يتطلع البرتغالي جوزيه مورينيو، المدير الفني لفريق روما الإيطالي، لحسم صفقة من صفوف ليفربول الإنجليزي، خلال سوق الانتقالات الصيفي.

ووفقًا لموقع “كالتشيو ميركاتو” الإيطالي، يريد مورينيو تعزيز مركز الظهير الأيسر بفريق الجيلاروسي.

وضع مورينيو عينيه على اللاعب الدولي اليوناني كونستانتينوس تسيميكاس الذي سيبلغ 26 عامًا الأسبوع المقبل.

اللاعب انتقل من أولمبياكوس في صيف 2020 إلى ليفربول مقابل 13 مليون يورو، ولديه خبرات سابقة في الدنمارك وهولندا.

حتى الآن هذا الموسم، قدم 22 مباراة رسمية بقميص ليفربول، وقدم 6 تمريرات حاسمة لزملائه في ليفربول.

تسيميكاس لديه عقد مع ليفربول حتى يونيو 2025 وذكر التقرير أن مورينيو اختاره بصفة شخصية وحث مسؤولي روما على ضمه.

إنها بالتأكيد ليست المرة الأولى التي يتم فيها ربط اللاعب اليوناني الدولي بخطوة في الدوري الإيطالي، حيث كان قريبًا أيضًا من نابولي قبل اختياره لليفربول.

البحث عن ظهير أيسر سيكون مفاجئًا إلى حد ما، مع الأخذ في الاعتبار أن ليوناردو سبينازولا جاهز أخيرًا للعودة بعد ما يقرب من عام من تمزق وتر العرقوب خلال كأس الأمم الأوروبية 2020 في إيطاليا.

برز نيكولا زالوسكي أيضًا كموهبة ضخمة في هذا الدور، على الرغم من أنه ليس بالضرورة موقعه المفضل.

Aston Villa appear to have won the race for Fleetwood Town defender and reported Celtic target Josh Feeney, according to Birmingham Live.

The Lowdown: Celtic links

Feeney, England’s Under-16 captain, has been a man in demand in recent months.

Celtic, along with Villa, Leeds United Leicester City and Wolves were all credited with an interest in the centre-back last month.

Feeney, who stands at 6 foot 3, is yet to make a senior appearance for Fleetwood but appears to be on the move this summer.

The Latest: Villa visit

According to Birmingham Live, Villa is Feeney’s preferred destination despite being poised to move to Manchester United.

He visited Villa’s Bodymoor Heath training facility on Thursday which left Feeney’s representatives impressed.

It now seems as if a move to the Midlands is on the cards ahead of an Old Trafford switch.

The Verdict: Could have been a Hjelde replacement?

Leeds United have been linked with a move for Hoops teenager Leo Hjelde in recent days, so Feeney could well have been an ideal replacement for the Norwegian.

Hjelde, who has 12 months remaining on his Parkhead deal, was tipped as ‘the next Virgil van Dijk’ by former Ross County manager John Hughes last season.

It seems as if Celtic could lose him, so adding Feeney may have been perfect – the amount of interest the Englishman has attracted suggests he too is quite the prospect.

It doesn’t look as if a move to Scotland will materialise, though, and Aston Villa may well have got themselves a future star in Feeney.

Arsenal could be making a change at right-back next season…

What’s the word?

According to 90min, Norwich City gem Max Aarons is one of several names the Gunners have interest in this summer and it’s not the first time that he’s been linked with a switch to the Emirates Stadium.

Back in May, journalist Freddie Paxton, who has been featured on the Guardian and the Independent, claimed that the North London outfit have been tracking the 21-year-old for several years and that the club considers him a long-term replacement for Hector Bellerin.

He’s expected to cost in the region of £30m.

Bye-bye Bellerin?

This interest certainly could spell the end for Bellerin after nearly a decade at the club.

Fabrizio Romano has suggested that there are ‘huge chances’ the Spaniard is sold this summer, with Paris Saint-Germain interested in the past and his price tag now set at €20m (£18m).

Aarons would be a pretty nice replacement as he’s a player with a ton of potential and one that could instantly fulfil Bellerin’s homegrown spot in the squad, so it seems like a win-win.

During the Canaries’ last stint in the top-flight, the England U21 international thrived, so it was a surprise to see him remain at Carrow Road instead of following teammate Ben Godfrey back into the Premier League.

He’s continued to impress, seeing his 6.55 average rating rise to 6.93, which sees him rank seventh overall in Daniel Farke’s squad. The German put a lot of faith in Aarons as he played more minutes than any other player.

“In my eyes, he is not the young Max Aarons, he is just a special player and he has an unbelievable future,” Farke told reporters in December. “I know he has been labelled as one of the best young players in this league. Well, I told him we can reject this label now because he is no longer one of the best young players, he is one of the best players.”

The £20m-rated dynamo would fit Mikel Arteta’s system very well, being a more attack-minded full-back. He averaged 1.4 key passes and 1.4 dribbles per league outing in 2020/21, via WhoScored, which suggests he likes to get forward to be a major source of creativity.

By comparison, Bellerin only managed an average of 0.8 key passes and 0.5 dribbles per game, and was often snubbed in favour of Cedric.

On the above evidence, you can see why Arteta and Edu appear to be gunning for a change at right-back and a move for Aarons could be a very smart one come to next season.

A number of Sheffield United supporters have been calling for Luke Freeman to stay put this summer, following his return from a loan spell.

The Blades are preparing for life back in the Championship, following a disappointing season in the Premier League.

United never got going in 2020/21, having excelled so much under Chris Wilder the previous year, eventually finishing rock-bottom of the table.

Attention now turns to potential incomings and outgoings at Bramall Lane this summer, as new manager Slavisa Jokanovic looks to work his magic and spark an immediate return to the top flight.

One player whose future is up in the air is Freeman, who spent last season on loan at Nottingham Forest, making 23 appearances in the Championship.

Forest aren’t expected to take up the offer to make the 29-year-old’s move permanent, and according to the Sheffield Star, Jokanovic will give him a chance to impress in pre-season.

Sheff Utd fans wants Freeman to stay put

These Blades fans took to Twitter calling for Freeman to stay at the club beyond the summer, talking up his quality.

In other news, Brian Deane has urged Sheff Utd to keep hold of one player this summer. Find out who it is here.

Paul Cook could strike gold with a deal to sign QPR attacker Albert Adomah this summer, as Ipswich fans would likely love him.

What’s the talk?

According to Football League World, the striker is considering his options ahead of the summer transfer window and could leave the R’s to join a new club. Adomah has fallen out of favour at QPR and could now depart from his boyhood club in search of regular game-time elsewhere.

The report claims that Ipswich, Derby, Luton, Bristol City and Birmingham are all monitoring his situation and would be interested in signing him if the opportunity comes up. Ipswich manager Cook is looking to strengthen his squad in the upcoming window and the 33-year-old is a player he is said to be keen on bringing to Portman Road.

Back in 2016, Jonathan Kodjia – a team-mate of Adomah at Villa at the time – praised the “skilful” winger, explaining how important he is on and off the pitch.

He told Aston Villa’s official website: “Albert is very quick, very skilful, a good dribbler, he sets up goals, he scores goals. He’s a real asset to this team – that’s out there on the pitch and in the dressing room, too.

“He has a very strong mentality also. You cannot underestimate this quality. Without a strong mentality, you cannot succeed in professional football.”

Fans would love him

Ipswich fans would surely love Adomah at Portman Road as the Blues have struggled for creativity. In the 2020/21 campaign, Gwion Edwards’ tally of four assists was the highest any Ipswich player managed in League One in terms of setting up goals for team-mates. Myles Kenlock, James Norwood and Edwards were the only Blues players with more than two assists in the league, which suggests that Cook faces a shortage of creative talent within his squad.

Adomah provided five assists for QPR in the Championship despite only starting seven games in the division. Throughout his career, he has provided five or more assists in eight separate Championship campaigns for the various clubs he has represented.

In the 2016/17 campaign, Adomah racked up 11 assists for Aston Villa, before scoring 14 goals in the second tier the following season. This shows the quality he can provide in terms of creativity at Championship level, which suggests that he could have an even greater influence down in League One.

The £12,500-per-week winger could therefore be an upgrade on what Cook already has at Ipswich. His trickery out wide could offer more flair and creativity in the final third of the pitch, which may excite fans and get them on the edge of their seats when he has the ball.

If Ipswich can get the deal done, Adomah could be a superb signing for the Blues and give them a boost to their promotion hopes for the 2021/22 season.

أثار المدير الفني لمنتخب ويلز، روبرت بيج، التكهنات حول مشاركة اللاعب جاريث بيل في مباراة الغد أمام منتخب جهورية التشيك.

وكان جاريث بيل بطل الفوز على النمسا، يوم الخميس الماضي، حيث سجل هدفين وكان نجم المباراة.

ولكن لم يسر الأمر بشكل جيد حتى النهاية، حيث عانى لاعب ريال مدريد من آلام شديدة في الفخذ.

وفي تصريحاته قبل مباراة الغد، أكد روبرت بيج أن جاريث بيل لن يشارك في مباراة الغد في التشكيل الأساسي، بينما تحوم التكهنات حول إمكانية استخدامه كبديل.

وقال في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “ovacion” الإسبانية: “كان لديه 95 دقيقة صعبة للغاية ضد النمسا، غدًا سنقرر ما إذا كان سينضم إلى الفريق أم لا، في البداية لن يلعب”.

West Ham United have another new striker on their shortlist ahead of the summer…

What’s the word?

According to Eurosport, the Irons are tracking Atalanta forward Duvan Zapata ahead of the upcoming window as they fear Tammy Abraham could be out of reach financially.

It’s claimed that David Moyes will have around £35m to spend on a new forward but that is still short of Chelsea’s £40m valuation, and that’s on top of his desired £140k-per-week wages.

Zapata provides an interesting alternative and sits alongside Brentford talisman Ivan Toney and Sparta Prague’s Adam Hlozek on Hammers’ priority list.

Sign him up

If Abraham is too expensive, then Moyes should absolutely target the Serie A goal machine instead. It’s no secret that his squad needs another forward and at the very last that’s one extra frontman.

GSB never replaced Sebastian Haller after sanctioning his exit during the January transfer window after just 18 months at the London Stadium, meaning the Scottish manager was left with an injury-prone Michail Antonio as his only senior option.

The 30-year-old powerhouse has proven to be a prolific marksman in Italy throughout his career and this season he has been in fine form, providing 18 goals and 12 assists in all competitions, via Transfermarkt.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-latest-west-ham-transfer-rumours-gossip-team-injury-news-gsb-update” title= “Read the latest West Ham news, transfer rumours, gossip and more!”]

That has taken his overall tally for Atalanta to a whopping 65 strikes in only 126 appearances, which is around a goal every other game.

His physical attributes make for the most appeal as at 6 foot 2, he has the stature to cause many Premier League defences nightmares, and that is something that his former teammate, Papu Gomez, alluded to last season.

Speaking on Instagram (via Goal), he claimed:

“Zapata’s shorts look like underwear, he is so big. Sometimes I don’t even want to get close to him in a match because he’s a beast and it hurts. When he is feeling good he’s like a train – you throw the ball forward and ‘ciao!'”

Furthermore, ex-Colombia boss Jose Pekerman praised Zapata after his international debut and suggested that they “need him with his power.” He has since gone onto land 16 caps for his national side.

It remains to be seen how much of that £35m would be eaten up by a move for the Atalanta sensation but given CIES value him at €30m (£26m), he should certainly come a lot cheaper than Abraham, who is yet to deliver as consistently as Zapata.

Moyes will also finally get another option up front, ending the nightmare of the last few months.

Former Leeds United midfielder Carlton Palmer has told Football FanCast in an exclusive interview that he expects teams to try and get Bamford out of Elland Road in the near future.

This comes amid reported interest in the 27-year-old striker, with The Athletic (via TEAMtalk) claiming that Liverpool are keen on a potential summer swoop.

Bamford has really impressed for the Whites this season, recently reaching the 15-goal mark in the Premier League after he scored against Tottenham to help inspire his side to a brilliant 3-1 victory.

And now Palmer is expecting clubs to have a good look at him as they try to bolster their squads.

Speaking exclusively to FFC about Bamford, the ex-Leeds player said:

“I mean, listen, clubs will look at him and think, ‘we could get him out for decent money and he’s a good squad player to have.’ “

The same Athletic report also states that Bamford secretly signed a contract extension last summer, keeping him at the club until 2023, so there is probably no reason for Leeds to panic.

But with Jurgen Klopp clearly a fan of the player, describing him as “exceptional”, this reported interest certainly does sound plausible.

Roberto Firmino has not been among the goals this season, so Liverpool may very well move for a new No.9 this summer.

قال مرتضى منصور رئيس مجلس إدارة نادي الزمالك، إنه سيتم تطهير قناة القلعة البيضاء بعد الاجتماعات التي عقدت مع الشركة الراعية.

وأضاف في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “الحدث اليوم”: “سأتقدم غدًا بشكوى ضد باتريس كارتيرون إلى فيفا، كارتيرون يجهز للهروب مجددًا، وبدلًا من أن يرسل رسالة صوتية لوكيل أعماله حازم فتوح، أرسلها بالخطأ لأمير مرتضى منصور، كارتيرون كان يقول لوكيل أعماله لا دور لك، (أنا مني لرئيس النادي السعودي)”.

وواصل: “سنتعاقد مع مدرب أجنبي، وكارتيرون هو الذي فسخ عقده، (هو اللي خان)، واتخذنا قرار تعيين أسامة نبيه كمدرب عام، وأحمد عبد المقصود مدرب مساعد، ومعهما أيمن طاهر مدرب حراس مرمى”.

واستكمل: “أقول للبعض لا آخذ تعليمات من أحد، مع احترامي لأحمد حسام ميدو فهو لا يعطي لي تعليمات، لو كلام ميدو خطأ لن نفعله”.

وتابع: “قررت عدم إصدار أي قرارات قبل مباراة الوداد المغربي، نظرًا لوجود من يتصيدون لي، أنا لست تلميذًا، والحساب بعد المباراة، وكل ما يفكر فيه جمهور الزمالك أفكر فيه وأكثر، لأنني تحملت استفزازت لم يتحملها بشر من كارتيرون”.

وكشف: “(الدنيا خراب) في الزمالك، أقول لجمهور الزمالك تسلمت النادي (خراب)”.

وواصل: “لا أظلم أحدًا يا ميدو في مستحقات أشرف بن شرقي ومحمد أوناجم، معظم اللاعبين حصلوا على جزء من مستحقاتهم”.

وعن مشادة مباراة الزمالك والوداد قال: “أدعو الشاب المغربي حامل الكرات مع عائلته على نفقتي الخاصة وليس نادي الزمالك، أن يأتوا لزيارة مصر مع فريق الوداد المغربي وحضور المباراة”.

وأردف: “التصرف الذي فعله مدحت عبد الهادي أساء لمصر، شعبنا ليس بلطجيًا، سأتواصل غدًا مع السفير المصري في المغرب”.

واختتم بالحديث عن استبعاد مدحت عبد الهادي وأمير عزمي مجاهد قائلاً: “عندما يكون الرجل كسولاً ونائمًا، عليكما توجيه اللاعبين بدلًا من ضرب حامل الكرات”.

يذكر أن الزمالك خسر أمام الوداد بثلاثة أهداف مقابل هدف في الجولة الثالثة من دور مجموعات دوري أبطال إفريقيا، ليتوقف رصيد الفارس الأبيض عند نقطتين في المركز الثالث.
