Football transfer rumours: Tottenham to sign Galatasaray defender Nelsson?

A nge Postecoglou’s summer rebuild at Tottenham will require some money spent on defenders because they were pretty much all terrible last season. Davinson Sánchez is rumoured to want out and Clément Lenglet’s future is uncertain, with the centre-back not knowing whether or not he is heading back to Barcelona. One name emerging as a potential arrival in north London is Galatasaray’s Victor Nelsson, who would cost in the region of £22m after a couple of great seasons in Turkey. The Danish international finished the season with the Turkish title and would be keen on making the step up to the Premier League.

Speaking of the Super Lig champions, Galatasaray have enquired about the Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana to see if there is something to be done there. They had a look at the Ivorian in January but a deal could not be done, so they are back again.

When Manchester United beat rivals City to the signing of Fred five years ago, the fans must have thought they had acquired a man who would one day have a statue outside Old Trafford. Half a decade on, the midfielder has expressed a desire to be a more important figure after becoming a bit-part player under Erik ten Hag and his predecessors. Fulham are monitoring the Brazilian in the hope of luring him to London with the vague promise of more time on the pitch. Another potential Craven Cottage target is the Norwich right-back Max Aarons, who has been linked with a Carrow Road exit ever since he played his first game for the club. Could this be the year?

With the possibility that Jordan Pickford is off to Manchester United, Everton need to come up with a cunning plan to replace him. The most natural thing to do at this stage would be to find another English goalkeeper,
