Alan Curbishley continues to make waves in the transfer market.
His latest target seems to be his former charge at Charlton Athletic Darren Bent, who is certain to move to a Premiership club after suffering relegation last season.
However, keen to cash in on their prize asset, the money men at the Valley are demanding somewhere in the region of £15 to £20 million for the player.
Regardless of whether or not Bent makes the switch to Upton Park, Marlon Harewood is on his way out of the club after being told he is surplus to requirements.
And Manchester City, Wigan Athletic and Fulham have already emerged as the leading suitors for the player's signature.
Another striker soon to be on the move is Wigan's Henri Camara. Signed from Wolves only a couple of years ago, the Latics are keen to cash in on the Senegal star, whose career at the JJB Stadium has apparently run its course.
Pompey are the leading candidates to sign him with a bid of £3 million set to be accepted by Dave Whelan.
And finally, Chelsea's star man Didier Drogba is urging Chelsea to make a last-ditch bid to disrupt the transfer of flying French winger Florent Malouda to Bayern Munich.
The Lyon man is reportedly on the verge of agreeing to the £17 million switch but Drogba, never one to underestimate his own ability, believes he can persuade his former Guingamp team-mate that London is the place for him.
