It has been rumoured that Fulham striker Moussa Dembele has been tipped to a move to Champion's League Winners Chelsea.

The Belgian midfielder-turned-striker only has one year remaining on his contract, and with news that Manchester United could potentially make a bid for his services, he has stated he is not ready to talk about a contract renewal.

When the Philadelphia Union hosted FC Schalke 04 in an international friendly on Wednesday night, the talk was centered around a player, but it wasn't the one who had scored 48 goals in 49 games in 2011-2012.

Instead the hype surrounded Raul, who was supposed to be playing in his last game for Schalke.

The Manchester derby on Monday was widely dubbed the biggest game of the season but this clash now carries a similar level of importance. Not only is it vital for City to cement their recently gained advantage by claiming three points from the toughest of their two remaining fixtures, the game is huge for the Magpies too.

You may have pulled a Neviller, face (see below) or noise (see this), if you were watching live and witnessed that second Papiss Cisse goal. Fucking hell was that something else. Goal of the season, sure, but I reckon it's one of the best I've ever seen.

Needless to say, the January transfer window's greatest-ever signing (is this even up for debate?

It's reached the boiling point. If Albert Pujols doesn't hit any better and for power by the end of this week, he is officially in a psychological wreck.
How can any man feel good about stealing money in front of everybody? This power outage has gotten absurd. He's in a funk, but this funk is not any old funk, it's way more serious than that for Los Angeles-Anaheim Angels fans because Pujols was being counted to make a major impact in his first season in Southern California.

As rumoured a little while back, it has now been revealed that Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign German striker Lukas Podolski.

Podolski, of Cologne, was to become a free-agent at the end of the season so his club have decided to cash in on the player now instead of risking losing him for nothing in a few weeks time.

There isn't going to be a bigger story involving an American soccer player this summer than the one surrounding Clint Dempsey and his club future.

After tallying his 22nd goal in all competitions to rescue yet another point for Fulham against Chelsea on Monday, Dempsey's stock continues to grow in value as he heads toward the final year of his Fulham contract.

In which 20-year old, Bayern Munich-bound Swiss tyro Xherdan Shaqiri opens the scoring for FC Basel in the fourth minute against Luzern in the Swiss Super League with an absolute stonker of a scissor kick.

This is what €10 million gets you in Switzerland these days.

We all know that our domestic players are drastically overpriced. Andy Carroll £35million, Stewart Downing £20million, Jordan Henderson £16million, Wayne Bridge £90,000 per week. And this reinforced when you consider that Bayern Munich's new signing Xherdan Shaqiri cost just 10 million Euros. He is 20, he is a fantastically talented Swiss winger, and he scores [.

Just 20 years old, Basel's Xherdan Shaqiri has already been one of the Swiss Super League's most talked about talents for some time now. During Basel's impressive Champions League campaign this season, he attracted more international attention and ended up signing a €10-million deal with Bayern Munich that will be finalized this summer.

Sometimes, the Kansas City Royals actually spend money. They did so on Friday when they gave Alex Gordon a $37.5 million contract over the next four seasons. Gordan is one of the best players on the Royals and was one of the best hitters in the American League last season.

The contract calls for Gordan to make $6 million this year and then $9 million next year.

The signing of the season: Mikel Arteta by KJ This summer Arsenal lost three key players from the midfield. We lost Fabregas due to ambition; we lost Nasri to money and lost Wilshere to injury. Wenger on the last minute of the transfer deadline decided to dabble in the market and spent £10 million to [.

A man who never managed to get beyond the Portuguese third division during his semi-professional playing career is suing the Baptist church for £10 million, claiming that becoming a 'fervent evangelist' at the age of 25 stymied his chances of playing for Manchester United.

Three months and £10 million in fines after refusing Roberto Mancini's request that he warm up a second time during a Champions League match and then fleeing back to Argentina without permission, Carlos Tevez has apologized to the club that could not sell him. The following is a transcript of Tevez's apology, with the help of his adviser Kia Joorabchian, to the man who vowed that Carlos would never play for City again.

On Thursday, I remarked to several friends that I thought Reading FC's position of seventh in the Championship was a flattering one. Now, after a 1-0 win over Burnley, the club has ascended to third and, having kept a fourth consecutive clean sheet and seen new acquisition Jason Roberts maintain a hundred per cent record of scoring in home games, the Royals are insisting they be taken seriously.

Dutch Coach Guus Hiddink has signed an 18 month contract with cash strapped Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala. Makhachkala are expected to make the official announcement within the next 24 hours however, sources close to the club have revealed that the contract as very 'lucrative'.

Reports in his native Holland suggest that Hiddink is expected to earn €10 million-a-year (£8.

I should have gone to Bolton. ... Wenger really needs to teach these kids how to use their hands. ... I wonder if they've come up with any good puns based on the surnames of Asian basketball players back in New York over the last two months. ... Andrei Arshavin: What's the deal with that guy?

Juventus will be facing Milan tomorrow in the Coppa Italia and unfortunately for both teams, they will not be getting a taste of the Ibrahimedic. He slapped (or rather 'nudged') Napoli's Salvatore Aronica in the face on Sunday something you shouldn't be surprised about, given Ibra's track record and is expected to serve a three-match ban.

Of all the defensive targets (allegedly) pursued by Newcastle United, Ajax's 24 year old Belgian defender and captain, Jan Vertonghen, is by far the most interesting proposition. At a potential cost that will almost certainly be over £10 million along with the abilty to command a Coloccini sized salary package he shpuld be really However [.

Fed up Juventus fan's put their ineffective striker Amauri up for sale on Ebay recently and were pleasantly surprised when the bidding hit £10 million before Ebay came to their senses and pulled down their listing.

Amauri signed from Palermo in 2008 for £19m before falling so out of favour at the club, he was told he was free from any obligation to the club as of January 2012.

By Chris Wright

Since signing from Palermo for a shade under £19 million back in 2008, it's fair to say that Amauri has contributed the square root of f**k all to the Juventus cause. Barring a fairly decent goal-to-game ratio in debut season, he's been in Layman's Terms dire and, as such, has been informed by Juve that he is 'free from any obligation vis-a-vis the club commencing from January 2012′ and 'no longer included in the new technical programme'.

Just several weeks into the summer transfer window Juventus sealed the deal for Swiss defender Stephan Lichtsteiner from Lazio for a fee of 10 million euros. Although the other summer signing, Andrea Pirlo, has received most the praise so far this season, Lichtsteiner has arguably been the more consistent of the two.

Quite a transfer coup for Newcastle with the signing of £10 million pound number 9 Papiss Demba Cisse from German side Freiburg. The Senegalese striker will wear the famous shirt, as worn by previous Newcastle legends Alan Shearer, Jackie Milburn and Malcolm Macdonald. He will make up half of a potentially lethal strikeforce alongside Newcastle's other top striker, also from Senegal, Demba Ba.

Good signing from Newcastle today, who completed the signing of Freiburg striker Papiss Demba Cisse for around £10 million. Cisse has signed at five-and-a-half-year deal with Newcastle.

Newcastle will partner Cisse up-front with his international team-mate Demba Ba, whichh should end rumors that Demba Ba is leaving Newcastle anytime soon.

Reports doing the rounds suggest that Liverpool are in the market looking to buy a striker to bloster their attack. The Reds have been linked with Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe who Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is willing to offer £10 million to acquire.

However a tug of war is emerging between Tottenham and Defoe with Redknapp set on keeping him at White Hart Lane while Defoe is bent on leaving after already telling his agent that he wants to move in this transfer window.

Liverpool is on the verge of signing a new striker, according to legendary goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar.
Liverpool struggled to hit the net again this weekend with a 0-0 draw at home to Stoke and have scored just eight goals in their last nine Premier League games. With Luis Suarez suspended for eight games, strikers Dirk Kuyt and Andy Carroll have come under pressure to perform but Carroll has only scored twice this season, while Kuyt has yet to break his drought.

Here we are in the January transfer window, and we are all excited over the new stars that will be coming to the Emirates.

There is talk of this one, and talk of that one. Yet behind all the hype in the press you have Wenger telling us what I am afraid is going to be a very big disappointment for us all, and that is they do not want to spend any money with this financial crisis going to only get worse.

As per usual the standard crazy transfer talk is in full swing in line with the opening of the January transfer window.

Demba Ba has been linked with Man United, with his agent claiming that this is complete rubbish. Interestingly, there is a release fee in his contract and so if a club bids this amount then Ba is allowed to begin talks regarding a move.

Reports from the Daily Mail are out that Demba Ba could have a £10 million release clause in his current Newcastle contract.

This isn't really all that surprising if it is true as surely Newcastle never expected him to be one of the standout players of the season when he was signed.

Liverpool is making progress on establishing grounds to negotiate a deal for Birmingham City winger Nathan Redmond, who is being valued at £10 million by the midlands club.
Redmond has 2 years remaining on his current deal at St. Andrew's, but has recently attracted interest from Manchester City and other Premier League clubs.

So after weeks of uncertainty over Marco Reus's future, Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund were finally able to land the services of the highly rated attacking midfielder.

Dortmund beat out the likes of Arsenal and Bayern Munich who were the two clubs closely associated with the 22 year old.

Part 3 of the review, coming right at you.

Aaron Ramsey
Stats: 22 appearances (3 sub appearances), 6.71 average rating, 2 goals, 6 assists, 2 yellow cards.

On his first full season since coming back from the Shawcross Special, Ramsey found himself as our main playmaker with Wilshere's injury and Cesc's and Nasri's exits.

FC Twente frontman Luuk de Jong has reiterated his desire to play in the Premiership, alerting a host of clubs, including both Liverpool and Tottenham, who are reportedly interested in him.
21 year-old de Jong's contract with his current employers runs out in June of 2014, meaning that any prospective suitors would have to stump up a sum of around €10 million in order to prise him away from Enschede.

Liverpool are reportedly preparing to make a £10 million bid for FC Twente's Luuk De Long.
The Dutch International has scored 10 goals in 12 matches for Twente already this Season.
It is believed that Damien Commoli has watched him, Kenny Dalglish and Fenway Sports are willing to pay up for the prolific Dutch forward as Andy Carroll continues to struggle for goals, the more quality forwards we have at Liverpool the better.

Santos are expecting a tough battle for their teen sensation Neymar when he prepare to leaves the club in 2014. The Campeonato Paulista player of the year 2011 has consistently been linked with a move to Spain with Barcelona now emerging as his most probable destination.

In fact, reports doing the rounds suggest that the Catalan giants had already struck a preliminary agreement worth 10 million Euros to sign the star earlier than 2014.
