Transfers at English Premier league

While the world is focusing on South Africa as the business end of the world cup is approaching , the clubs have already swung into action and have started making enquiries about the availability of players and coaches . No club would like to fall behind in the crucial summer transfer window and each club will look to bolster their options in all departments before the season kicks off .

Liverpool have had a season of turmoil . With Rafael Benitez departing Anfield , people have been speculating for some time as to who would be the next boss at Anfield . Kenny Dalglish and Roy Hodgeson had emerged as the two possible candidates but Liverpool FC have other plans in mind . Their main target is Marseille coach Didier Deschamps who has made a great start to his managerial career .

Meanwhile Fabregas has intensified speculations he might be leaving Arsenal sooner if not later by declaring Pep Guardiola to be his idol . However it is unlikely that Arsene Wenger will leave him and neither will Barcelona be able to match his exorbitant transfer price . This issue is going to go till the ends for sure . Arsenal fans have another good news as they are close to signing Mark Schwarzer for 3.5 million pounds . However the deal is yet to be done .

Chelsea have secured the services of Nicolas Anelka with both parties agreeing to a one year contract extension to his previous contract . David Silva has reportedly agreed a four-year deal with Manchester City and looks set to complete a €35 million move to the Eastlands.

Despite an 11th hour bid from Chelsea to hijack the move, it appears that City manager Roberto Mancini has successfully convinced the Valencia star to be the part of his ambitious plans with the Citizens.

Newcastle United coach Chris Hughton had earlier said about the limitations of his transfer kitty and hence he is looking at a number of loan options including Jack Wilshere and the talented Slovak Vladimir Weiss among the notable names . Meanwhile after a good season at Eastlands , Craig Bellamy will depart from Eastlands as he does not want to stay on the bench . The hot headed but creative striker is set to return to his hometown club Cardiff city who themselves missed promotion by losing the playoff finals .

Joe Cole’s future remains uncertain . The lanky winger released by Chelsea earlier this summer have attracted interest from several clubs but nobody is yet to give him a contract . In this situation , his mentor Harry Redknapp is looking forward to seal his signature in the coming days .

In other news , according to unconfirmed reports Roque Santa Cruz would be moving to Valencia on loan in an exchange deal with David Silva .
