Malang Sarr has been a Chelsea player for more than 18 months and is still yet to make an appearance. Despite featuring heavily for Chelsea in pre-season, the 22-year-old finds himself low down the pecking order under Thomas Tuchel this campaign and may have an uncertain future already. Newcastle United tried to sign Sarr in August while Everton were also interested in the 5ft 10in French U21 international, but no deal materialised. Sarr’s agent even tried to broker a move away from Stamford Bridge before the summer transfer window shut, so it remains to be seen if he has a long-term future in West London. Chelsea signed Sarr on a free transfer from OGC Nice in August 2020, but he was loaned out to FC Porto (October 2020 – June 2021) just days after his arrival and is now waiting in the wi...
James Rodriguez was seen as quite a coup when he first joined Everton, but the 30-year-old now has an uncertain future at Goodison Park after an eventful summer – James followed Carlo Ancelotti to Everton last season but saw his ex-Real Madrid manager return to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer. The Colombian international told ESPN in April that Ancelotti was the only reason he joined the Toffees, so things were up in the air following his departure in June. Everton even tried to sell James before the summer transfer window shut, but the player blocked a move to Istanbul Basaksehir – the Super Lig club sit second from bottom in the table without a point from their first three games this season. James may have been open to a move away from Everton if it was a step up than step down, but he...
Liverpool are eyeing a shock swoop for RB Salzburg star Karim Adeyemi according to a report from Sport Bild. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp will undoubtedly be keen to bolster his attacking options either in January or next summer. Liverpool trio Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are all set to turn 30 this season. And it seems as though Klopp may well have his eye on someone who could be ideal for the job. Jurgen Klopp is allegedly eyeing a move to sign Karim Adeyemi – Copyright: xMikexEgertonx 62000604 Liverpool eyeing Karim Adeyemi swoop Klopp wants to bring the young Germany international to Anfield according to Sport Bild.

Everton may well regret missing out to Aston Villa on signing Danny Ings. The 29-year-old joined Aston Villa from Southampton in August for around £25 million (BBC). Before the striker moved to Villa Park, however, Everton boss Rafa Benitez wanted to bring him to Goodison Park according to The Sunday Mirror (May 16th, page 73). The Toffees have made a fine start to their 2021/22 Premier League campaign but they are over reliant on Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Everton may well regret missing out on Danny Ings to Aston Villa – PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxUK ActionPlus12314321 JohnxPatrickxFletcher Should the 24-year-old suffer a serious injury, Everton have nobody in reserve as far as out and out strikers are concerned.

England were held to a 1-1 draw against Poland in the World Cup qualifiers last night and captain Harry Kane scored a spectacular long-range goal to give his side the lead in the second half. The England striker found the net from the long-range with a powerful drive and the former Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny was comfortably beaten. The Three Lions will be bitterly disappointed to have dropped two points after conceding a goal in the 92nd minute of the game from Damian Szymanski. Kane has been criticised in recent months for his mediocre performances at the international level but the Tottenham Hotspur striker showed that he is a match-winner and he has the ability to change the course of a game at any given moment. Former England internationals Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer heaped pr...
Arsenal are eyeing up a move to sign Sevilla hitman Youssef En-Nesyri according to an exclusive report from La Colina de Nervion. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is allegedly eyeing up potential replacements for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabonese hitman has been in poor form since signing a new deal with Arsenal last season. And it seems as though Arteta has his eye on someone who he thinks will actually be an upgrade on the 32-year-old.

England will take on Poland in the World Cup qualifiers later today and the Three Lions will fancy their chances of picking up all three points. Gareth Southgate’s men have an excellent head to head record against today’s opposition and they are unbeaten in their last six meetings with Poland. Meanwhile, England have won all five qualifiers so far having conceded just once and they will be firm favourites heading into this contest. Poland are coming into this game on the back of two heavy wins over Albania and San Marino but England are a far better opposition and they will have to be at their best to grind out a positive result. The Three Lions have kept a clean sheet in their last two matches against Hungary and Andorra and they will be hoping for more of the same here. That said, Poland...
Robin Koch ended up joining Leeds rather than Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2020. Perhaps the 25-year-old is now wishing that he had joined Tottenham rather than Leeds, however. The German has endured a tough time at Elland Road. He is currently out injured and has made just 18 appearances for Marcelo Bielsa’s side. Robin Koch in action for Leeds – Copyright: xMartinxRickettx 61671313 Koch joined the Whites from Freiburg in the summer of 2020 for around £20 million. The west Yorkshire outfit beat Spurs to his signature (The Sun). The German has had some real shockers for Leeds, however. He is by far an automatic selection in Bielsa’s starting XI. Things could have been very different had he joined Spurs instead. Will Koch regret choosing Leeds over Tottenham? Spurs look like a very go...
Portugal picked up a 3-0 win over Azerbaijan in the World Cup qualifiers last night and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota put on a splendid display for his country. The 24-year-old has started the season in excellent form for club and country and he chipped in with a goal and assist against Azerbaijan. Jota caused all sorts of problems for Azerbaijan with his clever link-up play and runs into the box. The Portuguese international worked hard and created chances for his teammates with his flair and movement as well. The Liverpool attacker has scored in two of their three Premier League games so far as well and fans will be hoping for more of the same when the Reds take on Leeds United this weekend. Brazilian attacker Roberto Firmino is currently sidelined with an injury and the Portuguese intern...
Bayern Munich striker Joshua Zirkzee suggested that he had the option to join Everton four years ago when speaking exclusively to HLN. The 20-year-old is a huge talent. He joined Bayern in the summer of 2017 from Feyenoord for just £140k. It seems as though Everton wanted to sign him as well, however. Zirkzee is currently on loan with Belgian side Anderlecht. He has made a fine start to the season with two goals in three league games to his name so far.

Fabio Paratici is being backed to get AC Milan ace Franck Kessie signed up for Tottenham on a free transfer next summer according to a report from Milan News. And if the Spurs Director of Football manages to do just that, he will prove his weight in gold. Nuno Espirito Santo clearly wants to bolster his central midfield ranks at Tottenham.
