Dhanda set for tug of war

WEST BROM want to sign Turkey international Okay Yokuslu. Sam Allardyce is seeking extra protection for his defence and Albion have opened discussions over a possible loan for the Celta Vigo midfielder, who can also play at centre-back. West Brom are hoping to bring in at least three new players this month. They are looking at Real Betis’ William Carvalho and are in talks with Galatasaray over a loan for striker Mbaye Diagne.

ASTON VILLA have opened talks with Marseille over a deal for midfielder Morgan Sanson. The former French Under 21 international has 18 months left on his contract and Andre Villas-Boas’s side are open to selling the 26-year-old in order to raise funds. Villa asked about Sanson last year and could strike a deal in the region of £20million.

SWANSEA CITY midfielder Yan Dhanda is attracting interest from Bournemouth and Leeds.

The former Liverpool man has recently been influential in Steve Cooper’s side’s promotion push.

Bournemouth could turn to Dhanda, 22, if they sell Aston Villa target David Brooks.

One of only 10 British- Asian professional footballers in the UK, Dhanda opens the door to a broader commercial market as a role model for young players in the Asian community.

Swansea are in talks to sign Seattle Sounders winger Jordan Morris and want another forward as Cooper l ooks to i ncrease competition for places.

AC MILAN hope to seal a loan for Chelsea’s Fikayo Tomori tomorrow, while Danny Drinkwater is close to finalising his loan to Kasimpasa. Juventus want Olivier Giroud but he is part of Frank Lampard’s plans.
