‘Do it on a regular basis’ – Alan Shearer sends message to NUFC star testing Bruce to the limit
Newcastle United secured a 3-2 victory over West Ham United yesterday, moving nine points and three places off the relegation zone as a result. The win edged the Magpies closer to safety, and French winger Allan Saint-Maximin played a huge role again as his side recorded crucial back-to-back victories. The 24-year-old came off the bench to help Newcastle to a 2-1 win over Burnley last weekend, assisting and scoring to help Steve Bruce’s men pick up a crucial win. Saint-Maximin’s return to fitness could not have come at a better time, and he has single-handedly handed them a massive survival boost. The St James’ Park outfit face Liverpool, Arsenal, Leicester City and Manchester City in their next four matches before clashing with Sheffield United and Fulham in their last two games of the ca...
5 decisive games in Sheffield United’s season
Following a 1-0 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Sheffield United’s relegation from the Premier League was confirmed with six games remaining. It’s been a miserable campaign for the Blades, racking up just 14 points from 32 outings, scoring only 17 goals. To say they’ve been a shadow of the team they were last season is being generous. The departure of Chris Wilder, coupled with the loss of Premier League TV revenue, could have a lasting impact at Bramall Lane. Here are five games that defined Sheffield United’s season. Sheffield United 0-1 Leeds United Sheffield United conceded late on, making it three games without a point Having lost their opening two games against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa without scoring a goal, a fixture against a newly-promoted Leeds United side...
Everton striker’s brother does not see him at Goodison Park next season
Everton striker Moise Kean has been in fine form since joining Paris Saint-Germain on a season-long last summer, and he is not short of suitors ahead of the summer transfer window. The French giants are keen on signing him permanently after he bagged 16 goals in 32 games across all competitions since arriving, while Juventus are looking to bringing him back. Kean joined Everton from the Serie A giants in the summer of 2019 on a five-year deal for an initial £25.1 million, but he struggled to make an impact. The 21-year-old played 37 times for the Toffees, starting nine times and scoring four goals before his temporary exit at the beginning of 2020-21. Kean’s form since then has attracted plenty of suitors, with Inter Milan also keen. Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti insists that the Italy i...

Alan Shearer reacts to Newcastle win over West Ham, hails 21-yr-old’s contribution
Newcastle United picked up a 3-2 win over West Ham United in the Premier League yesterday. The victory over the Hammers will come as a massive boost to Steve Bruce’s side who are fighting for their survival in the Premier League. The Magpies are now nine points clear of 18th placed Fulham and it would be a huge surprise if they fail to preserve their Premier League status for another season at the very least. An own goal from Issa Diop and strikes from Joelinton and Joe Willock sealed the three points for the Magpies yesterday. Newcastle will be hoping to build on it on the result and finish the season strongly now. With the likes of Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson back from injury, the Magpies will certainly improve in the coming weeks. Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer has...
‘Out of the team’, ‘Terrible today’ – Some West Ham fans tear into 30-yr-old after defeat
West Ham United were beaten 3-2 by Newcastle United in the Premier League yesterday and the Hammers will be disappointed with the way they lost the game. Unnecessary defensive errors cost the Hammers vital three points yesterday and the defeat could be damaging to their top-four aspirations. West Ham were down to ten men after just 36 minutes following a couple of mistimed challenges from Craig Dawson. The experienced centre back was sent off and the Hammers struggled to contain the Magpies after that. Dawson has been in very poor form over the last five matches and he has scored two own goals in that period as well. Yesterday’s sending off seems to have infuriated the Hammers fans and it will be interesting to see if David Moyes keeps him in the starting line-up once his suspension is ove...
‘He can go all the way’: Former Chelsea star blasts critics of ‘special player’
Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has tipped Mason Mount to become a club legend if he resists the temptation to move elsewhere. During an interview with talkSPORT, Cole sang the praises of a player that many critics have disparaged over the past few months. “I’ve been so impressed with him,” said Cole. “I trained with him at the back end of my career. “When I was coming back from America to keep myself fit I trained with Mason and I knew from the first ten minutes of the session he was a special, special player. “I couldn’t understand it for the life of me why people weren’t singing his praises. “He’s a young man and he’s ended up captaining Chelsea this year – he’s playing regularly, he’s scoring goals now. “He’s a top, top player and I think he can go all the way.” SL View It is impossible t...

Bielsa has reportedly told Orta to sign Rangers star before pre-season
According to The Scottish Sun, Leeds United remain interested in recruiting the services of Rangers winger Ryan Kent and are preparing a £15 million bid ahead of the summer transfer window. The Elland Road outfit tabled two bids for the Light Blues star last summer, with the last one worth £11 million. However, Rangers held on to Kent and he helped fire them to their 55th Scottish Premiership title a couple of weeks ago. Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa remains keen on the 24-year-old as he prepares his side for another season in the Premier League, and he has told director of football Victor Orta to try and pull off a deal for Kent before the start of the 2021-22 pre-season.

Chelsea consider £100m-rated midfielder as ‘better alternative’ to West Ham United star
Chelsea have identified Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham as a ‘better alternative’ to West Ham United’s Declan Rice, Eurosport claims. The Blues spent more than £220 million on new signings last summer, but they have been far from competing with Manchester City for the Premier League title. There has been an upturn in their league results since Thomas Tuchel took charge as manager in January, but there is still plenty of room for improvement. The club were heavily linked with a move for Rice when Lampard was the head coach last summer, and he continues to remain on their radar. However, it is reported that the Blues may turn their focus from Rice to Bellingham on the back of his sublime debut campaign with Dortmund. The 17-year-old made the big step from Birmingham City to...
Wolverhampton Wanderers ready to offload 25-year-old attacker, set £30m asking price
Wolverhampton Wanderers are prepared to part ways with Adama Traore as they aim to recoup funds for their summer transfer business, Football Insider reports. Traore had an impressive 2019/2020 campaign with the Midlands outfit, registering six goals and 12 assists from 54 appearances across all competitions. However, he has struggled to replicate his form this term with just two goals and two assists from 34 appearances for the club to date. Wolves reportedly put off Traore’s suitors last summer with a valuation between £60-70 million, but they are now ready to sell him for just £30m. The club are no longer in a position to spend big, and it is claimed that they will prioritise Traore’s exit to accumulate funds for new signings.

Leicester City interested in signing £36m West Ham United target with 18 goal contributions
Leicester City are among the clubs interested in landing the signature of out-of-favour Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham this summer, reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano claims. The England international is the Blues’ top scorer with 12 goals this term, but he has barely played since Thomas Tuchel took charge as the manager in January. He has not featured in any competition over the past two months and was left out of the squad for the club’s FA Cup semi-final triumph over Manchester City today. West Ham United are reportedly keeping tabs on the 23-year-old, and Romano claims that the Foxes are also in the running to secure his services.
