Premier League players that could be on the move this transfer window
Cesc Fabregas: The longest transfer story of the summer is easily that of Cesc Fabregas the Arsenal captain. At one point in time he looks all set to sign for Barcelona, then the next he commits his future to Arsenal. It is no secret that the Arsenal captain has a strong desire to return to the Camp Nou, and the Barcelona officials are willing to let him fulfil that desire. However the price tag of forty million pounds that Arsenal have slapped onto his shoulders has been throwing the Catalan club off and making them reluctant to go through with the transfer. Whether it happens this year or next, this is a transfer that is just waiting to happen.
James Milner: After having a more than impressive season with Aston Villa and some decent performances for England in the World Cup, Manchester City are rumoured to be willing to spend as much as twenty five million pounds to land the midfielder. Some might argue and say that they could get far better players for that price, but the City officials and management has made up its mind and is going to get their man, no matter what happens. Milner recently told his club that he wished to leave and now it’s just a matter of when he does and not if.
Ashley Cole: At the current moment the least liked person in England is arguably, Ashley Cole. This hate from the media and the fans around the country have made Cole desperate to get out of the country and get some breathing room. He is currently rumoured to be on a move to Real Madrid, with Jose Mourinho insisting that he wants the left back to be a part of the Madrid squad under any circumstance. Chelsea on the other hand have said that they do not want to let the player go under any circumstance. If the player puts in a formal request demanding a move out of the club, there isn’t much that Chelsea will be able to do about it.
Mikel Arteta: Arteta had an injury stricken season last term. He however managed to make a great comeback in the last few weeks of the season. Arsenal who are currently looking to replace Fabregas in case he decides to leave have turned their attention to Arteta. The midfielder posses the technique, control and mind set to replace Fabregas at Arsenal and he might be tempted to move to Arsenal and be able to display his potential to the world.
Javier Mascherano: The one player who was least happy about Rafa Benitez leaving Liverpool, was Mascherano. Every since the managers departure, the player has been expressing his desire to rejoin him and play under him no matter where he goes. Rafa is now in charge of Inter Milan and made numerous approaches for the player. Liverpool have constantly been turning down those offers, but with the player handing in an official transfer request the Anfield officials can’t go on like this and will now be listening to some serious offers for him.
Mark Schwarzer: Arsenal have identified that there weakest link in the squad has been none other than their goal keeper. Having identified the problem they looked to see who would make the perfect replacement for the number one jersey at the club, they looked no further than Fulham and found Schwarzer to be the perfect person to take over in between the sticks at The Emirates. Arsenal have had a few offers turned down by Fulham for the keeper but they are willing to re assess their bid and land the man under any cost.
