Transfer News And Views: 2-05-2003
With the end of the season and the opening of a new transfer window in sight,
Barclaycard Premiership clubs are on the lookout for new players, and
4thegame brings you the latest news, rumour and hearsay from the transfer
market.
SAVIO SUITED TO SPURS
Who? - Savio
Where is he? - Real Madrid
Who is he linked with? - London
Spurs may be alerted to the fact that Real Madrid star Savio has expressed
an interest in moving to a Premiership club in London this summer. The
Brazilian, currently on loan at French club Bordeaux, is almost certain to
leave The Bernabeu when his contract runs out on 30 June. Bordeaux are keen
to retain his services but may not have the finances, leaving the 29-year-old
open to offers. And Savio's agent, Joao Areias, says England - and more
specifically London - could well be his destination.
RED ALERT FOR RONALDINHO
Who? - Ronaldinho
Where is he? - PSG
Who is he linked with? - Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United
Liverpool are a surprise late addition to the list of clubs showing an
interest in Ronaldinho. Although Paris St Germain's Brazilian World Cup
star is believed to favour a move to the Italian Serie A, Liverpool have
joined Manchester United and Arsenal in a bid to bring him to the Premiership.
Gerard Houllier was spotted at the French Cup semi final in the Parc de Prince
on Sunday and the Liverpool boss is a big fan of the 23-year-old forward.
VAN THE MAN TO DEFEND THE GUNNERS
Who? - Kevin Hofland
Where is he? - PSV Eindhoven
Who is he linked with? - Arsenal
Arsenal are rumoured to be set to make a move for Dutch international
defender Kevin Hofland. The PSV Eindhoven star is out of contract in the
summer and the Gunners could land the player for a cut-priced fee. Hofland,
who's season has been wrecked by an ankle injury, is a former ￡10m target
for Manchester United and tipped for a big move in the near future. Arsenal
are tight for cash as they try to build a new stadium, but are certain to
sign a defender in the summer as Martin Keown nears retirement and Pascal
Cygan struggles in the Premiership.
RESTLESS DI CANIO LOOKS TO HOME
Who? - Paolo Di Canio
Where is he? - West Ham
Who is he linked with? - Lazio
According to the agent of unsettled West Ham striker Paolo Di Canio, the
player is very keen to move to Lazio. "Paolo is desperate to return to
Lazio 300 per cent," said Moreno Roggi. "And from the declarations that I
read in the newspapers, the club is interested. "However, for the moment
I have not had contact directly with the club." Di Canio has also been
linked with Portsmouth.
TRACTOR BOY LOOKS TO THE BIG TIME
Who? - Matt Holland
Where is he? - Ipswich Town
Who is he linked with? - Barclaycard Premiership
Ipswich Town midfielder Matt Holland has revealed that he is hoping to
secure a summer move to a Premiership club. The Republic of Ireland
international will not be playing with Ipswich in the Premiership next
season as the Suffolk-based club have missed out on the play-offs and
Holland is desperate to return to English football's top flight. "I want
to play at the highest level and I want to play in the Premiership," he said.
