Asmir Begovic, the current second-choice shot-stopper, wants to leave the Premier League favourites in a bid for regular first-team football.


Crystal Palace agree £14m for Patrick van Aanholt

Crystal Palace have finalized a £14m fee with Sunderland for the transfer of full-back Patrick van Aanholt, if reports in Sky Sports are to be believed. The transfer will be completed subject to a medical, which the Dutch international is set to undergo in London. Van Aanholt had handed a transfer request to force his way out of The Stadium of Light.

Speaking in an interview with Sky Sports, Sunderland chief executive Martin Bain said: “If a player openly states he does not want to play for our club, then it is clear that we have a decision to make. In this instance and in regard to this particular player, we have done what we feel is right for Sunderland, which will always be our priority."


Anthony Martial’s future uncertain

According to Sky Sources, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is unhappy with the progress made by Anthony Martial at Old Trafford and his future at the club is a huge doubt. The Red Devils have plenty of options on the wings and Martial has struggled to be among the goals this season. However, the Frenchman is understood to be happy at the club and wants to stay and fight for his place.
