TRANSFER NEWS: Arsenal Linked With Former Midfielder, Liverpool/Utd After Winger
Here are some of the transfer stories doing the rounds lately involving Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd.
Diarra, Real Madrid to Arsenal
Here’s a piece of gossip from the newspaper, The Daily Mirror as they claim that Arsenal are apparently:
“being offered the chance to re-sign Lassana Diarra from Real Madrid – three years after flogging him to Portsmouth.”

Apparently he is unhappy with the lack of playing time at the Bernabau and is intent on moving on to greener pastures. Well, he is apparently available for quite a hefty price of 12 million pounds, a figure that Wenger will be unlikely to accept considering his distaste at signing expensive players.
Ashley Young (and Stewart Downing), Aston Villa to Liverpool/or Man Utd
The Times, Sun, Mirror, Telegraph and Guardian have all ran stories about Young moving to Liverpool, with all of them having different takes on the potential deal.
Here’s what the newspaper, Guardian had to say:
United and Liverpool are vying for Young’s services but the prospect of a significant increase on his £65,000-a-week Villa salary at Anfield, plus more regular first-team football than he may receive at Old Trafford, is understood to have tilted the contest in Dalglish’s favour.
And here’s what The Times had to say:
Liverpool are keen to sign two top-class wide players during the next transfer window.
I doubt that 4 top British newspapers would seriously get their story wrong, and on the same morning, so it will certainly be interesting to watch this one. But one thing’s for certain, Young is convinced that he will get more playing time with Liverpool than United.
