Leeds could look to raid PL giants in January for 22-yr-old in order to cope with injury problems
Leeds United have been linked with a move for the Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori. According to Football Insider, the newly-promoted Premier League club are keeping tabs on the young centre back and they could make a move when the transfer window reopens in January. Leeds United are going through an injury crisis at the back right now and they should look to bring in a defender next month. According to reports, the move for Fikayo Tomori could be a loan deal. The 22-year-old Chelsea defender is highly talented but he needs regular first-team football to fulfil his potential. It is evident that Tomori is unlikely to get regular game time at Stamford Bridge and therefore a loan move away for the remainder of the season could be ideal to his development. The Chelsea defender is yet to start a ...
Ancelotti says one Everton player is ‘really focused’ in training but he won’t play vs Leicester
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that he is impressed with young left-back Niels Nkounkou, but he still cannot include him in the first team due to tactical reasons. With Everton currently without first-choice left-back Lucas Digne through injury, it was expected that Ancelotti would give more opportunities to young Nkounkou. However, the Italian has claimed that he “prefers more experienced players” at the moment. The 20-year-old has not made the Blues’ matchday squad in any of the three games since Digne picked up an ankle injury. The Everton boss has used Ben Godfrey – who is a natural centre-back – in the left-back role against Burnley and Chelsea. Ancelotti has now confirmed that he will continue to use Godfrey for the time being. Ancelotti has said that he is impres...
Predicted Liverpool starting XI: Klopp to make just one change; 23 y/o to start
Liverpool will face Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield in the top-of-the-table clash on Wednesday night, and you can watch this and other Premier League games live online. Kick-off: 20:00 BST Tv Info: The game will be shown live on Amazon Prime. Only goal difference sets two teams apart at the top of the table, and it promises to be a cracking contest. Liverpool are heading into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 1-1 draw against Fulham, and Spurs could punish them badly if they repeat a similar sort of performance. The Reds have won all of their home games this season, but they must nullify the threat of Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min – both have combined for 19 of Spurs’ 24 league goals so far. This is the team we expect Jurgen Klopp to select for the game: Goalkeeper: Al...
Report: Liverpool set for major injury boost later this month
Liverpool signed Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich with high expectations but the Spanish international is yet to make his mark at Anfield. The midfielder made his debut against Chelsea earlier on in the season and he produced an outstanding display against the Blues. Thiago was quite impressive against Everton as well but the Spaniard picked up a serious knee injury against the Toffees and he has been out of action ever since. According to Sunday World, Liverpool are hoping to have him back in the mix for first-team return towards the end of this month. Liverpool have been plagued with injuries this season and the return of Thiago Alcantara will come as a major boost to Jurgen Klopp and the fans. Liverpool have been lacking in craft and imagination at the centre of the park in the absen...
Report: Championship club keen to sign £25m Everton forward in January
According to The Sun, English Championship outfit Middlesbrough are plotting a move for Everton winger Yannick Bolasie ahead of the January transfer window. Boro manager Neil Warnock was keen to bring the 31-year-old to Riverside during the last summer transfer window, but the move fell through on transfer deadline day. Bolasie isn’t in the plans of Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti and wasn’t included in the club’s 25-man Premier League squad. The Italian has told him to leave, and while he has continued to train with the team, an exit is very much on the cards next month. The winger joined Everton from Crystal Palace for £25 million in the summer of 2016, but has only played 32 games since his arrival. An anterior cruciate ligament injury ruled him out of action between December 2016 and Dece...
‘This deal should be done’: Some opposition fans react to latest Leeds transfer rumour
Chelsea fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reactions after reports broke out that Leeds United are interested in signing Fikayo Tomori on loan in January. The Whites are reportedly keeping tabs on the young central defender, and are likely to make a move for him when the transfer window re-opens next month. The 22-year-old – who can play as a central defender or as a right-back – impressed heavily last season under Frank Lampard. He was linked with a move away from the club this summer, but Lampard wanted him to stay and fight for his place. However, the youngster has struggled for regular games this season and has just managed 45 minutes of Premier League action so far. He has dropped down the pecking order at the club, and a loan move away from Stamfo...
Report: Liverpool identify Portuguese as No.1 option to replace Wijnaldum
According to le10sport, Liverpool are keeping tabs on Lille midfielder Renato Sanches and will look to bring him to Anfield next month should Georginio Wijnaldum leave. The Dutchman has around six months left on his current deal with the Reds, and both parties haven’t been able to reach an agreement. Liverpool will lose Wijnaldum for nothing in the summer if he doesn’t sign a new deal, and the English Premier League defending champions could be forced to cash in on him when the January transfer window opens, with Barcelona keen to sign him. They aren’t ruling that option out from the look of things, and it appears that they have a contingency plan in place. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is aware of the quality of the Ligue 1 and he is a fan of Sanches as his style of play appeals to him v...

Leon Osman suggests what Man Utd must be thinking about £21m Everton player
Former Everton midfielder Leon Osman has showered praise on Allan, suggesting other Premier League clubs have missed a trick by not signing him. Allan was one of the midfielders who were available in the market during the summer transfer window. Carlo Ancelotti returned to his former club and secured his signature, paying a handsome £21.7m fee to Napoli. The Brazilian defensive midfielder has quickly settled in at his new club and has formed an excellent partnership alongside another summer signing Abdoulaye Doucoure. Osman has claimed that of all the summer signings made by the club, Allan has impressed him the most. The 29-year-old was outstanding against Spurs on his debut and produced another top-level performance during the 1-0 win against Chelsea last week. Allan has made 11 app...
‘Tremendous movement’: Popular pundit urges Everton to sign 24 y/o ‘good finisher’
Former Liverpool midfielder turned popular football pundit Danny Murphy has suggested that Everton should look to sign Dele Alli from Tottenham Hotspur. The 24-year-old has dropped down the pecking order at Spurs under Jose Mourinho, and he has managed only one Premier League start all season. The England international only made his third Premier League appearance this season last week when he came on as a substitute in the 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. From being a superstar at the club, Alli has become a bit-part player at Spurs, and he has even struggled to manage regular appearances in the Europa League as well. Mourinho is hardly convinced with him, and there are suggestions that Spurs could allow him to leave the club in January on loan. Alli needs to play regular...
Paul Scholes Tips Chelsea Youngster to Become Superstar
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has tipped Chelsea youngster Mason Mount for greatness, comparing him to manager Frank Lampard. Chelsea twice missed the chance to climb to the top of the Premier League, losing back to back fixtures against Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers. This has left them in fifth place, having played more games than any other side in the top nine. The Blues have struggled for creativity in these two outings, finding the net just thanks to an error by Rui Patricio. However, former England midfielder Scholes believes that Mason Mount could be the man to bring that spark if given time. Mount has been given high praise by Paul Scholes Speaking on Amazon Prime after Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat at Molineux (via Football365), Scholes said: “I think the problem that they hav...

The 24-year-old midfielder has started just three Premier League games for Tottenham this season and he is thought to be frustrated.
