Southampton have taken a lot of shots this season THE Premier League table ranked by shots ahead of the fifth matchday makes for fascinating reading. READ MORE: Premier League Giants Warned That Barcelona Will Move For Their Superstar After four games, the 2018/19 season is beginning to take shape, and Manchester City are looking good to continue their dominance. The Citizens are only fourth in the league following a shock draw at Wolves, but on the whole they continue to impress, and they have had the most shots of any club by far. Pep Guardiola’s men have pulled the trigger 91 times - resulting in a league-high 11 goals so far. The three teams above City in the actual table are Chelsea, Liverpool and Watford. The first two of those clubs are in second and third on the table ranked by shots, with the Blues taking 76 and the Reds hitting 66. But the Hornets, despite winning four straight games, are down in 12th place with just 48 shots so far. Perhaps the most...

Arsenal agree cut-price deal for star winger – Deal to be done in 24hrs



Arsenal News HQ brings you the latest Arsenal news, match analysis, transfer news, injury news, team news and rumours from trusted media outlets around the World.
Lucas Perez is close to a move to West Ham, with talks planned to finalise the deal on before Thursday, according to reports in Italy.

Matteo Moretto of the usually-reliable Di Marzio writes that Perez is ‘near to the West Ham of Pellegrini’. This is despite the English and Portuguese media’s claims that the forward was closing in on a move to Sporting CP, claims which were flatly denied by the player’s agent.

Nicolo Schira, Italian journalist for La Gazzetta dello Sport, corroborates the story that Perez is ‘getting closer’ to West Ham. He adds that the two clubs will talk on Monday to finalise a deal. The timing makes sense, as the team have been away in Sweden playing against Lazio this weekend.

It seemed like Perez was going to be given another chance in pre-season, as he took part in the opening games. However, it became clear he was planning to move on after missing out on the Chelsea and Lazio ties.

Whether this was because Perez didn’t manage to score in the opening games, whilst Nketiah, Aubameyang and Lacazette all found the net multiple times, or because he wasn’t impressing in training, it’s hard to say.

A transfer before Thursday’s deadline certainly looks likely though.
