‘I regard that as an honour’: Celtic-linked 123-cap international responds to the interest in him
Chilean international Claudio Bravo has been linked with a move to Celtic among other clubs this summer. The 37-year-old has now responded to the interest from Celtic and others claiming that it is an honour for him. He also added that the teams linked with him are big clubs and he is proud. The 123-cap Chilean international said (quotes via Daily Record): “There is nowhere in the world I would not consider playing.

Report: Tottenham keen on 23-yr-old German, but face competition from Dortmund
Tottenham are interested in signing the Freiburg defender Robin Koch this summer. As per Bild (via GGFN), the Londoners have been monitoring the Germany international for a while now. It will be interesting to see if they make an offer for the player in the coming weeks. Koch could be a decent defensive addition to Jose Mourinho’s side. The Premier League side need more depth at the back and the 23-year-old would be ideal. The player was a target for RB Leipzig in January and the German side failed to sign him despite offering €15 million. It will be interesting to see how much Freiburg demand for his services now. Dortmund are thought to be keen on the player as well and Spurs might have to move quickly if they want to sign the player. They cannot afford to be involved in a bidding w...

Phil Hay: Leeds in advanced talks to sign midfielder from Crystal Palace
According to The Athletic’s Phil Hay, Leeds United are in advanced talks to sign young midfielder Jadan Raymond from Crystal Palace after he rejected a professional contract at the Selhurst Park outfit. The 16-year-old is also wanted by Portuguese top-flight side Vitoria Guimaraes and has been guaranteed regular training with their first team and an immediate move into their B team. Raymond wants a clear pathway into first-team football, and Marcelo Bielsa offers that at Elland Road, with seven under-23 players named in his matchday squad that faced Cardiff City last Sunday. Ian Poveda and Robbie Gotts, both 20, were handed their league debuts in the second-half and the Palace midfielder could be tempted to choose Leeds ahead of Vitoria Guimaraes. Raymond has been with the Eagles since he ...
‘Unreal’, ‘Phenomenal’, ‘World class’ – Some Newcastle fans react to 23-yr-old’s display vs Villa
Newcastle were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Aston Villa yesterday. Steve Bruce’s side will be disappointed to have dropped two points at home. They could have won the game but Elomohamady scored a late equaliser for the visitors. Dwight Gayle had given the home side the lead on the 68th minute but the Magpies failed to hold on to their advantage. The win leaves Newcastle 13th in the table with 39 points and they will fancy their chances of breaking into the top half before the end of the season. Steve Bruce has done a good job so far and he will want to finish the season strongly. Newcastle have looked impressive since the resumption of the Premier League. Allan Saint-Maximin put on another impressive display for the home side. The 23-year-old has been integral to Newcastle’s attack since...
When can Liverpool win the Premier League?
Liverpool moved to within touching distance of their first title in 30 years after beating Crystal Palace 4-0 at Anfield on Wednesday night. Goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, Fabinho and Sadio Mane sealed all three points for the home side. With that, Liverpool need just one more win to guarantee a first top-flight title triumph since 1990. The players and the fans can now feel that they are close to reaching the promised land. “Two points to go to win the league, it’s great,” Salah told Sky Sports. “Since I came here I said I want to win the Premier League. The city did not win it for a long time. “Last year we had a chance but Man City also played really well and deserved it. It’s our time to win the league.” However, the Reds can wrap up the title even before that. ...
‘It’s the type of injury that worries me’ – Former star reacts to Tottenham ace’s injury
Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga recently picked up a stress fracture in his back. The 21-year-old has established himself as an important member of the first-team squad already and Michael Brown claims that his recent injury is a worry. Brown has urged Tottenham to be extra careful with his recovery. It will be interesting to see if Tanganga returns to action again this season. Ideally, Spurs should look to have him fit and ready for the next season. Tanganga could be integral to Mourinho’s defence next year. With Vertonghen leaving, he is likely to get more chances to showcase his talent. Brown has hailed the youngster as an exciting prospect and he also claimed that Tanganga can play multiple roles. Speaking to Football Insider, the former Tottenham man said: “He’s a man of many ...
‘Don’t think it is going to happen’: Chris Sutton makes a big claim about 23-yr-old’s Newcastle future
Popular pundit Chris Sutton has revealed that Joelinton might not have a long term future at Newcastle United. According to him, the striker has not done enough to justify the outlay on him so far and once the new owners come in, they could look to cash in on the former Bundesliga man. Sutton said (quotes via Express): “I still don’t think it is going to happen for Joelinton. He scored one in four in Germany, he did a similar sort of ratio in Austria and then had one good season at Hoffenheim. “The money has been a massive burden for him. Steve Bruce has given him a kick as well, saying he isn’t a natural finisher. It doesn’t help when your manager is putting the boot in. “I don’t see him having a long-term future at Newcastle. If there’s a takeover, I think he will be surplus to requireme...
Report: Tottenham linked with a summer move for £19m midfield powerhouse
Tottenham are being linked with a move for the Roma midfielder Amadou Diawara this summer. As per Corriere dello Sport (via Sportwitness), the Premier League side are keen on signing the defensive midfielder. The report adds that the midfielder has other suitors in England as well. It will be interesting to see if Spurs submit an offer for the midfielder in the coming weeks. Diawara joined Roma last summer and it seems unlikely that they will cash in on the player just yet. Although the 22-year-old has seen limited game time at his new club this season, he is still quite talented and Roma should keep faith in him. Diawara has had some injury issues this season and he could make a significant impact next year if he manages to stay fit. In theory, he would be a superb addition to Mourin...
