West Ham eyeing swoop for “extraordinary” 22 y/o World Cup gem, he could replace Zouma - opinion

West Ham United are looking to breathe fresh life into the defensive ranks following a lacklustre start to the campaign, having performed so well under David Moyes the past few seasons. What’s the word? The Hammers have qualified in first position from their Europa Conference League group, but sit in 16th place in the Premier League having played 15 matches. Looking to provide stability from the back, Moyes is targeting different options in defence, with Spezia centre-back Jakub Kiwior at the top of the winter shopping list.  But reports stemming from Italian publication La Nazione state that Kiwior will attract a high fee, should his club be willing to part with their ace, with the Hammers previously having a £10m offer rejected and a revised fee of closer to £20m required to prise him away from Italian claws.  Perfect Zouma cover With Kurt Zouma having knee surgery last week , Kiwior would be the perfect remedy to ail the Hammers’ defensive issues, having starred in the

Potter could unearth the next Makelele as Chelsea close in on 18 y/o sensation - opinion

Chelsea ’s new owner Todd Boehly is striving to put the onus on young, promising prospects at Stamford Bridge, targeting touted starlets with a high ceiling, capable of forging their path toward prominence in West London.  What’s the word? One player that appears to be edging toward a move to Chelsea is Andrey Santos, a teenage sensation playing for Vasco de Gama in the Brazilian second tier, with a €15m (£13m) move set to be secured in the coming months.  This is according to French outlet Le10 Sport , who claim that the Blues have warded off interest from the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle United to lure the player into the fray.  One pivotal factor behind this was the Blues project being ‘more consistent with the player’s expectations than that of other clubs, such as PSG’ – with Potter’s philosophy and emphasis on youth likely a definitive argument in the bid.  The next Makelele Santos has earned plaudits for his refined, ubiquitous presence on the pitch, and

Defender Lisandro Martinez believes Argentina are a better side for having lost their World Cup opener to Saudi Arabia.

Wanted in 2021, now he’s “like Superman”: Palace missed a trick on World Cup "beast" - opinion

Image
Crystal Palace were heavily linked with Harry Souttar in 2021 and after an impressive performance at the World Cup for Australia, the Eagles may well be wishing they had brought him in. It was suggested last year that the south London outfit were among a number of suitors for the 6 foot 6 defender, who has established himself as a key player for Stoke City in the Championship in recent seasons. However, a cruciate ligament injury late in 2021 meant that Palace, among other Premier League sides, were never likely to bring him in, but their interest could perhaps be reignited now that he is back fit and producing stellar performances on the world’s stage in Qatar. The Stoke star was instrumental to Graham Arnold’s side earning their first  World Cup win since 2010 as Australia beat Tunisia 1-0 last week, giving the Socceroos a real chance of qualification from Group D. As per  Sofascore , the former Dundee United man would earn a superb 7.7/10 rating for his performance, which

Conte could form a "midfield machine" as Spurs eye "roaming" £52m World Cup starlet - opinion

Image
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in a deal to bring Manuel Ugarte to the Premier League in the January transfer window. What’s the talk? That’s according to a report by Portuguese outlet O’Jogo , who claim that Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici are continuing to monitor the Uruguay midfielder at the Qatar World Cup this winter, with the Italian duo believed to have been tracking the 21-year-old ever since his impressive Champions League displays for Sporting Lisbon against Spurs earlier this season. However, earlier reports revealed that Paris Saint-Germain are also keeping a close eye on the central midfielder, while it is also claimed that Sporting are hoping to tie the six-cap international down to a new one-year contract at Estádio José Alvalade, a deal that would see the youngster’s release clause rise from €60m (£52m) to €80m (£69.5m). “Midfield machine” Considering just how impressive Ugarte has been in Portugal so far this season, it is not hard to understand why

No goals on loan, now a WC star: Sunderland dropped a clanger with 22 y/o “nightmare” - opinion

After failing to score in seven appearances for Sunderland on loan, few Mackems would have expected to see Antoine Semenyo playing at the World Cup just two years later. The young striker joined the Black Cats on loan from Bristol City during the 2019/20 League One season but featured just seven times in the third tier, with those appearances only totalling 184 minutes. The Ghanaian forward had managed six goals and two assists with Newport County in League Two the season prior, but was clearly deemed not good enough by Phil Parkinson, as he looked to guide the Black Cats back to the Championship. Semenyo was quick to prove Parkinson wrong the following campaign, as he notched five goals and seven assists in all competitions for the Robins, which set him on the way to becoming a key player at Ashton Gate. The 2021/22 campaign was an extremely impressive one for the 22-year-old forward, as he managed eight goals and 12 assists in just 31 league appearances for Nigel Pearson’s

92% pass accuracy: "Massively important” Palace titan caught the eye with WC display - opinion

Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen is continuing to impress at the World Cup with Denmark, with the centre-back solid once again on Saturday despite defeat against France. The former Lyon man has been a mainstay in Patrick Vieira’s side since joining in 2021, making 52 appearances , in which he has contributed one goal and three assists. His strong performances in the Premier League this season, which have seen him average a solid 6.91 rating from WhoScored , meant that it was perhaps always likely that he would start in Kasper Hjulmand’s defence in Qatar. Although Denmark now face a battle to get out of their group, after drawing to Tunisia and suffering a narrow defeat against the holders, Andersen’s displays will only encourage Vieira ahead of his Premier League return next month. Saturday saw him up against the frightening Kylian Mbappe for France and while the PSG star would hit a match-winning double, the Palace defender can be proud of his performance. As per Sofas

Chelsea "looking at" signing "very intelligent" £40m "lion", Boehly could ditch Lukaku - opinion

Chelsea are in desperate need of reinforcements in their team after a poor start in the Premier League has left them eighth in the league table and now a new update has emerged on a potential new transfer target who could save the season. What’s the latest? According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, Chelsea are “looking at” the potential of bringing in a number nine, and signing Brentford striker Ivan Toney could be an option. O’Rourke told GIVEMESPORT : “I think Chelsea long-term will be looking to bring in a number nine, probably this summer. “I don’t think Pierre Emerick Aubameyang is the long-term answer due to his form and his age probably. “So, I think Chelsea will be looking at him [Toney]. If you’re looking at Premier League strikers and ones that are probably more gettable than others, Ivan Toney definitely comes into the reckoning.” Boehly can finally ditch Lukaku If Chelsea are serious about targeting a brand new number nine in the summer of 2023, it could spell the

Game-changer: Cooper must unleash Forest's "fantastic" £16m ace after the World Cup - opinion

Nottingham Forest haven’t had a fairytale start to their Premier League season and have spent the large majority of their time in the relegation zone. Thus, there is no doubt that Steve Cooper will be working hard over the World Cup break to find ways to improve the team. The Tricky Trees return to action after Christmas with a difficult clash at Old Trafford against Manchester United and the manager will surely be hoping the good form that Forest found themselves in ahead of the prestigious international competition can quickly resume. Over their last five fixtures in the top flight, the side picked up points from four of their most recent outings which has contributed to their climb up the table from rock bottom to just one point away from safety in 17th. Forest have ten  players on their books who are currently participating in the World Cup in Qatar with Neco Williams, Wayne Hennessy, Brennan Johnson, Remo Freuler, Cheikhou Kouyate, Ethan Horvath, Brandon Aguilera, Mohamed

Liverpool have "special" £43m World Cup headliner "on the radar", imagine him & Nunez - opinion

Image
Liverpool have struggled in the Premier League this season so far as they currently sit sixth in the table so there could be an opportunity to invest in the team in January with a reliable source revealing a potential transfer target. What’s the latest? According to CBS reporter Ben Jacobs, Netherlands and PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo is “on the radar” of Liverpool. Jacobs tweeted: “Cody Gakpo has been directly involved in 34 goals in 28 games for club and country this season. He’s scored 16 and assisted 18. He’s firmly on the radar of Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.” Imagine him & Nunez There is no doubt that Liverpool already possess a number of world-class talents in their forward line with the likes of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz providing the attacking threat at Anfield alongside newly-signed Darwin Nunez. However, there is no denying that Gakpo is one of the hottest prospects in Europe right now with the talented winger matching Manches

Moore must unleash “wonderful” Sheff Wed star vs MTFC, he adds a “different dimension” - opinion

Sheffield Wednesday take on Mansfield Town in the FA Cup on Saturday and Darren Moore should reward Tyreeq Bakinson’s recent strong form with a start. The midfielder struggled for regular game time at the start of the season but has really caught the eye in recent performances, notably against Southampton and Shrewsbury Town in the last two fixtures. With Josh Windass likely to miss this weekend’s game against The Stags through injury , Moore will need another source of creativity in the middle of the park, and Bakinson can certainly provide that, as he showed with his through ball to the aforementioned attacker in the League Cup defeat against Southampton. The 24-year-old has started just eight games in League One so far this campaign but has one goal and one assist to his name thus far, with WhoScored awarding him a solid 6.73 rating for his performances in the third tier. The Owls will go into the game as heavy favourites, given that Mansfield are a division lower and have

Sheff Weds' "wonderful" ace absent from training, it could be a big blow for Moore - opinion

Sheffield Wednesday have been handed an injury blow ahead of this weekend’s FA Cup game against Mansfield, with Josh Windass seemingly absent from training. The attacking midfielder has been one of the star performers in Darren Moore’s side so far this season but was forced off in last weekend’s win against Shrewsbury Town. Sheffield Star reporter Joe Crann confirmed that the former Rangers man wasn’t seen in training after he confirmed on Instagram earlier this week that he could face a spell on the sidelines. Windass wrote : “Got a little knock but all good just need a good rest.” It seems likely therefore that the midfielder will be absent when the Owls host Mansfield on Saturday afternoon, which is undoubtedly a blow to their hopes of reaching the potentially money-spinning third round of the cup. Only Barry Bannan has contributed to more goals than Windass so far this campaign, with the 28-year-old ranked as the sixth-best player in Moore’s side according to WhoScored . H

According to La Repubblica , the Tynesiders are one of the clubs who are keen on signing the 24-year-old, with the playmaker facing an uncertain future in France with his existing deal set to expire in the summer. The one-cap gem – who was reportedly close to a move to newly-promoted Nottingham Forest in the recent window – is said to have no ‘shortage of offers from the Premier League ‘, with the long list of suitors hoping to strike a pre-contract agreement in January.

Spurs could repeat Kulu masterclass after Alasdair Gold drops exciting transfer update - opinion

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping tabs on Atalanta playmaker, Ruslan Malinovskyi, having previously been heavily linked with the Ukrainian gem over the summer. What’s the word? According to football.london’s Alasdair Gold , the 29-year-old is a player that the north Londoners have ‘looked at’ amid their search for new attacking additions, with sporting director Fabio Paratici seemingly aiming to bolster the Lilywhites’ forward line. The report suggests that manager Antonio Conte was left ‘frustrated’ by his lack of options in that department earlier this season due to injury, with the loss of Dejan Kulusevski and summer signing Richarlison having left the forward ranks looking particularly threadbare. As for Malinovskyi, recent reports in Italy have claimed that Paratici has already made contact to sign the 51-cap gem – who could command a fee of around £26m – with the forward having previously been “ wanted ” by the Premier League outfit in the summer, as per journali
