Luis Antonio Valencia flew in last night to complete his dream £16million move to Manchester United - and end Sir Alex Ferguson's wait for a first signing of the summer.Ecuadorian ace Valencia cut short a break back in his homeland to make the trip and will have a medical at Old Trafford today while his contract details are sorted out.Valencia has been holding out for a move to United for five months since Fergie first showed his hand and tried to buy him from Latics in the last window.Real Madrid and Bayern Munich were given the brush-off by Valencia and his camp because he wants to make the trip along the M62 and join the champions as Cristiano Ronaldo's replacement.It is a dream move for Valencia who can expect to quadruple his wages and sign a deal worth around £75,000-a-week.

Olympiakos have launched an audacious attempt to sign Michael Owen. The Greek club are offering Owen Champions League football and a bumper wage packet to quit the Premier League and resurrect his career in Athens ahead of next year's World Cup. Having already signed Blackburn striker Matt Derbyshire and former Aston Villa defender Olof Mellberg from Juventus, Olympiakos believe they will beat the wages on offer to Owen in England. Hull and Stoke have both expressed an interest in signing him, but Everton could be his best option if they follow up their initial round of talks.

Sky Sources understand Manchester City have made a £25million bid to Barcelona for striker Samuel Eto'o. On Sunday, Barca president Joan Laporta claimed affluent club City had made a "stratospheric offer" to Eto'o.The Cameroon international's future is the subject of conjecture as he enters the final year of his current contract.With just 12 months to run on his deal with the European champions, he could leave Camp Nou as a free agent next summer.Eto'o's agent is set to hold a press conference on Tuesday in a bid to clarify the Barcelona striker's future.Reports emanating from Spain suggest Eto'o's representative, Jose Maria Mesalles, is to announce the forward plans to see out his deal at Barca.City manager Mark Hughes has signed two players since the end of the season, with midfielder Gareth Barry arriving from Aston Villa at the beginning of June.Last week, long-term target Roque Santa Cruz completed a reported £18million move from Blackburn Rovers.Hughes is keen to build a side breaking into the top four, and the potential arrival of Eto'o would prove a coup for the ambitious Eastlands outfit.

Black Danny (former Villa Hooligan) just posted this on facebook:

Danny Brown Transfer Rumours ..LOL! I was chatting with Aaron Lescott yesterday afternoon, in Lozells North side of Birmingham. Lescott whom started his career as an Aston Villa trainee after making only one first team appearance is the older brother of Everton and England defender Joleon Lescott. Aaron was in the opinion that his younger brother Joleon would jump at the chance of joining his boyhood team Aston Villa.
Despite all the (rightful) stick hes got down the years it would be an amazing signing

Looks like we're signing someone by friday, probably Wednesday - hope it's Lescott.SSN just said we're in for Veloso - not that fussed by him though, good he's got a left foot I guess. He's no better than Barry and is similar so we'd be left with the same problems.

Valencia 'undergoing medical' at Manchester UnitedReports suggest a fee of £16m has been agreed between the two clubs for the Ecuadorian.Should the deal go through, it will be Alex Ferguson's first signing of the summer as he looks to rebuild his squad following the departures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.United have also been strongly linked with a bid for Lyon forward Karim Benzema, but various reports suggest he is likely to move to Real Madrid should he leave France.
