West Ham Shows Strong Interest in £34.7m Striker While Liverpool Eyes Potential Transfer Hijack from Juventus
Saturday’s Premier League action was thrilling, with Brighton kicking off the day by defeating Manchester United.
Tottenham’s performance against Everton was also a highlight.
As Chelsea gears up for their Sunday match, the focus shifts to the closing of the summer transfer window on Friday night.
Here’s a roundup of the latest Premier League news and transfer rumors.
West Ham remains keen on signing AS Roma and former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.
Foot Mercato reports that the Hammers are very interested in securing the England international, with Roma eager to offload his substantial salary.
AC Milan and Juventus have shown some interest but have not made significant moves, as Roma seeks to recoup most of the £34.7 million spent on him.
West Ham would likely need to sell players before committing such an investment.
Palace manager Oliver Glasner has emphasized the need for new recruits following the departures of Michael Olise and Joachim Andersen, with Marc Guehi also rumored to be leaving.
Glasner noted in his pre-match press conference, “We have Jes and David out on loan and did not extend Jairo’s and Tomkins’ contracts.
We’ve sold one – possibly two more. We’ve lost seven players and brought in three, so we clearly need at least two more additions.”
Liverpool is reportedly interested in Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners, a long-term target for the club.
Rudy Galetti informed TEAMtalk that Liverpool has sought information about a potential transfer.
Juventus is also keen on signing the 26-year-old, but Liverpool might attempt to intervene.
Atalanta is reportedly asking for £50.8 million (60 million euros) for Koopmeiners and prefers to sell him to a club outside Italy.
