Victor Ezeji warns against rating Victor Osimhen higher than Simy Nwankwo
Former Nigeria international Victor Ezeji believes it will be wrong to focus just on Napoli forward Victor Osimhen for the new Serie A season without paying attention to his countryman Simy Nwankwo at Crotone. Osimhen has been making headlines beyond the Campania capital following his big-money move from Lille. So much attention has been placed on the 21-year-old such that he has been tipped in some quarters to walk in the shoes of club greats like Diego Maradona, Edinson Cavani and Gonzalo Higuain. Ezeji says that the quality of the Napoli squad and Osimhen’s eagerness to impress makes him the obvious pick between the two Nigerians. “Osimhen is younger than Simy. Then you also have to consider the quality of players in Napoli and the quality of players in Crotone,” the Caf Champions Leagu...
Gareth Bale: Real Madrid blocked my return to Premier League
Gareth Bale has accused Real Madrid of making it “very difficult” to leave the Spanish club as the Wales forward looks to end his Bernabeu exile. Bale is out of favour with Real manager Zinedine Zidane and played just 48 minutes of Madrid’s 12 games when the Spanish season resumed after the coronavirus lockdown. Zidane, who has feuded with Bale throughout his two spells in charge, said the winger did not want to play in last season’s Champions League last-16 second-leg tie at Manchester City. Bale has two years left on his Real contract, but there appears little chance he will force his way into the manager’s plans. The 31-year-old almost joined Chinese Super League club Jiangsu Suning in 2019 before Real pulled the plug on the deal, a decision that still irks Bale. “I think the club needs...

Pirlo, who replaced Maurizio Sarri, said that he will allow the former Real Madrid striker to leave this summer. The Italy legend described the former Argentina international Higuain as a great player, but it looks like the 32-year-old’s spell with the Serie A champions is coming to an end.

Aston Villa, West Ham linked with move for Gonzalo Higuain
Aston Villa and West Ham United have been linked with a move for the Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain. The Argentine is expected to leave the Italian club this summer and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. The highly experienced striker had a forgettable spell in the Premier League with Chelsea and it is highly unlikely that he will return to England once again. There is no doubt that Aston Villa and West Ham need to sign a quality striker this summer but the 32-year-old might not be the ideal fit for them. As per reports, Juventus are looking to get rid of the player. Higuain is past his peak and his style of play is unlikely to suit West Ham or Aston Villa. The two clubs should look to sign a complete forward instead of a poacher. Gonzalo Higuain is better off joining a club...
Newcastle reportedly want Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammate Rafael Benitez described as ‘top-class’
According to TuttoJuve, Newcastle United are interested in signing Gonzalo Higuain from Juventus in the summer transfer window. It has been reported that Newcastle could make an offer for the former Real Madrid striker this summer. The report has added that Juventus will offload the Argentine striker on a loan deal if a club are willing to pay his annual salary of €7.5 million (£6.75m) in full. Stats Higuain has been on the books of Juventus and has done well for the Bianconeri, but with his former Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo joining the Italian powerhouse in the summer of 2018, he has struggled to hold the same kind of importance. The 32-year-old spent the first half of the 2018-19 campaign on loan at AC Milan and the second half on loan at Chelsea. The Argentine striker – described...
