Manchester United transfer news: Daniel James to undergo his medical ahead of £15m move

Swansea star Daniel James will leave the Wales camp to undergo a medical at Manchester United today.


The 21-year-old winger has been preparing for his nation’s Euro 2020 qualification double-header against Croatia and Hungary, but has been allowed to break away from Ryan Giggs’ squad, who are training near Chester.

Daniel James scored in his second Wales appearance – a 1-0 win against Slovakia


United and Swansea have been negotiating a deal worth £15million for James, who caught the eye in the Championship last season and he is likely to become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first signing at Old Trafford.


James was handed his first-team debut by Carlos Carvalhal 62 minutes into Swansea’s 8-1 FA Cup fourth-round replay against Notts County in February 2018 and scored a memorable goal.


Since then he has gone from strength to strength and established himself as a match-winner for both club and country.


Giggs’ team go into their match against World Cup finalists Croatia on the back of James’ goal giving them a winning start against Slovakia in Group E.











Giggs, a United legend recently admitted he was prepared for transfer activity to disrupt his team’s preparations.


“Sometimes you can’t stop it, but all I can do is put in the players’ minds how important these games are,” Giggs said.


James had come close to signing for Leeds in the January transfer window before a deal collapsed, giving Premier League clubs an opportunity to sign the EFL’s hottest property.


Signed from Hull’s academy in 2014 for £72,000, he followed in the footsteps of Joe Allen and Ben Davies by going from the youth set up to first team player and it was under Graham Potter where he made his Championship bow, against Birmingham in August 2018.

Chelsea news: Rob Green announces retirement following Europa League triumph

Chelsea goalkeeper Rob Green has announced he has retired from playing football.


The former England goalkeeper had been with the Blues for a year but did not make an appearance, although he was in Baku for Wednesday’s 4-1 Europa League final win over Arsenal.




Rob Green has called time on his career

Rob Green has called time on his career


Green started his career at Norwich and made 12 appearances for England.


He said in a statement: “Following an incredible evening in Baku on Wednesday and after a 23 year career spanning three decades, I’ve decided that now is the right time to announce my retirement from professional football.


“Being part of the group and celebrations with such a special squad of players after winning the Europa League seems a fitting way to end what’s been an amazing journey for me in the game.”


Green also played for West Ham, QPR and Leeds, winning promotion to the Premier League with the Hammers and Rangers.


He won the First Division title with Norwich in 2004 and started the 2010 World Cup as England’s first choice goalkeeper.











But Green was dropped following the opening 1-1 draw with the United States after allowing Clint Dempsey’s tame shot to creep through his legs.


Green added: “I’ve had the joy of representing some fantastic clubs, all of whom have helped to shape me in their own varying way.


“Thank you to all of the fans and everybody connected with Norwich City, West Ham United, Queens Park Rangers, Leeds United, Huddersfield Town and Chelsea. Representing my country will always be one of my proudest achievements and I feel honoured to have played for England.


“Thank you to all of the managers, coaches and staff I’ve worked with and thank you to all of the teammates that I’ve shared a dressing room with over the years.


“Collectively we’ve shared some amazing times and I leave the game with memories that I’ll always treasure.”

Manchester United transfer news: Paul Pogba ‘agrees terms’ with Real Madrid and ‘asks Red Devils to sell him’

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has requested a move to Real Madrid after agreeing personal terms with the Spanish club, reports claim.


The Frenchman’s future is a source of constant speculation – and many expect him to join Madrid this summer after he admitted the move would be a ‘dream’.

The unsettled Paul Pogba is looking increasingly likely to wave goodbye to Manchester this summer



Bernabeu boss Zinedine Zidane is a known admirer of his compatriot, and according to Spanish outlet AS, Pogba has already agreed a £10million-a-year deal with the La Liga giants.


Nonetheless, United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains adamant his star midfielder will stay at Old Trafford.


Speaking ahead of the Premier League clash with Chelsea on Sunday, the Norwegian said: “You can’t guarantee anything in football but yes, I think Paul is going to be here.















“I can assure you he is very determined to succeed at Manchester United.”


Pogba has been involved in more United goals than any other player this season and was the only non-Liverpool or Manchester City player to feature in the PFA Team of the Year.


But his form has been erratic – and many questioned whether he deserved his place in the PFA’s XI.

Solskjaer defended the 26-year-old, saying: “That’s just the standards he’s set.


“When he’s creating chances, scoring goals, doing loads of work – media, supporters, it’s everyone who looks to Paul. Could he have done better?


“Paul’s done fantastic for us. He’s human. We’re all the same that we want him to do well.


“He’s a leader in that dressing room and on the pitch for us. He will be here as far as I can answer that.”

Real Madrid transfer news: How Zinedine Zidane’s side could line up featuring Paul Pogba, Christian Eriksen and Eden Hazard

This is rarely the case but right now, Real Madrid are a fragile club.


It’s been a dreadful season for Los Blancos by their exceptional standards as they lie twelve points adrift of LaLiga table-toppers Barcelona, they were knocked out of the Champions League after being taught a footballing lesson by Ajax and are also out of the Copa del Rey.





There have been many low points for Real Madrid this season

The reappointment of Zinedine Zidane as manager may give the club a lift but there is still a lot of work to do at the Bernabeu.


However, despite all the doom and gloom, Real Madrid continue to be linked with some of the top names in world football.


Chelsea star Eden Hazard appears to be holding out for a move to the Spanish capital while Manchester United’s Paul Pogba recently said playing for Real under Zidane would be a ‘dream’.


Meanwhile, Christian Eriksen’s transfer to Real is a ‘very strong possibility’, talkSPORT has been told.

So with this in mind, we at talkSPORT.com have looked at how they could line up should the world-class trio sign up?


Below you can see how Real Madrid could look with Pogba, Hazard and Eriksen in it.















Goalkeeper (Thibaut Courtois)


There have been question marks about Thibaut Courtois this season but given his contract lasts until 2024, he’s viewed as a long-term investment by the club.


If David de Gea ever becomes available then the Belgian might have something to worry about but for now Courtois’ position as the No.1 keeper looks reasonably safe.





Courtois hasn’t had it all his own way this season

Courtois hasn’t had it all his own way this season



Defence (Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal)


Real have looked frail at the back on frequent occasions this season but they still have world-class defenders among their ranks.


And if anyone can galvanise them into getting their form back it’s Zidane, who is adored by everyone connected with the club having won three Champions League titles in his first stint as manager as well as a catalogue of trophies as a player for Los Blancos.


Reports have emerged that Raphael Varane is considering his future in Spain with Manchester United lurking but surely the France international wouldn’t turn his back on arguably the biggest club in the world and French football legend Zidane.





It would be a bug call for Varane to turn his back on Zidane

It would be a bug call for Varane to turn his back on Zidane



Midfield (Pogba, Casemiro, Eriksen)


Although Luka Modric won the Ballon d’Or this year, Real Madrid will be looking to find a long-term replacement for the midfielder who turns 34 this year.


And it looks like Pogba can see himself playing for the Spanish giants one day and European football expert Kevin Hatchard said on talkSPORT 2 that Eriksen could also be set for a move to Spain.







Manchester United should ‘GET RID’ of Paul Pogba, talkSPORT told




Bringing N’Golo Kante to Real would benefit Pogba hugely and also fill that Claude Makelele shaped hole that the club have lacked since 2004 but rumours that the Chelsea man wants to leave Stamford Bridge have gone quiet lately.





Pogba might have his eyes on the Bernabeu

Toni Kroos has been omitted from this XI as there is speculation the German is heading to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.


Attack (Isco, Benzema, Hazard)


Hazard, who has revealed Zidane is someone he looks up to, moving to Real would give them an added freshness up front.





Hazard’s move to Madrid appears to be inevitable

Hazard’s move to Madrid appears to be inevitable



His preferred position is on the left of a front three and he would get many opportunities to score given Karim Benzema spent many seasons being the bridesmaid to ex-Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.


The spot on the right of the front three is up for grabs and although Gareth Bale started Real Madrid’s win over Celta Vigo last weekend, his future at the club is by no means secure and Isco was preferred by Zidane last season.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek has revealed he has no plans to leave Chelsea.


The 23-year-old has nine goals for the Blues this season but has been mostly utilised from the bench.


Many Chelsea fans have called for the England midfielder to be given more minutes on the pitch and there were some fears he could leave in search of regular first-team football.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is going nowhere


Loftus-Cheek has two years left to run on his Blues deal and they are keen to tie him down to a longer-term deal.


The news he wants to stay will be a boost as they saw their appeal against their two transfer window ban rejected.


When asked if he is already in talks over a new deal, Loftus-Cheek grinned and said: “I’m not sure, I let my agent deal with it. I’m not thinking about that right now.


“It’s important for me to focus on the here and now, and I’m playing right now.


“It’s looking good so there’s no reason why I should think about leaving Chelsea.”

And when told he deserves a pay rise, Loftus-Cheek laughed and added: “There’s no reason for me to leave. If I get a pay rise, that’ll be great.”


Loftus-Cheek will take a pivotal role in Chelsea’s Europa League semi-final second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.


N’Golo Kante will miss out due to a hamstring issue that leaves the France World Cup-winner in a race against time to be fit for the Europa League final should Chelsea reach the May 29 showpiece.

Loftus-Cheek has battled injury problems of his own and Blues manager Maurizio Sarri has previously admitted fearing the midfielder could battle niggling back problems for the rest of his career.


But the England international is confident he can overcome his long-term back spasms.


“I’ve had back injuries, lower back spasms, since I was 16 or 17 up to now,” said Loftus-Cheek.


“It’s something I’ve had in the latter part of my career, and it’s something I’ve had to deal with and manage with the physios. It’s hindered me a lot.

“But over the years learning about my body with the physios, we’ve come up with a routine to keep it at bay. We’re working a lot.


“I don’t think it’s something I’ll have to suffer for the rest of my career. I’m feeling really good now, the best I’ve felt. I’ve not had a twinge in my back for weeks now. It’s looking really good.


“Playing the most games I’ve played this season, playing every three days, it’s something I’ve never done before.


“It’s important I get the right rest so my back’s OK. So I might not do a whole training session two days after a game. I might just do half of it. I taper it that way.











“It’s a good feeling to be seen as an important player for the team, to help the team win games. I think it’s something I’ve never felt in my career.


“I’ve always been on the bench. At Palace, I felt like an important player, that I could help the team win games and be one of the main men in the team.


“Hopefully with more games and experience, I can be that player for Chelsea, too.”
