Pochettino Can Agree $18m-19m Signing of Player for Spurs

Zaryab — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 19:30:53 +0000

Spurs had the best defense in the Premier League in the last two campaigns under the management of Mauricio Pochettino but the Argentine boss needs to reinforce his back line after the departure of Kyle Walker.
If reports in the media are anything to go by then the North Londoners are interested in signing a youngster in the form of Greek international and Olympiacos defender Panagiotis Retsos and Pochettino can agree his signing for a certain fee.
Last week, Greek source SDNA reported that Spurs sent their scout to monitor the performance of the 18-year-old starlet against Partizan in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League.

The Greek side won the tie and will now face Rijeka in the Play off round of the competition.
Now, according to Gazzetta in Greece, Olympiacos are ready to sell the defender for a fee worth $18m-$19m.
The mentioned price tag is way to high for the youngster and Levy will probably refrain from spending such a sum to lure the teenager.
In the last campaign, Retsos featured in 34 games in all competitions. Naturally, he is a center back but Olympiacos also utilized him in the fullback positions and in the defensive midfield as well.

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2016 20:15:39 +0000

Man United are currently five points behind Tottenham who occupy the final Champions League qualification place and the Red Devils must reinforce to finish in the top four.
United have two major dilemmas at the moment. First, the crumbling defense mainly due to so many injury concerns and the second is their inconsistent attack.
Lately, the likes of Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial have been impressive for the Red Devils and the goals have started to flow. However, the defensive dilemma must be solved tonight by signing another defender.

If reports (Daily Mail) are anything to go by then United have the chance to sign Olympiacos full back Omar Elabdellaoui before the deadline ends tonight.
At the moment, the likes of Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones are injured. Even Young and Valencia who can be utilized in the defense are sidelined. In such a scenario, United are using youngsters like Cameron and Varela.
A more experienced defender signing is needed and Omar can solve that dilemma. As per the provided Mail link, Olympiacos have offered a loan deal with an option to make it permanent one and United are deciding whether to sign the 24-year-old Norwegian or not.

Arsenal needed a mountain to climb in Greek to beat Olympiacos and qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League.
However, the Gunners were brilliant on the night and ripped the Greek side apart in their own backyard 0-3 to reach the knock out stage of the competition.
Star striker Olivier Giroud was on song and scored a deserved hat-trick to give Arsenal the aggregate lead over Olympiacos.

The home side started the game well and dominated Arsenal for the first 15 minutes but once the British side settled into the game, Olympiacos had no answers to their fantastic play.
The North Londoners opened the scoring in the 29th minute. Welsh international Aaron Ramsey played in a superb cross to set up Giroud for the opener. Four minutes into the second half, the lead was doubled and the final goal was scored in the 67th minute from the spot.
Here are Arsenal player ratings vs Olympiacos.

4-2-3-1: Arsenal's Strongest Possible XI vs Olympiacos

Arsenalogy — Tue, 08 Dec 2015 19:15:53 +0000

Arsenal face Olympiacos away from home tomorrow night and need a big win against the Greek side to confirm their place in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
Olympiacos defeated the Gunners 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium early on in the season and the North Londoners now need to score at least 2 away goals to qualify. In fact, any win will be enough for the British side apart from 1-0 and 2-1.
As far as the team news is concerned, it is highly unlikely that Wenger will make many changes in the starting XI that featured against Sunderland last weekend.

Expect speedy attacker Theo Walcott to return to the starting eleven and replace compatriot Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Other than that, Wenger will probably start the same squad as he did against the Black Cats.
Record signing Mesut Ozil has been in world class form lately and his display is surely going to be crucial. Here is Arsenal’s strongest possible starting XI vs Olympiacos.

Arsenal Close in to Secure $13m Star Signing

Arsenalogy — Thu, 14 Aug 2014 04:30:20 +0000

Having sold Thomas Vermaelen to Barcelona few days back, Arsenal are in search of a quality central defender.
However, the captain’s replacement will arguably be used as a cover for leading central defense partners Mertesacker and Koscielny.
Wenger himself claimed that he hopes to lure a center back this summer. He stated:

“If I can find another center back I will do it”

It seems that Arsenal boss has perhaps found the center half and as per reports, the North Londoners are closing in to secure $13m Kostas Manolas signings.
The 23 year old Greek international plays for Olympiacos and was also featured in his nation’s every game of the World Cup 2014.
The 1.89m tall central defender is strong and not only adds to defense but also score goals as well.
Last season, Manolas featured in 25 league games for Olympiacos and netted 3 goals. Other than that, he also made 7 Champions League appearances and scored 2 goals that came against Benfica and French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
Overall, Konstantinos Manolas seems a decent prospect for the future and the mentioned fee is not very high as well.
Meanwhile, the season is about to begin in a few days and Callum Chambers is expected to start as the central defender alongside Koscieleny in the first game against Crystal Palace as Mertesacker just arrived from extended break.
