-1 draw after the two Premier League outfits failed to move the scoreline in the second half. 

Jurgen Klopp’s side started the encounter at a super-charged pace but the visitors’ defences stood firm and didn’t let them create many opportunities. 

And then in the 22nd minute, Kai Havertz headed the ball home from James’ corner to put his side in the driving seat. 

The Blues had a great opportunity to extend the scoreline but Mason Mount squandered the scoring chance. 

And that proved to be a costly mistake as Liverpool were awarded a penalty after James’ handball just before the interval. 

The English footballer got his marching orders and Mohamed Salah drilled home the spot-kick to level the scores. 

Tuchel made two changes in the second half, bringing Thiago Silva for Havertz and Mateo Kovacic for N’Golo Kante. 

The Merseysiders had the numerical advantage but they failed to score any goal against the Pensioners. 

Chelsea provided a brilliant defensive display and ultimately claimed a point from the Anfield encounter.

According to a report from Goal.com, Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund are interested in signing Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi on loan. 

However, the Londoners are said to be reluctant to let their player leave this summer transfer window. 

The 20-year-old was a regular member of the team when Frank Lampard was at the helm of affairs at Stamford Bridge. 

But his game time has greatly suffered after the appointment of Thomas Tuchel in January. 

The England international has failed to earn a single minute under the German boss in this league season so far. 

It looked that the youngster will stay put in West London for the 2021-22 campaign, but now he has been linked with a loan move to Dortmund. 

The Black and Yellows are said to be interested in the services of the 20-year-old, though they haven’t made a formal approach yet. 

As per Goal.com, any offer from the German outfit is expected to be met with fierce resistance, with the Blues reluctant to let the winger leave the club. 

Callum Hudson-Odoi is an academy graduate of Chelsea who earned his senior debut in January 2018. 

So far, he has clocked up 99 appearances across all competitions for the Pensioners, scoring 13 goals and creating 16 assists in the process (stats from Transfermarkt).

Manchester United’s Amad Diallo is close to making a loan move to Feyenoord this summer transfer window, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano

It is said that the loan deal is currently in the final stages, with the Red Devils having accepted the proposal from the Dutch outfit. 

The 19-year-old joined United in January from Atalanta but has managed to make only eight senior appearances so far. 

He was also not included in the squad for the two Premier League matches against Leeds United and Southampton. 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have brought in Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund this summer, while they also recently confirmed the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus. 

Seeing the Norwegian boss has plenty of good options at his disposal this campaign, Amad’s first-team opportunities don’t look great at Old Trafford. 

So, he is now heading to the Netherlands in search of regular football action. 

Manchester United made a perfect start to the 2021-22 Premier League season by thrashing Leeds United 5-1 in the opening match. 

However, they failed to grab full points at Southampton despite boasting plenty of quality players in their ranks. 

The Red Devils will now lock horns with Wolverhampton Wanderers who have lost both their opening two league matches so far.

Manchester United will reportedly allow Wales international Daniel James to leave Old Trafford this summer transfer window. 

The 23-year-old started the opening match for the Red Devils against Leeds United but remained an unused substitute in the subsequent league match at Southampton. 

He made only 11 Premier League starts for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side last season, scoring three goals and an assist in the process (stats from Transfermarkt). 

The talented winger was due to be handed a new deal at Old Trafford after several clubs showed interest in him earlier this summer. 

However, as per The Sun, United will now let him leave after they signed Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus. 

It is said that interested clubs Everton, Leeds United, Brighton and Crystal Palace have been told to make their bids for the Welsh footballer. 

Career 

Dan James started his youth career at Hull City before switching to Swansea City in 2014. 

He earned his competitive debut for the Swans in February 2018 and went on to make 39 appearances across all competitions for them. 

The 23-year-old joined Manchester United in the summer of 2019 in a deal worth around £15 million. 

Since his arrival at the Theatre of Dreams, he has clocked up 73 appearances across all competitions, scoring nine goals and creating nine assists in the process.
