‘Why not?’: Peter Crouch has made a bold claim about Leeds United
Peter Crouch has suggested in the Daily Mail that Leeds United can challenge for European qualification next season. Leeds returned to the Premier League for the first time in 16 years this term, and they have done incredibly well under Marcelo Bielsa. The Whites are likely to finish within the top half of the table, and Crouch feels that they have the potential to challenge for European spots next season. The popular football pundit suggests what could work in their favour is that with no European football to focus on, they can properly attack the top six. Crouch has also suggested that Leeds must sort out Bielsa’s contract situation and wants the Argentine to sign an extension. “I love watching Leeds play and they were superb on Saturday, fully deserving their win over Tottenham,” ...
‘West Ham were the dark horses’: Peter Crouch delivers verdict on Liverpool’s top four chances
Peter Crouch has suggested in the Daily Mail that Liverpool have a good chance of finishing in the Premier League top four this season. The race to secure the Champions League spot is intense, with five teams fighting for the top-four spot. Liverpool are sixth in the table with 57 points from 34 games. They are six points behind Leicester City and seven behind Chelsea, having played a game less. West Ham United are also in the mix. They are five points behind fourth-placed Leicester. If Liverpool win their game in hand, the Reds will overtake the Hammers and reduce the gap on the Foxes to three points. Crouch has suggested that Liverpool’s 2-0 victory against Southampton has pulled them back in the race, and they have a good chance of making it. The popular football pundit has claime...
‘Not a chance’ – Peter Crouch comments of Arsenal’s winning chance vs Villarreal
Former Tottenham Hotspur striker turned popular football pundit Peter Crouch says it is difficult to back Arsenal to win the Europa League semi-final against Villarreal. Arsenal lost 2-1 against Villarreal in the first leg of the tie, but they were outplayed for large parts of the game in Spain. During a Q/A session with the Daily Mail, Crouch pointed out that the Gunners have plenty of problems but believes their victory in the Premier League over the weekend could give them a boost. Crouch wrote for the Daily Mail: “On one hand, I look and see a club where there is a lot of things wrong. On the other, I see a team who have the ability to get a win when they really need one. “Villarreal had enough chances to kill the first leg, but Arsenal being Arsenal, they could end up getting aw...
‘I have no doubt’: Crouch want West Ham to clinch ‘amazing value’ deal for £20m player
Peter Crouch has suggested that Manchester United could demand £20 million for Jesse Lingard. The popular football pundit has claimed in a Q/A column for the Daily Mail that he doesn’t think Lingard should return to Old Trafford. The England international was frozen out at United and eventually sealed a move to West Ham on loan in the January transfer window. He has made a tremendous impact for the Hammers, scoring eight goals and three assists in the Premier League. Crouch feels that United wanted “him to go out and show himself to potential suitors.” In that case, there’s no point for Lingard to come back to Old Trafford and find himself in a situation where he is used as a bit-part player. It has been reported that West Ham are ready to do anything to sign Lingard, while there has ...
‘It won’t happen’: Peter Crouch makes bold claim on Tottenham man’s future next season
Peter Crouch has suggested that Harry Kane may not get his wish to move away from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window. Many pundits have suggested or discussed whether Kane should consider leaving the club this summer if Spurs fail to secure a spot for the Champions League next season. Spurs lost ground in the Premier League top-four race after losing 3-1 against Manchester United on Sunday, and the focus has once again shifted back on Kane’s future. David Ornstein of The Athletic has reported that Kane is on Manchester United’s radar, but the Red Devils won’t be paying £120 million for him. Well, that’s the figure doing the rounds in the market. However, it could be more, given Kane has still three years left on his present deal. In a Q/A session for the D...
Aston Villa interested in signing Liverpool youngster
Aston Villa are interested in signing the Liverpool youngster Rhian Brewster this summer. The 20-year-old striker was on loan at Swansea City last season and he managed to score 11 goals for them. Brewster needs to leave the club in order to play regular first-team football and it will be interesting to see if the likes of Villa can agree on a fee with Liverpool in the coming weeks. According to Independent, Sheffield United are keen on signing the young striker as well and they have already spoken to the Reds regarding a move. Liverpool value the young striker at £25 million and they are hoping to insert a buy-back clause in the contract if Brewster is sold this summer. Such a deal would be ideal for Liverpool as it would allow the player to develop with the regular first-team football el...
