Fulham and West Ham said to be eyeing teenage striker

By

Fulham and West Ham are monitoring Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Senegal striker Moussa Konate, according to the Daily Mirror.

The Hammers will apparently have ‘spies’ watching Konate, 19, in action against Great Britain in the Olympics, while Fulham are said to have been tracking him.

The Mirror also suggest Edinson Cavani’s wife being mugged could help persuade the Napoli striker to move to Chelsea.

It is claimed she has joined him in England – where he is based with the Uruguay squad for the Olympics – after being robbed of a £14,500 watch in Naples. The couple reportedly had their home burgled recently.

The player’s agent Claudio ­Anellucci is quoted as saying: “She has left Naples to join Cavani. It is difficult to get used to the idea that these sort of things can happen to you.

“It is true that incidents of this type can happen to anybody, but the truth is they happen too often.”

Meanwhile, Chelsea are believed to be planning to table an improved bid for Wigan’s Victor Moses but are still not meeting the £10m asking price.

The Daily Telegraph suggest Chelsea are prepared to raise their bid of £6m, while the Daily Mail say the club will offer £6.5m for him.

The Sun claim Chelsea and both Manchester clubs have been told they will need to pay Benfica £31m if they are to land midfielder Alex Witsel.
