Torino Reaches an Agreement to Sign Jansson

Italian club Torino is set to bolster their defense with the acquisition of Malmo centre-back Pontus Jansson who has received 5 caps for Sweden.

The 23 year-old has been a regular part of the Malmo line-up since the age of 19 and during that time has also forced himself into contention to be a regular player for Sweden where he has played in 5 friendly matches thus far.

Now, he is taking the next step in his career to play for Italian club Torino who have played some very good football with the likes of Cerci and Immobile heading the attack which has taken to within 5 points of a Europa League with six rounds still to be played.

Jansson featured in all of Malmo's Europa League matches this season and also made 25 appearances last season in the league.

Liverpool Target Young Boys Striker Michael Frey

English Premier League leaders Liverpool are looking towards next season with the club looking to tie up Young Boys striker Michael Frey.

The 19 year-old has been a revelation in the Swiss league with the Under-21 international bagging six goals and seven assists in 25 league appearances.

This hasn't gone unnoticed either with the Reds scouting him on up to four different occasions since January according to the Daily Star, but they will have to act soon in order to sign him with both Juventus and Borussia Monchengladbach showing interest as well.

The 5 million pound rated striker is believed to be ready to face the challenges of the EPL according to the Merseyside club despite his tender age.

Liverpool find themselves sitting in a very good position with the title in their grasp as long as they can keep Manchester City and Chelsea behind them.

Chelsea, Arsenal Lead Race for Toulouse Star Aurier

English Premier League teams Chelsea and Arsenal are both believed to be leading the race to sign Toulouse right-back Serge Aurier who has been starring in Ligue One this season.

The 21 year-old Ivorian was scouted at the weekend by Chelsea who saw Aurier's side go down to Lille in what was a narrow loss.

But they will have to face Arsenal if they want to sign the youngster who has attacked brilliantly when going forward for Toulouse this season with five goals and seven assists racked up already.

The Gunners want the player to replace Bacary Sagna who will most likely depart at the end of the season with the French international's contract expiring in the coming months.

Inter Milan Close in on Porto Striker Jackson Martinez

Italian Serie A side Inter Milan are putting a plan into action in order to sign Columbian international and FC Porto front man Jackson Martinez.

Martinez is set to follow in the footsteps of former Porto forwards Radamel Falcao, James Rodriguez and Hulk as South Americans who began their European career at the club before making a big money move after having a huge impact on the scoreboard in Portgual.

There are many teams who are interested in the 27 year-old but Inter believe that they have the plan to beat the likes of Arsenal, Roma and Chelsea to their target.

The struggling giants have put down an offer of 27 million euros plus bonuses for Martinez according to Mediaset. 

It is not the price of the release clause which Porto have in his contract, but it's definitely worth considering at the very least.

And Inter have also gotten former great and countryman Ivan Cordoba to try and convince the striker to join the club as well.

Obviously to be able to afford Martinez, Inter will have to raise some revenue to do so and since they aren't gaining any from the Champions League, president Erick Thohir will offload some players to do so.

Samir Handanovic has been highlighted as a player who could be sold due to the fact that Inter have talented youngster Francesco Bardi on their books and also ageing Argentine Diego Milito would be leaving the club due to an expiring contract which would save millions in wages.

Napoli Join Arsenal in Hunt for Michy Batshuayi

Italian Serie A side Napoli have reportedly entered the race to sign Belgian star Michy Batshuayi who has set the Pro League alight with his 18 goals this season.

Arsenal are the team who is currently leading the race to the signing of the striker however, with Wenger and co being relatively close to reaching an agreement for the 20 year-old so it may be too late for the Italian club to swoop.

The Standard Liege player has a release clause set in September for a fee in the region of 8 million euros but they are wanting a much higher total being closer to the 15 million euro mark instead.

Napoli are also in the market for a new defender to bolster the back line and it seems that Jan Vertonghan of Tottenham and also Javier Mascherano top the list with others such as Thomas Vermaelen and Martin Skrtel also being mentioned as well.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Roma After Hamburg Star Calhanoglu

Arsenal, Roma, Liverpool and Galatasaray are all in the race to sign Turkish international Hakan Calhanoglu who could leave Hamburg due to relegation. 

With just six games left, Hamburg find themselves sitting in 17th spot which in other terms would mean that if they finished the season they would drop down to the 2nd tier of German football.

If this remained the same, surely some of the likes of Calhanoglu, Adler, Tah, Jansen, Badelj, Van der Vaart and also Lasogga could all be finding a new home.

The 20 year old has been probably the standout in a poor campaign for his club with eight goals and three assists in 26 Bundesliga appearances.

With a German passport in hand, Roma would not have to use up a non-euro allocated spot which could mean that they will fight harder for the attacking midfielder as they look to bolster their list for Champions League next season.

Calhanoglu is valued at around 8.5 million euros which would surely be a price tag which would interest several more large European clubs.

Everton and Newcastle Tracking Seydou Doumbia

English Premier League clubs Newcastle and Everton and European giants Monaco and Galatasaray are reportedly battling to try and tempt CSKA Moscow into selling Seydou Doumbia.

The 26 year old striker is likely to move away from Russia during the upcoming Summer and he should have no trouble finding a home with the Ivorian finding the back of the net 13 times in just 14 appearances this season having been injured for a very large portion of the season.

Doumbia has just a year remaining on his contract which means that CSKA will probably have to sell now for a negotiable price although they would like a fee somewhere in the region of 20 million euros.

Everton want to try and bring in a new striker if they cannot retain the services from on-loan Chelsea player Romelu Lukaku to make sure they have a good chance at qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Newcastle likewise, may have to replace their on-loan striker Loic Remy who has been on song as well.
