Big Sam's time has arrived

with the post.

Real Madrid told to pay £100m for Payet

West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan has valued midfielder Dimitri Payet at an astonishing £100m - reports The Express. The Hammers' star midfielder enjoyed a stellar Euro 2016 as France reached the final of their own tournament before a heart-breaking extra-time defeat to Portugal on Sunday. But France's loss hasn't put Real Madrid off Payet, with the Spanish club still keen on bringing the playmaker to the Bernabeu for the new season. 

United and Real in record transfer tussle

Manchester United are hopeful of beating Real Madrid to the signing of Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba - reports The Sun. The Old Trafford club have trumped Real with a world-record £100m bid for the France international, but Pogba reportedly prefers the prospect of playing under Les Bleus legend Zinedine Zidane in Madrid. Both clubs are still in the race to sign the talented midfielder, with an eye-watering transfer fee almost inevitable... although United hope that their relationship with Pogba's agent will prove the difference.
