Clint
Dempsey to Aston Villa
A strange one, coming courtesy of Grant Wahl, who cites "informed
speculation" about Dempsey being offered to Aston Villa as part of a
deal for Christian Benteke. Nobody else is suggesting this, and Villa
are unlikely to pay Dempsey's wages, so it's hard to see a deal coming
off.
We're not sure what 'informed speculation' is, but we'll take a guess
(or an 'informed speculation') and say that it's probably a case of
"Spurs have a forward they don't need, Villa will need a forward if they
sell Benteke." It's a decent deal for Villa, but they're unlikely to
want to pay out those sort of wages, even if Dempsey may be willing to
take a slight cut if he wants to get games.
Odds: Difficult to see this one being on the table.

according to Turin based Tuttosport.
General
manager Giuseppe Marotta is adamant the club need to sell after signing
Fernando Llorente, Carlos Tevez and Angelo Ogbonna, with
Sunderland-bound Emanuele Giaccherini the first player to leave.
Strikers
Alessandro Matri and Fabio Quagliarella are also nearing the exit door,
but the Bianconeri are also thinking about signing a left-sided
full-back.
For the time being, Juventus officials are simultaneously working on
transfers of Aleksandar Kolarov and Camilo Zuniga, hoping to sign one of the two players.
And
while Napoli are not too keen on selling the Colombian full-back,
Manchester City are prepared to cash in on Kolarov, who in turn wants to
return to
Serie A.
With
that in mind, it is expected that the Serbian defender, who has been
playing second fiddle to Gael Clichy of late, will arrive in Turin in
time for the start of pre-season training.
