Hello again everyone and welcome to my latest blog post, where I have the latest paper talk, football news updates and transfer rumours. 

With just over a week to go until the start of the World Cup, many of the international teams have already confirmed their 23-men squads, and the club teams especially in the EPL are eager to do most of their transfer business quickly before a desired players' market value increases as a result of their performance in Brazil.

This means that transfer rumours are hectic and constant, especially from the bigger clubs who are all eager to improve their squads ahead of the start of the new season in August. This makes for both an intriguing and exciting period of football; with the biggest international tournament taking place and the transfer deals of the summer transfer market being finalised.

Villa was seen having his medical on Saturday afternoon in Manchester, and said this in a message to fans published on the Atletico website:

"It is an irresistible project for me and my family, it is very, very good. It is about football and I have to accept it, I will be a fan of Atletico all my life for what they have given me this year."

Cardiff City defender Steven Caulker is reportedly thinking about making a shock return back to White Hart Lane, after leaving Spurs last summer after a lack of first-team football.

Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas is reportedly set to leave Barcelona this summer, with a move back to the Premier League as his preffered option.

The Spanish club are willing to sell the creative midfielder, as he does not figure in their plans for next season - and Fabregas has a £30million pound release clause written into his contract.
