The transfer chat has become so hot this week, it’s becoming a steamy window, to call up the late Tina Turner. Let’s begin with some housekeeping on the stories you may already be familiar with. Declan Rice is heading for Arsenal after Manchester City dropped out of the race, having forced the price north of £100m. Next up Harry Kane, still linked with Bayern Munich, who are now willing to up the price to £80m.
The current talk of the transfer taverns is Spanish midfielder Gabri Veiga, 21, for whom Celta Vigo have a €40m (£34.5m) release clause. He’s wanted by Manchester City, while Liverpool and Chelsea fancy him too. Seems like Veiga is considered next-best to Rice, and far cheaper as well.
