Report: Newcastle could look to bring 26-yr-old back to the Premier League in January
Newcastle could look to re-sign Nabil Bentaleb when the transfer window reopens in January. The 26-year-old midfielder was on loan at the Premier League club last season. According to Sport1, the player has recently been suspended by Schalke for the fifth time and his agent has taken a swipe at the German club. Apparently, the midfielder will be available for a nominal fee in January and Newcastle might look to bring him back to the club. Bentaleb has started just five league games for Schalke this season and he has been quite poor in them. There is no doubt that Newcastle need to add more depth to their central midfield but Bentaleb would be an uninspiring signing for them. The former Tottenham midfielder was highly rated a few years ago but he has failed to achieve his potential. He...
Report: Figures within the club believe Liverpool could sign €75m star, Klopp an admirer
Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland has been linked with a move to Liverpool. According to Eurosport, the Premier League champions could make him their next big-money signing. The 20-year-old has been outstanding for the German outfit and he could prove to be a superb long term signing for Liverpool. There is no doubt that Liverpool need to sign a quality number nine soon and Erling Haaland certainly fits the profile. Brazilian striker Roberto Firmino has been in poor form for quite some time now and Jurgen Klopp needs to bring in an alternative. The 29-year-old striker has scored just 14 goals in his last 66 appearances with Liverpool and that is simply not good enough for a team looking to challenge for the Premier League title and the Champions League title every year. Meanwhile, E...
‘Huge call by Jose’ – Some Spurs fans react after hearing who Mourinho could start on Sunday
Joe Rodon is all set for his first Tottenham start at the weekend in the London derby against Chelsea. Belgian defender Toby Alderwireld has been ruled out with a groin injury and the 23-year-old is expected to replace him in the starting lineup.
