‘Doesn’t make sense’, ‘I’m a fan’ – Sutton left disappointed with Celtic’s decision on winger
Irish winger Jonny Hayes has left Celtic after the club decided not to hand him a contract extension. The 32-year-old joined the Hoops from Aberdeen for £1 million in the summer of 2017, featuring in 68 games across all competitions and helping the team to the last three Premiership titles. While Hayes was never the first name on the team sheet, the versatile winger was the perfect squad player, offering manager Neil Lennon an option at left-back. He had thought that a new deal was on the cards following contract chats with the Celtic boss in December, but none was offered, and the decision has left former Hoops star Chris Sutton disappointed. “Whatever you feel about the rights and wrongs of Jonny Hayes and Jozo Simunovic being let go, it cannot be argued their removal from the ...
Report: 26-yr-old Tottenham target’s decision could hand them a major transfer boost
Tottenham have been linked with a move for the Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser this summer. As per Football Insider, the 26-year-old has now refused to sign a short-term extension with the Cherries and he won’t finish the season with them. Apparently, Fraser is worried that he could pick up an injury if he plays during the remainder of the season. The Premier League has been put on hold since March and players are lacking in match fitness. It is understandable why players like Fraser are worried about picking up injuries. The winger does not want his big move scuppered due to an injury. It will be interesting to see if Spurs snap him up in the coming weeks now. Fraser will be a free agent at the end of this month. However, he won’t be able to play for Tottenham even if his signing is confir...

West Ham have been linked with a move for the Argentine full-back Gonzalo Montiel. The player’s agent has now claimed that the Hammers are likely to make an offer for his client soon. His agent said (via Sportwitness): “There are several teams that have called and are interested in Montiel. West Ham already sent an offer in January and I think they’ll also make one in this market. And on the Italian side an offer could also come”. David Moyes needs to improve his defensive options and Montiel could prove to be a good signing for his team. The likes of Fredericks are simply not good enough for an ambitious Premier League side and West Ham must look to bring in better players if they want to progress. Montiel is highly talented and he could develop into a star for West Ham with a bit of coac...
Report: Klopp losing patience with Liverpool player, eyeing £50m move for Portuguese City want
According to The Sun, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wants Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves at Anfield this summer. The Portuguese is rated £50 million, and the Reds boss reckons he can help freshen up his midfield for next season’s Premier League title defence. Neves has impressed for Wolves over the last two seasons and is also attracting Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. The Catalan saw his side’s title challenge crumble this season and is looking to strengthen his squad for next season’s domestic battle with Liverpool. The Anfield outfit aren’t short of options in the middle of the park, but Gini Wijnaldum is stalling on signing an extension with just a year left on his current contract, while Klopp is said to be losing patience with Naby Keita. The Guinean arrived f...
Report: Marcelo Bielsa closing in on a deal to bring 22-yr-old to Leeds United
Tottenham defender Juan Foyth has been linked with a move away from the club this summer. Apparently, Leeds United are keen on the player and they are close to signing him on loan. As per Ole (via Sportwitness), the Championship giants are set to sign the player on a loan deal for the next season. The report claims that Marcelo Bielsa is closing in on a deal for the 22-year-old. Foyth needs to play regular first-team football and he needs to leave Spurs in order for that to happen. He is unlikely to get starts ahead of Sanchez and Alderweireld. The young defender has the potential to be a starter for Spurs but he needs to develop as a player first. Regular football at Leeds could help him improve. Someone like Bielsa will be able to bring out the best in him. The Argentine manager is a wor...
Report: Hammers rule out bidding for £110,000-a-wk striker, but his club could offer him for Rice
According to The Athletic’s Simon Johnson, West Ham United have ruled out making a bid for Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi with his £110,000-a-week wages putting them and other suitors off. It’s one of the reasons why Crystal Palace are no longer interested in the Belgian despite spending a £1 million loan fee on him and paying all of his salary when they took him to Selhurst Park for the second half of last season. Batshuayi is way down the pecking order at Chelsea and he isn’t in boss Frank Lampard’s first-team plans. The Stamford Bridge outfit would love to sell him, and will attempt to get a large sum for his signature after asking Borussia Dortmund for £50 million in 2018. Chelsea want close to the £33 million they paid Marseille for Batshuayi’s signature in 2016, and w...
