KLOPP WANTS DERBY STARLET GORDON

- By SIMON JONES

LIVERPOOL are poised to sign Derby County’s exciting forward Kaide Gordon this week. The 16-year-old has already broken into Derby’s first team but has yet to sign a profession­al contract. Liverpool aim to wrap up a deal over the next few days as cash-strapped Derby look for £1million plus add-ons to £3m.

ARSENAL have agreed a £2.5m loan fee with Real Madrid for midfielder Martin Odegaard. The 22-year-old flew to London on Sunday ahead of his medical today. Odegaard arrives as MESUT OZIL thanked Arsenal after being confirmed as a Fenerbahce player. Ozil said: ‘It is important to look for the positives in life and not negatives, which is why I try to live life with no regrets and holding no grudges.’ He will be joined by QPR’s Bright OsayiSamue­l after Fenerbahce agreed a £750,000 fee to sign the winger.

MANCHESTER UNITED’S Jesse Lingard is wanted by West Ham as he considers his future. Lingard was left out of United’s squad against Liverpool and trained with other fringe players at Carrington. Newcastle and West Brom are also chasing a loan deal for the 28-year-old.

NEWCASTLE are hoping to beat West Brom to the signing of Leicester City’s Hamza Choudhury on loan.

WEST BROM will welcome Nigeria captain Ahmed Musa on Wednesday for medical tests ahead of signing a short-term contract. The former Leicester forward, 28, is a free agent.

LEICESTER CITY winger Demarai Gray is discussing a move to Crystal Palace. The 24-year-old, out of contract in the summer, has been talking to Bayer Leverkusen. Palace are looking to offload players including Christian Benteke and Michy Batshuayi, with the latter on loan from Chelsea.

ASTON VILLA will complete the £15.5m transfer of Marseille midfielder Morgan Sanson, 26, this week.

FULHAM midfielder Stefan Johansen is joining QPR.
