Raúl signs with Schalke and is making Germany go mental!

With rumours spanning from the Premier League to the Los Angeles Galaxy, Raúl has finalised his transfer to German club Schalke. The Royal Blues are set to officially unveil him at the Veltins Arena on Wednesday, a day earlier than expected. For Raul to get his beloved number 7, former wearer Hao Junmin had to discreetly give it up.
Some 50,000 Schalke shirts with Raul’s name and the number seven have been ordered by the Champions League participants for the game against Hamburg. The club’s website crashed on Monday when BILD first broke news that the transfer deal was done. It’s safe to say that Germany is catching Raúl fever.



Owen Coyle is the happiest man in Bolton tonight as he was able to add to his side’s squad depth by signing 19-year-old Marcos Alonso from Real Madrid. Alonso, who plays left back, realised that he was unlikely to get regular first team football in Madrid, which led him to pursue his options elsewhere. Bolton has signed the talented youngster on a three-year deal.
