PSV Eindhoven and England U21 winger on Leeds United’s radar
According to the Evening Standard, Leeds United are keeping a close eye on PSV Eindhoven star Noni Madueke. The 19-year-old, who is also eligible to play for Nigeria, made his international debut for England in their 2-0 defeat to Portugal in the Euro Under-21 Championship on Sunday. Leeds, alongside Crystal Palace and Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, have “already started putting feelers out” for the London-born attacker. Madueke left Tottenham Hotspur’s academy for the Netherlands aged 16, making his professional debut for PSV a year later. “He’s a powerhouse of a player, technically very good, left-footed and likes to come in off the side of the pitch, off the right and go and link,” said England U21 coach Aidy Boothroyd, speaking to the Evening Standard. Madueke’s debut lasted 72 ...
Kevin Campbell says Arsenal will reject chance to sign Leeds United target
Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell believes the Gunners will snub the option to sign Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt this summer. The north London club were eyeing a back-up option for left-back Kieran Tierney in January after deciding to loan out Sead Kolasinac to Schalke 04. Van Aanholt was mentioned as a potential target before the deadline, but nothing materialised beyond the transfer speculation. The Dutchman’s current deal expires at the end of June and, as things stand, he will be available on a free transfer in a few months. It was recently suggested that Leeds United could rival the Gunners for the 30-year-old, but Campbell feels his former side may look for a younger option. He told Football Insider: “Van Aanholt could be a shrewd signing on a free, but I think the...

Everton reportedly willing to cash in on Colombian to fund Koulibaly move
Everton are willing to sell defender Yerry Mina to fund a move for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, according to Football Insider. The Toffees were linked with a move for Koulibaly last week, which came as a surprise to many Everton fans. With Yerry Mina, Michael Keane, Ben Godfrey and Mason Holgate in the squad, it made little sense for Everton to target a central defender. The Toffees will also have promising youngster Jarrad Branthwaite returning from his loan spell with Blackburn Rovers this summer. However, Football Insider now report that Yerry Mina could be sacrificed to sign Koulibaly due to his erratic nature. They claim that Carlo Ancelotti ‘admires Mina physically’ but privately believes he is ‘too erratic and error-prone for a top-tier side’. As a result, Everton coul...

Liverpool reportedly close to agreeing deal with 25-year-old star, club looking to offload
Liverpool are reportedly close to agreeing a deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adam Traore. The Reds have been following the progress of Traore for a while now, and El Gol Digital claim that Wolves are now ready to offload him in the summer transfer window. The 25-year-old has made 28 appearances in the Premier League this season. However, he hasn’t scored or registered an assist for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.

‘What a player’: Some Liverpool fans drool over ‘world class’ star’s latest display
Liverpool forward Diogo Jota scored a brace for Portugal during their World Cup qualifier against Serbia. However, despite his heroics, he couldn’t help Portugal win, although they should have secured the three points. Cristiano Ronaldo stormed off the pitch after he was denied a last-minute winner. The Juventus forward was absolutely convinced his late strike had crossed the line, which would have earned a 3-2 victory for Portugal. The replays showed he was correct. However, Liverpool fans were drooling over Jota’s performance last night. The 24-year-old joined Liverpool during the summer for £41 million from Wolves, and he’s proved a superb signing for them. The versatile attacking midfielder has scored 10 goals for the Reds in all competitions during 2020/21 despite missing a ...
