Man United on course to sign long-term transfer target as Real Madrid name price tag

- Manchester United could close in a summer deal for Toni Kroos

- The German has been a long-term target for the Premier League side

- Real Madrid are demanding £50m for the 29-year-old midfielder

Manchester United are set to rekindle their interest in Real Madrid midfielder, Toni Kroos, after the German reportedly deciding to leave the La Liga side in the summer.

The 29-year-old has been a long-term target for the Premier League giants since his time at Bayern Munich, with several United managers initially attempting to lure him to Old Trafford.

The attempts failed as Real Madrid snapped him shortly afterwards in 2014.

However, despite having a relatively glittering career at the Santiago Bernabeu, the former Bayern Munich star has endured a difficult campaign with Los Blancos this season.

According to SunSport, Kroos is now ready to exit this summer with the hope of reigniting his spark elsewhere.

Madrid are said to be demanding £50 million for the midfielder who is still under contract until 2022.

His disastrous campaign this season has seen him fail to score a single goal in 21 appearances for Madrid, bagging a paltry three assists in the process.

Aside from United, French giants, Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be interested in the services of the 91-cap German international.

However, having previously indicated his desire to play in the Premier League, Old Trafford seems a likely destination for Kroos.

The midfielder has won La Liga and three Champions League titles since his £27 million move to Madrid from Bayern.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has commenced steps in helping his client complete a move to join Real Madrid from Manchester United, reports claim.

The France international admitted during the week that it is every player's dream to feature at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Pogba also expressed his desire to play under new Los Blancos boss and France legend Zinedine Zidane.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
