At last, the Mill can report action on the Jack Grealish front. The winger, left twiddling his thumbs at home while his Manchester City teammates fried at the Copa Gianni, is attracting serious interest from Tottenham, Newcastle and Napoli after City slapped a cut-price £40m yellow sticker on a player who cost them two-and-a-half times that three years ago. The Sun reports that Grealish’s £300,000 weekly wage could prove a sticking point, but the interest in him is real, nor is a move back to Aston Villa ruled out.
It feel as if Hugo Ekitike has been closing in on a Premier League move all summer and Liverpool’s interest in the Eintracht Frankfurt forward – who has been strongly linked with Manchester United – is now being talked up. The English champions are reported to have been in dialogue with Eintracht since April, but have already splurged heavily on strikers in this window. A deal for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi may be likelier, but Liverpool will have to duke it out with Newcastle who, according to GiveMeSport, are confident of winning the race for the defender.
