Blackburn Rovers have brought in former Reading midfielder Danny Guthrie

Shaqiri, 23, is available for transfer just six months after leaving Bayern Munich for Inter, and he has said he is eager to return to the Bundesliga.

Schalke had earlier confirmed their interest, and Swiss newspaper Blick has reported that personal terms were agreed, but the club have not made an official bid and Breitenreiter told Sport Bild: "Shaqiri is currently not an issue for me. That's why I have also not met him personally."

Adnan Januzaj and now... Yann M'Vila? Sky Sports reports that the Rubin Kazan midfielder is holding talks over a potential season-long loan move to Sunderland. Interesting times in the north-east.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has said he could bring in another striker before the start of the Premier League season at the weekend.

Spurs, who face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday, are poised to lose Emmanuel Adebayor and Roberto Soldado to Aston Villa and Villarreal.

That would mean Harry Kane, last season's top scorer, would be the only senior striker available to Pochettino.

Former Southampton man Dani Osvaldo has joined Porto on a free transfer -- and he's received multiple welcomes

Marseille, Monaco and Nantes are among a host of clubs tracking Ghana international Daniel Amartey, reports in France say. The FC Copenhagen midfielder, 20, has been described as "the new Essien."

French newspaper L'Equipe reports that Alexanre Lacazette has been told he can leave Lyon -- and that could be the cue for Arsenal and Liverpool to step up their reported interest in the France international.

Alan Pardew has said Crystal Palace might well be making another signing today -- but he won't say who it is.

Barcelona have made no secret of their desire for Pedro to stay at the Camp Nou this summer, but it seems that the Treble winners will reluctantly sanction his transfer to Manchester United.

The Sun reports that the 28-year-old is on the verge of sealing a £20 million move to Old Trafford following talks on Monday, while the Daily Telegraph says that the Spain international has been offered a "starring role" in Louis van Gaal's three-man attack alongside Wayne Rooney and Memphis Depay.

United could ease competition for places up front by allowing Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez to permanently depart this summer, with the Daily Express reporting that West Ham have made an improved bid of £11.9 million for the Mexico international.

However, the Daily Star reports that Chicharito and his agents are "bemused" by United's £12 million asking price, and will ask the club to half that figure to ensure a swift exit.

Poor old Rafa Benitez is getting a bit tired of asking whether Gareth Bale is going somewhere (Manchester United), or whether Karim Benzema is (Arsenal).

Here's what he had to say: "I speak about football, not about anything else. As I already said in Karim's case, these [rumours] are all speculation. The two [Benzema and Bale] are going to stay here."

AC Milan are in "pole position" to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic if he decides to leave Paris Saint-Germain but a deal remains unlikely, according to the Rossoneri's general manager Adriano Galliani.

Hamburg attacker Artjoms Rudnevs is set to undergo a medical at PAOK. The Latvian has long become surplus to requirements at HSV, but kicker adds that a deal has not yet been struck despite the impending medical.

L'Equipe reports that Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris is keen to join Manchester United if and when David De Gea seals his move to Real Madrid.

The French newspaper points out that Real still have to agree a fee with United, and then United have to agree a deal with Spurs. And negotiating a deal with Spurs is not the easiest task in the world.

An update of sorts on Kevin De Bruyne: Sport Bild says Wolfsburg will only sell him if he asks for a transfer before Aug. 31. That doesn't really contradict the Mirror's report, and might give Manchester City a bit of encouragement that a deal can be done.

Angel Di Maria's Manchester United exit could be just hours away.
