‘Bombscare’, ‘Useless’, ‘Needs dropped’ – Some Rangers fans tear into 27-yr-old after 2-2 draw
Rangers were held to a 2-2 draw against Hibernian earlier today. The Scottish giants will be disappointed with their performance in a game they should have won. Drey Wright did well to give the home side the lead on the 22nd minute but Alfredo Morelos scored the equaliser halfway through the game. Scott Arfield’s 57th-minute goal seemed like it could be the winner but a poor defensive showing allowed Hibernian to draw level on the 71st minute. Gerrard will be demanding more from his players in the coming weeks. Rangers have been solid at the back so far this season but today’s display at the back was below par and the player will be expected to bounce back with a good result in their next game. Connor Goldson put in a mediocre display at the back and the fans seem quite disappointed with h...
Harry Kane sends message to Son following Spurs’ victory at St. Mary’s
Tottenham Hotspur secured a 5-2 win over Southampton at the St. Mary’s Stadium today, with Harry Kane and Heung-min Son putting in masterclass performances. The England international provided four assists for his South Korean teammate before grabbing Spurs’ fifth goal, and boss Jose Mourinho will hope they can keep combining to such a devastating effect going forward. It was the first time that Kane had registered four assists in a game, and it’s a great feat for someone who assisted just twice during the whole of 2019-20. Son was also scoring more than two goals in a Premier League game for Tottenham for the first time, and he has the brilliant Kane to thank for his four strikes. The winger attempted just four shots against Southampton, and he scored from each of his attempts to help Spur...
Mourinho’s five-word reaction on Instagram after Spurs’ win over Southampton
Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho has taken to Instagram to react following his side’s first Premier League win of the 2020-21 campaign. Spurs suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of Everton in the season’s opener last weekend but bounced back with an emphatic 5-2 victory over Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium. Tottenham put in a top performance in the second-half following a 1-1 draw heading into the break, with Heung-min Son scoring four goals. Harry Kane scored Spurs’ last goal of the game having assisted all of the first four goals, and Mourinho took to Instagram to react thus to the result: Spurs face Leyton Orient on Tuesday in the third round of the EFL Cup before travelling to Macedonia to face KF Shkendija in the third qualifying round of the Europa League on Thursday. They return ...
Gareth Bale reacts to Tottenham Hotspur’s win against Southampton
Tottenham Hotspur’s new number 9 Gareth Bale appears to have been impressed with his side’s 5-2 win over Southampton at the St. Mary’s Stadium. Spurs came from a goal down to secure their first Premier League victory of the 2020-21 season, with Son Heung-min grabbing four goals while Harry Kane scored the fifth after assisting all of his teammate’s goals. It was a very impressive performance from Tottenham, and Bale was pleased with what he saw, taking to Instagram to react thus: The Wales international was announced by Tottenham yesterday, and he has returned to N17 from Real Madrid seven years after he left for a then world-record £85 million. Spurs’ attack was on fire today, with the duo of Kane and Son tormenting the Saints’ defence, and adding Bale to that team is huge. Having that tr...
Report: Leeds want £20m Hammers target who had 9 goals & 7 assists last term
According to The Daily Telegraph, Leeds United are keeping tabs on Atalanta midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi as they look to strengthen head coach Marcelo Bielsa’s options in the middle of the park. The Whites have been linked with Udinese midfielder Rodrigo De Paul upon returning to the English Premier League, but agreeing a fee for the Argentine is proving herculean with the Italian outfit holding out for £35 million. Malinovskyi is valued at around £20 million and has also been linked with West Ham United. The 27-year-old attacking midfielder ended last season with nine goals and seven assists in 44 games across all competitions, and he could be a fine signing for Leeds. Whites boss Bielsa wants quality competition and cover for Spanish veteran Pablo Hernandez, and the Ukrainian fits the b...
Report: Leeds United win race for player
According to La Repubblica, Leeds United have won the race for Udinese attacking player Rodrigo De Paul. It has been reported by the Italian publication that despite interest from other clubs, it is Leeds – who are playing in the Premier League this season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship at the end of the 2019-20 campaign – who have won the race for the 26-year-old, who can play as an attacking midfielder or as a winger. Would Rodrigo De Paul be a good signing for Leeds United? Pablo Hernandez is the main creator at Leeds, and the former Valencia and Swansea City remains a player at the top of his game. However, Hernandez is not getting any younger, and the Spaniard needs support as the season progresses. De Paul is a very good and creative player who will make Leed...
Report: West Ham leading the chase for 28-yr-old, but face competition from Newcastle
West Ham United are interested in signing the Monaco defender Djibril Sidibe this summer. The defender was on loan at Everton last year and he was a decent option for the Merseyside outfit. It will be interesting to see if the Hammers can agree on a deal to sign the 28-year-old. According to reports from 90min, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United are keen on the player as well but West Ham are currently leading the chase. Apparently Monaco are open to loaning the player out once again but they will demand a permanent deal to be included as part of the move. Everton had an option to sign the player at the end of his loan spell but they decided to turn down the opportunity. West Ham need to improve their defensive options this summer and it will be interesting to see if they can bri...
Report: Celtic could return for 27-yr-old, they have tried to sign him previously
Celtic have been linked with a move for the Sampdoria defender Omar Colley this summer. According to reports (h/t Sportwitness), the Scottish champions could return for the centre back with an offer soon. Kristoffer Ajer has been linked with a move away from Celtic this summer and if the Norwegian defender decides to move on, Colley could be a decent replacement. According to reports, Celtic tabled an offer of around €10-12 million for the defender previously but Sampdoria were not keen on selling the 27-year-old for that amount. It will be interesting to see if Celtic can agree on a deal with the Italian outfit for Colley. The Hoops have already signed Shane Duffy from Brighton to improve their defence and Colley could prove to be another wise investment. Celtic have done well in the leag...
Report: Leeds will have to pay €15m for midfielder, talks underway with his camp
Leeds United have been linked with a move for the Toulouse midfielder Manu Kone. The 19-year-old is highly rated in France and he could prove to be a superb long term investment for the Premier League side. According to reports (h/t Sportwitness), Leeds United have already started talks with the midfielders entourage and it will be interesting to see if they follow it up with a concrete offer now. Apparently the midfielder is valued at €15 million and a club with Leeds United resources should be able to pay that if they are truly keen on signing the player. The 19-year-old is a versatile midfielder who can play multiple roles and Marcelo Bielsa could coach him into a very useful player for Leeds United. The Whites have done well to improve the young players at their disposal and Kony could...
Man Utd hero urges the club to upgrade on 24-yr-old if they want to win the title
Manchester United lost their Premier League opener 3-1 to Crystal Palace earlier today and former star Teddy Sheringham believes that the Red Devils need to invest in a quality striker. He said that Manchester United will not win the title with Anthony Martial as their number nine. The 24-year-old Frenchman was outstanding for United last season and Sheringham’s assessment seems a bit harsh. Martial has the talent to develop into a top-class striker and he is still quite young. If he can continue to improve, he could certainly become one of the best strikers in the league soon. Martial scored 23 goals in all competitions last season. Speaking to the Mirror, Sheringham said: “Manchester United won’t win the title with Anthony Martial as their number nine. When you’re playing ...
‘Best player in the league’, ‘Forever reliable’ – Some Celtic fans react to 27-yr-old’s display
Celtic picked up a thrilling 3-2 win over Livingston in the Scottish Premiership earlier and Callum McGregor put in a fantastic display for the home side. The 27-year-old midfielder scored a stunning goal and he helped Celtic dominate the game as well. He also played a part in Ryan Christie’s goal. Arguably the best player on the pitch, McGregor will be hoping to build on this performance in the coming weeks. Celtic are now level on points with Rangers at the top of the table and they will be looking to pull clear of their bitter rivals in the coming weeks. The Hoops are aiming for their tenth title in a row and they will have to improve at the back if they want to win the title this year. Celtic have been bailed out by their attack a few times already and they Lennon needs to fix his team...
Report: Jose Mourinho wants to bring a Manchester United player to Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Jesse Lingard from Premier League rivals Manchester United in the summer transfer window, according to The Daily Star. It has been reported that Tottenham want to sign Lingard in a £30 million deal, with head coach Jose Mourinho having worked with the England international when he was in charge of United. The 27-year-old, who can play as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, has struggled for playing time at United in recent months, and Mourinho believes that he can get the Englishman to his best, according to the report. Would Jesse Lingard be a good signing for Tottenham Hotspur? Lingard has been at United his entire professional club football career so far, and while he has done well in parts, he has not been a massive success. The fact that...
