⚽ Chiesa Commits to Liverpool, Vardy's Free Transfer Battle & Palace Eye New Sporting Director
Download MP3Hello and welcome back to the Transfer News Podcast, I'm Archer, and we've got some absolutely crackling stories to get through today. From Chiesa's change of heart at Liverpool to Palace's potential new sporting director, there's plenty to sink our teeth into, so let's dive straight in. Federico Chiesa wants to stay at Liverpool despite having considered an exit earlier in the summer, according to Sky Sports. The Italian winger has clearly been impressed by what he's seen under Arne Slot and it looks like he's ready to fight for his place at Anfield. This is exactly the kind of attitude you want to see from a player who initially seemed unsettled. Celtic and Napoli are reportedly battling to sign free agent Jamie Vardy, with the veteran striker available on a free transfer. At thirty-seven years old, Vardy still has that pace and finishing ability that could make him a shrewd pickup for either club looking for experience up front. Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has stated that the club need to sign more quality up front as they push for Premier League promotion. With the Championship being as competitive as ever, Farke clearly knows they need more firepower to get over the line this time around. Speaking of Leeds, new signing Lukas Nmecha gave them a dream return to Premier League action with the winning goal against Everton. The striker, who is twenty-five years old, couldn't have asked for a better start to life at Elland Road under David Moyes's Everton side. Sky Sports has reported that Manchester City are taking inspiration from Liverpool's recent approach, though the details remain somewhat vague. It's always interesting when the two Manchester and Merseyside giants start looking at each other's methods given their recent rivalry. Brentford's Yoane Wissa is reportedly angry that his move to Newcastle United has not materialised yet, according to Sky Sports. The forward clearly had his heart set on a move to Saint James' Park to work under Eddie Howe, but these things can drag on in the transfer market. Finally, Crystal Palace are close to appointing former Wolves chief Matt Hobbs as their new sporting director. Oliver Glasner's side have been looking to strengthen their recruitment structure, and Hobbs certainly has the experience from his time in the Black Country.
