Andy Brown — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 08:58:13 +0000

AS Saint-Étienne face AC Monaco on Friday night (28 September) at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in the first match of round eight in the French Ligue 1. Both teams did not start the season very optimistically and are still seeking for their best form. The hosts will try keeping their home ground a fortress this season – two wins and a draw so far. Monaco’s players will be more careful with their next match where they will be visiting Borussia Dortmund for a Champions League clash, fighting for their group stage survival after having lost the first game.

Key Players Missing

No injured and suspended players for the hosts. Monaco’s Rony Lopes is out of the game due to a hamstring injury. Willem Geubbels, Stevan Jovetic and Ronaël Pierre Gabriel are doubtful. The good news for Leonardo Jardim is that Sidibé, Aholou and Pellegri are back.

£35m-rated midfielder fancies move to the Premier League

Sri Aswin — Sun, 08 Jul 2018 22:35:42 +0000

Nice midfielder Jean-Michael Seri is reportedly keen on securing a move to the Premier League during the ongoing transfer window. The Ivory Coast international has just 12 months left on his existing deal with the French outfit and his reluctance to extend his contract is expected to witness his departure this summer.
According to Sky Sports News, the 26-year-old has been left out of Nice’s training camp with his future yet to be resolved. It is added that Chelsea, West Ham United and Fulham are among the Premier League clubs interested in his services and any of them can acquire his services by triggering his £35m release clause by July 15.
Seri has been no stranger when it comes to the transfer speculation and during the previous summer transfer window, he had been associated with both Arsenal and Spanish champions Barcelona. Back then, it appeared that he would certainly join the latter after concrete discussions with their officials but the move was scuppered at the final hurdle after the Blaugrana decided to sign Paulinho from Guangzhou Evergrand instead.
Thereafter, Seri had no other choice than to commit himself to Nice for the season but he now appears on the move with Nice keen on profiting from the midfielder, who has entered the final year of his contract. Based on the reputation, Chelsea should be leading the race among the Premier League sides to sign Seri but their managerial situation does make things complicated for the fore-run.
The west London giants have not dismissed Antonio Conte from the head coach role despite being tipped to do so since in May and much of this has resulted from their inability to release Maurizio Sarri from his contract with Napoli. Sarri was sacked from the managerial role with Napoli a couple of months ago but their president has been reluctant to terminate his contract unless a compensation package is settled by the Blues.

Arsenal on red alert over the availability of playmaker

Zaryab — Mon, 29 Jan 2018 05:17:49 +0000

Arsenal lost Alexis Sanchez in the winter transfer window and replaced him by signing a top attacker in the form of Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
If reports in the media are anything to go by then the north Londoners are linked with another playmaker.
According to Mirror Sport, Arsenal and Liverpool have been put on red alert over the availability of Senegalese international and Monaco star Keita Balde.
The 22-year-old African attacker only moved to the reigning French champions in the summer transfer window but the British source have mentioned that he could be available for transfer. It is also mentioned that the PL clubs should act swiftly if they want to sign him because Napoli are also looking to acquire his services.
Balde mainly starts on the left wing but he can effectively play on the right flank and also as an out and out center forward if needed.
Last season, he featured in 31 league games for Italian club Lazio, scored 16 goals and provided 5 assists.
In the current campaign, the former Serie A star has so far played 24 games in all competitions for the Ligue 1 side and directly contributed in 14 goals (5 goals and 9 assists).
In your opinion, do Arsenal need to strengthen their attacking midfield?

Man Utd Plan to Move with $39.4million Offer to Sign Star

Marek — Mon, 30 Oct 2017 06:33:18 +0000

Manchester United are looking to strengthen their squad in the winter transfer window and if the latest reports are anything to go by then they are looking to sign a certain Belgian defender.
According to reports (Express), the Red Devils are ready to move in with an offer worth 30 million pounds ($39.4million) to sign Thomas Meunier from French side Paris Saint-Germain.
The British source have mentioned that the 26-year-old is now behind Alves in the pecking order and now wants a move away from the club for regular first team football.
Thomas has featured 19 times for the senior Belgian side and hopes to earn a place in the team for the next year’s World Cup.

Meunier has been in top form this season mainly in the attacking third. In 6 league starts, he has scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists. However, he has not played a single minute in the Champions League as Emery prefers Alves.
At the moment, Valencia is United’s first choice right back and Mourinho has also got Darmian for the position. Still, the former Chelsea boss wants to further strengthen the back line and wants Thomas at Old Trafford.
The Belgian defender’s current deal with the French giants will expire in 2020 and Express claim that PSG could sell him to balance the books. In your opinion, should Jose sign him?

Liverpool Ready to Sign Star Playmaker Next Summer

Zaryab — Sat, 14 Oct 2017 06:42:31 +0000

Liverpool were seriously interested in hiring the services of French international and Monaco star Thomas Lemar in the summer transfer window.
However, the Reds could not secure any deal with the French club and then ended up luring English midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal on deadline day.
If the latest reports are anything to go by then the Merseysiders are still interested in signing Lemar.
According to Mirror, Liverpool and Arsenal are ready to battle to sign the 21-year-old playmaker next summer.

Lemar was in top form for the Ligue 1 side last season. He netted 9 goals and provided 11 assists in Monaco’s title winning campaign.
However, this season, he has not hit top form as yet. He is yet to open his account and has only provided 2 assists in 9 appearances in all competitions.
Liverpool’s star attacker Coutinho was mainly linked with a move to Barca in the summer but the Merseysiders opted to keep their prized asset. The Brazilian international is still linked with the Catalan giants and it will not be shocking to see him leave the Anfield club next summer.
If that happens, Liverpool will likely get a huge amount that must be used to sign a top replacement in the form of Lemar. In your opinion, is Thomas good enough to replace Coutinho?
