Chelsea have now joined the race for a “top” goalkeeper, who has been recommended by club legend Didier Drogba, according to a report.

Maresca's goalkeeper problem at Chelsea

Goalkeeper has been a problem position for Enzo Maresca this season, with the manager rotating between Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen, who have both made errors leading to goals in the Premier League.

Sanchez has made four costly mistakes, which have made the Spaniard the subject of some heavy criticism, and it now appears as though Maresca could look to bring in a replacement in the summer transfer window.

AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan is one of the most recent players to join the shortlist, with the Frenchman potentially set to be available for just £34m, given that his contract is set to expire in the summer of 2026.

The Blues have set their sights on a defender, but there could be fierce competition for his signature…

The Blues have made contact over a deal for Maignan, indicating the AC Milan shot-stopper is a serious target for Maresca, but an alternative option has now entered the frame, according to a report from Football Insider.

The player in question is Angers goalkeeper Yahia Fofana, with Chelsea now joining the race for the Ivory Coast international, who has established himself as one of the best young goalkeepers in Europe with his performances in Ligue 1.

Fofana has no shortage of suitors, with Newcastle United, Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers also interested in a deal, having sent scouts to watch him in action, so there could be stiff competition for his signature.

Maresca’s side are set to conduct a scouting mission of their own this weekend, having been recommended to sign the 24-year-old by club legend Drogba, who has been impressed by his form for Angers and the Ivory Coast.

Fofana impressing in Ligue 1

Previous reports have revealed the Angers shot-stopper could be available for a fee of just £15m, which could be a bargain, given the level of his displays in Ligue 1.

Freelance scout Ben Mattinson has lauded the Ivorian as a “top” goalkeeper, while also detailing that he claims crosses well and has a good range of passing, with the latter quality perhaps particularly important if he were to play in a Maresca system.

Maresca has made it clear he wants his goalkeeper to take risks with his passing, which has led to mistakes from Sanchez this season, so the fact that Fofana is a solid passer of the ball is of key significance.

Chelsea may not choose to pursue a new goalkeeper this summer, given that Djordje Petrovic has been impressing on loan at Strasbourg, but if Maresca decides a new option is needed between the sticks, the Angers goalkeeper could be a quality signing.

Nottingham Forest could now look to hijack a rival Premier League club’s move for an “unbelievable” player, according to transfer expert Graeme Bailey.

Forest's summer transfer plans taking shape

Forest still have plenty to play for this season, with Champions League qualification still very much on the cards despite the 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa last weekend, while they will also have dreams of winning the FA Cup.

However, with the summer transfer window edging ever closer, it is important Nuno begins to lay the groundwork ahead of next season, and the manager appears to be particularly keen on signing a new striker.

Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres, AFC Bournemouth’s Evanilson, and Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Matheus Cunha are some of the biggest names on the shortlist, with Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin also emerging as an option in recent days.

The Tricky Trees have set their sights on a midfielder, who is now likely to leave his club this summer.

Bolstering his attacking options appears to be a priority for Nuno, but there have also been suggestions the manager could look to bring in a new goalkeeper this summer, with replacements being eyed for Matz Sels, despite his impressive form.

Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is one of the names on the shortlist, with the 26-year-old set to be available for £25m, now the Saints’ relegation from the Premier League has been confirmed.

Speaking to Nottingham Forest News, transfer expert Bailey has now confirmed Burnley’s James Trafford is also of interest to the Trickly Trees, saying: “They have been delighted with how Sels has performed, he has been superb but I know they are looking at the market.

“There are some very good goalkeepers going to be available – Aaron Ramsdale, James Trafford and Caoimhin Kelleher amongst them, and Forest like those three – and that isn’t including the plethora of foreign options. It is not definite but they are looking at it.”

Trafford could be "unbelievable" signing

Sels has been reliable for Forest between the sticks this season, starting all 31 of their Premier League matches, but there are clear indications Trafford could be an upgrade on the Belgian.

Burnley have shipped just 12 goals in the Championship this season, which is by far the best defensive record in the league, and he has received high praise from minority owner JJ Watt, who lauded the goalkeeper as “unbelievable”.

That description is fully justified, given that the 6’6″ colossus ranks extremely highly on a number of key metrics for goalkeepers over the past year.

Trafford has long been expected to sign for Newcastle United this summer, and it may be difficult to hijack the move for the goalkeeper, but if Champions League football is on offer at the City Ground next season, moving to Forest could be an attractive proposition.

Tottenham Hotspur’s winless run at Stamford Bridge stretched to nine matches and Ange Postecoglou watched bitterly on as his side’s Premier League campaign sank further into the dredges.

It has been a frustrating season, a calamitous season, but hope remains. While Spurs are stuck in 14th, ten points behind tenth-place Bournemouth, who have lost four of their past five fixtures and yet are unassailably ahead, hope remains.

Tottenham face German side Eintracht Frankfurt over two legs in the Europa League quarter-finals, the first of which arrives this Thursday, and while the manager will hold on to confidence that his team can get the job done, this was a sour display, lacking the attacking fizz and vigour that ‘Angeball’ once blessed N17 crowds and television screens.

One player’s decline has been emblematic of his squad’s overall torpor. Heung-min Son has been a stalwart for Tottenham over the years, but he appears to be reaching the end of the road.

Heung-min Son's Spurs struggles

Could anything typify it more than that flash of promise in the closing stage? Brennan Johnson, fresh and off the bench, wooshed a lovely pass across the box, but the skipper could only reach it tamely to force a stretching save from Robert Sanchez.

Were this a younger iteration, he would have covered that extra yard, connected with more emphasis, saw the net bulge.

But Son, 33 this summer, lacks his one-time athleticism and was largely marshalled by Chelsea’s defence, failing to create a single key chance despite losing the ball ten times while also only winning one duel, as per Sofascore.

However, he needed his fellow players – the forwards in particular – to pull their weight too, and, frankly, Spurs failed to muster enough in west London, with the man in the middle anonymous through the majority of proceedings.

Son's not the only one fading away

Dominic Solanke has endured a frustrating season in the capital, transferring to Tottenham from Bournemouth in a deal worth £65m last summer.

After a bright start, he’s flaked away, with a knee injury picked up in the new year stifling the 27-year-old’s progress and reducing him to several disappointing recent performances.

However, with 11 goals and eight assists from just 25 starts in all competitions, there’s still hope that he can make the requisite adjustments to play a big part over the coming weeks.

That said, he was a “bystander” at Stamford Bridge, as was noted by Alan Smith on co-commentary.

Completing just six passes, failing to even attempt a shot on Sanchez’s goal, Solanke will be most frustrated, especially since he’s beginning to look like Postecoglou’s next version of James Maddison, whose nightmarish Lilywhites career has involved various setbacks after an electric start last season.

Maddison won the Premier League Player of the Month in August 2023 but has since endured a number of injuries and consequent sappings of form, leaving him scrambling for that one-time reputation as one of European football’s standout playmakers.

Both Englishmen have enough about them to make convincing returns to their apex, but if they aren’t on their A-game against Frankfurt this week, fan tensions might just boil over.

Solanke, at least, worked tirelessly, leaving football.london to award him with a 6/10 match rating, but he was toothless in the final third and needs to emit more of a talismanic aura in the coming weeks.

Son huffed and puffed to little avail too, but at least the aging captain found space to strike on goal, sought to create with one wicked low cross.

This drop, the latest drop, in form has not come at a great time for a Spurs side whose season hinges on triumph in the Europa League.

But hope remains. Son, Solanke, Maddison. All fading. Now, the big one is coming up, and they need to return to colour.

Liverpool are now reportedly ready to accept a cut-price offer for one of their star men on one important condition in the January transfer window.

Salah accuses Liverpool of throwing him "under the bus"

To say it was a bad Saturday evening for Liverpool would be an understatement. Life was good at 2-0 up. The champions were in control. Cruising, in fact, before Ibrahima Konate’s needless challenge allowed Leeds United the climb back into the game before both sides battled out a dramatic 3-3 draw.

But the worst was yet to come. Mohamed Salah didn’t get on the pitch yet again, but he did get behind the mic after the game to unleash an explosive rant against Arne Slot and Liverpool.

The Egyptian said: “That I’m sitting on the bench for 90 minutes! The third time on the bench, I think for the first time in my career. I’m very, very disappointed to be fair. I have done so much for this club down the years and especially last season.

“Now I’m sitting on the bench and I don’t know why. It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That is how I am feeling. I think it is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame.

“I got a lot of promises in the summer and so far I am on the bench for three games so I can’t say they keep the promise. I said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager and all of a sudden, we don’t have any relationship. I don’t know why, but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn’t want me in the club.”

It’s a new low point in Liverpool’s shocking title defence and where they even go from here is anyone’s guess. It is, however, time to get ruthless it seems, with reports now suggesting that those at Anfield are ready to sell Konate following his disastrous form.

Liverpool ready to accept Konate offer

According to Football Insider, Liverpool are now ready to accept a £15m offer to sell Konate in January if they manage to find a replacement. The Frenchman has played himself out of a Real Madrid move this season, but is still on course to become a free agent when his contract expires in the summer.

After he gave away a penalty to allow Leeds back into Saturday’s game, Slot admitted that Konate has been at the scene of the crime too often this season.

A player who Virgil van Dijk dubbed “fantastic” last year, Konate has now become Liverpool’s biggest liability. With just over six months remaining on his current deal, it remains to be seen whether he puts pen to paper on fresh terms.

White-ball captain wary of distractions as he embarks on first tour in charge

Cameron Ponsonby17-Oct-2025

It is infuriating talking to an England player at the moment. The biggest series in years is on the horizon. It’s all we’ve been speaking about for months. And rather than indulge in playground gossip like the rest of us, they’re rising above it.”We’re in New Zealand,” says Harry Brook, speaking from New Zealand. So far, so good. “I’m the white-ball captain.” Also correct. “We’ve got a game tomorrow night.” Three from three. “And that’s all I’m thinking about.” Wrong. Tell us that Josh Hazlewood is going to get sent to the moon.This is a refined Harry Brook. Wiser than the man who was once burnt after saying he was glad he could “shut up” Indian fans in 2023, then twice burnt by England fans in 2024 after saying “who cares” if someone gets caught on the boundary. Now, in 2025, he is a man who leads his country on and off the pitch. When England were given a traditional cultural welcome on Friday at the Hagley Oval, it was Brook, in his role as captain, whose responsibility it was to stand and say a few words of thanks to the local Maori leaders at the end of the ceremony. A simple, but important task that earned him a tap on the thigh from head coach Brendon McCullum.Related

“Like I said. We’re in New Zealand now,” Brook reiterates.Through nothing other than coincidence, Brook’s development as a cricketer has been inextricably linked to the country. His Test captain, Ben Stokes, has his roots in New Zealand. The only Test head coach he’s ever known, McCullum, is one of the most famous New Zealanders of all time. His centuries in Wellington, Christchurch and Wellington again include arguably his finest knock in an England shirt. And his first tour as an England captain is to the country as well. Most recently, Gilbert Enoka, the famous mental skills coach who worked extensively with the All Blacks, has become a figure Brook turns to for advice.”He’s awesome,” Brook said of Enoka’s presence with the England team. “We’ve actually just done a session with him now for an hour or so. To have him in the ranks, just to be able to pull him for a chat for five or 10 minutes is awesome.”Unprompted, Brook, who was recently named as vice-captain of the Test side, spoke about his need to adapt both as a captain and a batter. A question about Jacob Bethell’s ability against spin segued into an answer about Brook’s recognition about the need to be flexible with a batting line-up.”I haven’t liked doing that in the past,” Brook says of switching left-and-right-handers in the order depending on what the opposition is throwing up. In his eyes, that amounts to a bending of the knee to an opponent who should be dictated to, not delegated around.”But whatever’s best for the team at that stage is vital. And like I said before, having them little chats with Gilbert with everybody heading in the same direction, knowing that things might change here and there is vital for the side.”Similarly with his batting, his quickly trademarked but almost impossible to describe roly-poly Dilscoop ramp, that he unfurled in the Hundred, sounds set for a spell on the sidelines. As a shot it is a moment of pure entertainment. But rather than being the sign of a man with unlimited confidence and limitless form, Brook saw it as a sign he was straying too far into the woods.”It’s fun when the crowd’s cheering and whatnot,” Brook told talkSPORT. “But it doesn’t necessarily work every time.”I’ve actually been quite disappointed with the way I’ve played in white-ball cricket. I feel like I’ve been premeditating a lot. And that’s one goal for me this series, just to try and play on instinct as much as possible.”Brook’s aim to move away from premeditation stems from a desire, to use a football term, to play the way he’s facing. The fact he is able to play 360 degrees, he feels, is pulling him in too many directions. Literally.”Because I’m hitting it in different areas,” Brook explained of why he wanted to scale back. “Obviously it all depends on the situation of the game and the surface, but when I’m at my best I’m hitting it straight.”Brook got engaged recently. It can be the only explanation for such clarity of thought. A man can only plan so much. And a wedding outranks deciding when to scoop Jacob Duffy.When Brook entered the international set-up in 2022, Stokes made a joke at his expense, calling him “a bit dumb”. Joe Root joined the party a couple of years later when referring (endearingly, it must be said) to Brook as an “idiot”.But the fact of the matter is that Brook is very likely to walk out at some stage across the Ashes series with the England blazer on and as captain of his country. Stokes has missed a match through injury in each of his last four Test series. And the Brook that does so, thanks to those around him, will be very different to the one who debuted just over three years ago.”I want Stokesy to play all five games,” Brook said, knocking back any suggestion he’s thought at all about the prospect of walking out on Boxing Day to call heads in front of 95,000 people. “But now we’re in New Zealand. I’m the white-ball captain, and that’s my main focus. That’s all I’m thinking about at this moment in time. We’ve got a game tomorrow night. And like I’ve said so many times, [I want to] just stay in the moment as much as possible.”Brook is only interested in speaking about New Zealand. And really, given his history here, why would he want to talk about anything else?

تحدث إيميل هيسكي مهاجم ليفربول ومنتخب إنجلترا السابق عن وضع محمد صلاح في الريدز، بعد ابتعاده عن المشاركة بشكل أساسي في آخر مباراتين بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وكان المهاجم الإنجليزي القوي السابق هيسكي قد ارتدى قميص ليفربول في الفترة بين عامي 2000 و2004.

وقال هيسكي في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “جول” العالمية عن الانتقادات التي يتعرض لها محمد صلاح: “ليفربول أصبح يستعد لفترة ما بعد صلاح”.

وأضاف: “سأتفاجأ إن لم يكونوا بدأوا الاستعداد لذلك منذ بداية الموسم، لأنه على الأرجح لم يتبق له سوى أقل من عامين في عقده وهو في الثلاثينات من عمره”.

وواصل: “سيشكل توقف صلاح عن المشاركة بشكل أساسي بانتظام في تغيير كبير داخل ليفربول، حيث سيجري سلوت تغييرات على تشكيلات وأساليب لعب مختلفة بمجرد خروجه بالتدريج من التشكيل الأساسي”.

ويعتقد هيسكي أيضاً: “صلاح ليس من نوع القادة مثل كاراجر أو ستيفن جيرارد، ليعترف بسوء أدائه لوسائل الإعلام، بعد الانتقادات التي وجهت له مؤخراً”.

وختم: “أمثال فيرجيل فان دايك أو حتى كورتيس جونز سيخرجون ويتحدثون ويعالجون الموقف بشكل مباشر ، لكن هذا ليس صلاح، حتى عندما كان في قمة مستواه، لا أعتقد أنه كان يتحدث كثيراً، لكن بصفته لاعب كبير فإنه يجب أن يخرج ويواجه الانتقادات لأن هذا من واجبه”.

Newcastle United have purchased some real gems over the last few years when flexing their muscles across various transfer windows.

Just this summer gone, the Magpies splashed out a substantial £69m to land Nick Woltemade, and it’s already looking like it was a necessary splurge to make, with the skilful, yet towering German now up to four Premier League goals, despite the new campaign still very much being in its infancy.

Other, more shrewd purchases in recent memory have also seen Eddie Howe and Co. land both Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn, who remain as mainstays in his XI to his day, despite both being veteran figures at St James’ Park, while a deal to snap up Sandro Tonali for £55m back in 2023 continues to pay off.

The best recent bit of business of them all, however, could be obtaining Bruno Guimaraes, with the much-loved Toon captain even being hailed as “special” by his manager at the weekend, as another clutch moment from the Brazilian in black and white secured a last-ditch 2-1 win over Fulham.

Guimaraes' hero status at Newcastle

Acquired for a cheaper fee than both Woltemade and Tonali at the £40m mark back in 2022, it’s clear, now that Newcastle won themselves an almighty bargain picking up the South American from Lyon when they did.

Indeed, the Rio De Janeiro ace has become a “talisman” for the Magpies – as he was recently labelled by Match of the Day pundit Michael Carrick – with goals and assists aplenty, 52 combined to be exact, always matched by a hunger to battle away and fight for his beloved side, across his 166 appearances and counting on Tyneside.

From his mammoth 11,032 minutes in the Premier League, Guimaraes has won a very high 915 duels.

Yet, that is also coupled with his incisive play in the forward areas, with his 6510 accurate passes across the same span of matches, often resulting in him finding a teammate in the forward areas who can steer the Toon to a win.

The well-respected number 39 – who has also been dubbed a “joy to watch” this season by Toon-based blog Mouth of the Tyne – does also take matters into his own hands in the attacking positions, with a bumper eight goal contributions next to his name this campaign.

All of this overwhelming evidence points in the direction of Guimaraes being an unbelievable, earth-shuddering steal, but there is a new star emerging at St James’ Park now who might well be viewed as Newcastle’s most prized purchase since the 27-year-old’s impactful arrival.

Newcastle have another Bruno bargain

Guimaraes’ longevity in a Magpies shirt should be commended, with his midfield partner in Joelinton, beginning to show signs of decay, while he continues to stand out as a fine wine.

Malick Thiaw will hope he’s viewed as such a revered element of Howe’s team down the line, with the decision to bring in the 6-foot-4 centre-back this summer for just £34m already being viewed as another Guimaraes-style masterstroke.

Just ten games have come the Düsseldorf-born warrior’s way on Tyneside to date, and yet, he is already being branded as “absolutely sensational” to watch by Newcastle-based writer Thomas Hammond.

The table above only backs up all the wild praise the three-time Germany international has been receiving, with the commanding number 12 not looking out of place whatsoever in the Premier League – despite struggling to hold down a first-team spot at AC Milan – as seen in him averaging an unerring 88% pass accuracy, on top of winning five duels on average across his six outings in the tough league so far.

He very much stood out against Fulham too, in much the same way Guimaraes did, with eight duels heroically won, further reinforcing how much of a bargain the Toon have managed to pull off by acquiring Thiaw for a measly £34m.

With two Champions League clean sheets also under his belt, seeing Mouth of Tyne further boldly state that Thiaw can play at the “very top”, it’s clear that one of the centre-back spots in Howe’s XI is now nailed on to be taken up by the new fan favourite.

Already a recipient of his own catchy chant by the Newcastle fans, too, it does remain to be seen what Thiaw’s long-term career looks like in England.

Right now, though, he looks to be treading down the same, success-laden path as Guimaraes in being a staple for many years to come.

Desde a chegada de Germán Cano, em 2022, a torcida do Fluminense se acostumou a celebrar os gols da equipe tricolor fazendo o L com as mãos, em homenagem a Lorenzo e Leonela, filhos do Rei da América. A partir do momento em que o argentinochegou, foram 86 comemorações de gol que receberam a marca do artilheiro em 138 partidas. Com média de 0,62 gols por partida, a torcida campeã da América se condicionou a comemorar gols “fazendo o L” jogo sim, jogo não, e por isso vem sentindo falta da homenagem do atacante que convive com jejum de gols.

A falta de gols de Germán Cano vem afetando diretamente na capacidade do Fluminense em vencer os seus rivais do Rio de Janeiro. O último gol de Germán Cano em clássicos aconteceu na final do Carioca do ano passado, em 9 de Abril, quando o tricolor derrotou o Flamengo por 4 a 1, em épica virada que garantiu o bicampeonato. Desde então, quase um ano se passou, e o tricolor fez 12 clássicos sem conseguir a vitória nenhum deles.

Para conseguir se classificar à sua quinta final de Campeonato Carioca seguida, o Fluminense precisa repetir o feito atingido no ano passado diante do mesmo rival. Com desvantagem nos critérios de desempate da competição, o tricolor precisa vencer pelo menos por 3 a 0 caso queria seguir sonhando com o tricampeonato.

Para derrubar a vantagem conquistada pelo Flamengo no primeiro jogo, o atual campeão Carioca conta com a quebra da seca do artilheiro que convive com uma sequência de 5 jogos sem marcar. Nesse período, Germán Cano atuou em 3 clássicos com a camisa tricolor e voltou para casa com duas derrotas e um empate, resultados que não podem se repetir caso o Fluminense ainda queira ser campeão.
