Pundit urges 24-yr-old PL attacker to join Celtic and ‘show everyone what a top player he is’
Former Premier League star and pundit Kevin Phillips has urged Bournemouth’s Jordon Ibe to join Celtic.

Report: €25m-rated defender on Everton’s radar, good terms between clubs could help seal transfer
Everton have been linked with Jean-Clair Todibo for a while now. The young Barcelona defender is on loan at Schalke right now and he has shown a lot of potential this season. His performances have attracted Everton’s interest and it will be interesting to see if the Toffees can secure his services soon.

He will get to sort out his long term future and finally con...

Why Timo Werner To Liverpool Doesn’t Make Sense
RB Leipzig’s star forward, Timo Werner has caught the eye of pretty much every football fan in this world. With his lightning pace and clinical finishing, the 24 year-old German international has been scoring for fun, with 30 goals to his name this season in all competitions for Leipzig.

All of these characteristics have made him hot property in the transfer window, as he has drawn interest from the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, and even Barcelona.

Report: Newcastle planning to beat North London duo to the signing of 26y/o winger

Phil Hay shares what Leeds and QSI have told him concerning takeover
Qatar Sports Investments have been linked with an interest in buying Leeds United since last year, and the cordial relationship between QSI chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani has continued to fuel speculations that a deal could be on the cards. The coronavirus pandemic hasn’t allowed negotiations to continue like they ought to, but they could resume with the English Championship expected to follow the Premier League in resuming its campaign next month. Leeds are top of the division and are huge favourites to seal top-flight promotion with nine games left, and the Elland Road club will definitely become more attractive to QSI if (more like when) that happens. A Leeds fan was keen to know how likely a sale is after promotion, and The Athletic’s Phil Hay shared the ...
Phil Hay claims ‘Leeds are looking at a Premier League keeper closely’ amid Hart links
According to The Athletic’s Phil Hay, Leeds United are looking at a Premier League goalkeeper closely, with Kiko Casilla almost certain to leave. The Spaniard received an eight-game ban in February for allegedly racially abusing Charlton Athletic forward Jonathan Leko last September, and Illan Meslier will remain in goal for the rest of the Championship season if it resumes. Burnley’s Joe Hart has been linked with Leeds, but Hay hasn’t had any reliable confirmation of the claims. Given the Whites’ style of play, head coach Marcelo Bielsa will definitely be looking at a ball-playing goalie, and the Manchester City hero isn’t particularly brilliant with his feet. Leeds and Casilla will discuss at the end of the season, but he will definitely leave should Meslier keeps imp...
