£100m ace could provide timely boost to Newcastle’s transfer plans

£100m ace could provide timely boost to Newcastle’s transfer plans

With Newcastle having underwhelmed in the latter part of the 2023/24 season, it will have brought the club’s transfer plans into sharper focus ahead of the summer window.

The Magpies began the campaign full of hope after a brilliant 2022/23, which saw them qualify for the Champions League for the first time in over 20 years.

An epic 4-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain at St. James’ Park was the real high point, but a series of injuries since then clearly disrupted what Eddie Howe and his backroom staff were trying to achieve.

Newcastle may need to sell Bruno Guimares

Currently sat in 10th position in the Premier League table and with 10 games left to play, Newcastle are a whopping 16 points behind Aston Villa in the final Champions League spot.

At this rate, the club might not get into Europe at all, and that’s unlikely to have been countenanced by owners the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF).

It’s perhaps with that in mind that Football Insider report that the club would be willing to sell £100m-rated Bruno Guimaraes to fund a summer transfer spree.

Players need to be bought for key positions, and with Financial Fair Play hanging over every club at the moment like a dark cloud, the need to either be creative or be forced to sell star players is real.

In an ideal world, Newcastle wouldn’t sell the one player that’s been the fulcrum for them, however, their league position is likely to force such a move upon them.

Tottenham fans have been left excited about new signing Lucas Bergvall after witnessing his recent performances for Djurgadens IF.

Spurs secured his signing on deadline day of the January transfer window, agreeing to a deal of around €10 million with Djurgadens IF, with the midfielder staying with the Swedish club on loan for the remainder of the season.

On Sunday, Bergvall was in action in the Svenska Cupen semi-finals against AIK, and helped his side win on penalties.

Bergvall gave his side the lead early in the game with a fine header but the opponents equalised late in stoppage time, with the game eventually decided on penalties.

Not only did he impress with a goal, but also left fans excited with a brilliant piece of play.

He dispossessed the defender near the corner flag, before proceeded to turn him inside out with lovely dribbling skills and almost set up a goal for his side.

Watch the goal and the skill below:

Liverpool and Tottenham eyeing bargain deal for Premier League star with 127 appearances

Liverpool and Tottenham eyeing bargain deal for Premier League star with 127 appearances

19/03/2024, England, Multi Sports, English Sports Publications, Article # 31686760

The future of Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo remains up in the air as the summer transfer window draws closer, with Liverpool and Tottenham believed to be keen on a potential deal.

The 26-year-old has been at Fulham since 2020 and has made 127 appearances for the London club – 73 of which have come in the Premier League.

His time at Craven Cottage may be coming to an end though as the centre-back is out of contract at the end of the season and is currently set to become a free agent.

Tosin has been offered a new contract but according to Fabrizio Romano, the player will take his time over a decision and the transfer journalist doesn’t expect one anytime soon.

There is interest in the Fulham star from England, Italy, and Germany with Liverpool and Tottenham two clubs said to be eyeing up a move for the 26-year-old.

According to Football Insider, Tottenham are long-term admirers of Adarabioyo and tried to sign him last summer, while Liverpool are also keen to add him to their defensive ranks ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.

The Fulham star already has plenty of Premier League experience and would make a very solid back up for the defences of both English giants.

However, European sides have the advantage over the Premier League clubs as they can sign a pre-contract agreement with Adarabioyo outside of the transfer window.

It remains to be seen what happens with the future of the player but it is clear that the 26-year-old has acquired a lot of interest and has a big decision to make over the coming months.

Crystal Palace eyeing summer move for winger with 27 goals & 19 assists

Crystal Palace eyeing summer move for winger with 27 goals & 19 assists

19/03/2024, England, Multi Sports, English Sports Publications, Article # 31686761

Crystal Palace are one of the several Premier League clubs interested in Athletic Bilbao winger Alex Berenguer.

According to Spanish outlet AS, the Spanish club are struggling to agree on a new contract with him, with his current contract set to expire at the end of the season.

The report claims that the Spaniard has not agreed to any offers the club has made to him so far, and there is a high chance he could leave on a free transfer in the upcoming transfer window.

The report adds that Crystal Palace along with Brentford and Wolves have ‘taken notice’ of the player’s current situation and are considering making a move in the summer.

Alex Berenguer could be a decent signing for Crystal Palace

The 28-year-old joined Athletic Bilbao in 2020, and since then has made 159 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring 27 and assisting another 19. This season he has scored 6 and assisted 2 in 26 games in La Liga.

He is a versatile attacker who plays primarily as a left-winger but can play on the right as well as a second striker.

With Palace expected to lose Eberechi Eze in the summer, Alex Berenguer could turn out to be a decent replacement for them.

Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven picked up an injury during their 4-0 win against Aston Villa last week. 

The Dutchman was phenomenal in the first-half and was easily the best player on the pitch, helping keep the game 0-0.

But soon after the restart, he picked up a hamstring injury and was taken off. He was replaced by new January signing Radu Dragusin who did a decent job after coming on to help the team secure a massive win over their top 4 rivals.

Ange Postecoglou revealed after the game that the injury is not too serious. He missed the game against Fulham but the manager suggested that he should be back after the international break.

However, injury expert Dr Rajpal Brar has now the shared the latest regarding the centre-back.

Dr Rajpal Brar on Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven

According to the doctor, the 22-year-old may not be back in time for the Luton game.

He claims that the severity of the injury has not been properly disclosed as yet but if the manager’s claim is to believed, it is not too serious.

The injury expert adds that while the comments from Ange are positive, he believes a return against Luton is unlikely.

Dr Brar told Tottenham News:

“Sounds like the assessment is ongoing but the comments from Ange are positive.

“We don’t have much information other than it being a thigh injury so it’s hard to give best vs worst case but typically that would be a difference of days vs months out.

“A better gauge will be to see how he’s training after the international break.

“I still think it’s unlikely he’s back for the next game.“

Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven could miss Luton game

Radu Dragusin did not have the best of games in his first start with Tottenham as Spurs lost 3-0 to Fulham on Saturday.

Which is why Tottenham fans will hope that Micky is back in time for their next game on 30th March, as they can not afford to lose any more points.
