Patrick Vieira says Daniel Ek will try again to buy Arsenal, time for a change
Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira has said that Daniel Ek will make a fresh bid to buy the club despite the owners having no intention to sell. Ek initially revealed his desire to buy the club last month when the fans protested against the ownership of the Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) group. Since then, club legends such as Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp have publicly backed the Swedish billionaire to take charge of the Gunners. Ek recently confirmed that he made an opening bid to KSE, but the offer was rejected with the Kroenkes stating that they don’t need the money. Vieira has now revealed that the Spotify co-founder will make a fresh approach as he is a huge fan of the north London club. He added that the 38-year-old is prepared to stay patient and wait for the opportunity t...

Everton and Spurs keen on 24-yr-old they have been tracking since 2018/19
Everton and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Lille defender Zeki Celik this summer. According to L’Equipe, the 24-year-old has been on the two English clubs’ radar since the 2018/19 season.

‘Does that mean he’s leaving, pls stay’ – Some NUFC fans react to ASM’s post
Newcastle United attacking midfielder Allan Saint-Maximin has been linked with Roma, with the Italians’ new manager Jose Mourinho an admirer of his style of play. The Frenchman is expected to attract more suitors this summer, but the Magpies are not looking to let their best player leave after just two seasons. Newcastle currently value Saint-Maximin at around £70 million, and that is likely to scare off Roma and other interested clubs. The 24-year-old ended 2020-21 with three goals and four assists in 25 Premier League games, but he brings more than his contributions in the final third to the table. The winger gets Newcastle fans off their seats with his pace and ability to beat his markers with ease, and it is not surprising to hear that Mourinho wants him. Saint-Maximin took to Instagra...

‘Thank you for your support’ – Spurs man sends message as appointment ends
Tottenham Hotspur under-23s manager Ryan Mason was appointed as the first-team manager on an interim basis following the departure of Jose Mourinho last month. The 29-year-old kicked off his stint in the dugout with a 2-1 win over Southampton, but could not help Spurs end their 13-year trophy drought, with Manchester City narrowly pipping his side to the FA Cup title four days later. Tottenham lost two and won three of their next five games under Mason, clinching seventh place in the Premier League to qualify for the Europa Conference League. The North Londoners are looking to bring in a permanent manager this summer, and the 29-year-old has ended his role as interim boss. Mason is proud to have been in charge of his childhood club for a little over a month, and has taken to Twitter to mes...

Journalist claims 24-yr-old ace has chosen Tottenham as the team he wants to join
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for 24-year-old Danish international Joachim Andersen in recent weeks. According to Jack Pitt Brooke from the Athletic, the defender has now chosen Spurs as the club he wants to join this summer. Andersen has been outstanding for Fulham during his loan spell in the Premier League, and his parent club Lyon are willing to cash in on him. It was previously reported that the defender would cost around £25 million, and it is unclear whether Spurs are willing to pay that much. Andersen has proven his quality with a struggling Fulham side this season, and there is no doubt that he would be a quality long term addition to Tottenham’ defence. With Davinson Sanchez expected to leave the club and Toby Alderweireld on the decline, the Londoners must look ...

Arsenal’s longest-serving player Hector Bellerin could be on his way out of north London in the upcoming transfer window.
