Roy Keane is not done chasing after Manchester United’s Jonny Evans. With Younes Kaboul not coming in, Keane would like to add a quality center-back and he believes that Evans could fill that role either on loan or permanently.
Fulham have 48 hours to complete a deal for Everton striker Andy Johnson before the Toffees begin to look elsewhere. Any delay would likely bring Sunderland and Wigan back into the mix.
Younes Kaboul and Nicky Shorey look set to join Pompey. Kaboul has turned down moves to Sunderland and Aston Villa already this summer.
Cross your fingers, striker going under knife.
