Manchester United keeper Edwin van der Sar has revealed that next season may be his last for the club.

Van der Sar, 36, who will be out of contract next June, admitted he did not perform as well as normal last season.

The Dutchman is expected to start the new campaign as United's first-choice keeper, with Ben Foster ruled out with a cruciate ligament injury.

Van der Sar will face competition from Poland's Tomasz Kuszczak, who recently completed a permanent move to Old Trafford after a one-year loan spell from West Brom.

Chelsea winger Arjen Robben has agreed personal terms over a move to Real Madrid, reports BBC Radio Five Live.

The clubs are yet to agree a fee, which is understood to be about £15m, but Robben, 23, is due to fly to the Spanish capital on Friday.

It is also believed Feyenoord's 20-year-old left winger Royston Drenthe has been lined up to replace Dutch international Robben.

Holland Under-21 star Drenthe is expected to move for £7m.


Spurs striker Mido has revealed he is close to signing a one-year loan deal with Birmingham.

The 24-year-old Egypt international had limited opportunities under Martin Jol at White Hart Lane last season and almost signed for Manchester City.

Mido is now further down the pecking order after Spurs signed Darren Bent.


Carlos Tevez's adviser Kia Joorabchian has criticised West Ham's conduct over the Argentine's proposed transfer to Manchester United.

With the move of the 23-year-old forward deadlocked, Joorabchian made his critical comments in a statement.

Tevez was in Manchester on Tuesday but West Ham refused permission for him to have a medical at Old Trafford.

But Joorabchian was confident last week that he had a sound legal footing to push through the transfer.

"We don't see any problems. I spoke to United and they are confident they will have him registered within days," he claimed.

"Personal terms between Carlos and United have been agreed in full. He feels confident now he is a Manchester United player."


Fifa World Player of the Year Fabio Cannavaro has rejected the chance to join Chelsea, according to his agent.

New Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has said that Fabio is untouchable. It's highly unlikely that Fabio will leave Real Madrid at least this year.

Cannavaro joined Real from Juventus shortly after skippering Italy to World Cup glory last summer, and is under contract with the Spanish champions for a further two seasons.


Reading have signed three 16-year-old South Korean youth internationals.

Nam Taehee, Ji Dongwon and Kim Wonsik will join the Royals' academy as part of the Korean Football Association's overseas youth development programme.

Reading academy manager Eamonn Dolan told his club's website: "We're pleased to form this partnership with the KFA.
