The English Premier League season is now in full swing and rumors have been raging. We bring you some of the most exciting rumors going around today.

Will José Mourinho meet Didier Drogba?

Apparently, José Mourinho repeatedly pleaded with Florentino Pérez, president of his new club Real Madrid, to sign Chelsea forward Didier Drogba from the Ivory Coast. Remember, both Didier Drogba and José Mourinho teamed up at Chelsea in the latter’s three fruitful years spent with the Stamford Bridge club in the EPL. José was reported to have tried to persuade the money men in Madrid to bring Drogba up until the very last minute of the transfer day deadline. Of course, it’s one thing to say Mourinho wanted the star striker, but it’s a whole other pot of fish to imagine Chelsea would ever want to part with their talismanic goalscorer.

Will Liverpool part with two midfielders in exchange for a striker?

Another rumor going around is that Liverpool are willing to offer both Brazilian midfielder Lucas Leiva and Dutch striker Ryan Babel in exchange for West Ham striker Carlton Cole. While Carlton Cole is undoubtedly a striker of high pedigree, one has to wonder what Liverpool fans think of the proposed deal. Also, neither player was apparently willing to leave Anfield for Upton Park, which is probably not surprising given that West Ham is very likely to struggle this season, having barely managed to stay in the top flight of the English Premier League. in the last season.

Well, it would have been news to his ears to hear that manager Arsene Wenger was looking to remedy that situation as his team enters the new season. Unfortunately, word on the street is that Arsenal missed out on signing a reliable goalkeeper, Mark Schwarzer from Fulham, as Mark Hughes, Fulham’s new manager, was unable to find a suitable replacement in time for the signing deadline. English Premier League transfer from August 31.
