يعتقد المدرب السابق لنادي أتلتيكو مدريد، جيرمان أرديان راموس بورجوس، أن مواطنه وقائد الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة، ليونيل ميسي، سيلعب يومًا ما في نيويلز أولد بويز في الأرجنتين.

وينتهي عقد ميسي مع برشلونة بنهاية الموسم الحالي، وهناك الكثير من التكهنات حول مستقبل الأرجنتيني داخل قلعة “كامب نو” خاصة مع وجود اهتمام من طرف ناديي مانشستر سيتي وباريس سان جيرمان.

يعمل بورجوس في الوقت الحالي كمدير فني لنادي نيويلز أولد بويز، بعد رحيله عن أتلتيكو مدريد حيث كان مساعدًا لمواطنه، دييجو سيميوني، حتى العام الماضي 2020.

West Ham United fans have hailed defender Arthur Masuaku after an exceptional display against Norwich City at the weekend.

The Irons posted a tweet on Tuesday claiming that the full-back enjoyed “statistically, the best left-back performance in Europe”.

Masuaku laid on an exceptional assist for Sebastian Haller as the Hammers won 2-0 at the London Stadium.

Per WhoScored, he touched the ball 79 times, registered a pass completion rate of 92%, completed two dribbles and won six tackles, while he was never dispossessed.

The 25-year-old was not in the squad for the opening game of the club’s season, a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City, but he has played in each of the subsequent three games and the Irons have not lost any of them, drawing 1-1 with Brighton & Hove Albion and beating both Watford and the Canaries.

And a number of supporters have praised the left-back following another sterling showing.

Arsenal opened their Premier League account with a routine 1-0 win over Newcastle on Sunday afternoon as a solitary strike from Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang was enough for the Gunners.

Unai Emery chose to make Granit Xhaka skipper during the game as he made his 100th Premier League appearance in Arsenal colours. Following the departure of club captain Laurent Koscielny, it appears as though the Swiss is next in line to replace him in that role.

However, after his performance in midfield at St James’ Park it left much of the Arsenal fanbase incredibly divided over his efforts.

Some praised the Switzerland international as one said if Xhaka wasn’t playing it would have been a loss for the north London outfit. Another fan said he was superb with his positioning.

Yet other supporters decided to lay into the 26-year-old. One individual claimed the Premier League wasn’t for him as he was branded the main negative from the match.

The debate led to one tweeter seemingly baffled at some of the hate the 6 foot man gets.

Xhaka finished the match with a pass completion rate of 84.5% whilst picking up a customary yellow card. He also won two aerial duels and made three tackles, per WhoScored.

Here’s the best of the debate.

Lots of Everton fans have taken to Twitter to discuss the news that Henry Onyekuru is set for a move to Monaco, as reported by L’Equipe.

The Nigerian striker signed for the Toffees back in the summer of 2017 for a £7m fee, but he has never made a single appearance for the Merseysiders after having issues with obtaining a work permit.

Check out some amazing tekkers in the video below…

The 22-year-old has since spent time on loan at Anderlecht and Galatasaray, scoring 16 goals for the latter last term.

Due to the fact that the 5 foot 9 forward is still having work permit problems, the Toffees look to have made the decision to sell the former Eupen man to Monaco for a reported sum of €15m (£13.7m) as it seems unlikely that he will ever get the chance to play for the Merseysiders.

He will reportedly commit to a long-term contract with the Ligue 1 side.

Let’s take a look at how the Everton fans on Twitter reacted to the news…

Newcastle have been quite busy this summer and their final addition to the team might just be the most surprising one yet.

The Magpies have now officially confirmed the big return of Andy Carroll to St. James’ Park on transfer deadline day and the 30-year-old forward has signed an initial one-year deal with the club.

Of course, Carroll is no stranger to the Toon Army as he has already spent some time with Newcastle in his career between 2008 and 2011.

And the player was announced with a brilliant video that Carroll captioned as “I’m coming home”.

The 30-year-old centre-forward has scored 33 goals in his first spell with the club and has managed to bag one goal in 14 appearances last season, while he has 53 Premier League strikes to his name in total.

He also joins the team as Steve Bruce’s fifth summer signing after Joelinton, Allan Saint-Maximin, Jetro Willems and Emil Krafth.

Carroll has also won nine caps for England, managing to score two goals in the process.

Lee Chapman, who can be seen in the video above filling out his Panini Tabloid, believes that the Foxes will get their revenge on the opening weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have backed Kyle Walker-Peters to enjoy a breakthrough season in 2019/20.

The right-back played just six times in the Premier League last season, completing the 90 minutes on four occasions; against AFC Bournemouth, Southampton, Huddersfield Town and Everton on the final day.

The game against Bournemouth saw Walker-Peters register three assists in total as he gave an example of the quality he possesses, but he did not play his first game for the club in 2018/19 until December, featuring for 12 minutes in the 2-0 win over Leicester City.

Walker-Peters also played 61 minutes against Barcelona in the Champions League as Spurs drew 1-1 at the Camp Nou to seal their progression into the knockout stages.

And fans are confident that the 22-year-old could enjoy a standout season in 2019/20, as he looks to jump ahead of both Kieran Trippier and Serge Aurier in manager Mauricio Pochettino’s pecking order in north London.

A sixth major European Cup was won.

Their Premier League title race almost successful but for just two points.

The PFA Player of the Year and Ballon d’Or favourite in their ranks, 2 Golden Boot winners in attack and the owner of the Golden Glove in between the sticks.

Do Liverpool even need to spend? Yes.

You can relive Liverpool’s Champions League celebrations in glorious 2D thanks to the guys at 442oons in the video below…

All of the above is impressive, but if the Reds are to get on back-to-back title winners Manchester City’s level, they must strengthen their side even when it doesn’t seem necessary – just look at City’s £60m deal for Riyad Mahrez after becoming centurions.

A number of names have been linked to Liverpool, but few more frequently than Lille forward Nicolas Pepe.

Trusty RMC Sport journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi, who broke the news of Fabinho’s arrival last year, recently revealed that the Champions League winners are ‘well placed’ to land the Ivorian, whilst La Gazzetta dello Sport reporter Nicolo Schira believes that an €80m offer has been made (£71.4m). The idea of a bid being on the table already has been backed up by Le10Sport.

But just where has the Ivorian hotshot come from having burst out from mere obscurity just a few years ago?

As you can see from the graph above, Pepe’s career has gone from strength to strength with every season he has played – the one backwards step in terms of goals was when he made the step up to the top-flight, Ligue 1.

Pepe didn’t manage to score a goal in his first season as a professional despite making eight appearances.

However, it didn’t take long for him to find his feet the following term.

Seven goals in 30 appearances were the numbers to Pepe’s name in 2015/16 whilst on loan from Angers to US Orleans, and you could visibly see that the versatile forward was growing in confidence with every game he played.

His parent club took interest and integrated him into the first-team for the start of the 2016/17 Ligue 1 campaign, where Pepe slowly grew into top-flight football; his three goals in 39 games prove that the then 21-year-old star wasn’t an instant success.

However, that one campaign was all he needed.

The dangerous wide man, who can also play centrally, truly burst onto the scene in 2017/18, netting 14 goals in 38 appearances in what was his first season for Lille after completing a €10m move away from Angers.

Perhaps it was the change in environment and the fact that he had transferred to a bigger club that made Pepe really knuckle down and focus on his football.

Whatever was in the water at Lille, it was certainly having a good effect on him.

His most recent season to date, the 2018/19 campaign, was where Pepe caught the attention of Europe’s top clubs.

He struck an eye-catching 22 goals and set up 12 more as he helped Lille to an astonishing 2nd-place finish and a spot in the Champions League for next term.

It goes without saying that this is a player who is improving year after year; the transformation from a player who scored seven goals in Ligue 2 during the 2015/16 season has been incredible.

So just imagine what the 2019/20 campaign has in store for the Liverpool target, whether that’s spent at Anfield or somewhere else, and what levels his dramatic rise could reach next.

Bournemouth could be in for a very difficult summer as their star players continue to be linked with moves away from the Vitality Stadium. 

As well as Callum Wilson, £18m-rated David Brooks (Transfermarkt) is also now said to be a target for the Premier League elite, with The Sun reporting that Tottenham are interested in signing the 21-year-old.

But having signed a new long-term deal at the club back in March, Bournemouth are clearly under no pressure to sell one of their prized assets.

And from Brooks’ perspective, would a move to north London even make sense in this moment of time?

Of course, the chance to work under Mauricio Pochettino, who has done a fantastic job developing young players in the last few years, and play in the Champions League will be hard to turn down.

However, looking at all of the attacking talent Tottenham currently have, you could easily see Brooks struggling to find regular game time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Son Heung-min, Lucas Moura, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen are all quality players; displacing either will be no easy task.

Unless one of the above names leave, Brooks may be better off staying at the Vitality Stadium.

The Wales international can, of course, play in a deeper position. But considering how good Moussa Sissoko has been in midfield this season and the ability of Harry Winks, there are no guarantees there either.

For now, it is probably best for Brooks to continue his development under Eddie Howe.

Bournemouth fans, can the club keep hold of Brooks? Join the discussion by commenting below.

After 48 matches for Aston Villa and Derby this term, their seasons boil down to one remaining fixture.

On Bank Holiday Monday, the two teams meet today in the play-off final at Wembley. At stake? A place in the Premier League.

The financial implications make this one of the biggest games in football. The pressure couldn’t be higher as Dean Smith’s men take on Frank Lampard’s outfit in the capital.

Who will prevail is anyone’s guess.

What history tells us

Going into this tie most of the omens are on Aston Villa’s side. The Rams have only ever beaten them five times. In the process, they’ve rarely scored a goal either.

It’s a shambolic record for the Derbyshire club who will be hoping to erase those memories of times gone by.

The Villans have already put Derby to the sword on two occasions this term, defeating them 3-0 and 4-0 throughout 2018/19.

However, in terms of play-off finals, Lampard’s side may have the upper hand. They were victorious in the play-off final back in 2007 when a solitary goal from Matt Oakley was enough for them to see off West Brom.

Villa, on the other hand, tasted defeat at Wembley this time last year, losing to Fulham.

Key battle

Jack Grealish and Mason Mount have been two of the most exciting players to watch in the Championship this season and will therefore hold the key on Monday.

Much has been made about Grealish’s future with Villa after the 23-year-old attracted interest from the likes of Crystal Palace and Tottenham.

This may well be his last appearance in a Villa shirt. If it is he’ll be looking for a fitting send-off after already being named in the PFA Championship Team of the Year.

As for Mount, he’s been exceptional since arriving on loan from Chelsea. The midfielder averages a very healthy 2.5 shots per game and his goal threat, as well as his ability to pick a pass, will be massive if Derby are to have any chance of breaking down Villa’s barricades.

Ref in focus

Paul Tierney comes into the play-off final having only refereed one Championship clash all campaign, a 2-0 win for Bristol City over Stoke.

This will be the first major final he’s taken charge of, having only refereed an FA Youth Cup final in his career to date.

Tierney has only shown one red card all season so the omens are good in that regard. However, he does average quite a high percentage of bookings per game so that could be something to look out for, particularly with the play-off final likely to be a feisty affair.

Team news

Villa have two injury concerns going into the play-off final with Orjan Nylan definitely ruled out. James Chester is a doubt but it was highly unlikely he’d start anyway.

The main selection dilemma for Smith will come at right wing. In wide positions this term his players have been particularly inconsistent. Anwar El Ghazi has been the stand out performer so it’s assumed he’ll keep his place. On the right, however, Andre Green and Albert Adomah will be fighting for a starting place, but we expect the latter will replace the former in the XI today.

Conor Hourihane is likely to play over Glenn Whelan too. The latter made a horrendous error in the play-off semi-final first leg, gifting the ball to Dwight Gayle who then went onto score.

For Derby, their main issue will be at left back after Scott Malone was sent off against Leeds last time out.

That means that Ashley Cole will have a monumental task on his hands. At the age of 38, he’s been away from games of this magnitude for some time so will have to rely on all of his experience to keep Villa at bay.

Jack Marriott, scorer of two goals when Derby played Leeds, is set for his first start since March.
