Aston Villa are allegedly looking for a new winger this month, with Galatasaray’s Wilfried Zaha among Unai Emery’s targets. The Ivorian attacker only joined the Turkish club from Crystal Palace six months ago, thus the Villians will face a difficult battle in completing the transaction.Zaha, 31, is also off to a good start in Turkey. He has scored seven goals and provided two assists in his first 21 games across all competitions, including a crucial goal against previous club Manchester United in the Champions League group stage. As a result, Emery has once again become interested in the 31-year-old’s form.…

Given their development under Ange Postecoglou, it’d be surprising if any player turned down a move to Tottenham Hotspur right now. Spurs are firmly in contention for the top four, and might even challenge for the trophy if teams around them stumble. Postecoglou has inspired a project full of optimism; he has his squad playing terrific football while obtaining commensurate results. However, this has not always been the case in recent years. Antonio Conte’s tenure ended on a poor note, with things looking bleak toward the conclusion. However, according to The Athletic, one Premier League star turned down a move…
Tottenham are not playing around in the transfer market, having already signed two vital players and setting their sights on a third. With the squad in need of reinforcement, chairman Daniel Levy is taking decisive action to suit manager Ange Postecoglou’s needs. They have already secured Timo Werner on loan and beat Bayern Munich to the signing of Radu Dragusin, a highly rated Genoa centre-back. But they’re not done yet; their next target is a midfielder. According to The Independent, Spurs are ‘pushing ahead’ with their plans to recruit a number 8 next, with Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher ‘top of…
DOHA: The Asian Cup opens on Friday (tomorrow), with defending champions Qatar hosting, Japan favourites, and South Korea’s Son Heung-min vying for the trophy for the first time since 1964. The 24 teams from Australia to Palestine will compete for regional glory over the next four weeks, culminating in the final on February 10 at the 88,000-capacity Lusail Stadium.

Radu Dragusin’s agent has stated that he ‘can’t believe’ the Romanian international turned down another club to join Tottenham, adding that it is the ‘correct step’ in his career. The 21-year-old centre-back is likely to join Spurs from Italian side Genoa as their first permanent signing of the year, following the loan acquisition of Timo Werner from RB Leipzig on Tuesday. The two clubs allegedly negotiated an agreement worth £25.9 million plus add-ons for the defender, with Spurs right-back Djed Spence moving the other way on loan when his loan at Leeds was ended. Dragusin was also connected with Bayern…
Giovani Lo Celso is scheduled to miss Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to Manchester United on Sunday owing to a ‘hamstring injury’. According to journalist Tom Barclay, the midfielder may miss out as a ‘precaution’. Lo Celso has m ade an impressive start under Ange Postecoglou, scoring four goals in ten games this season. After joining Spurs for £27 million from Real Betis more than four years ago, the midfielder struggled to make an impact. However, he has performed admirably in James Maddison’s absence in recent weeks, playing an important role in Tottenham’s 3-1 league victory over Bournemouth. The Argentine had two…
Manchester United could go all-out to get Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo this January, as Tottenham seek elsewhere. According to the UK media outlet The Daily Express, Tottenham Hotspur’s slow progress in signing Jean-Clair Todibo may provide Manchester United an advantage. Ange Postecoglou was desperate for a reliable centre-back following Micky van de Ven’s injury and Cristian Romero’s indiscipline. However, the saga did not progress as predicted. Todibo is performing admirably for Nice. The Ligue 1 club has conceded only nine goals thus far, and the 24-year-old has made a significant contribution to that success. Fabrizio Romano, a renowned football journalist,…
Aston Villa are undoubtedly on the rise this season, thanks to Unai Emery’s meticulous coaching. The Spaniard was regularly derided during his time at Arsenal, but he’s enjoying the last laugh right now, taking his team to the Europa Conference League knockout rounds while sitting comfortably in second place in the Premier League league, only two points behind champions Liverpool. The Villains are playing some of the finest football seen in years, with only Pep Guardiola’s swashbuckling Manchester City scoring more than them. Though they’ve been rather quiet on the transfer market this season, a chance appears to have presented…
