Bukayo Saka’s astonishing market value released
It has been an underwhelming season for Arsenal, who sit ninth in the table, six points adrift of Tottenham Hotspur in sixth and nine points off fourth-placed Chelsea. The Gunners faithful have had little to cheer about this season, but one of the few things has been the recently released market value of Bukayo Saka. The 19-year-old cemented his place with the north London outfit just before the first lockdown in March last year. Since then, the Englishman has not looked back. He has been the lynchpin to the few good moments that Arsenal have shown their fans. Despite being just a teenager, the youngster is one of Arsenal’s biggest threats. And nothing proves that quite like the recent release of his transfer value. Emile Smith Rowe: “We’re definitely going in the right direction. With the...
Reguilon reportedly wants to leave Spurs this summer for European giants
According to El Gol Digitial (via teamtalk), Tottenham Hotspur left-back Sergio Reguilon wants to leave the North London club this summer, with a return to Sevilla on his mind. The Spain international spent last season on loan at the La Liga giants, helping them win the Europa League and they will look to bring him back should they fail to land Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso. Sportslens View Real Madrid decided to cash in on him when Spurs came calling last summer, and while he has been impressive for Jose Mourinho’s side since joining, the doubts surrounding the future of the Portuguese could see the full-back decide to leave after just a season. Missing out on European football could deal a blow on Tottenham’s chances of retaining the services of some of their best players, and that could also ...
Abidal reveals why Barca decided against signing man despite his Spurs exploits
Tottenham Hotspur parted ways with Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino in November 2019 following a woeful start to the season that left the club in 14th in the Premier League table before his departure. The 49-year-old has since become the boss of French giants Paris Saint-Germain, succeeding Thomas Tuchel at the Parc des Princes in January 2021. However, he was linked with becoming Barcelona boss just after he left Spurs, but his links with Espanyol and a joke he had made while he was at Tottenham about preferring to work on a farm in Argentina than manage the Catalans did not do him any favours with the Josep Bartomeu-led board. Erstwhile Barcelona director of football Eric Abidal has revealed that Pochettino was his most preferred candidate to replace Ernesto Valverde who was sacked ...
Arsenal confirm star duo will play just one game each during the international break
15 Arsenal players will be in action over the international break this month, and manager Mikel Arteta will be hoping to have them all return without any fitness issues for the campaign run-in. Premier League action resumes on April 3, with the Gunners hosting Liverpool before welcoming Slavia Prague five days later in the first-leg of the Europa League quarter-finals. Advancing to the semi-finals will further boost Arsenal’s chances of winning the competition and playing Champions League football next term, and Arteta needs his key players to be fully fit in the coming weeks. The Gunners boss will be very wary of the international break curse, but he has been handed a boost with two of his star players only playing once during the break. Gabon has called up their skipper Pierre-Emerick Au...

‘Here comes trouble’ – Robbie Fowler reacts to what agent of Liverpool star has done
Liverpool lost to Chelsea at Anfield on Thursday, suffering a fifth consecutive Premier League defeat at home for the first-ever time. Mason Mount’s 42nd-minute goal made all the difference, and Jurgen Klopp’s men could not find a way back into the game in the second half. The German manager was forced to withdraw Mohamed Salah with 28 minutes left as the Egyptian appeared too tired to help out with the defensive duties on his flank. The Liverpool forward was not particularly pleased with the decision, shaking his head as he walked off the pitch, and his agent’s post on Twitter right after the incident did not help matters. . — Ramy Abbas Issa (@RamyCol) March 4, 2021 It is unknown whether the cryptic post has anything to do with Klopp’s decision to withdraw Salah early in the game, but it...
Roy Keane reacts to Rangers winning the Premiership, sends message to Celtic
Rangers are the Scottish Premiership winners for the 2020-21 season after Celtic were held to a goalless draw by Dundee United today. The Light Blues stopped the Hoops from winning a 10th consecutive title in impressive style, going unbeaten since the start of the campaign and landing the league’s coveted prize with six games to spare. Celtic will hope to bounce back next year, and they have to get the perfect manager to succeed Neil Lennon to have a chance of stopping their Old Firm rivals. Rangers boss Steven Gerrard will also be more than keen to defend his side’s first title in a decade, and plenty of fireworks can be expected next term. Premier League legend Roy Keane was asked for any words of celebration for the Ibrox outfit, and he took the opportunity to send a message to the Park...
‘NUFC could actually win the title in four years’ – Harry Redknapp comments on Magpies’ potential
Newcastle United are looking to secure a victory against West Bromwich Albion today in order to boost their survival chances, and they could go six points clear of the relegation zone with a win and should Fulham lose to Liverpool. Magpies head coach Steve Bruce is under a lot of pressure, and the leak of a fallout with Matt Ritchie during training on Tuesday has not helped his unpopularity with the fans. Not even leading Newcastle to safety would change how the club’s faithful view him, and chairman and owner Mike Ashley cannot wait to sell the club himself. The businessman will hope that the Premier League finally approves the £300 million takeover bid by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, and a lot of people believe the St. James’ Park outfit would start challenging for silverware a...
How 50y/o reportedly feels about story claiming NUFC players want him to replace Bruce
The Daily Mail claimed last night that several Newcastle United players want assistant head coach Graeme Jones to immediately take over from boss Steve Bruce until the end of the season, believing he represents their best chance of avoiding the drop. It was reported that there is growing resentment towards the Magpies head coach in the dressing room, and that the players no longer trust and like him, with a training ground bust-up between him and Matt Ritchie on Tuesday fuelling the fire. However, the latest reports coming from The Telegraph have poured cold water on those claims, and Newcastle players are said to have contacted club officials to deny they wanted Bruce to be sacked. Some have also contacted the Newcastle boss directly, and they have dismissed the idea that they all want Jo...
‘He was furious & livid with me’ – Journalist shares how NUFC chief reacted to recent leak
Newcastle United goalkeeper Karl Darlow was dropped from the starting line-up for last weekend’s clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers, but the news leaked last Tuesday – four days before the game – and it got the Englishman angry.

The Telegraph’s Luke Edwards – a close friend of the Newcastle boss – who reported the story has revealed that Bruce was not his source, claiming that he was furious and livid with him for writing...
