What’s the word, then? Well, Soccer Link, via GFFN , report that Saints have made a formal enquiry for the highly-rated defender, who made 26 appearances in all competitions for the Ligue 1 outfit last term despite only celebrating his 18th birthday in March. GFFN have relaid information that the south coast outfit have joined Premier League rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United, who have made verbal offers of €30m (£27.4m) for the teenager, as well as La Liga trio Atletico Madrid, Real Betis and Valencia, in the chase for the young Frenchman’s signature.

Last season it took until November 3 rd for either of Newcastle United’s first choice strikers Ayoze Perez or Salomon Rondon to get off the mark. By that time Dwight Gayle had scored eight though admittedly in the Championship. This disparity was particularly pertinent of course because earlier that summer Rafa Benitez had decided to – temporarily at least – dispense with Gayle’s services opting to send the 28-year-old to West Brom for the season and bring in the Baggies’ Rondon in an unusual loan swap deal . By the autumn surely he was regretting this. The guy he let go was firing in goals for fun. The guy he brought in was misfiring on a weekly basis. Watch Newcastle United Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below Fast forward to the present day and though Benitez has now departed the Magpies seem intent on repeating their mistake, that of under-valuing the prolific nature of a striker they have under contract, and all while being in desperate need of fire-power.

Everton in talks with Chelsea over Kurt Zouma As confirmed by Times reporter paul Joyce on Thursday, Everton are still in the race to sign Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma. Readers are told the following: Contact with Chelsea over signing Kurt Zouma again following the success of last season’s loan deal continues, albeit with little indication, as yet, that they would be willing to sanction the France international’s departure at a time when they are constrained by a transfer ban. That fact that Chelsea seem to still be talking to Everton gives hope the Zouma deal may yet happen. However, Paul Joyce failed to note recent quotes from Zouma which revealed his plans to stay at Stamford Bridge this season. Zouma said : I enjoyed my time at Everton but I’m a Chelsea player and we’ll see what will happens in the future. I think it will be here at Chelsea. This is a chance for me. I went out on loan last season but I’m a Chelsea player and I want to do well to get my chance and be here. C

This article is part of Football FanCast’s The Chalkboard series, which provides a tactical insight into teams, players, managers, potential signings and more…  Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe struggled to play together last season, but the solution to the problem is already at Ibrox. His name is Scott Arfield. On the chalkboard Morelos and Defoe are both very good strikers and finding a way to get them both to thrive in the same system could give the Gers the ammunition to improve on last season’s second-place finish in the Premiership. The Colombian bagged 30 goals in his 48 appearances and the 36-year-old contributed to a goal every 76 minutes across his 20 games for the Gers last season. Despite both having incredible records though, neither did well with the other one on the park. Morelos is yet to score when starting alongside Defoe, who has only added two goals when they were both in the starting XI – the first in a defeat and the second a penalty . It may be a cas

A key part of the Premier League winning side with Leicester back in 2016, it’s safe to say that Danny Drinkwater’s career hasn’t quite gone to plan since making the move down south to Chelsea. The England international has been on the fringes of the Blues squad since making a big-money move to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2017, and last season was a complete and utter disaster for him. The 29-year-old’s solitary first-team appearance came in the Community Shield, and he was essentially forgotten about for the rest of the campaign. However, following the arrival of Frank Lampard as manager, Drinkwater has been called into action and has featured in four out of the five matches the Blues have played so far. The indoor football skills in the video below have to be seen to be believed… Reports had previously suggested Drinkwater could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge this summer, but The Evening Standard now claim that due to a lack of “concrete offers”, he looks set to

Paulo Dybala’s Man United wage demands Here’s the positive news for Man United. Paulo Dybala’s team are discussing the financial details of a proposed move to Old Trafford, which suggests Dybala is open to the switch from Juventus to United But are Man United willing to satisfy the Argentine’s requests? On Thursday, Onda Cero claimed Dybala was asking for 10 million euros a season in wages at the Theatre of Dreams. In Thursday’s edition of the Times, reporter Paul Joyce claims Dybala actually wants “a post-tax salary of about £10 million a year to move to Manchester United”. Broken down, that salary equates to £350,000 a week, which would make Dybala one of the highest paid players in the Premier League .

After an impressive loan spell at Aston Villa last season saw Axel Tuanzebe help the Midlands side to the Premier League, a new long-term contract was waiting at Old Trafford to be signed. The England U21 international duly put pen to paper on a new deal at Manchester United, and could have had some serious hope about potentially breaking into the Red Devils’ line-up for the upcoming campaign. However, The Daily Mail claim that Newcastle hold an interest in taking Tuanzebe to St James’ Park this summer, with the Magpies’ boss Steve Bruce already acquainted with the defender. It was Bruce who initially signed the 21-year-old on loan for Villa whilst he was manager at Villa Park, and the report claims that he would be keen on reuniting with the defender on Tyneside. The indoor football skills in the video below have to be seen to be believed… The Daily Mail add that United will not allow Tuanzebe to leave the club until they sign another central defender, and so a move for Harr

Lots of Everton fans have taken to Twitter to react after Idrissa Gueye’s move to Paris Saint-Germain was confirmed . The Senegal international joins the French champions in a deal worth £30m , signing a four-year contract with the Parisians who can offer Gueye a first taste of Champions League football since his days with Lille. Check out some amazing tekkers in the video below… The 29-year-old will be a major loss for the Merseysiders. He was named as the Players’ Player of the Season for his efforts last term, whilst no player completed more tackles per game than Gueye’s 2.7 in the Premier League last term. He departs Goodison Park after three years at the club, making 108 appearances since signing in a £7m deal from Aston Villa back in 2016. The 5 foot 9 midfielder will be extremely difficult to replace, and his exit has hit a few of the supporters on Twitter hard with a number of fans below feeling ‘gutted’ at the news.

What’s the word?

This article is part of  Football FanCast’s   Pundit View  series, which provides opinion and analysis on recent quotes from journalists, pundits, players and managers… Speaking to Sky Sports , Manchester United legend Patrice Evra has revealed how Ed Woodward’s broken promise on allowing him to leave in the summer of 2014 left him feeling “betrayed”. What did he say? The recently retired defender left the Red Devils for Juventus just two months after signing a one-year contract extension five seasons ago. Now, the former France international has opened up on how Woodward’s failure to honour an agreement had left him feeling hurt, and resolved his mind into making the decision to leave. He said : “Before the end of that season Ed told me: ‘Patrice, you’re going to stay for another year because we’ve got an option in your contract,’ but I told him I needed to leave because of family reasons.

Arsenal & Celtic’s Kieran Tierney: Agreement is close According to the Scottish Daily Mail on Wednesday, Arsenal seem to be on the verge of signing Celtic’s Kieran Tierney. Arsenal’s pursuit of Tierney has been going on for weeks. Indeed, Celtic manager Neil Lennon has publicly discussed Arsenal’s bids for the defender. Lennon has previously confirmed that Arsenal have failed to meet Celtic’s valuation. However, the Scottish Daily Mail today tell readers that Arsenal are to meet Celtic’s “magic number”. That figure is 25 million pounds. Stephen McGowan [Most reliable Journo covering Cetlic]: #AFC are set to meet Celtic’s £25m valuation for Kieran Tierney. Clubs were moving closer to agreeing a deal last night.

So, Shkodran Mustafi’s time at the Emirates may finally be reaching its end. The German has been the subject of much criticism in his time at Arsenal, and reports earlier this summer had indicated that Unai Emery had decided enough was enough with the centre-back. However, Laurent Koscielny’s shock refusal to go on the pre-season tour, along Rob Holding’s lack of fitness, seemingly saw rumours of Mustafi’s exit end up on the back-burner. But, according to BBC Sport journalist David Ornstein , the north London side are “in talks with a number of clubs” over Mustafi’s departure. He adds that whilst the Germany international is keen to stay and prove himself at the Emirates, the Gunners want either a permanent or loan move for the defender. After hearing the news of Mustafi’s possible exit, Arsenal fans took to Twitter to voice their opinion on the matter and many were seemingly relieved.

This article is part of  Football FanCast’s   Opinion  series, which provides analysis, insight and opinion on any issue within the beautiful game, from Paul Pogba’s haircuts to League Two relegation battles… Shkodran Mustafi’s Arsenal career has been plagued with horrific mistakes and embarrassing gaffes, and he has become the source of several memes on social media for his apparent ineptitude in defending. But, this summer has felt oddly different. It no longer feels like a running joke. It feels like the bitter end of a long drawn-out story. The German World Cup winner has been the subject of heavy criticism from fans and pundits alike, and most of it has been fairly understandable. The centre-back’s highlight reel of bloopers are worthy of making its way onto ‘You’ve Been Framed’, and it’s a rather fine effort on the part of the 27-year-old that he continues to think of new ways of shooting himself in the foot.

Shkodran Mustafi to Monaco for €30m If this happens, many Arsenal fans will be over the moon. L’Equipe have reported that Monaco are in talks with Arsenal regarding German centre-half Shkodran Mustafi. Mustafi joined Arsenal from Valencia back in 2016, agreeing a five-year deal with the Gunners. A 35 million pound signing, Mustafi is out of contract in 24 months time. But could Arsenal sell Mustafi before the close of this transfer window? With a €30 million valuation hung around his neck, L’Equipe (via GFFN) say Monaco are considering a move for Mustafi as their defender Jemerson is a target for AS Roma and Flamengo. Jemerson only has a year to run on his Monaco deal, at which point he can leave for free. AS Monaco have enquired for Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi, according to L'Équipe.

One of Manchester United’s most decorated players, Patrice Evra, announced his retirement from professional football to Gazzetta dello Sport (via BBC Sport ) at the age of 38. The former France international picked up five Premier League trophies in his time at Old Trafford, and played 379 games for the Red Devils after joining from AS Monaco in 2006. After hearing the news of Evra’s retirement, United fans flooded to Twitter to pay tribute to their former charge and many were keen to wish the former left-back well for the future.
