Lyon surprisingly end negotiations with Liverpool for club-captain

Daire — Sat, 09 Jun 2018 21:04:50 +0000

French outfit Lyon have confirmed that they have ended transfer negotiations with Liverpool regarding club-captain Nabil Fekir. The France international was heavily tipped to join the Merseyside giants prior to the summer World Cup but the potential agreement has now been cancelled, according to Les Gones’ official website.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have already done their initial business for the summer with the announcement of Fabinho’s arrival from AS Monaco but unfortunately, they have been unable to get through a deal for Fekir.
The Frenchman is understood to have undergone a medical, agreed terms and had an introductory video with the Merseyside outfit but the club appear to have doubted their very own pursuit at the 11th hour.
As per The Mirror, the Reds were said to be concerned over the Frenchman’s injury concerns over his right knee and this prompted them to re-negotiate a lesser transfer sum which did not impress Les Gones.
Keeping this in regard, Les Gones have now made an official statement to confirm that Fekir won’t be making the move to Anfield this summer and they have gone to the extent of suggesting that the attacker will stay put with them for the next campaign.
Despite the announcement, Liverpool could remain optimistic over a deal for the Frenchman considering they found themselves in a similar position with Virgil van Dijk 12 months ago.
Back then, the Reds had to pull out of the pursuit of Southampton defender Van Dijk following an illegal approach from Klopp but they managed to sign the Dutchman six months later where they paid a club-record £75m fee for his services.
Liverpool have been fairly active since the resumption of the transfer window and they have already recruited Fabinho from AS Monaco. Any fresh negotiations for Fekir, however, may only begin following the summer World Cup.

Zaryab — Tue, 26 Dec 2017 05:36:47 +0000

Arsenal are already out of the title race and are currently 6th in the Premier League table. The North Londoners must strengthen their team in the winter transfer window if they are to get back into the Champions League for next season.
As far as the transfers are concerned, the Gunners have been linked with numerous quality attackers and one of them is Lyon star Nabil Fekir.
Last month, we covered a report (via Daily Star) claiming that Arsenal are close to agreeing a £60million deal to sign the French attacking midfielder. Star claimed that the deal was almost done.

As per the latest update exclusively provided by Daily Star, the Ligue 1 club are not ready to let their prized asset leave in the New Year.
It is mentioned that Arsenal want Fekir to replace Alexis Sanchez but they might have to wait for next summer to do that because Lyon are refusing to sell him next month.
The 24-year-old star has been in brilliant form for the French side in the current campaign. In 22 appearances in all competitions, he has directly contributed in 18 goals so far (15 goals and 3 assists).
If Nabil cannot join in January then the Gunners must hold on to Alexis until the end of the season. That way they will lose the Chilean for free but selling him in January without signing a replacement would be worse.

Liverpool Prepared to Agree $18million Contract to Secure Signing

Omer — Wed, 05 Jul 2017 05:51:49 +0000

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp signed the likes of Ragnar Klavan and Joel Matip to strengthen his back line last summer but the defense still proved to be inconsistent.
Therefore, the former Borussia Dortmund boss is looking to further bolster his defense this summer and he wants to sign another central defender.
Southampton star Virgil van Dijk has been in the lime light for a long time but now a new name is in the focus.
Italian football journalist Emanuele Giulianelli covered an exclusive report for The Sport Review last night and claimed that Liverpool have made a bid worth 17 million euros to sign Argentine center half Emanuel Mammana from Lyon.

The 21-year-old South American defender had an injury hit campaign last term and he could only feature in 17 league games for the French club (scored one goal).
Mammana has made three senior appearances for the national side and in all those contests, Argentina kept clean sheets. Liverpool need a proven quality center back to challenge for the title next season and in all fairness, Emanuel is not good enough.
Nevertheless, as per the provided Sport Review link, the Merseysiders are ready to offer him a five year contract worth $18million to secure his signing.

Deal Close but Should Arsenal Seal $67million Signing of Star

Zaryab — Mon, 03 Jul 2017 11:11:40 +0000

Arsenal have lacked a world class out and out center forward since Dutch star Robin van Persie left the club to join Manchester United few years back.
Since then, only Alexis Sanchez has managed to score 20+ league goals in a season (last campaign) for the Gunners. The likes of Welbeck and Giroud have been injury prone and not so consistent.
The North Londoners badly need a top striker this summer if they are to have any chance of winning for the PL title next season and reports suggest that they are close to signing (Telegraph) Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon in a deal worth 52 million pounds ($67million).
The question is, should Arsenal really seal the signing of the French international?
In the last campaign, the 26-year-old striker netted 28 goals in 30 Ligue 1 appearances for Lyon but detailed stats obtained by Oulala suggest that the North Londoners might be making a mistake by signing him.

As per the stats obtained by Oulala (infographic provided below), Alexandre did manage to score 28 league goals but it must be taken into consideration that 10 of those came from the penalty spot.
He played for 2408 minutes and scored 18 goals (excluding penalties) i.e 134 minutes per goal. On the other hand, Olivier Giroud played 1198 minutes in the Premier league and managed to score 12 goals (0 penalties) i.e 100 minutes per goal.
In the past three campaigns, Lacazette has scored 76 goals in a weak league (20 from the penalty spot).
Before moving to the Emirates, Giroud won the French title with Montpellier in the 2011-12 season and he was the joint leading goalscorer with 21 goals. However, since joining the Gunners, he has not been able to hit the 20-goal mark in the Premier League.
Even Didier Deschamps has mainly preferred Giroud over Lacazette. The Arsenal striker was a key member for France in World Cup 2014 and Euro 2016, whereas, the Lyon striker was not even selected in the competitions. He made his debut for the senior national side back in 2013 and so far, he has only played 11 times.
Therefore, it will be fair to say that Alexandre’s stats are not convincing and Arsenal might be making a mistake. In your opinion, is Lacazette good enough to be a hit in the Premier League?

Arsenal failed to qualify for the Champions League and it will be hard for them to attract the best of players in the continent.
Lately, the North Londoners have been heavily linked with a move to sign French international Alexandre Lacazette.
According to Telegraph, the Gunners have been told that they have to splash a sum of 60 million pounds (fee + add-ons) to hire the services of the Lyon center forward.
Last season, in 30 league games, the Les Bleus star directly contributed in 31 goals. Overall, he netted 37 goals and provided 5 assists in 45 outings for the Ligue 1 side.
Arsenal have lacked a world class striker since the departure of Dutch international Robin van Persie. The likes of Giroud and Welbeck are just not good enough to help Arsenal win the Premier League title and they badly need someone like Lacazette in the strike-force.
Without CL Football, Arsene Wenger must act fast or else, other top clubs may look to take advantage. Liverpool need and out and out striker as well and they have been tracking Lacazette for over three years (via Mirror).
In such a scenario, the French boss should not waste more time and must activate the £60million ($76million) release clause (Mirror) to secure the signature of the 26-year-old star.

Zaryab — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 04:38:39 +0000

Manchester United signed superstar striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a free transfer last summer and the retired Swedish international proved to be brilliant under the management of Mourinho.

Yesterday, Mirror reported that Jose Mourinho is set to make an offer worth 50 million pounds to secure his signature.

United do have a quality starlet in their ranks in the form of Marcus Rashford but the teenage England international still needs to learn and gain more experience to become the first choice striker.
As per the provided Mirror link, United also have sights on stars like Alvaro Morata and Romelu Lukaku. In your opinion, who should Manchester United sign to improve their strike-force?
