The Irish striker has also attracted interest from Aston Villa, Everton and Fulham.

But Wolves’ chief executive Jez Moxey said: “What we want to do is to continue to improve the squad and improve the team.

Chelsea to sign Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero for £40m - report

Chelsea are set to sign striker Sergio Aguero from Atletico Madrid for £40 million, according to ESPN Soccernet.

The Blues have been linked with the Argentina international on numerous occasions, with a rumoured move back in January reportedly falling through due to the high asking price demanded by Atletico Madrid.

The Spanish club seemingly wanted £50 million although could be tempted if Chelsea put a £40m offer on the table, given the club's financial difficulties.

The latest report claims, however, that the deal has already been agreed between the two sides and will apparently be made official at the end of the domestic football season in Europe.

Aguero, who lined up in the Europa League against Liverpool on Thursday but refused to be drawn on questions about his future, has recently gone on record to praise some of the Blues' stars such as Frank Lampard and described the club as one of Europe's most feared sides.

Arsenal plan to table new deal to Clichy

Arsenal Football Club are set to offer Gael Clichy a new contract.

The French fullback may only be 24-years-old, but he is the Gunners longest serving current player, having made his debut back in the 2003-2004 campaign.

Some would say Clichy hasn’t been at his best this term, and reports in Spain claim Barcelona and Real Madrid are willing to offer him a change of scenery next season.

However, Goal.com claim Arsene Wenger still has full confidence in the former Cannes youngster, and is prepared to offer him a new deal to remain at the Emirates Stadium.

Barcelona targets Robin Van Persie

LONDON- Speculations have surface that Barcelona has turned their attention towards signing Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie. The rumors are that Dutch international striker is high on the Blaugrana’s list of priorities for the summer.

A number of players have been mentioned as target for Barcelona during this off season, with the gunners duo of Cesc Fabregas and now Robin Van Persie heading the list of hopeful. There are also rumors suggesting that Valencia’s creative mid fielders/strikers David Villa and David Silva are needed at the Camp Nou.

Allardyce: I'll stop Arsenal using Mourinho's method

Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce aims to adopt a Jose Mourinho-style strategy to heap more misery on Arsene Wenger tomorrow.

Wenger has vented his fury over Allardyce’s *uncompromising tactics down the years and Arsenal’s sophisticated methods will encounter more of the same at Ewood Park.

Allardyce admits he *revels in Wenger’s *squirming discomfort and feels his policy could have no more credible *endorsement than the Champions League *triumph of Mourinho’s Inter Milan against *Barcelona.

Arsenal are widely *acclaimed as the best *footballing team in the Premier League yet, like Barcelona, have come up short in the crucial *confrontations.

Arsene Wenger will break with convictions to raid Premier League for stars - report

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is better known for nuturing through youngsters than going on a spending spree, but now he's reportedly set to spend his transfer war-chest on proven Premier League stars.

According to the Sunday Mirror, Wenger has drawn up a provisional shortlist of potential summer targets.

West Ham United midfielder Scott Parker in apparently the latest name to be added to the wish-list, which already contains the likes of Manchester City’s goalkeeper Joe Hart, defensive pairing Brede Hangeland and Gary Cahill and Aston Villa midfielder James Milner.

Wenger looks set to add some much needed experience to his side and sees Parker as the perfect role-model for his young midfield charges.

“We have plenty of young players,” said Wenger. “Now we need ready-made players.”

Arsenal will look to confirm their first new signing of the summer, when Marouane Chamakh arrives from Bordeaux on a free transfer.

The Morocco international has reportedly already agreed to join the north London outfit, after the Gunners failed to land him during the January transfer window.

Wenger’s new policy is also said to see both Sol Campbell and William Gallas offered new deals at the club.

Valencia and Barcelona agree on transfer of Liverpool & Chelsea target David Villa - report

An exclusive report released by Spanish sports daily Marca claims that Valencia and Barcelona have agreed to the transfer of David Villa, Valencia's superstar striker and candidate to become the Spanish national team's all-time top scorer.

Chelsea and Liverpool had been keeping tabs on the Spanish super star but it now looks like he will remain in Spain.

According to Marca's report, the striker joins Barca at the behest of Cule coach Pep Guardiola. Barcelona were close to signing the Valencia striker last season, but the deal fell flat. Now it appears that the two sides have reached an agreement that will be made official at the end of the Liga season.

Barca president Joan Laporta wanted to close the deal before the end of his term as president and the upcoming elections, to be held on June 13. Further, the club supremo wanted to sign Villa before the World Cup, as the player's value will likely skyrocket after South Africa 2010.

Marca reports that the deal will be in the €40 million range and that two Barca players could also be included, namely Aliaksandr Hleb (currently on loan at Stuttgart) and youngster Bojan Krkic.

Villa is currently third in the Liga's Pichichi top scorer race, having netted 21 goals, six less than Barca's Lionel Messi.
