Football Transfer Rumours - Apr-12-2013

Borussia Dortmund have offered Sevilla £15m for forward Alvaro Negredo, 27, as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who is expected to leave the German side in the summer.

Stoke are considering a bid for Denmark and FC Copenhagen striker Andreas Cornelius, 20, to replace Michael Owen. Everton are also thought to be keen on Cornelius, who scored his first goal for Denmark against the Republic of Ireland in March.

Tottenham are ready to approach Everton midfielder Leon Osman, 31, following the breakdown of contract talks between the England international and the Toffees.

West Ham are set to offer Liverpool £10m for striker Andy Carroll. The 24-year-old, on loan at Upton Park, is valued at £17m by the Reds but injuries and his goal return have prompted the Hammers to re-evaluate their bid.

Liverpool must decide whether to pay a minimum of £12m if they are to beat Arsenal to Ashley Williams.

Liverpool are favourites to sign Swansea defender Ashley Williams, 28, this summer despite interest from Arsenal.
