Late M’Vila Move Ruled Out
As we enter the final stages of the
summer transfer window, Football Talk will be keeping you up-to-date
with all the latest transfer news. Today, Rennes claim Yann M’Vila won’t
be leaving this summer.
Rennes have confirmed that
Arsenal, Man City and Tottenham target Yann M’Vila won’t be making a
late switch to the Premier League, according to Sky Sports.
The powerful midfield enforcer has
attracted interest from clubs throughout Europe this summer after
declaring his intention to leave Ligue 1 this summer.
Arsenal were the early front-runners for his signature but were joined by rivals Tottenham as well as champions Manchester City.
However, the Gunners and City have
failed to follow up their initial interest and Rennes claim Tottenham
called off negotiations on Thursday evening.
The French outfit have now ruled out
M’Vila making a late move to the Premier League, with President Frederic
de Saint Sernin claiming only clubs in Russia or Ukraine have a chance
of signing the midfielder.
“He will not be in England,”“Tottenham passed on the player at 19:30 on Thursday.“He is 95 per cent likely to remain with Rennes, unless a Russian or Ukrainian club make an offer – sporting wise that would not be attractive but economically it would be very positive.”Sernin is quoted as saying by Sky Sports
M’Vila is understood to have already
turned down a move to Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg but the
French and Russian transfer windows don’t close until next week so there
is still time for a move away from France to happen.
