"It is true the England team would have liked to have had me as assistant coach," Clement told Sport Bild. "There was an inquiry, and it is a huge honour. I thought about it but there is so much to do at Bayern that it is incompatible. That's why, after consulting with the team, I turned it down."

Newcastle United transfers: Magpies have bid for Hull's Mohamed Diame - according to sources


MONDAY 1 AUG 2016


BY LEE RYDER


Magpies aiming to bring in powerful midfielder as they prepare for life after Moussa Sissoko who is being courted by some of Europe's top clubs



Newcastle United have lined up Mohamed Diame as a possible replacement for Moussa Sissoko.

The Magpies are yet to sell the French international, but want Diame to boost their midfield, and the Senegal international is thought to be interested in a move to Tyneside.

Sources in Hull say that United have placed a bid for Diame with the player having a release clause in his contract this summer.

Diame also has just one year left on his current deal meaning this is Hull’s last chance to cash in on the man who scored the goal against Sheffield Wednesday that took them back to the Premier League.

The 29-year-old has plenty of experience of English football having starred for Wigan Athletic, West Ham and the Tigers after moving to the Premier League from Rayo Vallecano in 2009.

Diame and his Hull team-mates are still in a state of shock after the departure of City boss Steve Bruce.

He said last week: “Everyone is really sad because the manager was an important person for us all.

“He looked after us like a father, to be honest, and to see him go is really sad.

“But we can’t do anything to change what has happened, it is done now and all we can do is think about getting prepared for the new season because it is going to be really tough.”

However, Newcastle, who are likely to sell Cheick Tiote and Florian Thauvin this week, are ready to offer him a new career challenge.

The big news this morning is that Paul Pogba appears to be closing on a move to Manchester United.

Pogba has been partying in Las Vegas ahead of flying to the UK and completing his world-record transfer from Juventus.

Keeping his cards close to his chest, Pogba spoke to Sky Sports News HQ's Andy Burton in Vegas, and when asked whether the deal was close to being concluded, he only said "we'll see".

However, sources at Old Trafford told SSNHQ late on Sunday night that the deal is now virtually agreed in principle between the two clubs, with personal terms also close to being confirmed between the player and Manchester United.

Yet the finer details of both aspects of the transfer - including payment of Raiola's fee - are yet to be resolved, with negotiations set to continue this week.

SANE AND STONES SET FOR CITY

But it's not just Manchester United who are active in the transfer market...

We understand Manchester City are progressing on deals for Leroy Sane and John Stones.

Schalke winger Sane was in Manchester over the weekend to finalise a move that could be worth in excess of £30m, according to Sky in Germany.

Sane informed the German club last week he wanted to leave to push through a transfer to City, after talks between the clubs stalled because they couldn't agree on the valuation of the player.
City's owners are also confident they can wrap up a deal for Everton defender Stones in the next week for a fee in the region of £50m, according to Sky sources.

Guardiola confirmed recently that discussions with Everton were ongoing and City are now hopeful a deal is nearing completion.

STILL GUNNING FOR LACAZETTE

Arsenal remain interested in signing Alexandre Lacazette and will make an improved offer for the Lyon forward, according to Sky sources.

Manager Arsene Wenger is keen to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season, but saw a bid in the region of £30m for Lacazette rejected by the Ligue 1 club last week.

Lacazette, who has scored 48 league goals over the past two seasons, signed a new four-year contract to remain at Lyon only last August.

ALEXANDRE FOR ARSENAL?

Arsenal can be backed at 6/4 with Sky Bet to sign Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette this summer. PSG are second-favourites at 7/1 to complete a deal but the forward is odds-on at 4/6 to remain where he is.

MULLER TIME FOR WYCOMBE

Wycombe have signed defender Max Muller, 22, on a short-term contract after he impressed on trial.

"Max did really well and I saw enough to convince me to take a chance on him and see how he gets on when he's back from injury," Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth told the club website.
