MIGNOLET IS WANTED MAN
Our favourite thing about Simon Mignolet is that the Sunderland fans sing his name to the tune of The Lion Sleeps Tonight (a-Mignolet, a-Mignolet, a-Mignolet, a-Mignolet). Our second favourite thing is that he is rather a good goalkeeper.
It seems that Manchester United and Arsenal have noticed the latter (if not the former) and 'are both keeping tabs on the Sunderland keeper', according to The Sun. The Belgian cost Sunderland just £2m when he joined in 2010 but we suspect his price tag has risen into the £7-8m bracket in the last three years.
DI MARIA FOR SALE
Angel Di Maria looked pretty damned good against Manchester United last week, but the Daily Mirror claims that the Argentine winger 'is being offered around Europe to top clubs including Manchester United and Paris Saint Germain' after an 'indifferent season' at the Bernabeu.
The report does not confirm that United are interested or indeed speculate about a price tag, but we would suggest that United should be interested when the alternative is the willing but one-footed Antonio Valencia.
LIVERPOOL LOOK AT LOVREN
'Liverpool are weighing up a summer move for Lyon defender Dejan Lovren,' is a line in the Daily Mail. So what do we know about Lovren? He's 23. He's Croatian. He started his career at Dinamo Zagreb. He's apparently also a target for Chelsea and Everton. He's primarily a centre-back but can also play at right-back. He would probably cost around £7m.
So what do we know about Liverpool? They need a centre-back.
