transfers news

Portsm. 29.10.09
Portsmouth hit by transfer ban

Portsmouth have been banned from registering any new players until further notice because of unpaid debts to other clubs. The ban relates to outstanding debts that the club owe to Arsenal and Chelsea for the signings of Lassana Diarra and Glen Johnson respectively. However, Portsmouth hope to resolve the situation by the end of the week. Portsmouth, bottom of the Premier League after only one win and a draw in their first 10 games, were taken over earlier this month by Saudi Arabian businessman Ali al Faraj.

Chelsea 22.10.09
Chelsea appeal against transfer ban

Chelsea have appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport against the ban on signing new players for two transfer windows imposed on them by FIFA. The Stamford Bridge side were found guilty by world football's governing body of inducing Gael Kakuta to breach his Lens contract as a 16-year-old in 2007. Chelsea have also asked for the transfer ban to be suspended until the result of the appeal is decided.

Everton 18.9.09
Lucas Neill joins Everton

Everton have confirmed the signing of defender Lucas Neill on a one-year contract. The Australia centre-back was able to join Everton outside the transfer window after leaving West Ham United when his deal expired over the summer. West Ham had offered Neill an extension but he turned down the proposal and will now continue his career at Goodison Park. Neill will increase Everton's defensive options after the departure of Joleon Lescott to Manchester City and long-term injuryies to Phil Jagielka and Phil Neville.

West Ham 17.9.09
Mexico striker Franco moves to West Ham

West Ham United have strengthened their attacking options with the signing of Mexico international Guillermo Franco. Terms of the new deal were not disclosed. The 32-year-old was a free agent following the expiry of his contract with Villarreal. A member of Mexico's 2006 World Cup squad in Germany, Franco has scored four goals in his last six games during his country's World Cup qualifying campaign.

Chelsea 4.9.09
Chelsea handed shock FIFA transfer ban

Chelsea have been banned by FIFA from signing any new players for the next two transfer windows. The punishment was handed out by world football's governing body after French clubs Lens made an official complaint over the Blues' signing of French teenager Gael Kakuta in 2007. FIFA claim Chelsea induced Kakuta into breaking his contract with Lens with an illegal cash offer when he was 16 years old. As a result, Chelsea can sell players but they cannot sign any new players until January 2011. They are expected to appeal the decision.

Meanwhile, defender Ashley Cole has become the latest player to pledge his future to Chelsea, agreeing a new four-year contract with the early season Premier League leaders. The 28-year-old English international left-back has joined captain John Terry, Didier Drogba, John Obi Mikel and Florent Malouda in signing a new deal this summer. Cole moved to Stamford Bridge from Arsenal in 2006 and has since made 88 Premiersip appearances for the London club, scoring three times.

Hull City 4.9.09
Hull City bring in Vennegoor of Hesselink

Hull City have recruited striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink to bolster their bid to stay in the Premier League. The 30-year-old Dutchman was a free agent after leaving Celtic at the end of last season, so Hull were able to complete his signing outside of the transfer window, which closed on Tuesday. He has agreed a two-year deal. Vennegoor of Hesselink spent three years at Celtic, having previously played for PSV Eindhoven.

Portsm. 1.9.09
Portsmouth make triple signing on deadline day

European football's transfer market closed for business until next year on Tuesday with a lack of the big-money moves that usually mark the last day of trading. The Premier League's bottom club Portsmouth were one of the busiest clubs on deadline day, signing three players and selling Niko Kranjcar to Tottenham Hotspur. Portsmouth brought in Israeli defender Tal Ben-Haim from Manchester City, French midfielder Hassan Yebda from Benfica and defender Mike Williamson from Watford. They also loaned England striker David Nugent to Burnley.

Croatia midfielder Kranjcar is the third player manager Harry Redknapp has signed from Portsmouth since he left the club for White Hart Lane last October, following Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch. Spurs signed the 25-year-old on a four-year deal for about €2.3m because he had just one year left on his contract and would be able to leave for free at the end of the season. Kranjcar is expected to provide immediate cover for injured compatriot Modric, who fractured a bone in his leg against Birmingham last weekend.

Aston Villa 1.9.09
Aston Villa add Dunne and Collins on deadline day

Aston Villa were the Premier League's biggest spenders on a busy transfer deadline. Manager Martin O'Neill's side strengthened their defence with the signing of Richard Dunne and James Collins from Manchester City and West Ham United respectively. Both players cost a reported €5.7m. Wales international Collins has signed a four-year contract, while Ireland international Dunne will join up with his new Villa team-mates after the latest round of international games on similar terms.

Everton 31.8.09
Everton agree Heitinga deal

Everton are closing in on signing John Heitinga after agreeing a fee of €5.7m with Atletico Madrid for the 25-year-old Netherlands defender. Everton manager David Moyes is keen to bolster his defensive options following Joleon Lescott's switch to Manchester City. Heitinga, who can play at right-back and centre-back, joined Atletico in July 2008 from Ajax for a fee in the region of €10m.

Chelsea 29.8.09
Andriy Shevchenko to move on

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that striker Andriy Shevchenko will be allowed to leave the club. "I spoke with Shevchenko. He would like to play with continuity," Ancelotti said. "Here, for me it is difficult to give him this possibility to play a lot of matches." He has also denied that Chelsea have made a bid for Bayen's forward Franck Ribery and confirmed that there would be no more significant transfers before the closure of the summer window.

Portsm. 29.8.09
Portsmouth acquire Dindane, O'Hara, Boateng, Brown

Portsmouth, who were taken over this week by United Arab Emirates investor Sulaiman al-Fahim, have a busy day in the transfer market. The 28-year-old Ivory Coast striker Aruna Dindane moved on a season-long loan from Racing Lens. Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie O'Hara, who signed a new Spurs contract to 2013 on Friday, also joined on loan until January. Another Spurs midfielder, Kevin-Prince Boateng, and Wigan Athletic midfielder Michael Brown also signed on a permanent basis. Boateng, 22, agreed a three-year deal while Brown, 32, signed a two-year deal.

Everton 28.8.09
Everton signs defender Distin

Everton signed defender Sylvain Distin from Portsmouth to replace the departed Joleon Lescott. The 31-year-old Frenchman has sign on a three-year contract. Lescott joined Manchester City this week, making it even more important that Everton manager David Moyes bolster a squad that finished fifth the past two seasons. Distin arrived in England from Paris Saint-Germain in 2002 and spent a season with Newcastle before spending five years at Manchester City. He joined Portsmouth in 2007.
