The Scoop

Everton have agreed to a £11.25M move with Middlesbrough for Yakubu.

Sevilla are set to keep Daniel Alves again this season. I mean, who can blame him? They are a decent side and Seville is a lovely place to live. It's a no brainer. But watch, just as I write this Manchester United will come in with a whopping bid for him. Time will tell.

In the meantime, Sevilla gaffer, Juande Ramos, was offered a 'dizzying' offer from Tottenham Hotspur, after their atrocious start to the season...they did beat Derby though. They also have to play Manchester United this weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly going to bid for Juan Roman Riquelme. I'm not too sure he's built for the Premiership though. Fantastic player, just not for the English game.

Sven is going to up the offer for Australian/Palermo midfielder Mark Bresciano this week.
