Transfer News:Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster has signed a contract extension that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2013. It is a welcome boost for the 26-year-old, whose career has been hampered by injury.
He missed the end of last season after needing surgery on a ruptured ligament in his right thumb.
United manager Alex Ferguson said: "We are delighted that Ben has signed a new four-year deal.
"Ben is seen as one of the best young goalkeepers in England and we genuinely see him as a successor to Edwin van der Sar"
Zhirkov feels 'perfect' at Chelesea
Yuri Zhirkov claims he has undergone his Chelsea medical and is in a "perfect mood".
The Blues confirmed yesterday that they had reached an agreement for the £18million-rated CSKA Moscow star and the 25-year-old left-sided Russia international has now confirmed he has had a medical.
"The medical examination took around three hours," he told Sport Express.
"First I passed general examination and then the doctors put me into a special chamber to study my body in greater depth.
"I haven't been at Chelsea's stadium and training base yet, but I will do that on Tuesday.
"I will also be introduced to the coaching staff and players as I'm going to have my first training session with the team.
"I'm in a perfect mood right now as I like the way people have welcomed me into the club.
"Although I haven't spent much time here, I have already seen that they have a friendly attitude towards me. I am looking forward to starting my career at Chelsea."
Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko his tipped fellow Russian to be a hit.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime offer and you have to say yes," said Pavlyuchenko. "Zhirkov is a great professional. He could become a team leader. The only problem is his knowledge of the English language. If he masters that, all will be well."
Jo stuck on Toffee move
Brazilian striker Jo is with Everton at their Scottish training camp ahead of a likely loan move being agreed with Manchester City.
Jo, who scored five goals in 11 games on loan at Everton last season but was cup-tied for the run to the FA Cup final, is expected to have a season-long loan to the Goodison Park club confirmed shortly.
Jo turned up at the club's Finch Farm training ground on Monday for medical tests and travelled to a four-day training camp later in the day with boss David Moyes' squad.
Everton will be at their team hotel near Edinburgh for four days and return to play a friendly at Bury on Friday.
Jo moved to Everton last season in the January transfer window, only three weeks after coming on as a second-half substitute for City in their FA Cup third-round home defeat by Nottingham Forest, an appearance that robbed him of the chance to figure at Wembley in May against Chelsea, when Everton lost 2-1.
Now, with City having an abundance of strikers, including Craig Bellamy, Roque Santa Cruz and Robinho - plus the anticipated arrival of Carlos Tevez - Jo will find few chances to figure in Mark Hughes' first team next season.
At the end of last season Moyes made it clear Everton could not afford to match the £18million City paid CSKA Moscow for Jo last summer, but another loan will suit all parties.
