VIDAL DEAL UPDATE
Reports linking Arturo Vidal to Arsenal are wide of the mark, according to Sky sources.
The Juventus midfielder was “90% certain” to make a move to north London, according to reports in Spain.
CHERRIES STEP UP GRADEL PURSUIT
Bournemouth are apparently considering making a bid for former Leeds and Leicester winger Max Gradel.
The 27-year-old left Leeds for St Etienne in 2011 and, according to the Daily Mirror, is keen on a move back to England.
The Cherries reportedly had a £4million bid rejected earlier this month but will go with back with £5m even though St Etienne are holding out for £7m.
Gradel spent time on loan with Bournemouth in 2007/08.
Yeah, they need one because although they have a few 'nippy forwards' who can fill in for Giroud when he's injured, none of them can lead the line like he can.
(Arguably, a bit like us & Pelle)
Yeah, I hate Downing, but even I thought he was actually decent last year. Dangerous ground for them, for sure.
My claim to shame last season was Hull- I actually thought they did good business last summer.
