The Boss of Goss: Leeds line up raid for Liverpool whizzkid and Andy Robertson to quit Hull
SunSport's man in the know for red-hot transfer news provides some more juicy nuggets from across the country
SUNSPORT'S man in the know for all the red-hot transfer news provides some more juicy nuggets from across the country...
Monk Ry Raid
LIVERPOOL whizkid Ryan Kent is on the radar of Leeds.
Boss Garry Monk has been impressed by his form at Barnsley during a loan spell.
Kent, 20, is happy to see out the season with the Tykes.
But Leeds will head the queue for him in the summer and Monk may make a £2.5million raid if Kop manager Jurgen Klopp decides to cash in.
Meanwhile, Burnley are looking at university student Harry Flowers — grandson of Wolves and England legend Ron.
Flowers, 20, is a strapping centre-half.
Clarets have taken him for an extended trial on the word of new youth spy Nicky Law and star spotter Ronnie Glavin.
Robert-sold
ANDY ROBERTSON will quit Hull in May whether they beat the drop or not — and spark a £10million race to sign him.
The left-back, 22, is fuming that a move to Burnley was called off when the Tigers could not find a deadline-day replacement.
Hull had agreed a £10m fee and Robertson’s contract was even sorted at Turf Moor, a month after he extended his deal with the Tigers.
Now Stoke have joined Burnley in the queue to sign the Scotland international in the summer.
Liverpool will keep an eye on his progress, as left-back is a priority for boss Jurgen Klopp.
Harry's worth
HARRY ARTER’S future at Bournemouth has been thrown into doubt after a massive offer from Watford.
The Republic of Ireland ace has been Eddie Howe’s midfield general for years but has made just three starts in 2017 — and that has stirred up the Hornets.
The Cherries turned down a £15million bid but word of that has spread like wildfire and Arter, 27, will have more interest at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, West Brom confirmed they had made a move for Callum Wilson, 24, as we revealed last week.
However, any hopes that the transfer could be pursued in the summer have been scuppered by Wilson’s latest ACL injury.
Sam-mer bid
SUNDERLAND will make a summer move for striker Sam Gallagher.
Boss David Moyes has sent scout Mick Doherty to watch the Southampton forward, 21, twice in a week at Blackburn, where he is on loan.
Gallagher’s contract is running down and that leaves the door open for a Sunderland swoop at the end of the season. The young forward has slipped down the pecking order at St Mary’s.
Gallagher — who has four England Under-20 caps — could have been snapped up on loan in the window.
But his advisers felt he was doing better under Owen Coyle and wanted him to stay at Rovers, where he has got nine goals.
BARNSLEY want to sign Blackburn’s Connor Mahoney.
The winger’s deal runs out in the summer and Tykes boss Paul Heckingbottom will make a second offer after his January bid was deemed too low.
Mahoney, 19, is unlikely to sign a new deal at Ewood Park.
Barnsley hope to agree compensation of around £150,000.
NEWCASTLE boss Rafa Benitez wants a look at Arsenal’s Swedish youngster Kristopher Da Graca ahead of a move.
The Gunners have already decided the versatile defender can leave and he may not get a regular game for their Under-23 side.
So Toon have put in a call and would like to see Da Graca at training.
SWANSEA are handing Federico Fernandez a new deal after blocking his exit.
The Argentine centre-back, 27, was wanted by West Brom in the window.
But he accepted boss Paul Clement’s decision to keep him and pay talks have been opened.
