  • West Ham are keen to bring former Manchester United striker JAVIER HERNANDEZ back to the Premier League, according to the Daily Telegraph.

    The 29-year-old has a year remaining on his contract with Bayer Leverkusen and has a £13million release clause in that deal.

    Hernandez scored 11 goals in the Bundesliga last season and Leverkusen have yet to make any moves in extending his contract, giving further encouragement to the Hammers.

    Everton are confident of striking a deal to see WAYNE ROONEY return to Goodison Park reports talkSPORT.

    Manchester United’s record goalscorer has dropped down the pecking order at Old Trafford under Jose Mourinho and Rooney could now follow Davy Klaassen, Jordan Pickford and Michael Keane in joining the Toffees.

    The 31-year-old still has a year remaining on his contract with the Red Devils but Ronaldo Koeman’s side remain confident a deal can be made.

    United boss Mourinho wants ALVARO MORATA and NEMANJA MATIC to join the club before the end of the week, according to the Daily Star.

    United head off on a pre-season tour of the United States on Sunday and Mourinho wants both players to be on the plane for the trip.

    Defender Victor Lindelof is the only new arrival at Old Trafford so far as Chelsea are waiting to finalise a deal for Monaco’s Tiemoue Bakayoko before allowing Matic to leave and Morata’s move is held up by Real Madrid’s interest in United goalkeeper David De Gea.

    And finally, the Guardian reports that Crystal Palace have been put off by a £30million asking price for Liverpool defender MAMADOU SAKHO.

    New Eagles boss Frank de Boer believes he can bring in up to five players for the combined cost of the Frenchman and the Merseyside giants are refusing to drop their valuation.
