Arsenal will have to pay £100m if they want to sign Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha this summer, according to The Daily Mail.

Zaha is reportedly one of Unai Emery’s big summer transfer targets, but a deal now seems a fair distance away after this latest report.

The paper say that Palace are not keen on selling both Zaha and Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the same transfer window and will now protect against his departure by placing a nine-figure valuation on his shoulders.

Check out the video below to find out why Arsenal fans aren’t celebrating Spurs’ UCL final defeat as much as they’d like…

With the Gunners’ spending power said to be limited this summer, it means a deal looks all but dead for the 26-year-old.

Zaha scored ten goals and assisted ten more in the Premier League last season, proving to be an effective attacking threat and someone who might be able to make the step up to a top six side.

At the reported £100m though, his price is steep and many Arsenal fans simply don’t want to see the club pay it.

According to The Mirror, Leicester are eyeing a move for Crystal Palace’s Andros Townsend this summer.

What’s the word?

Townsend’s 2018/19 campaign was very understated. It was his best scoring season to date and he even found the net with one of the goals of the season.

Back in December, the wide man let fly from range with a rasping volley which beat Manchester City’s Ederson from outside the penalty area.

If fans of the Foxes need a reminder of the player they might be getting then all they need to do is rewatch that strike.

The winger has been a reliable performer for the Eagles of late and it’s that consistency which may now see him move to pastures new.

The Mirror claim that Brendan Rodgers is set to test Palace’s resolve for Townsend in a deal which could cost around £14m.

Creative spark

At times he has a habit of being a frustrating player, but there are reasons to suggest he could be the man to finally solve Leicester’s problems from the flanks.

Over the season that’s just played out, the former England international found the back of the net on nine occasions in all competitions. He also helped himself to four assists.

Given the Eagles’ lack of attacking nous, this is a fine return for a player who is now entering his prime years.

In recent weeks, Leicester have shown interest in Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Kevin Augustin but whether they’d cut it in the Premier League is open for debate.

Townsend, however, has already shown he’s capable of performing in the division. It would be a safe signing, but considering the lack of risk, it’s a no brainer.

Demarai Gray and Rachid Ghezzal lacked much end product under Claude Puel and Rodgers, meaning Townsend’s potential arrival would be particularly beneficial.

Over recent terms, the 27-year-old had problems with consistency himself but that was put to bed in 2018/19, finding himself involved in 13 goals.

It’s that productivity in the final third that can end Leicester’s troubles when attacking down the flanks.

Considering some of the fees the Midlands club have paid over previous transfer windows, £14m would be a snip to bring Townsend to the King Power.

Watching Arsenal attempting to sign a winger last January was one of the most amusing transfer sagas of the window.

From trying to sign Ivan Perisic on loan to end up getting Denis Suarez was truly entertaining for neutrals as Arsenal signed a player who only played just over an hour of football come the end of the season, but there was one other name in the mix for the majority of the winter window.

Former Atletico Madrid winger Yannick Carrasco was a surprise name to be linked with a move to north London, with the now Dalian Yifang attacker seemingly open with a move back to Europe after a year in China, but nevertheless, a move failed to materialise, but recent comments have perked up Arsenal fans and Unai Emery.

Speaking to the Sun, Carrasco admitted that Arsenal did make a move for him in January and he is ready to move back to Europe after struggling to adapt to life in China and that the Premier League is an ideal destination for the Belgian international.

Arsenal are in need of a winger this summer with Alex Iwobi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan the club’s only natural wide players and both wingers not exactly being the quality Emery wants, and because of this, Carrasco should be a major priority.

The winger has been in good form this season in the Chinese Super League, scoring seven and assisting another in the first nine games of the 2019 campaign, and with Dalian Yifang likely to cash in on Carrasco after these recent comments, Arsenal need to move in quick if they are to secure the signature of a player who has what it takes to flourish in north London.

Arsenal fans, will Carrasco be a good summer signing? Let us know!

Newcastle fans cannot take their eyes off the takeover rumours swirling around the club, but they are not forgetting what is really important either – the future of Rafael Benitez.

A report from The Sun sent Twitter into meltdown over the weekend, claiming that Mike Ashley has agreed to sell the Magpies.

Since then, there has been countless conflicting rumours and reports, with the truth about Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nehayan’s attempted takeover of the club probably somewhere in the middle.

The Toon Army have been here before though, and while this is certainly not just another ploy from Ashley to avoid spending money in the transfer market, there are some who are concerned it is a distraction from the future of Benitez.

The Spaniard has worked wonders with a sub-standard squad at St. James’ Park, and will be out of contract at the end of next month.

The Evening Chronicle have confirmed talks have taken place for a new deal, but with no concrete progress yet, fans on Twitter are desperate for developments.

Have a look at the Twitter reactions down below…

اختار فاروق جعفر لاعب الزمالك السابق البديل الأنسب لتعويض غياب محمد صلاح نجم منتخب مصر والمحترف في صفوف ليفربول الإنجليزي بعد إصابته بفيروس كورونا.

اتحاد الكرة أعلن عن إصابة محمد صلاح بفيروس كورونا، وخضع اللاعب لمسحتين من أجل التأكد من إيجابية حالته. طالع التفاصيل.

وقال جعفر في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر فضائية “الزمالك”: “محمد صلاح  يعتبر حالة فريدة في الملاعب العالمية، غياب اللاعب مؤثر بالطبع ومن الصعب تعويضه”.‏

وتابع: “أرى أن أحمد سيد زيزو لاعب الزمالك هو أنسب حل لتعويض غياب صلاح بعد إصابته”.

وأختتم: “زيزو حصل على ثقة كبيرة بعد تألقه في المباريات الأخيرة مع الزمالك وقادر على تعويض صلاح”.

جدير بالذكر أن منتخب مصر يستعد لمواجهة نظيره توجو غدًا السبت في إطار الجولة الثالثة من التصفيات المؤهلة لأمم إفريقيا بالكاميرون.

Aaron Ramsey’s recent heroics for Arsenal will sting fans even more due to the fact he’s leaving after this season.

Indeed, after being somewhat undervalued throughout his career at the Gunners, the Welsh wizard’s decided to move onto better things at Juventus.

So, now Unai Emery’s side are in a dilemma. They definitely need an adequate replacement for the multi-functional Ramsey but may not be able to spend big for it, with the Daily Mail reporting earlier this season that the Spanish coach would be on fairly tight budget restraints this summer.

Well, according to reports from Italian outlet TMW, the North London giants are looking to sign a former Sevilla student of Emery in the World Cup-winning Steven N’Zonzi.

They had worked together in Spain during the Spanish manager’s successful years at Sevilla, with whom he won multiple UEFA Europa League trophies. However, since then, their path’s haven’t been equally successful. While Emery’s maintained his impressive run, the former Blackburn Rovers ace has fallen off the grid in Serie A.

In a disappointing season for Roma, the Les Blues ace has been among the underperforming players. He’s given a series of terrible performances, being outwitted in midfield by the league’s technicality. Indeed, he’s looked quite uncomfortable in the Italian capital, proving unable to make an impact using his towering presence in 27 league appearances.

Though he looked impressive for Sevilla, it’d be foolish for Arsenal to try and sign someone else’s scraps.

The 30-year-old is too slow and inconsistent to match their electric style under Emery. While the Spanish gaffer’s fond of the Frenchman, even he would know the midfielder isn’t the solution to his problems. The Gunners need to get younger, not relying on struggling fairly big names.

Arsenal fans, would you be happy with N’zonzi’s potential arrival this summer? Join the discussion by commenting below…

وقال أدريان في تصريحات للموقع الرسمي لـ ليفربول: “كنت أتوقع هذا الأداء من فابي، إنه لاعب كبير، وكبار اللاعبين يتأقلمون في أكثر من مركز، هذا ليس شيئًا جديدًا بالنسبة له لأنه لعب من قبل في هذا المركز الموسم الماضي”.

وأضاف: “حتى في موناكو قبل أن يأتي إلى ليفربول، قدم فابي مستوى مميزا في مركز قلب الدفاع، لعب عدة مرات، لديه ما يكفي من الجودة، كما أنه يضيف الكقير للاعبين الشباب”.

وأردف: “جوتا أيضًا قدم أداء مميزا، يؤدي بشكل جيد، منذ اللحظة الأولى له مع الفريق، أظهر السرعة والجودة، من خلال المراوغات والتسديد والشخصية في الملعب، أعتقد أنه سيساعدنا كثيرًا في المباريات المقبلة”.

وعن مواجهة شيفيلد مساء اليوم: “إنه فريق صعب، يدافعون جيدًا للغاية، وسريعون ويستخدمون الكثير من الكرات الثابتة بطريقة صحيحة، ولديهم سرعة وكثافة كبيرة”.

واختتم: “ستكون مباراة قوية، علينا أن نقدم أفضل أداء من أجل ليفربول، ونستمر في الحصول على النقاط، من أجل الدوري الممتاز، لأن هذا هو هدفنا مرة أخرى”.

Loads of Celtic fans have been revelling in the aftermath of Sunday’s Old Firm, and they absolute adore Scott Brown’s post-game comments.

Odsonne Edouard was once again the hero on Sunday and Brown was once again the centre of attention.

Edouard, who now has four goals in five derbies against the Gers, buried a lovely finish to put his side in front before Alfredo Morelos was sent off for an incident involving Brown.

Former Wigan & Fulham man, Jimmy Bullard recently showed that he’s still got it! Check out the video below…

The Colombian lashed out at the Hoops skipper and was promptly given his marching orders, and it was not until the 63rd minute that the visitors registered a shot on target, as Ryan Kent levelled the scores with their first effort on goal.

James Forrest then continued his excellent season, pouncing on a mistake from James Tavernier and making no mistake in front of goal.

There was then more controversy after the game, as Brown’s decision to celebrate near the Rangers fans sparked a small brawl.

Andy Halliday was sent off as a result, and Brown told Sky Sports after the game: “He came up to congratulate me.”

Those six words were followed by a cheeky little smile, and Celtic fans are absolutely loving it.

وحسب صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الإسبانية، فإن إد وودوارد الرئيس التنفيذي لـ مانشستر يونايتد لعب دورًا كبيرًا في حسم صفقة ديمبلي لصالح الشياطين الحمر.

وأوضحت أن وودوارد تواصل بشكل شخصي مع ديمبلي وممثليه لبحث فكرة انتقاله إلى الأولد ترافورد، هذا الصيف.

وأشارت إلى أن المحادثات بين الطرفين دامت لفترة طويلة، حيث حاول وودوارد إقناعه طوال تلك المدة.
