Otman Bakkal: Has departed PSV for Dynamo Moscow on three-year deal


Midfielder Otman Bakkal has joined Dynamo Moscow on a three-year deal after his contract at PSV Eindhoven expired.
The once-capped Holland international spent last season on loan at Feyenoord, scoring nine goals in 28 Eredivisie games.
It is thought the Rotterdammers were keen to keep the 27-year-old at De Kuip but Bakkal was desperate for a foreign move.
Russian club Dynamo confirmed the capture of the attacking midfielder on a free transfer on their official website.
Ambitious

Bakkal said on his arrival: "From the first contact I had with representatives of the Moscow club, I knew they were a serious club.
"What I've seen has fully justified my expectations.
"This is an ambitious team with big goals. I have made an excellent decision and I am glad that I've become part of Dynamo."
Bakkal had been on PSV's books since he began his professional career in 2003 but spent time on loan at FC Den Bosch, FC Eindhoven and FC Twente, as well as Feyenoord.
He will link up with former PSV team-mate Balazs Dzsudzsak at Dynamo after the Hungarian winger moved to Russia in January.

John Guidetti: Agent is trying to secure loan move to Serie A for Manchester City striker


John Guidetti's agent insists Italy could be the Manchester City striker's new home next season.
The Sweden international enjoyed a successful loan spell with Feyenoord last season and has already made it clear he has no interest in returning to City to sit on the bench.
Agent Roberto De Fanti is keen to find a Serie A club for the 20-year-old given his Italian roots and has arranged a meeting with Lazio sporting director Igli Tare.
"Guidetti is being tracked by Lazio but also by Fiorentina and Sampdoria," he told Radio Mana Mana.
Real possibility

"I have also spoken with Roma in the past, but they have many strikers and I don't see a real possibility with them.
"Playing in Italy would be a dream for him, considering his origins. I know Tare well and tomorrow there could be a new meeting with him in Milan.
"John is a classic striker, he looks like (Gianluca) Vialli for features.
"At City he would have difficulty in finding space, given that there are many forwards there. He follows Serie A and he would love to play there."

Hulk: I've 'done nothing with Chelsea'
Last Updated: July 11 2012, 9:08 BST

Porto striker Hulk has again dismissed speculation that he has held talks with Chelsea and says he is focused on preparations for the Olympics with Brazil.



Hulk: Porto striker hasn't spoken to Chelsea
Hulk has been mooted as a long-term target for Chelsea and reports have claimed the European champions are trying to bring the forward to Stamford Bridge.
Paris St Germain are also reportedly interested in Hulk, but he says he is taking little notice of the rumours about his future.
Instead, the 25-year-old is concentrating on the upcoming London Games after being named as one of Brazil's over-age football players.


"I have done nothing with Chelsea or any other club," stated Hulk to Lancenet.
"I have four more years on my contract with Porto and I'm focusing on the national team.
"I haven't talked to anyone. As everyone knows, I don't follow negotiations closely as that will make me lose my focus. I let my agent deal with that stuff."
