To sign for Man United this summer:
Nasri 7/2, Modric 4/1 or Sneijder 1/5
Newcastle United have completed the signing of French forward Gabriel Obertan from Manchester United. The winger failed to establish himself at Old Trafford following his switch from French outfit Bordeaux two years ago and has now signed a five year contract at St.James Park, where he is expected to fill the void left by Wayne Routledge’s departure to the Liberty Stadium.
The fee paid by Newcastle to United for Obertan’s services was not officially revealed, but sources reveal it to be somewhere around £3m. Obertan thus becomes Newcastle’s fifth acquisition of the summer after Yohan Cabaye, Demba Ba, Sylvain Marveaux and Mehdi Abeid and could make his debut for the Magpies in their Premier League opener against Arsenal this weekend.

Blackburn Rovers have completed the signing of midfielder Radoslav Petrovic from Partizan Belgrade. The Serbian international becomes only Rovers’ second signing of the summer after Scottish striker David Goodwillie, who arrived at Ewood Park from Dundee United. Petrovic has signed a four year contract with Blackburn but details of the transfer fee paid by the Lancashire outfit were not disclosed.
Petrovic was close to completing a move to Dutch outfit Vitesse Arnhem last month but the transfer collapsed at the last moment. The midfielder, who joined Partizan from Radnički Obrenovac in 2008, has earned 19 caps for the Serbian national team and is currently with his team mates for tomorrow evening’s international fixture against Russia. He was named in the Serbian league’s team of the season for both 2009-10 and 2010-11.
Petrovic may feature in Rovers’ opening game of the season against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Swans to swoop for Trezeguet?

According to media reports, Swansea City are set to land a big name signing in the form of French striker David Trezeguet. The 33 year old forward, a member of the victorious French 1998 World Cup squad and scorer of the winner at Euro 2000, is currently a free agent after leaving Spanish outfit Hercules Alicante following the latter’s relegation from La Liga.
Trezegol, as he was fondly named at Juventus, netted twelve times for Hercules last season in the league. Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers reckons the forward’s big game experience could prove handy for the Swans as they aim to stay in the league following a surprise promotion from the Championship last season.
Swansea’s opening game of the 2011/12 season sees them travel to Man City next Monday.
