West Ham were once known as the “Academy of Football”, but former Hammers boss Harry Redknapp has told GOAL why “something has to be done” about the lack of exciting youngsters breaking through at top Premier League clubs. Chelsea and Liverpool are considered to form part of that problem, with Arsenal wonderkid Max Dowman proving to be a break from the norm at present.

Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has dropped an intriguing hint regarding a potential return to the managerial dugout in the future. The German tactician carefully sidestepped direct questions regarding whether Spanish giants Real Madrid had ever presented a concrete career option for him.

Elliot Anderson may be Manchester City-bound this summer, with Gary Pallister telling GOAL that Sandro Tonali is “more of a Manchester United” player as the Red Devils mull over splashing out £100 million ($132m) on a new midfielder. Reinforcements in that area of the field are required, with transfer raids being considered on Premier League rivals such as Nottingham Forest and Newcastle.

Newcastle United have received a significant boost in their ongoing search for a high-quality replacement for Anthony Gordon. German outfit RB Leipzig are expected to accept a reduced fee of around £43 million for their versatile 21-year-old winger Antonio Nusa, who has been heavily scouted by the Tyneside club during the summer window.
