For all the latest reports and transfer rumours, visit our dedicated section here.

Everton are believed to be on the verge of a £13 million swoop for Nice forward Loic Remy.

The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League, with Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Stoke City thought to be interested in his services.

Recently the Frenchman also voiced his opinion concerning a potential move to England, hoping that his club would allow him to join Spurs.

But now the Daily Mail reports that the Toffees are on the brink of launching a £13m splurge to land the forward.

Part of this potential acquisition will reportedly be financed by the sale of Yakubu to West Ham, who are thought to be looking at alternatives to Remy, having previously chased the forward.

Sure it's a big day, but let's not forget those who have got some celebrating to do. Shaggy-haired ex-Liverpool midfielder Steve McManaman turns 40 today, while Rafa Van der Vaart should be blowing out 29 candles on his cake after the Newcastle game later.

That's got us thinking about footballers with particularly apt birthday names, with our very own Jonathan Birchall offering up 'Cake Livermore' right away. I'm sure you can beat that - Tweet us with your efforts using #birthdayfootballers

Arsenal travel to The Stadium of Light to take on Martin O'Neill's resurgent Sunderland, while Norwich City and Swansea City face off in a juicy, promoted-side battle.
