Insider Dharmesh Sheth has revealed Niclas Fullkrug is edging closer to a move to West Ham, in a move which would thoroughly embarrass Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran.

Lawmakers are wading back into the with a comprehensive bill to legalize online and retail sports betting for stakeholders in the North Star State.
