Arsenal, Chelsea to rival Pep Guardiola’s side for 20-year-old with 14 goal contributions
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City have been credited with an interest in signing Inter Milan striker Martin Satriano this summer, according to The Mail. The Uruguay international has impressed for Inter’s Primavera side with nine goals and four assists, but he has yet to make his first-team debut. He was on the bench on three occasions in October last year, but he has since been out of contention to make the matchday squad for the Serie A giants. Earlier this year, Satriano said that he was flattered by the interest from Arsenal and Chelsea but emphasised that he is ‘totally focused’ on the Nerazzurri. It is now reported that City are also interested in the 20-year-old, who could be sold this summer amid the Serie A club’s difficult financial situation. Sportslens view: Satriano ha...

‘’He has to come back’: Everton boss Ancelotti makes Moise Kean declaration
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has spoken out about the future of Moise Kean, suggesting he could be ‘an important player’ next season. Kean joined Everton in the summer of 2019 but failed to make an impression in his debut season. The Italian scored two goals in 33 appearances, though many of his minutes on the pitch came off the bench. Kean then joined Paris Saint-German on a season-long loan last summer, where he has flourished. The 21-year-old has 18 goals in 37 appearances, with three of his goals coming in PSG’s impressive Champions League campaign. Despite impressing with PSG, the French giants do not have an option to buy Kean as part of last summer’s deal. If they want him permanently, they will need to deal with Everton in the coming transfer window. It has been reported that the F...
‘It is never nice’: Takumi Minamino details Liverpool exit ahead of summer decision
Takumi Minamino has explained why he left Liverpool on loan in January, with the Japan international set for a big decision this summer. Minamino joined the Reds last summer with high expectations despite costing a modest £7.25 million. Shining in a team that also housed Borussia Dortmund sensation Erling Braut Haaland, it was expected Minamino would provide adequate cover for Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. However, the forward only managed four goals in 31 appearances and failed to replicate his form in Austria. As a result, Minamino joined Southampton on loan in January and has flourished under Ralph Hasenhuttl, scoring two goals in six games. Minamino has now spoken out about his decision to leave Liverpool temporarily. “It is never nice for a player if you don’t have the game ...

Marcelo Bielsa’s side reportedly want to raid Celtic & Rangers this summer
According to The Athletic’s Phil Hay, Leeds United are looking to sign youth players at Celtic and Rangers this summer as they look to strengthen their academy ahead of next season. The Whites under-23s are a point away from winning Premier League 2 Division Two title, and are preparing for life in the top tier next season. Leeds brought in Joe Gelhardt, Crysencio Summerville, Sam Greenwood and Cody Drameh to their under-23s last summer, and the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union will see Premier League clubs raid Scottish Premiership academies this summer. Rangers and Celtic boast of some of the best youth players in Europe, and the Elland Road outfit will be keen to recruit the best of the bunch. The likes of Billy Gilmour and Kieran Tierney have inspired Scottish Premiership ...
Moyes fan of striker Bielsa tagged ‘one of the best’ as Hammers reportedly eye move
According to Evening Standard, West Ham United manager David Moyes is a fan of Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah, and sees the England youth international as someone who fits his energetic style of play. The Hammers want to sign a new striker this summer after failing to bring in a direct replacement following Sebastien Haller’s move to Ajax in January. Nketiah has emerged as a target, and he is likely to leave Arsenal in the coming months, having struggled for playing opportunities. The 21-year-old has started just three Premier League games this term and has expressed his unhappiness with his situation in north London. West Ham wanted to sign Nketiah in January, but Arsenal refused to listen to offers. That is expected to change after another young striker Folarin Balogun agreed to put pen-t...
Ally McCoist urges Gareth Southgate to pick Manchester United man
Ally McCoist has weighed in on England’s right-back situation, believing that Aaron Wan-Bissaka should be in the squad for this summer’s European Championships. Wan-Bissaka has been a regular for Manchester United this season, starting 29 of their 31 Premier League games and every European fixture. He has contributed to United keeping 19 clean sheets in all competitions and helped his side to second in the Premier League. Wan-Bissaka and Greenwood celebrate at Man Utd defeat Tottenham The former Crystal Palace man is considered one of the world’s finest one-on-one defenders, renowned for his tackling ability. However, his attacking contribution is limited, especially in comparison to other English right-backs. The 23-year-old is yet to receive a cap for the England national team, receiving...

Carlo Ancelotti has issued an injury update ahead of Everton’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and three more players set to miss out. The Toffees are currently attempting to navigate an injury crisis, with numerous players missing in recent weeks. Allan, Andre Gomes, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jordan Pickford, Yerry Mina, Joshua King, Fabian Delph and Bernard have all missed games over the past fortnight.

Sheffield United star ruled out for remainder of the season with foot injury
Sheffield United have been dealt another injury blow this week, with manager Paul Heckingbottom confirming Oli McBurnie will miss the rest of the season. The Blades have had an injury-hit season so far, something which is no doubt a contributing factor in their potential relegation. Paul Heckingbottom’s side are currently bottom of the Premier League and 19 points from safety with just seven games remaining in the campaign. Eight first-team players missed the game with Leeds at the beginning of the month, emphasising the problems the club has had this season.

Trevor Sinclair’s three-word reaction as NUFC star claims Hammers squad isn’t better than Magpies’
Newcastle United host West Ham United on Saturday and both teams will be playing for two different objectives. The Magpies are battling for Premier League safety with just a place and six points between them and the relegation zone. BY contrast, the Hammers are aiming to qualify for the Champions League and can move to third place with a victory. Newcastle finished three places and five points above West Ham in the top-flight last season, but both teams are not on the same level this season. The Hammers made a couple of quality additions to their squad during the summer and winter transfer windows, and that has made all the difference. Manager David Moyes has also got his side playing well and better than they did last term, but the same cannot be said of Newcastle. Steve Bruce is not popu...
‘Massive own goal’ – Luke Edwards reacts as NUFC takeover revelations emerge
According to Sportsmail, Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to intervene in his Kingdom’s plans to buy Newcastle United after it was blocked by the Premier League. Saudi’s Public Investment Fund, PCP Capital Partners owner Amanda Staveley and the Reuben Brothers were looking to seal a £300 million takeover of the St James’ Park outfit a year ago. However, they eventually withdrew from the process after 16 weeks of rigorous Owners and Directors Test. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is still hoping that a deal can be revived as he is determined to sell the club. The businessman is waiting for an arbitration hearing against the Premier League in a bid to have the takeover approved, and the new revelation will be of interest to Magpies support...
