Club director hints at Spurs interest in 26-yr-old, Londoners have offered a contract until 2025
Tottenham have been linked with the RB Leipzig midfielder Marcel Sabitzer recently and the German club have now hinted that the Premier League side’s interest in the 26-year-old is genuine. According to Standard Sport, a move for Marcel Sabitzer would depend on Dele Alli’s future at Tottenham. The 24-year-old England international has fallen down the pecking order at the London club and he has been linked with a move away from Tottenham in January. If Alli decides to move on, Sabitzer could prove to be a superb alternative. When asked about Tottenham’s interest in the player, RB Leipzig’s sporting director Markus Krosche said: “As I said, he has made a great development. It goes without saying that other clubs also notice this.” The 26-year-old midfielder will add defensive cover, drive an...
Journalist claims Liverpool are ‘very interested’ in signing 23-yr-old Brazilian
Liverpool are apparently very interested in signing the Torino defender Gleison Bremer. The 23 year old Brazilian has done an excellent job in Italy and he could prove to be a quality addition to Jurgen Klopp’s defensive unit. Liverpool are currently going through an injury crisis and the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez have been ruled out for several months. The likes of Joel Matip have been injury-prone and therefore the Reds have had to rely on academy prospects like Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips to bail them out at the back quite often. The Torino centre back will certainly add more depth and quality to the Liverpool back four. He’s an excellent reader of the game and is strong in tackles. Furthermore, his no-nonsense style of defending could help the Reds grind out result...
Manchester United Join Race For Arsenal and Tottenham Target
Manchester United are ready to make a move for Norwich City defender Max Aarons, according to the Express. Despite Norwich’s relegation last season, Aarons emerged as one of the brightest young talents in the league, attracting the attention of some of the world’s biggest clubs. Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal were among the clubs reportedly eyeing up the Englishman. Aarons has impressed at Norwich Nonetheless, Aarons stayed put at Carrow Road, as no one was willing to pay his alleged £30m asking price. He has since continued to impress, helping guide Norwich to the top of the Championship after 22 games. The Express claim that Manchester United have identified the 20-year-old as a target in the upcoming January transfer window to provide competition for former Cry...
Report: PSG to back Pochettino’s move for £50m EPL star after Spurs failed to
According to The Sun, erstwhile manager Mauricio Pochettino is expected to take over at Paris Saint-Germain following the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel, and he will be given a huge war chest to spend straightaway. As a result, Crystal Palace fear that the Argentine will come calling again for the services of Wilfried Zaha after failing with several bids during his time at North London. Pochettino was keen to bolster his attack with the addition of the Ivory Coast international, but chairman Daniel Levy didn’t back him enough in the transfer market due to Palace’s asking price. Pochettino was left frustrated last July, claiming his job title should be changed from manager to head coach as he had no influence over Tottenham’s transfer activity. However, that is expected to change at PSG and he ...
Premier League reject calls for circuit breaker amid Covid-19 fears
The year 2020 has been dominated by Covid-19. Many families have been separated and sadly many lives have been lost. The world has changed drastically. However, in these unprecedented times, the medium of football has brought a sense of normality and comfort in people’s lives. But now, with matches being postponed and cases increasing daily, many clubs believe a circuit breaker is the right option for the safety of the players. However, the Premier League has stated that the show must go on and rejected such calls for a break. But are they putting the players’ welfare at stake by doing so? “I’m 66 and the last thing I need is to catch Covid, probably players will overcome it. But it’s more difficult for someone like me. So I’m very concerned for myself and football in general.” West Brom m...
Mourinho’s 15-word reaction to uncertainty surrounding Spurs v Fulham clash
Tottenham Hotspur host Fulham this evening and will look to bounce back from weekend’s disappointing draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Spurs are without a win in four Premier League games, losing twice and drawing twice, and that has seen them drop from first place to seventh. They are now six points off leaders Liverpool and will be keen to pick up all three points against a Fulham side that have won just twice in the league campaign this term. Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho and his players are ready for the game, but it remains to be seen if it will still go ahead. There has been a Covid-19 outbreak at the west London club, and that has put the fixture in doubt. According to The Athletic, a number of people at the club have tested positive to the coronavirus, with manager Scott Parker missi...
Report: Wolves plotting January move for Arsenal-linked £270k-a-wk striker
According to The Sun, Wolverhampton Wanderers are keen on signing Spanish striker Diego Costa when the winter transfer window opens in January. The 32-year-old is a free agent after Atletico Madrid mutually terminated his contract yesterday, and he isn’t short of suitors ahead of next month’s window. Costa has plenty of interest from clubs back home in South America, the Middle and Far East, while Arsenal have also been linked with an interest as manager Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his striking options next month. The Brazil-born hitman won two Premier League titles with Chelsea, scoring 52 goals in 89 English top-flight games, and Wolves are contemplating whether to bring him back to England. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side could be without Mexican striker Raul Jimenez for a large chunk of t...
‘Delete tweet’ – Rio Ferdinand disagrees with Leeds’ post as Radrizzani takes responsibility
Leeds United have hit back at Amazon Prime pundit Karen Carney after she claimed that they only got promoted to the English Premier League at the end of last season because of the coronavirus. The Elland Road outfit returned to the top-flight for the first time since 2004 after winning the 2019-20 English Championship campaign, and Carney insists that the pandemic-enforced break helped them get over the line. Leeds came close to sealing promotion in 2018-19, starting the campaign on an impressive note in what was head coach Marcelo Bielsa’s first season in charge. However, the Yorkshire giants ran out of steam and failed to advance in the play-offs, with many blaming the Argentine’s demanding style of play for the club’s inability to sustain their promotion bid at the end of the season. Le...

Predicted Arsenal starting XI: Arteta to make two changes, 28 y/o dropped
Arsenal will travel to Amex Stadium to face Brighton on Tuesday night, and you can watch this and other Premier League games live online. The Gunners finally returned to winning ways after beating Chelsea 3-1 in the London derby on Saturday. Mikel Arteta will hope that the result will spring new life into their campaign as they look to get themselves out of the present mire. With games coming thick and fast, the Spaniard needs to rotate to keep his squad fresh. At the same time, he would be wary of making too many changes to the side that earned them their first Premier League win after seven games. This is the team we expect Arteta to use against Brighton: Goalkeeper: Bernd Leno – who saved Jorginho’s penalty against Chelsea in the last match – should keep h...
Arsenal interested in signing Diego Costa on a free transfer
Arsenal are interested in signing Diego Costa on a free transfer, according to Spanish media outlet AS. The Atletico Madrid striker has six months remaining on his deal but has requested the club to terminate his contract with immediate effect so that he can take care of some family problems. He was absent from the Spanish club’s training session on Monday as he looks increasingly certain to leave the club in January. In January, Costa would be free to speak with clubs regarding a free transfer in the summer if Atletico refused to cancel his contract. The club are aware of this and are open to letting him leave the club next month as long as he does not join a direct rival. It would also allow them to get his wages off their books and look to sign a new striker. They were linke...
