If he joins a club like Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp could maximise his potential. Also, the Reds need more depth in their front three. Sarr could play as a back up to Sadio Mane. Meanwhile, he...

26y/o to return as Jose makes just a change: Predicted Spurs XI vs Palace
Tottenham Hotspur will look to secure a victory against Crystal Palace today in order to boost their chances of playing in Europe next term, and they will also need other results to go in their favour. Chelsea have to beat sixth-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers for Spurs to pip Nuno Espirito Santo’s team to what could be the last Europa League spot if Arsenal win the F.A Cup, and manager Jose Mourinho is expected to name a strong starting line-up in order to do his own part. While Jan Vertonghen could make his last appearance for Tottenham today, the Belgium international will most likely come off the bench, with Eric Dier likely to return to the defence following a four-match ban. That would see Toby Alderweireld make way for the England international, with Davinson Sanchez expected to keep...

Everton looking to sign São Paulo goalkeeper Lucas Perri
Everton are thought to be keen on signing the Sao Paulo goalkeeper Lucas Perri this summer. As per Joven Pan, the Toffees have made contact with the Brazilian club. It will be interesting to see if they follow up on the enquiry with a formal offer now. Jordan Pickford has been quite error-prone since moving to Goodison Park and it is no surprise that Everton are looking at other keepers. Pickford is a talented player but he needs to work on cutting out his mistakes. Also, he needs more competition for the starting berth. Lucas Perri is highly rated in Brazil and he could push Pickford for the starting berth next season. The 19-year-old has played in England with Crystal Palace (loan) before and he might be tempted to join a big club like Everton. The player has a €40m release clause and th...

Gilmour limped off during Tuesday’s 3-2 win over Crystal Palace following an innocuous collision with Luka Milivojević.

I spoke with him on Thursday and just offered him some support, really. “He’s a tough boy. It hit him hard – particularly as a young player who’s just made his breakthrough – but it’s part of football and I tried...
Gary Lineker reacts to Wilfried Zaha’s goal against Chelsea
Chelsea pipped Crystal Palace to a narrow 3-2 victory at Selhurst Park yesterday, with goals from Olivier Giroud, Christian Pulisic and Tammy Abraham securing all three points for the visitors. The Eagles attempted to come back twice after Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke both found the back of the net, but they were unlucky in their search for an equalizer, with Scott Dann’s back-post header striking the inside of the post in the closing minutes of the game. It was Palace’s 14th loss of the Premier League campaign, but it was one of their best attacking performances and manager Roy Hodgson will expect his side to bounce back and get a win when they visit Aston Villa on Sunday. Benteke finally scored at Selhurst Park for the first time since April 2018, but it was Zaha’s belter tha...
