‘Absolutely serious’: Henry Winter provides latest update on NUFC takeover
The Newcastle United takeover is turning out to be one hell of a saga where nobody knows what the outcome will be. George Caulkin of The Athletic and other reliable journalists have been telling us for the past couple of months that both the buyer and the seller are confident that the deal will go through. A deal in the region of £300 million has already been agreed between Mike Ashley and the Newcastle potential owners. The potential new owners have signed a contract and a part payment, that is non-negotiable, has been paid to Ashley as well. The would-be new owners – Amanda Staveley’s consortium — comprising her company PCP Capital Partners (10 per cent), the billionaire Reuben brothers (10 per cent) and the 80 per cent majority stakeholding of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment ...
Contact made: Arsenal step up their pursuit of £60 million Chelsea target
Arsenal have ramped up their interest in signing Lyon striker Moussa Dembele. The 23-year-old was strongly linked with a move to Chelsea earlier this month, but L’Equipe has claimed that the Gunners have now made contact with his representatives. Arsenal could be set to lose both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette this summer, potentially leaving them woefully short of forward options. The former Celtic and Fulham star has been hugely impressive since joining Lyon, scoring 42 goals in 88 appearances for the club in all competitions. The early curtailment of the season in France left Lyon outside the European qualification spots, sparking talk that they would need to sell some of their top players. Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas described the decision to cancel the 2019/20 ...
Alex Iwobi to face title chasing Liverpool on neutral ground
Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi and his Everton teammates will face title chasing Liverpool on a neutral ground as part of arrangements aimed at ending the coronavirus arrested season. Stakeholders have been working hand in gloves with a view to successfully concluding the season. South Yorkshire Police recommended that games in which Liverpool are involved be played on a neutral ground. The police did not stop there but underlined matches they would like to be played at neutral venues which could include Liverpool matches where the title could be won. Deputy Chief Constable Mark Roberts of South Yorkshire Police, the UK’s football policing lead, said in a statement issued to the PA news agency: “Our discussions with the Premier League throughout this process have been positive, with a sha...
Vincent Kompany turns down offer to be Pep Guardiola’s assistant
Vincent Kompany has turned down an offer from Manchester City to become Pep Guardiola’s assistant coach, according to various Belgian media reports on Friday. The former City captain is under contract as player-manager of Anderlecht until 2022, having left the Etihad Stadium last year following a trophy-laden 11-year spell in England. Kompany, who has never concealed his desire to one day be City manager, said he wanted to stay at Anderlecht. On Thursday, Belgium’s most successful club responded to recent financial difficulties as Wouter Vandenhaute took over from Marc Coucke as president. Anderlecht finished only eighth in the Belgian league season, which was curtailed by the coronavirus pandemic, their worst post-war position. City boss Guardiola has been looking for a new assistant sinc...
Premier League set to resume as Arsenal take on Manchester City
The Premier League action is set to resume on June 17 as Arsenal take on Manchester City in thir opening game. The teams that have played a game fewer than the rest will start the league when it resumes so that all the teams will be on the same page in terms of games played.

The main games will commence on June 20. Premier League teams have been training in small groups so far, limited to a maximum of five players, but it was agreed on Wednesday that the next phase can now be introduced with contact once again permitted.

Shanghai Shenhua ready to allow Odion Ighalo remain with Manchester United on one condition
Shanghai Shenhua are reportedly considering Odion Ighalo to stay at Manchester United beyond May, provided he sign a new contract with them. Ighalo’s currently six-month loan is set to expire in the next few days and the Premier League side are keen to keep the for another six months following his impressive performances. The Chinese side initially was only interested in discussing 20 million pounds of permanent transfer for the player, a price tag that United considered too excessive. However, the latest reports claimed Shanghai Shenhua is now ready to allow the player remain in England for the next six months but must sign a new deal that will tie him to the club for the next four years. Ighalo’s current deal in China is up in December 2022. The offer on the table is reportedly worth £40...
‘It will be a blast’: La Liga striker delivers verdict on potential NUFC takeover
Spanish striker Joselu has said that it will be a blast if the Newcastle United takeover goes through. The 30-year-old left the Magpies just a year ago to join Spanish club Alaves. Speaking to Spanish newspaper AS, Joselu has spoken highly of the club and the Magpies fans. Joselu was one of the poor signings made by former manager Rafael Benitez during his time at St James’ Park. The 30-year-old managed just seven goals in 52 league and cup appearances for Newcastle. The Spaniard has been enjoying his life in Spain where he has regained his scoring touch. He has netted nine goals in 26 La Liga appearances. “Newcastle is a very big club with an incredible fans. The stadium is spectacular and if this new project goes well it will be a blast,” Joselu said in an interview with AS. If...
Arsenal sanction sensational Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang swap deal
Arsenal have been linked with a sensational swap deal involving Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, while Mikel Arteta is intent on signing Philippe Coutinho, all in the Euro papers. Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo report that Arsenal will let Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Barcelona in a swap deal for Ousmane Dembele. Barca are willing to cut their losses on Dembele this summer and sell the forward for €50m, while the LaLiga club’s interest in Aubameyang is well documented. The Gabon striker’s contract expires next summer and Arsenal do not want to lose him for free and so are considering an exchange deal for Dembele. Arsenal have been tracking the injury-hit Dembele for some time and Mikel Arteta wants to get the former Borussia Dortmund man a chance in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Spanish outlet ...
Wilfred Ndidi: Why Leicester City move was very scary for me
Wilfred Ndidi claimed he saw his move to Premier League side Leicester City as an opportunity rather than getting carried away with pressure. After three seasons at Belgian top-flight side Genk, the Nigeria international joined the Foxes in a transfer deal worth £17 million. At that time, the King Power Stadium giants were reigning English champions, plus they needed a replacement for N’Golo Kante who had joined Chelsea on a five-year deal. The Frenchman played a starring role in Leicester’s English top-flight-winning campaign where he made 40 appearances while helping France reach the final of Euro 2016. Despite adapting to life quickly at the Luminus Arena after his move from Nigeria’s Nath Boys Academy, Ndidi said he saw an opportunity to ‘develop’, thus, embraced the burden of expectat...
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer counts on Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford for EPL restart
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Tuesday he is confident of having Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford fit should the Premier League season restart next month. Pogba has missed the majority of the campaign with an ongoing ankle injury, while Rashford seemed set to miss the rest of the season when he suffered a double stress fracture in his back in January. United returned to training in small groups last week and preparations are expected to be ramped up further for a return to action when Premier League clubs vote on resuming contact training on Wednesday. “Hopefully now we’ve proved we can do this safely and we can move to the next step. It’s been really enjoyable being on the training ground again,” said Solskjaer. “They (Pogba and Rashford) are looking good, they’ve jo...
