One other day, one other forward is linked with Manchester United with widespread reports suggesting free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin could possibly be snapped up by the Europa League runners-up.
The England international is out there after failing to sign a brand new cope with Everton after nine seasons at Goodison Park which promised greatness just for injuries to limit his potential.
Championship winners Leeds United were keen on signing the 28-year-old last month but dropped their interest due to his wage demands and it’s believed the previous Toffees goal man ideally wants to affix a club which is involved in Europe next season.
Champions League Newcastle, who’re 11/2 with William Hill and bet365, could be ideal candidates as they’re looking for a goalscorer to push Alexander Isak after recently missing out on Brighton forward Joao Pedro who has opted to sign for Chelsea.
But moving from Merseyside to Manchester would appeal to Calvert-Lewin and Old Trafford boss Ruben Amorim is reportedly keen on the switch, especially if he can get Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia off the payroll with Rasmus Hojlund also primed to depart.
Calvert-Lewin only scored thrice in 26 Premier League outings last season but has previously managed double figures in back-to-back campaigns and would line up with Matheus Cunha, who has been snapped up from Wolves for £62.5million.
United have offered Brentford an analogous amount for Cameroon attacker Bryan Mbeumo however the Bees are holding out for not less than £65million with United still monitoring the situation between Viktor Gyokeres and Amorim’s former club Sporting, although Arsenal appear to carry the upper hand if negotiations develop.
Calvert-Lewin’s decision to run down his Everton contract and grow to be a free agent saves money for United which will be spent elsewhere and the lure of playing for one in every of the largest clubs on this planet would satisfy his ambitions. That makes odds of 5/1 with Hills that he’s wearing the famous red shirt at the beginning of next term difficult to disregard.
Wimbledon odds: End of the road for Cilic
Marin Cilic is having fun with a renaissance within the twilight of his profession with a robust run into the second week at Wimbledon, but it surely is feasible he’ll find his next rival too hot to handle.
The 36-year-old has been involved in a few gruelling matches with a four-set victory over British hope Jack Draper followed by an analogous success against Jaume Munar, who took the prized scalp of Alexander Bublik, a dark horse to win the title before a ball was hit, in the primary round.
Next up it’s Flavio Cobolli, who has yet to drop a set, and the twenty second seed’s last victory was a powerful one against No.15 seed Jakub Mensik. The Italian is evens to achieve the quarter-finals with William Hill, Betfred and 888Sport.
Clara Tauson has never reached the quarter-finals of a grand slam but that may change if she beats Iga Swiatek in what guarantees to be an exhilarating match as Wimbledon’s women’s singles battle gathers pace.
The 22-year-old right-hander from Denmark can be filled with confidence after defeating former champion Elena Rybakina in straight sets within the last round and may push Swiatek, who has picked up form on grass after losing her French Open crown at Roland Garros last month, all the way in which.
It’s 13/8 with Paddy Power, Betfair and Sky Bet this goes to a deciding set and although the end result is a tougher call, a small flutter on Tauson winning 2-1 is interesting at 13/2 with Ladbrokes, Coral, Sporting Index and SpreadEx.
