Here’s the latest European Tranfer News including Carlos Tevez reaching an agreement to sign with Manchester City and Emmanuel Adebayor as the next possible transfer to Man City.
Carlos Tevez to sign with Man City - Manchester City have confirmed an agreement has been reached to sign Carlos Tevez on a five-year contract.
Tevez has been widely expected to join City after the end of his two-year loan spell at local rivals Manchester United.
The Argentine failed to agree on an extension at Old Trafford and had also been linked with fellow Premier League clubs Chelsea and Liverpool.
The 25-year-old revealed he would not sign for Liverpool due to their rivalry with United, but has opted for a deal with neighbours City.
He is due to undergo a medical before signing the paperwork, with the deal having been ratified by the Premier League and the Football Association.
City boss Mark Hughes is delighted to have snapped up the former South American Footballer of the Year and expects Tevez to add another dimension to his team.
Outstanding
“It is terrific news,” Hughes told the club’s official website. “Carlos is an international player of the highest class who possesses all the attributes that will help drive this club forward.
“He is not only outstanding technically, but he is a reliable goalscorer and someone who will contribute fully to the team ethic. He gives us another exciting, attacking dimension.
“I cannot wait to welcome him to City. This is yet another deal that shows the commitment of the owner Sheikh Mansour to make this club the very best it can possibly be. I am sure our fans will give Carlos an exceptionally warm welcome.”
Tevez had joined United in 2007 after a season with West Ham and formed a potent partnership with Wayne Rooney
during his debut campaign.
However, last summer’s arrival of Dimitar Berbatov saw Tevez play a less prominent role in key matches and he was unhappy with being on the bench on a regular basis.
He will now form a new-look City attack, with Roque Santa Cruz having been signed from Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor also a target. - SkySports.com – http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5432260,00.html
Man City in talks with Arsenal about Adebayor - Sky Sports News understands Manchester City have held talks with Arsenal over the possible signing of striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
Adebayor has been linked with a move away from Arsenal this summer, with a number of European clubs said to be interested in his services.
Sky Sports News’ chief news reporter Bryan Swanson has been told by sources that a five-year deal has been proposed, for a transfer fee of £22m, and personal terms of £170,000-a-week.
Sources have told Swanson that Arsenal have agreed to sell the Togo international, whose future looked to be settled after his agent recently stated he would be staying at Emirates Stadium.
The 25-year-old signed for the Gunners from Monaco in 2006 and has scored 62 goals in 142 appearances for the North London club.
Reports have suggested Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could turn to Bordeaux forward Marouane Chamakh as a replacement for Adebayor.
City have already signed Gareth Barry and Roque Santa Cruz from Aston Villa and Manchester City since the end of last season.
Mark Hughes is also believed to be lining up a swoop for former Manchester United forward Carlos Tevez, while Chelsea captain John Terry is a known target.
Manager Hughes is keen to build a side capable of breaking up the so-called ‘big four’, and the potential captures of Tevez and Adebayor would demonstrate real intent.
Manchester City and Arsenal have both stated they will not comment on transfer speculation. – SkySports.com - http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5430969,00.html
