Swansea eye TWO more signings
Swansea City are battling Torino for the services of Atalanta midfielder Luca Cigarini.The 29-year-old, who is also thought to be attracting interest from Sampdoria, has three years left on his contract and is thought to be available for around £5million.
Cigarini has been compared to Juventus great Andrea Pirlo and is dubbed 'The Professor'.
He played 33 games in Serie A last season to help Atalanta narrowly escape relegation and is understood to be keen on a move to the Premier League.
Swans boss Garry Monk is also chasing a striker, and is making a £4million swoop for Braga's Eder.
The Welsh club are ready to offer the 27-year-old a three-year deal.

New twist in Cech deal?
A little bit now on the Petr Cech to Arsenal deal - and an intriguing subplot. The Czech goalkeeper has agreed a move to the Emirates, a move that will be announced early next week.
But another thing to note is where the move leaves Christophe Lollichon, Chelsea's goalkeeping coach.
Lollichon moved to Stamford Bridge with Cech and is being widely tipped to follow him to the Gunners but he says today that as yet there's nothing doing on that front.
The Frenchman told L'Equipe "For now, it does not matter. No contact has been made.
"I do not know if this has been discussed between the two clubs, but I do not think Chelsea will be favourable."
This sounds like a man trying to move things along a little quicker than they are currently moving along. We await more.

Another new face in at West Ham
West Ham have moved to follow up their capture of Dimitri Payet with a £13.5million move for Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour.The ambitious Hammers are hoping to beat already-interested Newcastle, and a number of clubs across Europe, to the highly-rated 25-year-old centre-half.
West Ham confirmed the £14m siging of Payet from Marseille and are now hunting a high-class centre-back ahead of the new season - which for them starts in the Europa League on Thursday night.
The Upton Park club have failed in a bid to land Atletico Madrid defender Toby Alderweireld, who wants to go to Spurs after impressing last season on loan at Southampton.

United up offer for Ramos?
Could Manchester United pull off the deal of the summer?Well, reports in Spain suggest that they are going in BIG to secure top target Sergio Ramos.
Real Madrid have remained adamant the Spanish central defender is not for sale this summer but United, with another £150million warchest to spend, are keen to test their resolve.
To that end AS today report that United have upped their offer from €50million to €60million.
That is a serious price tag for a 29-year-old defender, albeit a very good one.
Real remain very keen on United goalkeeper David De Gea with United unwilling to do business and happy to let him run out his contract if his valuation is not met.
These two deals are going to run and run.

Barcelona ready to sign more this summer
It seems Barcelona aren't fussed about the trivialities of a FIFA transfer ban and they're going back out into the market.The Blaugrana can't technically sign anyone until January but that hasn't stopped them dipping into their pockets for Sevilla's Aleix Vidal already this summer.
And according to president Josep Maria Bartomeu, who is running for re-election this offseason, he won't be the last.
“We have a very reliable team for next season but besides Aleix Vidal another player will join,” he said.
“The club is not paralysed by the election process and is making sporting plans for coach Luis Enrique.
"The coach knows what we need and we will carry out those duties.”
The likes of Paul Pogba, Koke and Isco have all been linked with moves to the Nou Camp in recent months.

Jackson Martinez has revealed he will sign for Atletico Madrid this summer.The Colombian's agent suggested that a move to the Rojiblancos was in the offing earlier this week but now the man himself has confirmed the move.
"I can confirm I am going to Atletico," he said after Colombia's defeat to Argentina at the Cop America.
"I am going there for four years but I still do not know when i will be introduced."

Chelsea close in on ANOTHER Brazilian
Chelsea could be closing in on yet ANOTHER Brazilian.Reports in his homeland suggest that youngster Kenedy is on his way to Stamford Bridge after his economic rights were sold to an investment group.
Globoesporte say the 19-year-old will join the Premier League champions shortly for a fee in the region of £6million.
They say the economic rights are now split between his club Fluminense, BMG bank and the his agent.
Barcelona were believed to be close to signing him before Chelsea's intervention.
The Blues already tied up a deal for highly-rated Brazilian Nathan earlier this summer.

Spurs to rival Stoke for Moses
Tottenham are trying to sign Chelsea winger Victor Moses.Nigeria international Moses spent last season on loan at Stoke, where he scored four times in 23 games.
Mark Hughes wants him back at the Britannia next season and the Potters had been ready to request he be included in any deal, should Chelsea target Asmir Begovic to replace their Arsenal-bound keeper Petr Cech.
The 24-year-old, however, is reluctant as Spurs - who can offer Europa League football next season - have come in.
Ex-Crystal Palace trainee Moses, signed by Chelsea from Wigan in 2012 when Roberto Di Matteo was still manager, was sent out on a 12-month loan to Liverpool by Jose Mourinho when he returned to the west Londoners two years ago.
He is now considering his options, with little chance of breaking into Mourinho's first team.

Sunderland get their Coates
Liverpool's summer clearout is set to start with the £4million sale of Sebastian Coates to Sunderland, report the Liverpool Echo.The Reds have a deal in place with the Black Cats and the centre-back is expected to complete a permanent move to the Stadium of Light next week.
Coates, whose involvement in the Copa America ended when Uruguay lost to hosts Chile in the quarter-finals on Wednesday, spent last season on loan in the North East.
He was hampered by injuries and only played 13 games but enjoyed a run in the side under new boss Dick Advocaat towards the end of the campaign and helped keep them in the top flight.

Talk of the Toon?
Newcastle are ready to make a £12million bid for Anderlecht striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.The Magpies are among a number of clubs, including Swansea and Portuguese champions Benfica, keen on the 20-year-old Serbian marksman.
Signed from Serbian club Partizan Belgrade two years ago, Mitrovic scored 23 goals over the past season.
Partizan would be entitled to a sell-on clause for the player, who has 13 caps for his country and has scored one goal.
The Toon netted just 40 times in the league last season, as they avoided relegation on the final day.

Trio in for QPR's Phillips
Back to the Premier League and some news for mid-table mediocrity fans to enjoy.Only joking.
The Telegraph report this morning that QPR's Matt Phillips is on the radar of Crystal Palace, West Brom and Sunderland.
The Rs winger enjoyed a stellar end to the season with assists galore. Not that that helped the doomed West Londoners, mind.
They apparently want £8million for Phillips. It remains to be seen whether any of his suitors are willing to go that high.

City move for cut-price Delph
Manchester City are ready to exploit an astonishingly low buy-out clause in Fabian Delph’s new contract.MirrorSport can reveal Aston Villa and England midfielder Delph is available for only around £10million under the terms of the deal he signed in January.
Delph had relegation-threatened Villa over a barrel when he shocked many fans by staying on fresh terms barely five months ago.
He was due to be a Bosman this summer, which would have allowed him to quit for nothing.
But Villa did not want to see him leave on a free and also did not want to sell in the winter window, when they were fighting the drop.

Manchester United playing hardball
Manchester United are willing to run down David De Gea’s contract and
lose him for nothing next summer - unless Real Madrid meet their
valuation.The Old Trafford giants, who want to sign Real defender Sergio Ramos, are in talks with the Spanish club over a deal for De Gea - who is determined to move to the Bernabeu after four years in England.
With De Gea entering the final year of his deal, Real are only willing to offer £20million for the 24-year-old, whom United value at £35m despite his contractual position having reduced his market worth.
United are demanding Real pay their asking price for De Gea and will play hardball, insisting the La Liga club must make him the world’s most expensive goalkeeper if they want him now.
Real, meanwhile, have rejected a £35m bid from United for World Cup-winning defender Ramos and told them to make an improved offer if they are serious about signing the 29-year-old.
