Schick
Everton and Tottenham linked with 25-yr-old who has been outstanding in the Euros
Tottenham Hotspur and Everton have been linked with a move for the Bayer Leverkusen striker Patrik Schick. The 25-year-old had an impressive season with the German club (13 goals) last year and he has followed it up with some outstanding performances for his country in the European Championships. Schick has got five goals in Euros with the Czech Republic and it is hardly surprising that he is being linked with a move to the Premier League. Both Tottenham and Everton could use some attacking depth and the 25-year-old could prove to be a quality addition for them. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the player could cost around €40 million. Leverkusen paid around €28 million for the striker last summer and it is understandable why they would look to make a considerable profit on him. Spurs ne...
Euro 2020: Matthijs de Ligt takes blame for Netherlands elimination
Netherlands defender Matthijs de Ligt said he felt he was the player to blame for his team’s Euro 2020 last-16 exit after being sent off in Sunday’s 2-0 loss to the Czech Republic. The Juventus centre-back was dismissed 10 minutes into the second half in Budapest for a deliberate handball after he was forced into an error by Czech striker Patrik Schick. As De Ligt fell to the ground he pushed the ball away from Schick to deny his opponent a goalscoring opportunity. He initially escaped with just a booking, but received a red card following a VAR review. “I had it under control. The ball came and I let it bounce. I fell to the ground and got pushed, which made me use my hands,” De Ligt told Dutch public broadcaster NOS. “The moment changed the game and I feel responsible. I saw how the guys...
Former Roma boss, online fan clash over Mo Salah sale
Four years after Mohammed Salah was sold to Liverpool for £35m a die-hard Roma fan has hauled pebbles at the decision describing it as undue emphasis on money over quality. Former Roma president James Pallotta locked horn with a fan who from all indication was ready to throw blows should the need arise. Salah has starred for Liverpool ever since leaving Roma in 2017 for £35m. The unamed fan took Pallotta online , suggesting it was all about money, claiming Roma only cared about Financial Fair Play regulations. He posted to social media: “Replacing Salah with [Patrik] Schick is confirmation of the inability of a company that constantly sells the best players. “You’re not good enough at turning omelettes, trust me.” Pallotta replied: “You still show ignorance by ignoring fact that Salah want...
10-goal attacker a ‘top target’ for Newcastle; Magpies keen on 7-goal PL midfielder as well
Newcastle are keen on signing the Roma striker Patrik Schick this summer. As per Daily Mail, the striker is a top target for the Magpies. Newcastle are thought to be looking at Norwich’s Todd Cantwell as well. Both players would improve them immensely in attack and it will be interesting to see if they can pull off those signings in the coming weeks. Currently, all of their plans are on hold because of the takeover issue. Unless the takeover goes through, Newcastle won’t be able to spend heavily on new players. It remains to be seen whether Ashley is successful in selling the club this summer. Schick was on loan at Leipzig this past season and he managed to impress in the Bundesliga. The 24-year-old has scored 10 goals in 15 starts for the German side. Meanwhile, Cantwell had a promising d...

It will be interesting to see if the German outfit decide to sign him permanently at the end of this season.
