Stuart Downing: Wins biggest wanker competition/News that THO would appreciate

1. West Ham United are set to snap up Icelandic prospect Holmar Orn Eyjolfsson.
The 17 year-old defender is contracted to HK Kopavogur and West Ham are close to agreeing terms for the youngster.

2. Middlesbrough's England star Stewart Downing has revealed he's an amateur DJ!
In fact, he's more than an amateur, having already performed at some major night spots.

Obviously, in the season you can't do too much because you don't want to be out late or be drinking. In football, there are pressures but when you're DJ-ing there is more pressure. In football, you have your team-mates to help you out and you can put it right, but not up there. If you make a mistake it is just you in front of a few hundred people dancing," Downing told the Sunday Times.

"It's a lot more nerve-racking DJ-ing than playing football. I played the Purple Onion in 'Boro and I have done it in Ibiza at Eden and places like that. At Eden you can get a thousand people in there in different rooms. You've got to mix the tracks right. You don't want any clashing. It's a different challenge, a mental one. I play Funky House and I would love to do it more."

3. West Ham United midfielder Freddie Ljungberg may miss this summer's Euro2008 after suffering a cracked rib in his side's 2-2 draw with Newcastle.

The Sweden international was stretchered off at Upton Park in a first-half clash with Steven Taylor and manager Alan Curbishley revealed the player had been injured.
The former Arsenal man therefore becomes the latest player to join West Ham's lengthy absentee list.

Curbishley said: "I think Taylor has tried to leapfrog him and landed on him. He has been raked all down the side and front of his face and cracked a rib.

"That's another one out for us but we are hoping he will be okay for the Euros."

4. Tottenham have won the race to sign highly-rated Croatia midfielder Luka Modric from Dinamo Zagreb for a fee believed to be £15.8million.

The Premier League club have agreed personal terms with the 22-year-old, who was reportedly courted by many of Europe's top sides, and he will leave Zagreb for White Hart Lane this summer subject to his passing a medical.

Modric must also obtain a work permit but that will be a formality given his status as one of the continent's most coveted talents.
