SL View: LUFC have sent telling message to Southgate following Bamford’s Euros snub
Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford scored 17 Premier League goals and made seven assists in 38 games in 2020-21. Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane was the only English forward involved in more goals than the 27-year-old, but his impressive campaign was not enough for England manager Gareth Southgate. The Three Lions boss has named his 33-man provisional list for the European Championship and Bamford has missed out. Kane, Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood and Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin made the list ahead of the Leeds star, and he would have been left gutted with Southgate’s decision. The Elland Road outfit are also not pleased with seeing their striker fail to make the provisional squad, taking to Twitter to react by posting a reel of all his top-flight g...

The 25-year-old missed 12 Premier League games this season due to injury, recently returning to full fitness and action.

‘He’ll always be family’ – Klopp sends emotional message to departing Liverpool star
Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum is leaving Anfield after five years, and the Netherlands international is expected to join a club outside the Premier League as a free agent. The 30-year-old joined the Reds from Newcastle United in the summer of 2016, and he played a huge role in helping the team win the Champions League and Premier League. Wijnaldum featured in 236 games across all competitions for Liverpool, scoring 22 times. The box-to-box powerhouse was a key cog in manager Jurgen Klopp’s midfield, and replacing him could prove to be a daunting task. The German will miss Wijnaldum’s impact, reacting thus to his imminent departure ahead of yesterday’s Premier League clash against Crystal Palace: 1/2 Jurgen Klopp fulsome in his praise of Gini Wijnaldum in programme notes: “Gini W...
‘If an opportunity arrives’ – Director says €40m man who said ‘yes’ to Leeds move could leave
Udinese director Pierpaolo Marino has admitted that Argentine midfielder and Leeds United target Rodrigo De Paul is likely to leave the Serie A outfit this summer. The 26-year-old is also wanted by Italian clubs Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan, Roma and Napoli, and more suitors could emerge for his signature in the summer. Leeds wanted De Paul last summer, and the player was also keen on a move, dropping a huge hint on social media by saying “yes” to an Elland Road move. Udinese’s €40 million asking price proved too steep for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, but it appears that the club could finally allow him to leave should he insist on it. “Obviously, he is a player whose name is on everyone’s lips,” Marino told DAZN (via football.italia). “We have the desire and strength to keep him, but if an o...
Man Utd stars reportedly want Villa star signed ahead of £75m man
Manchester United players are hoping to convince manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to sign Aston Villa attacking midfielder Jack Grealish this summer, according to The Telegraph. However, the Norwegian is keen on Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho instead and is looking to revive his interest in the England international after missing out on him last summer. Man Utd stars who have faced Grealish or played with him at England consider him an appealing summer signing. Both players are valued at around £75 million, and they do have admirers at Old Trafford as the club look to bolster their squad to mount a strong title challenge next term. Grealish is also on the radar of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, and the Spaniard regards him as one of the best players in the Premier League. The Villa s...
Ancelotti reportedly had to separate Everton duo after Man City game following scuffle
According to The Daily Mirror, Everton forward Richarlison and Mason Holgate had to be separated as Manchester City celebrated following yesterday’s 5-0 thrashing at the Etihad Stadium, with the former pulled off by an irate Carlo Ancelotti. The Toffees were poor from start to finish against the Premier League champions, with Gylfi Sigurdsson’s missed penalty when they were 2-0 down compounding their woes. Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus put Man City ahead 15 minutes into the game, and Everton had the chance to halve the deficit when Ruben Dias brought down Richarlison 10 minutes away from the break. However, Sigurdsson’s attempt was saved by Ederson, and Phil Foden punished the visitors for it eight minutes into the restart with the hosts’ third of the evening. Sergio Aguero came off th...

Compte tenu de la situation économique, le Celtic Glasgow pourrait carrément le libérer.

Newcastle United will be playing in the Premier League again next season after finishing the 2020-21 campaign in 12th place.

The 27-year-old reportedly wants to leave at the end of the campaign as he eyes silverware and regular Champions League football, and Spurs qualifying for the inaugural Europa League conference and winning the Golden Boot would not have changed his mind.
