Mason to Hull, van Persie to West Ham

Transfer Headlines

Tottenham Hotspur - The Sun want to suggest that 25-year-old (26 next June) midfielder Ryan Mason is a £10-million target for Hull City, I be surprised if they wanted to spend that much on him, but they do like their Spurs players up there. They are constantly sniffing about our fringe players in the hope of picking up a bargain. They tend to look for the home-grown players as well and Mason helps Spurs fill that quota, which would make him a premium price.

West Ham United - Having failed with all their unrealistic attempts with strikers West Ham have now looked toward a player who could possibly be interested, Robin van Persie. Players go to Turkey for one reason, money, the tax situation is advantageous. It isn't one of the major five leagues but a second tier league and van Persie went there to join Fenerbahce.

The Dutch international has a contract there until 2018 and has scored 16 goals in 31 Super Liga games. His age, he'll be 33 at the beginning of August, would make him a cheap purchase and he is a proven goalscorer in the Premier League.
