The forward did nothing to dispel these rumours in an interview this week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/juventus-striker-gonzalo-higuain-opens-12667086\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">telling ESPN<\/a>: \u201cI would love to play in the Premier League, it fascinates me\u201d. Juventus are unlikely to want to part with the Argentine and he would command a large fee, which may necessitate Morata\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n<h2>Tottenham Considering Bid for Grealish<\/h2>\n<p>Talented winger Jack Grealish is likely to be on the move this summer with Aston Villa in a financial crisis. One club who are reportedly interested is <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/tottenhamfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tottenham<\/a>. Villa are reportedly demanding \u00a340million for the 22-year-old, but with administration threatening the club they are in a difficult negotiating position. Grealish has also drawn interest from <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/leicester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leicester<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/manchesterunitedfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a>, but Tottenham appear poised to make the first move. Any move for Grealish would likely end Tottenham\u2019s interest in Wilfried Zaha.<\/p>\n<h2>Confusion Around Fekir Transfer<\/h2>\n<p>Several media sources had reported this morning that Nabil Fekir&#8217;s transfer to Liverpool was nearly complete, but Lyon have tweeted a statement claiming this to be &#8220;false&#8221;. Regardless of this, the move, estimated to be worth \u00a353million, is likely to still go ahead.<\/p>\n<h2>West Ham in Talks with Yaya Toure, Felipe Anderson and Swansea Pair<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/05\/22\/west-ham-united-confirm-manuel-pellegrini-as-new-manager\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manuel Pellegrini<\/a> is keen to reunite with Yaya Toure, who will be available on a free transfer this summer. However, the Ivorian only made 10 league appearances last season and there are question marks about his fitness.<\/p>\n<p>The Hammers are also exploring a deal for Lazio\u2019s Felipe Anderson. The winger provided seven assists in 21 league appearances this season and would cost in the region of \u00a333 million.
