Kurzawa, Hudson-Odoi, Emerson Palmieri, Antony Feature In Football Transfer Roundup

 

Prime Business Africa presents titbits from the latest round of football transfer news making the rounds across Europe on Tuesday evening.

Fulham want to sign PSG‘s Layvin Kurzawa as priority target in the left back position.

Negotiations with AS Roma are said to be progressing also on a deal for Justin Kluivert.

Ajax forward Antony is still hopeful of forcing his way out of the Dutch club with Manchester United having agreed personal terms with his representatives.

All parties involved expect United to return with an improved proposal for the forward soon.

West Ham United have submitted a new bid for Hans Vanaken. The London side are proposing €11m guaranteed fee plus, add-ons but it is gathered that it was not enough to convince Brugge.

It is unlikely that Club Brugge will allow their captain leave for that amount with less than 10 days to the end of the transfer window.

Meanwhile West Ham on Tuesday unveiled former Chelsea left back, Emerson Palmieri on a permanent basis following his Medicals on Monday.

The deal is worth £12m plus £2m in add-ons fees. It is a four-year deal with an option for a one year extension.

Everton on Tuesday evening asked Chelsea to include either Armando Broja or Cornor Gallagher on loan as part of the deal to sign Anthony Gordon.

Youngster Gordon was an unused substitute in Everton’s EFL Cup game on Tuesday evening against Fleetwood Town.

Callum Hudson-Odoi’s brother and father are in advanced talks with Bayer Leverkusen for a loan deal as, many as 20 sides were interested.
