Liverpool, Arsenal, and Barcelona are all interested in the Newcastle striker. Alexander Isak of Newcastle United scored his 50th Premier League goal over the weekend, propelling himself into the record books. Following that, the striker delivered another message to Liverpool, Barcelona, and Arsenal on his future plans. Speculation about Isak stays frequent. The Swede’s outstanding form this season and last has sparked transfer speculation, with a number of European heavyweights casting envious glances at St James’ Park.

Nottingham Forest lost 4-3 to Newcastle at St James’ Park on a day when the gap between the Reds and fifth was narrowed down to just three points. Forest started well in the North East. Callum Hudson-Odoi fired the Reds in front after just six minutes but what followed in the first half was frankly unforgivable. Lewis Miley restored parity for the hosts on 23 minutes and just 11 minutes later, Newcastle found themselves 4-1 to the good after turning the game completely on its head. VAR was once again at the centre of the debate that still rumbles on.…

However, his most vital contribution came in the 89th minute, when he…

Newcastle United’s Champions League chase is back on track. On Sunday, the Magpies beat Nottingham Forest 4-3 in a thoroughly entertaining clash at St James’ Park, with all of the home side’s goals coming during an 11-minute first-half spree; Lewis Miley and Jacob Murphy on target, before Alexander Isak struck twice. Despite having lost three of their previous four Premier League games beforehand, Eddie Howe’s team have moved back up to fifth, thereby occupying the final Champions League spot, ahead of Wednesday’s Carabao Cup Final dress rehearsal, facing champions-elect Liverpool at Anfield. The Toon Army certainly have a strong side…
FSG, the owners of Liverpool, excels in maximising margins, controlling costs, and making data-driven decisions. It is difficult to be objective in a sport that is so emotionally driven. But FSG approaches everything with the cool rationalism that has helped them build a sports empire worth around £15 billion. This similar analytical approach upsets many Liverpool fans, despite the fact that Arne Slot’s side leads the Premier League by 11 points in a season that was projected to be a transitional one. Liverpool will finish the season with a positive net spend and may lose Mohamed Salah, who is dominating…
Rangers have recruited Barry Ferguson till the end of the season, but they are already looking for their new permanent manager. Philippe Clement’s tenure at Ibrox proved untenable, therefore the club opted to part company with him. Given the context of the San Francisco 49ers’ takeover saga, they chose to make an interim rather than a permanent appointment. The Gers plan to bring in David Wagner or Derek McInnes. David Wagner, the former Huddersfield Town and Schalke manager, has been linked with the Ibrox hot seat in recent hours. However, the board chose not to approach him right now, but…
The former captain is on the hot seat until the end of the season, with Gerrard’s name touted as Philippe Clement’s permanent replacement. Former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has been listed as the favourite to succeed Philippe Clement in the Ibrox dugout. And, while Barry Ferguson has taken over as interim manager, the door remains open for the Liverpool legend to make a sensational comeback at the end of the season. Clement, the Belgian manager, was fired on Sunday in the midst of a terrible season with Rangers on the verge of missing out on silverware. The disappointing defeat to…
Forest are ready to play Arsenal in the Premier League following their loss to Newcastle United. A 4-3 defeat to Newcastle United on Sunday followed recent losses to Bournemouth and Fulham, and while Nuno Espirito Santo’s side remains in third place in the table, Deeney and fellow Match of the Day 2 pundit Joe Hart agreed Forest are struggling to qualify for European football. “The Premier League is tough,” Hart stated on Sunday after losing to Newcastle. “We were just talking while watching, Troy, and we were thinking they were the surprise package, and they were really hurting people with…
Mohamed Salah grabbed extra attention for Liverpool on Sunday. The Egypt international scored and assisted in another Premier League game, his 11th of the season, bringing his total to 25 goals and 16 assists in just 27 matches. Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards, Daniel Sturridge, and Roy Keane discussed the Liverpool No.11’s chances of winning the Ballon d’Or while praising him on Sky Sports. Carragher, perhaps stupidly, joked that Mohamed Salah had never played in a major international event, scoffing when the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) was presented to him in response, a moment to which Richard Keys has now…
