Tottenham fans desperate for Bailey deal

Bayer Leverkusen attacker Leon Bailey is some talent, and there is not a major European club in the world that has not had a look at the Jamaica international.

Bailey only turned 20 last August, but he managed 12 goals and six assists in 34 appearances for Leverkusen during the 2017-18 campaign.

Manchester City are believed to be interested in the attacker, although Leverkusen will surely fight to keep hold of their prized asset.

Bailey was recently pictured alongside Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele, and that prompted the Spurs supporters to comment on the Jamaican.

Dembele might actually be heading out of Tottenham this summer, but the Spurs fans are desperate for Bailey to make the move to the new White Hart Lane.

The London club would have to hold off a host of major clubs in order to sign Bailey, but the attacker, who is valued at £40.5m by transfermarkt.co.uk, might well fancy linking-up with Harry Kane in the English capital.

A selection of the Twitter reaction from the Spurs supporters can be seen below:

Three reasons Newcastle must hijack Huddersfield’s bid to sign Alex Pritchard

According to The Mirror’s live transfer blog on January 3 (2:22pm), Huddersfield Town are ready to make a third bid for Norwich City winger Alex Pritchard having already had two bids rebuffed for the 24-year-old.

The Canaries signed the former England U21 international in an £8.5m deal from Tottenham Hotspur in January 2016, and he has gone on to make a big impression at Carrow Road for the Championship outfit.

Those performances obviously haven’t gone unnoticed by the Yorkshire club, and despite the fact the wide-man has been missing the majority of the season through injury, David Wagner is desperate to bring him to the John Smith’s Stadium during the January transfer window in order to boost his side’s Premier League survival hopes.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United lie two places and two points behind 11th-placed Town in the standings, but they are just two points above Stoke City in the last relegation spot.

Manager Rafa Benitez will be desperate to strengthen his squad this month despite a lack of progress with a proposed takeover, and with his team only scoring 20 goals in their 22 top flight matches, bringing Pritchard to St James’ Park could prove to be a shrewd move.

Here are three reasons Newcastle must hijack Huddersfield’s bid to sign Pritchard…

They need more attacking depth

With 20 goals in 22 Premier League matches this season – and with four of those coming from centre-backs Jamaal Lascelles and Ciaran Clark – it is clear to see that Newcastle need to add to their attacking options this month.

While they have options like Matt Ritchie, Jacob Murphy, Christian Atsu and Rolando Aarons out wide, none of the aforementioned quartet have made the impact that the Magpies have required this term, and adding a versatile winger like Pritchard to the squad could prove to be an inspired decision.

His qualities

According to WhoScored.com, Pritchard’s strengths include his crossing, through ball, passing and his taking of set-pieces, and he has made 10 key passes in eight Championship appearances this term.

Having recovered from an ankle injury that kept him on the sidelines until the end of November, the 24-year-old has also successfully completed 11 of the 21 dribbles he has attempted.

Last season, he made 56 key passes in 30 Championship games for the Canaries, scoring six goals and providing a further seven assists, and he has 12 of the latter in 42 outings in all competitions for City.

Price tag

According to The Mirror, Norwich City are looking to at least recoup the £8.5m they bought Pritchard for if they are to sell him this month, and that should put him well in Newcastle’s price range.

While Rafa Benitez won’t have a huge January budget, he should still have some money from the summer left over as well as whatever Mike Ashley is willing to give him, and if he could bring Pritchard to St James’ Park for around £10m or less the Spaniard would likely be pleased.

Capital One Cup – The competition where fans dare to dream

‘Romance’ is a word often used by pundits and fans when talking about domestic cup competitions, with the unique circumstances of knockout football providing all the ingredients for the fairy-tale story. In a footballing world where the gaps between divisions have extended beyond recognition, the chance for plucky underdog to land a punch on an opponent that heavily outranks them is evident.

The Capital One Cup is perhaps the greatest example of this in the English game, as the sides from League Two are presented with the opportunity to rub shoulders with the very best. Granted, the score lines can be an indication of the divide, but every now and then the something comes along that makes everybody sit up and take notice.

Last year’s competition was a fine illustration of the underdog enjoying a moment in the sun. Bradford City were, for the most part of the previous campaign, in serious danger of slipping out of the Football League and potentially existence, however their cup run was one that many top tier sides would have been proud of.

The Bantams registered unthinkable results to knock out the likes of Arsenal and Aston Villa on their way to a showpiece final at Wembley where they faced Swansea – who themselves had come a long way in booking a spot in the tie. The class of the Premier League representatives eventually told as they cruised to a 5-0 victory, but that didn’t detract at all from the achievements of the Yorkshire outfit, who had defied the odds on numerous occasions to give many of their fans an unforgettable set of memories.

It is runs like this that get the hearts of fans from all 92 clubs eligible to enter the competition racing. From the Champions of England right down to teams just establishing themselves in the league system, all have the chance of lifting silverware and featuring in an all-or-nothing encounter at the home of English football.

One-off games have all of the tools to provide shocks, thrills and spills, with a chance for lesser-known player to establish their names in footballing folklore. Such opportunities are few and far between with the pattern that the sport has now taken, as financial muscle has thwarted the prospect of a level playing field. Over the distance of a season the better outfit would easily move clear, but when the chips are down in a midweek tie under the floodlights, anything can happen.

The Capital One Cup presents the ‘romance’ like no other, reminding us of what football can be all about. It may be a little cliché, but a cliché is indeed a cliché for a reason, and League Cup has a habit of throwing fans a shock result or a memorable moment.

This season’s offering is likely to be no different, with a selection of teams all looking at the possibility of ‘doing a Bradford’. Who knows, maybe this year’s underdog can go one better in February.

Southampton agree to sign Japanese Olympic captain

Southampton have agreed the signing of Japan defender and Olympic captain Maya Yoshida, subject to international clearance.

The 24-year-old will move to the Premier League side from Dutch Eredivisie outfit VVV-Venlo on a three-year deal. The centre back, capped 17 times by his country, captained Japan to fourth at the London 2012 Olympics and scored in their 3-0 last-eight win over Egypt.

In a statement on Southampton’s official site, Yoshida expressed his delight at joining the Saints: “To come to the Premier League was one of my biggest dreams since I was a child. I am very grateful to be able to become a Saint and I will do my best for the team and for the supporters.”

Manager Nigel Adkins added “We are delighted to bring in Maya to the Club. He is a centre half who is comfortable on both the right and left-hand side as he is good with both feet and has a good physical presence about himself. We are really looking forward to working with him here at Southampton.”

Yoshida becomes the second Japan international at St. Mary’s, joining forward Tadanari Lee.

James Maddison’s season was impressive enough to justify Arsenal interest

As reported by The Sun, Arsenal are interested in signing Norwich City star James Maddison during this summer’s transfer window.

What’s the story?

Gunners supporters are set for an exciting summer of transfer business with an incoming new manager likely to put his stamp on the squad with fresh signings and a fresh philosophy after the departure of Arsene Wenger.

That doesn’t mean that the club aren’t planning ahead though and identifying targets already though.

One such target is Norwich City attacking midfielder James Maddison.

That’s according to The Sun, who say that the club will compete with the likes of Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur for his signature.

He is set for big move this summer, say the paper, after receiving a better diagnosis on a potential ligament injury than expected.

The report states any move could be worth as much as £25m.

Would he be a good buy?

It’s always difficult to know whether a player can make the transition from second-tier football to the Premier League and the step up to playing for a top six side is obviously even more difficult.

At 21 years of age though, Maddison has shown impressive consistency and ability this season.

He scored 15 goals and assisted eight times for the Canaries from midfield, which is even more impressive when you consider they a mid-table outfit.

With exceptional technical ability, passing range and an eye for goal at any distance, he has a style of play and confidence that could make him a big hit at the Gunners.

His age means he could improve even further too, so Arsenal should ensure they beat their Premier League rivals to his signature this summer, or risk missing out on a big English talent.

Five wing wizards Newcastle should consider this summer

Mike Ashley appears to be breaking Mike Ashley tradition and actually spending money.

Rejoice! In this most strange of circumstances, £13m Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has arrived from Anderlecht to add much needed firepower to the Magpies front line.

With QPR hitman Charlie Austin rumoured to be the next through the door, attention must now turn to brining in a wing wizard to provide them service.

Mitrovic and Austin were both lethal in front of goal for their respective clubs last year, so Newcastle need to bring in players that will complement them.

Other attacking options are Siem De Jong, Ayoze Perez and Pappis Cisse, though none are out and out wingers.

Exciting young talent Rolando Aarons will work on the wings this year no doubt, but more players should be brought in to help. It is a long season and the Toon Army cannot march with such a small army.

Here are FIVE wicked wing wizards to drive the Toon Army barmy this year…

MO SALAH

Football – Chelsea v Arsenal – Barclays Premier League – Stamford Bridge – 22/3/14Chelsea’s Mohamed Salah celebrates scoring their sixth goalMandatory Credit: Action Images / John SibleyLivepicEDITORIAL USE ONLY.

A move for the Chelsea outcast may seem rather ambitious, having been linked with some of the top teams in Italy.

The Egyptian midfielder impressed while on loan in Serie A last season, showing the dynamism in his game he could not ignite at Chelsea.

Roma and Inter Milan have both been linked with him, but the chance to stay in England may appeal to all parties. The recent TV deal affords even mid-level Premier League sides the chance to pay eye watering sums to their players.

Salah would provide the injection of pace not currently found in the Newcastle front line. Despite a frustrating time in West London, the former FC Basel man is a top player on his day.

His blistering pace and abundance of flair would excite the baying Geordies and work well with their new £13m man.

Nicknamed the ‘Egyptian Messi’, Salah is exactly the sort of player Newcastle should be targeting to shoot them up the league. Perhaps he is not yet the level of Willian and Eden Hazard, but some time cutting his teeth in the Premier League could help him fulfil his potential.

Mitrovic and Salah could be just the double team to shoot the team up the league.

ANDROS TOWNSEND

Should a move for Salah not come off, England winger Andros Townsend could be available to prize away from White Hart Lane.

Linked with a move to North East rivals Sunderland, the Spurs man appears to be surplus to requirements in North London.

Townsend can frustrate at club level no doubt, but he is an out and out winger with an eye for goal. His international form is excellent, with a great strike against Italy in a recent friendly.

Newcastle are well stocked in central areas it seems, but Townsend hugging the touch line would be a welcome sight at St. James’.

A winger with blistering pace to counter attack with, to provide a decent cross for a fox in the box like Mitrovic, Cisse and potentially Austin may not be the most ground breaking of tactics, but it could prove to be mightily effective.

His ability to cut inside and shoot from distance could add another dimension to a team who barely had a single one last year. Perhaps not the most nuanced of fancy feet wing men, Townsend’s smash and grab style could suit the Toon to a tee.

ASHLEY YOUNG

After an excellent season last year, it seems rather strange to include the Manchester United man in this list.

The exiled England international was in danger of becoming a forgotten man at Old Trafford, but a string of excellent performances kept record signing Angel Di Maria out of the side.

However, United’s quest for all things galactico may leave Young out in the cold. Louis van Gaal’s admission that the former Watford man is not in the same class as Neymar seems like a rather obvious statement, but suggests United would be willing to sell.

Linked with a return to former club Aston Villa, Newcastle should go in for Young should he become available. The versatile 30-year-old was excellent against Newcastle last season and scored the winning goal in the dying embers of the game.

Able to operate on the right, left and even as a wing back, Young’s crossing skills would pair nicely with the aerial prowess Mitrovic and perhaps Austin would bring.

His willingness to track back could make him a crowd favourite, and guaranteed first team football may help his chances of making it back into the England camp.

MATT PHILLIPS

Though it’s QPR team mate Charlie Austin who the club appear to be after, Matt Phillips could also fit nicely into Steve McClaren’s side. He may not be the most glamorous of names, but some excellent performances in a dire Rangers side last year proved there is a player in there somewhere.

As Newcastle enter a new dawn, signing fashionable European names appears to be the flavour of the month. However, this Scotland international enjoyed a great run of form during the second half of the season, with nine goals in eight games.

The Toon Army desperately need reinforcements on the wing and the former Blackpool winger linked well with top target Charlie Austin.

Capable of producing moments out of nothing, a stunning strike against Crystal Palace is a contender as one of the best in Premier League history. A year ago we may find it odd to talk so highly of the man, but under Chris Ramsey he was rejuvenated.

Only Lionel Messi had notched more assists than the QPR man throughout the five top European leagues.

Linked with a move to West Brom, the Magpies could do a lot worse than bringing the QPR man.

XHERDAN SHAQIRI

Perhaps the least likely of all the options, Inter Milan winger Xherdan Shaqiri would be a stellar signing for Steve McClaren.

The Swiss wizard is a top class player, though he is constantly linked with a move away from Milan. The stocky former Bayern star is a Champions League winner, and is the sort of calibre of player Newcastle should be targeting if they are serious about a top eight challenge.

A magician on the ball, Shaqiri was cast aside from Bayern and has wound up playing for Inter. The Italian giants accepted a bid from Stoke for his services, though a move did not come to fruition. Should he be on the market, he is perhaps the best signing Newcastle could possibly make this summer.

Much more of a technician, he does not provide the same natural width as perhaps Townsend or Young, but a lot more creativity. He is probably too talented for the club in their current state, but Inter appear willing to shift the Swiss.

For the good times to roll back at St. James’ Park, Shaqiri is the sort of addition they need.

Do Manchester United really need this summer transfer?

Somewhere in the negotiations to secure Carlo Ancelotti as Real Madrid’s latest manager, President Florentino Perez would have used the good nature between his club and PSG to try and create a barrier between the French club and Cristiano Ronaldo.

PSG have been one of the leaders in the hunt for Ronaldo’s signature, along with former club Manchester United. The Paris club can afford Ronaldo and, they need Ronaldo as their building to superpower status continues.

For United it’s slightly different. New manager David Moyes needs to set a marker for the start of his tenure with the club. It’s been said that the new financial deals for the club could help fund the move for the Portuguese, while conflicting statements suggest that the player could run down his contract with Real Madrid and move on free, securing himself a substantial signing-on bonus.

[cat_link cat=”manchester-united” type=”list”]

It’s not really a matter of whether United need a player like Cristiano Ronaldo – who would say no to either him or Lionel Messi on the basis that they’re well-stocked or unable to accommodate them? It’s lunacy. Any club would be infinitely better with the Portuguese in their side. The real matter is that of the financial side of things, whether United can indeed afford to shell out on the player.

Such is Ronaldo’s contract situation at Madrid that it seems unlikely that Florentino Perez would be in a position to demand £80 million or above – at least beyond this summer. United were said to be in for Radamel Falcao – of which we don’t know how much is true – meaning they’d have had to pay somewhere in the region of £60million for the now Monaco forward; possible indicators as to how much flexibility the club would be willing to offer Moyes.

But from a purely football perspective, United have dropped off from their ability to match the very best in the Champions League. The signing of Robin van Persie did a lot to wrestle back the Premier League title from Manchester City, yet the squad as a whole could do nothing to force a place alongside the class of Bayern Munich, Dortmund or even PSG in Europe. There is also a case to be made that had the rest of the Premier League’s top clubs not been so inconsistent last season, United would certainly not have walked the title in the way they did. Something about parallels to Spain and Germany.

A move for Thiago is well within the boundaries of reasonable outlay, and the youngster will help to turn the club’s fortunes around on the European stage. Are United simply looking to make use of the convenience of the player’s buy-out clause? Not unless you believe the stories which say United were in for Thiago two summers ago. The club would even be a good fit for Gareth Bale, provided, in the unlikely event, Daniel Levy opts to enter negotiations with the United instead of Real Madrid.

But neither do quite as much as what Ronaldo would. It would send shock waves around Europe, much in the same way as Mario Goetze’s transfer from Dortmund to Bayern. Not necessarily as an implication that the German youngster is an equal to Ronaldo, but purely because of shock value.

There’s no doubt that Bayern are now the dominant power of European football. They possess the strongest squad, to such an extent that they’re barely flinching at the idea of losing a goal machine like Mario Gomez. They now have one of the best managers in the game today taking over from their treble-winning coach in Jupp Heynckes, all the while able to lure the majority of the world’s best to the Allianz Arena.

Wouldn’t it just be in the script if Ronaldo helped United to topple Bayern’s empire, if only for a short time, in the way he did for Real Madrid two seasons ago? The bedding-in period took some time, but eventually it become very much an even duel between Ronaldo and Messi in the Clasicos, sometimes with the Madrid forward bettering the Argentine.

For now, however, United are likely to look where there is a clear path to what they want, and that points towards Thiago. Ronaldo’s future isn’t any clearer now than it was when he announced his “unhappiness” at the start of last season. Stories emerging indicate that Florentino Perez has unearthed new confidence in his bid to keep the Portuguese at the Bernabeu, while follow-up stories point to an exit.

United do need the player back at Old Trafford. Now that Alex Ferguson has moved on, there’s no way the club can try to mask the idea that they have fallen some way since their Champions League final appearance in 2011. It’s not that other players combining at the club couldn’t take United back to that level, but Ronaldo’s arrival would accelerate that leap forward considerably.

Do Manchester United need Ronaldo back at the club?

Swansea to break transfer record on midfielder

Swansea have agreed a £5.5 million fee with Valencia for Spanish midfielder Pablo Hernandez, Mirror Football claim.

The Liberty Stadium side have started to splash the cash made from the sale of Joe Allen to Liverpool, and have this week secured Ki Sung-Yueng from Celtic for a club-record £5.5 million.

However, Michael Laudrup’s spending is not over yet, and after having a number of offers for the right winger rejected, agreed a fee with the Mestalla side on Wednesday night.

Hernandez, who has been capped by Spain four times, will now travel to Wales to discuss personal terms, with a deal likely to be finalised before the end of the week.

Laudrup worked with the 27-year-old at former club Getafe, and the player is said to want a move to the Premier League to be reunited with the Dane.

Leeds fans aren’t impressed by big Radrizzani news

Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani’s company have won the rights to broadcast La Liga football, and fans are using it to bash the Italian once again.The big news from Leeds this week was nothing to do with the club itself, but with its owner and chairman Andrea Radrizzani.The Italian businessman has taken plenty of stick since taking over at Elland Road, although fans would surely agree he’s better than Massimo Cellino.[ad_pod ]This week, news broke that Radrizzani’s company, Eleven Sports, have won the rights over Sky to broadcast Spanish football, but fans don’t seem all that happy about it.While he is definitely an improvement on Cellino, the Elland Road faithful have not exactly enjoyed Radrizzani’s reign, particularly his trust in the infamous Victor Orta and his bizarre rant about Wolves’ transfer business.Some fans may feel the owner’s big news will give them a boost pursuing Spanish players in the transfer market, but most are annoyed that the 43 year-old isn’t spending more money and time on his club.Some of the best Twitter reactions can be found below…

Newcastle stay up, Liverpool humiliated… the final day blow-by-blow
