Liverpool Transfer News: Jarrod Bowen on Jurgen Klopp’s radar
Liverpool have been linked with a move for the West Ham United winger Jarrod Bowen. According to a report from the Mirror, the Reds are keen on signing the 24-year-old but they are unlikely to make a move during the January transfer window.

He made big steps.” Bowen has certainly developed into one of the most efficient attackers in the Premier League since his move from Hull and he put on a splendid performance against Liverpool on Sunday. The West Ham w...
Manchester United Transfer News: Jules Kounde linked with a January move
Sevilla defender Jules Kounde was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea during the summer transfer window but the Spanish outfit refused to sell the player in the end. According to AS, Manchester United could now make a move for the talented young Frenchman.

In Monday’s NBA game, the Denver Nuggets faced off against the Miami Heat in a home game. With just 2:39 left in the final quarter, the Nuggets were approaching a 113-96 win against the Heat, however, in a run-in with Markeiff Morris, the reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic ended up in a scuffle that led to the ejection of both players.

NOTE,” which instigated a heated exchange between himself and the Jokic brothers. Jokic’s brothers Strahinja and Nemanja then created their own Twitter acc...
Scottie Pippen Takes Another Shot at Michael Jordan Over His “Flu Game”
Scottie Pippen continues to question Michael Jordan‘s NBA success. This time, Pippen is discrediting Jordan’s memorable 19977 NBA Finals “Flu Game.” In a recent SiriusXM interview, former Chicago Bulls continued to question Michael Jordan’s commitment to playing. When Pippen was asked about playing with a back injury during the 1998 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz, he took the opportunity to share that he probably would not have played if the series went to Game 7 because of a herniated disc. That year, the Bulls won the series in six games. The conversation later segued into Jordan’s flu game, to which Pippen directly compared his back issue, “I don’t see many bad back games, but I do see flu games. Flu. Come on.” Pippen continued to pick at Jordan’s “Flu Game” and explained that he was ...
Newcastle United Transfers: Three players Eddie Howe must sign in January
Manchester United appointed Eddie Howe as their manager last week and the 43-year-old will be expected to turn things around at St James’ Park over the next few weeks. The Magpies are currently in the relegation zone and they will need to improve massively in order to stay in the Premier League next season. Howe did an impressive job with Bournemouth in the Premier League but he will need the backing of the owners in the transfer market in order to transform the side. Newcastle are in desperate need of reinforcements right now. The squad is lacking in depth and quality especially in the defence and midfield. Howe must look to bring in a top-class centre back when the transfer window re-opens and a goalscoring midfielder should be a top priority as well. Here a...
