‘Going to be a superstar’ – Some Celtic fans are in awe of defender’s display in 1-0 win
Celtic are though to the final playoff round of Europa League qualifying after a 1-0 win over Riga earlier tonight. Elyounoussi scored the only goal of the game on the 90th minute to secure a vital win for Neil Lennon’s side. The Scottish champions will be slightly disappointed with their flat performance tonight and they should have won the game more comfortably. Lennon will be demanding a lot more from his players in the coming weeks. It will be interesting to see if Celtic can improve their performance in their next game. They will be hoping to challenge on all fronts this season and they must look to add more consistency to their game. Jeremie Frimpong was the super-sub for Celtic tonight and the youngster’s pace and flair made all the difference for the Hoops in a tight game. He ...
Fabrizio Romano: Man Utd in talks for 27-yr-old, player’s camp confident about move
Manchester United remain locked in talks to sign Alex Telles from Porto this summer. The 27-year-old would be an upgrade on Luke Shaw if he moves to Old Trafford. Shaw has failed to live up to the expectations at Manchester United and he needs more competition. Telles is a more complete full-back and he would add a new dimension to the United attack going forward as well. Telles is at the peak of his career and he could make an immediate impact at Manchester United if he joins them. He has the tools to succeed in English football and the Brazilian will be tempted to get the move sorted soon. As per Fabrizio Romano, the player’s camp are confident that an agreement will be reached between the two clubs soon. The deal could be worth around €25m. Talks continue between Manchester Un...
Chris Sutton heaps praise on Celtic duo after their game-changing performance
Celtic picked up a 1-0 win over Riga in the Europa League tonight and former star Chris Sutton has heaped praise on the likes of Jeremie Frimpong and Elyounoussi after their match-winning performances. Sutton tweeted: Well played Jeremie Frimpong👏👏 — Chris Sutton (@chris_sutton73) September 24, 2020 Thank god for Elyounoussi… — Chris Sutton (@chris_sutton73) September 24, 2020 Both players were crucial to Celtic’s narrow win tonight. Frimpong came on as a substitute and helped set up the winning goal for the Hoops, scored by Elyounoussi. The young right-back added some much-needed pace and flair to the side and he helped open up the Riga defence with his mazy runs. Meanwhile, Elyounoussi showed his sharpness in the final third by putting away a vital chance. Celtic will kno...
Report: Southampton identify 22-yr-old as Hojbjerg’s replacement, could cost just £7m
Southampton are keen on signing the Toulouse midfielder Ibrahim Sangare this summer. According to the Telegraph, the Premier League side are looking at the 22-year-old as a replacement for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg who joined Tottenham earlier. Apparently, the Saints have been tracking the Ivory Coast midfielder for a while now. Sangare is highly rated in France and despite Toulouse’ relegation, he managed to impress in Ligue 1 last season. He could prove to be a quality signing for the Saints. As per reports, the player could be available for a fee of around £7 million because of his contract situation. He has just nine months left on his deal with the French outfit and they cannot afford to lose him for free next summer. Selling him for a reasonable price now would be the smart move. Th...
Report: Hammers keen on landing £120k-a-wk England international or his teammate
According to The Daily Telegraph, West Ham United have joined Aston Villa in the race to sign Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley on a season-long loan. They also have Ruben Loftus-Cheek on their radar, but will have to settle for one out of the Blues duo as Premier League rules mean they can only loan a single player from one club. Chelsea have demanded that any club pays Barkley his full £120,000-a-week salary if they take him on loan, and it remains to be seen whether West Ham will be keen to meet their demands. Villa are reluctant to agree a deal on those terms, though, and it could give David Moyes’ side a chance. Given the stiff competition for playing minutes at Chelsea, Barkley could be keen to leave temporarily in order to boost his chances of making Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions squ...
‘Just a shame’ – Villa legend aims dig at Wolves’ transfer strategy
Aston Villa’s all-time leading goalscorer in the English Premier League Gabriel Agbonlahor isn’t a fan of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ transfer strategy. The Molineux Stadium outfit signed Portugal international right-back Nelson Semedo from Barcelona yesterday, and they now have enough Portuguese players in their squad to almost make a starting XI. Wolves are only a defender away from being able to field a full Portugal XI 🇵🇹 pic.twitter.com/qYPwafg5ju — ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) September 23, 2020 Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo clearly loves the idea of signing his countrymen, and the club can’t complain after finishing in seventh-place in each of the last two seasons since he guided them to the top-flight. However, Agbonlahor isn’t particularly delighted that they are always sig...
Report: Everton could submit offer for 23-yr-old defender soon, Fulham linked as well
Everton and Fulham are interested in signing Jerome Onguene from RB Salzburg. Both clubs need to improve their defensive options this summer and it is no surprise that they are keen on signing the 23-year-old centre back. Everton have been linked with the likes of Gabriel and Fikayo Tomori already and it will be interesting to see if they can agree on a deal with the Austrian club for Onguene. Clearly, Fulham need to tighten up at the back as well and they have already conceded seven goals in their two Premier League games. If they want to stay up this season, they will have to improve their defence and the signing of the Salzburg defender could prove to be a smart move for them. According to reports, both clubs could soon present an offer for the Cameroon international and it will be inte...
Report: Leeds could look to sign 24-yr-old from PL outfit this summer
Leeds United have been linked with a move for the Southampton keeper Angus Gunn. According to Football Insider, the 24-year-old is a long-standing target for Leeds United and they tried to sign him a couple of years ago as well. Kiko Casilla has fallen out of favour at the club and 20-year-old Meslier has been starting for Leeds United in the Premier League so far. There is no doubt that Leeds United could use some experience in their goalkeeping department and the Southampton keeper should prove to be a useful option. Angus Gunn is unlikely to get regular game time at Southampton this summer and perhaps a loan move to Leeds United could be ideal for his career right now. He is behind the likes of Alex McCarthy and Fraser Forster in the pecking order right now. It will be interesting to se...
Report: Tottenham expected to sign 28-yr-old attacker, transfer close to completion
Tottenham have been linked with several strikers this summer but it seems that Benfica’s Haris Seferovic is now closing in on a move to the London club. According to CMTV, the player is nearly at Tottenham and the transfer should be finalized soon. The Londoners struggled to score goals during Harry Kane’s injury absence last season and they need to find a quality alternative to the England international. Seferovic has proven his quality with Benfica and he has the experience and the quality to succeed in England as well. The 28-year-old Swiss striker scored nine goals for the Portuguese outfit last season and he could be the ideal backup for Harry Kane at Tottenham. Apparently the London club tried to sign the 28-year-old back in January as well. It is believed that the Benfica striker wi...
Report: Newcastle and West Ham submit bid to sign 26-yr-old target
Juventus defender Daniele Rugani has been linked with a move away from the club this summer. Yesterday we covered reports claiming that Newcastle and West Ham are keen on signing the 26-year-old centre back. It seems that the two clubs have now made their move to sign the Italian. According to Calciomercato, both Premier League clubs have made bids for the player and the offers are being considered right now. It will be interesting to see where Rugani ends up this summer. He is a talented player who needs to play regular first team football in order to develop and fulfil his potential. Staying at Juventus could seriously affect his development. He is not a key starter for the Italian champions and he is unlikely to start regularly for them anytime soon. Both Newcastle and West Ham cou...
‘In the coming days’ – Leipzig director provides update on legal battle with Leeds
Bundesliga side RB Leipzig are in a legal battle with Leeds United over striker Jean-Kevin Augustin. The Frenchman joined the Elland Road outfit on loan in January, but constantly struggled with fitness and injuries, playing just 49 minutes of first-team football before returning to France ahead of the campaign restart in June. Leipzig believe Leeds are obligated to pay them £18 million for Augustin’s permanent services due to a clause in his loan deal after they sealed Premier League promotion. However, the Whites claim Augustin’s contract expired after six months – prior to restart – and Leipzig sporting director Markus Krosche has provided an update on their legal tussle: RB Leipzig sporting director Markus Krösche on the latest over the Jean-Kevin Augustin situation with #lufc: “...
Report: Intermediaries fly out to negotiate 25-yr-old’s transfer to Tottenham
Tottenham have been linked with the Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar this summer. Jose Mourinho wants to improve his back four before the window closes and he has identified the 25-year-old Slovakian as a tagret. According to Calciomercato, intermediaries close to the London club are in Milan right now to advance the negotiations regarding Skriniar and it will be interesting to see if the two clubs can find an agreement soon. Inter Milan are thought to be open to a sale but they value the player at around €60 million. It is safe to assume that Tottenham won’t be paying that kind of money for Skriniar this summer. Inter Milan will have to lower their asking price for the move to go through. The 25-year-old has not had the best of time under Antonio Conte and leaving Inter would be t...
