West Ham make enquiry to sign former PSG playmaker
A West Ham forward has been linked with a move away after a failed summer switch, whilst Graham Potter is weighing up a move for a Man United striker as the Hammers hope to put the 24/25 season firmly behind them.
Although there's certainly been a sea change in attitude in the Irons squad since Potter took over, results have still been a little hit and miss.
Currently, the East Londoners find themselves in 15th position in the Premier League table, with survival the only realistic option for them after a poor start to the campaign under Julen Lopetegui.
Starting to make plans for the 25/26 season would appear to make sense, and to that end, TBR Football are reporting that West Ham are one of the clubs interested in bringing former PSG playmaker, Marco Verratti, back to European football.
Verratti, 32, is currently plying his trade in the Qatar Stars League with Al Arabi.
After 15 games of their league season, Al Arabi are third from bottom on just 16 points, some 19 behind leaders, Al-Duhail.
A move back to Europe would therefore surely appeal, but the question mark for the Hammers, and other reported interested parties, Bournemouth and Fulham, is whether they want to commit to a player that's the wrong side of 30, despite his brilliant career.
The one plus point to any deal is that Verratti's contract is up this June so he would arrive as a free transfer (transfermarkt) and make sense financially.

Crystal Palace beat Liverpool with the same team that won the FA Cup. What if it evolved?
Oliver Glasner continues to take Crystal Palace to new heights. An FA Cup win in May has been followed by lifting the Community Shield in August. This was the perfect start to their season. Their preparations have not been perfect but they are in a stronger position than this time last year. Their key players in demand this summer — Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta — remain at the club and no first-team players have been sold, although chairman Steve Parish says that Palace may still be forced to cash in on England international Guehi. Advertisement Glasner pointed out in his pre-match press conference that last summer, he lost 40 per cent of his squad only for new signings to come on transfer deadline day, whereas this summer, his group have almost stayed together in their entirety. That pleased him, although the arrival of only two new signings was a source of frustration. He was supported in a decision to take pre-season in Austria rather than a more commercially lucrative tour, and he spoke of how effective that trip was in their build-up to the new campaign. That familiarity between his team, so crucial to how he wants them to play, was apparent at Wembley. In a sense, it was revenge for being denied victory by Liverpool on the final day of the season at Anfield, where they drew 1-1. That day, Glasner was critical of his side but they were much better at Wembley, with their success mostly largely coming through Ismaila Sarr's moments of individual brilliance and those link-ups between players who have developed strong relationships with each other over the past year. Daniel Munoz was frequently in space down the right to play in dangerous crosses to the middle. Tyrick Mitchell was guilty of wasting one good chance which stemmed from it, Will Hughes another, while others failed to gamble. But he also linked well with Sarr ,whose Palace career continues to thrive after a gradual start. Sarr's awareness to draw a foul from Virgil van Dijk for the first equaliser and speed to recover a heavy touch to score Palace's second leveller was surely at least in part due to his confidence and feeling settled with his team-mates. Palace's entire attacking unit thrived in creating opportunities but were let down only by their final decisions or execution. They have achieved unprecedented success against the odds. Their worst start to a Premier League season last time out gave way to a 12th-placed finish and that FA Cup victory. Glasner's ambition has yet to be matched when it comes to transfers. He decried a 'passive' transfer window so far in his pre-match press conference. There is an obvious disparity between his squad and Liverpool's, where two new signings, Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong, whose initial combined transfer fees totalled almost £100million, scored their goals. Advertisement Palace fielded the same starting XI which won the FA Cup, having signed just two squad players in left wing-back Borna Sosa from Ajax for £2million and goalkeeper Walter Benitez on a free after his PSV Eindhoven contract expired. Chairman Parish is eager to support his manager's ambition but is practising caution with the club's finances. 'People trade players,' he told reporters after the game. 'If you just don't care about tomorrow, you put it all off. We're a fantastic team. If we had four more players, I don't know what we could achieve but it's not as simple as that. We have a lot of outgoings this year because we're paying a lot of transfer fees for players we already have. We'll do whatever we can. 'As far as people being here or not being here, if it's the right decision for the club and for them — nobody can make anyone go — then there will be some changes, but we have to make smart ones.' Just as it did in the few days after the FA Cup victory, a decision made by UEFA looms over them as on Monday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport is due to rule on their appeal against demotion to the Conference League. It will not sully a hard-fought victory which provides plenty of encouragement for the season if key players are not sold and remain fit, but the mood may nevertheless flip from exuberance to dismay if the decision is not favourable. A European campaign will be positive for the club but the squad still lacks depth. Daichi Kamada will miss the next two games after sustaining an injury in the first half on Sunday, while Guehi was forced off with cramp. Had those been more serious problems then Palace's squad, already struggling for numbers, would look alarmingly thin, particularly if they end up in the Conference League and enjoy a run deep into the competition. Advertisement Palace have an ambitious manager who has transformed the club. Now they are reaping the rewards. But if they are to keep him beyond the end of the season when his contract expires, they will need to adequately support him, rather than giving him a handicap. That is their best route to success. Difficult decisions are required but that comes with the territory, while Parish seems prepared to make them if necessary. Regardless, they go into the new campaign with a sense of hope and belief that they can improve on last season, having beaten the Premier League champions. There can be no doubt that, despite the caveats, they are better placed to do so this time around, even if that is still a low bar to clear. They cannot afford, however, for victory at Wembley to prove to be a false dawn. Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms Play today's puzzle

Arsenal: Mikel Arteta provides Leandro Trossard injury update ahead of Manchester United trip
Mikel Arteta is confident Arsenal forward Leandro Trossard will be fit for the start of the new Premier League season next week. Trossard was absent from the matchday squad on Saturday afternoon as the Gunners beat Athletic Club 3-0 in a friendly to claim the Emirates Cup. The Belgian international was one of three doubts ahead of the game, but both Kai Havertz and Riccardo Calafiori were passed fit - the former scoring the third goal and the latter playing the opening 45 minutes. This means Trossard still has not played since injuring his groin in a pre-season defeat to north London rivals Tottenham last month. Arteta, however, is confident the 30-year-old will be fit for Arsenal's opening Premier League game against Manchester United at Old Trafford. When asked if Trossard was okay, Arteta said: 'I think he is going to be in a few days. 'He had a little niggle in the groin - but he should be fine.' Trossard featured in every single Premier League fixture for Arsenal last season, scoring eight goals and weighing in with the same number assists. Though, he faces a race against the clock to be named in the squad that travels to the 'Theatre of Dreams' and therefore be in with a chance of persevering his run of consecutive Premier League appearances.

Three things we learned from Arsenal win over Athletic Club as new midfield shines and valuable weapon emerges
Arsenal finished their pre-season in emphatic fashion by beating Athletic Club. Viktor Gyokeres and Bukayo Saka struck in the first half, with substitute Kai Havertz adding a third late on. The Gunners were rarely troubled defensively and kept a clean sheet in what was an impressive performance. Arsenal kick off their Premier League campaign against Manchester United at Old Trafford next week and will now head there in a confident mood. And, here, Standard Sport takes a look at three talking points from Arsenal's final pre-season game… New midfield shines Until this game, Mikel Arteta had elected not to start Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard and Martin Zubimendi together in midfield during pre-season. In the end, it turned out to be worth the wait as the trio excelled during this victory over Athletic Club. Zubimendi was the star performer, creating Arsenal's opening goal with a brilliant cross that Gyokeres headed home. It capped off an excellent display from Zubimendi, who barely put a foot wrong all game as he ran the show. The Spaniard dovetailed nicely with Rice and there was a new shape to Arsenal's midfield compared to last season. Rice played as an advanced No8 last year, but he was much deeper against Athletic and sometimes even behind Zubimendi. The fluidity suited both players, with Rice thriving by being able to find Saka early from deep with long passes. Zubimendi, in turn, was able to shine in tight spaces on the edge of Athletic's box by pushing forward. Gyokeres gets off the mark After finding the net, Gyokeres merely raised his hand to the Arsenal fans before his team-mates mobbed him. The Swede then began walking back to his own half, before Rice stopped him and forced the striker to go back to the fans. Gyokeres turned and did his signature celebration, much to the delight of the 60,000 supporters - who had been waiting all afternoon for that moment. They will hope to see it plenty of times this season - and this was an encouraging display from Gyokeres. The 27-year-old took his goal really well, hammering home a header after Zubimendi's cross picked him out. Gyokeres could have had a second after the break, but Athletic goalkeeper Unai Simon tipped his diving header onto the post. When he came off with 20 minutes to go, Gyokeres did so to a standing ovation and the Swede will hope he has done enough to start at Old Trafford next week. Calafiori catches the eye Riccardo Calafiori only played 45 minutes of this victory - but it was a timely reminder of what he can offer. The Italian caused countless problems by overlapping Gabriel Martinelli, galloping forward like a wild horses. Calafiori played a different role to that of Myles Lewis-Skelly. He did not tuck into midfield, but instead operated as a conventional left-back. It gave Arsenal more width and a different point of attack, which could prove useful in the coming season. The Gunners have struggled to break down teams playing in a low block and, even from left-back, Calafiori could help change that. His natural width from left-back stretched the game against Athletic and, in doing so, gave Saka more space on the other flank. Lewis-Skelly will most likely start the season as Arsenal's left-back, but Calafiori has underlined how he can be a valuable weapon.
