United want Spanish teenage star and other transfer gossip

Manchester United are hot on the heels of Spanish youngster Sergio Canales who stars for Racing Santander in La Liga. The 18-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season but is said to have verbally agreed to re-sign for Racing before being sold on for a lucrative fee. The club want around £10million for the teenager, but are expected to accept less if he is loaned back to them. Real Madrid are also said to be interested. Elsewhere, EPL bottom club Portsmouth are closing in on a deal for Serbia defender Dusko Tosic and have also replaced Tottenham-bound Younes Kaboul with former Spurs defender Ricardo Rocha; and Sampdoria striker Giampaolo Pazzini, Serie A’s leading scorer this season, has played down talk of a switch to Chelsea.
