Arsenal and Fulham are beating out each other in signing Raheem Sterling, a 15 year old striker currently plying his trade at Queens Park Rangers. Liverpool and Manchester United were also reportedly interested.

According to rumors, 20 year old American Freddie Adu is considering a loan move to Premier League team Hull City.

Liverpool youngster Adam Hammill is set to move to Barnsley FC. He was on loan to the same club last season, and was a fan favorite. The signing definitely benefits Hammill as well as the Barnsley.

Hamill has not played first team football while with Liverpool. A lot of Liverpool fans were complaining about the sale. The response would be the sale itself. He was sold, that means he was not good enough for Liverpool.

Sercan Yildirim just got himself into the limelight when Manchester United, Wigan Athletic, Man City and Liverpool were alerted of the 19 year old’s extra ordinary skills. Manchester United put up a bid of £3.5 Million.

The interest probably started when he scored 16 goals in 35 games in the 2008-2009 season. Currently, Yildirim plays for Bursaspor in Istanbul, Turkey.

Manchester United’s 17 year old superstar Federico Macheda is reportedly to sign a new contract with a salary of £20,000 a week.

Martin Hansen is a Danish goalkeeper playing for Liverpool FC. He signed for the Anfield club at 16 years old in 2006.

What were the Atletico Madrid executives thinking? Those men in ties just want to join in the inflated transfer market brought about by the sale of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Sergio Aguero is super talented alright, no doubt about it. But he has not won a La Liga or Champions League championship.

If Manchester United is going to bite the price tag, it would be a waste of money. United should haggle the price to about £30 million.

Steven Defour’s name was in the news lately when Everton bid for the Stand Liege star. But the bid was turned down. Standard wanted 15 million euros.

At 16 years old, Defour started playing for KV Mechelen, a lower division club in Belgium. He then moved to Genk at age 17. Then on 2006, he signed a five year contract with Standard Liege.

His play resembles that of Arsenal’s Jaime Fabregas, and was even called the “Belgian Fabregas” by the Belgian press.

He has a good eye in creating scoring chances for his team mates.

West Ham United’s Freddie Sears is on loan to Crystal Palace. The loan contract will last for a season.

He was the kid who just five minutes of play as a substitute scored and won the game against Blackburn Rovers.

Another unthinkable and ridiculous transfer rumor as reported by Skysports. Chelski keep your hands off Rafa’s Spanish boy El Niño.

Fernando Torres won’t swayed by your money, no matter how double his present salary of 100,000 pounds a week.

Jonjo Shelvey, a towering attacking midfielder is wanted by West Ham. He chose the Hammers over Spurs. Although this is still a speculation.

The still 17 years old Shelvey is currently employed by Charlton Athletic which he has contract that ends on 2011. He is a record holder as the youngest first team player in his current club, and also its younger ever goal scorer when he scored against Norwich City in an FA Cup game. He also represented England Under 16 and 17.
