We reported last week on allegations from Argentina that Ramón Sosa has refused to train with CA Talleres after they publicly declared they had halted negotiations with Nottingham Forest. The dynamic winger was not in the team to face Barracas Central on Friday and has refused to play in the crucial game against River Plate next week. Nottingham Forest verbally agreed to a deal before reportedly modifying everything, which did not please the Argentine team. TyC Sports reports that the 24-year-old could still leave for Nottingham Forest or another team this summer. They say that if a transfer hasn’t already…

Leeds United striker Mateo Joseph was unable to hit the back of the net in his debut league start for the club against Portsmouth, but this still felt like a preview of what is to come from the striker. 949 days. Mateo Joseph had to wait this long to earn his first league debut for Leeds United. Saturday afternoon was bound to be noteworthy in some manner. So it proved. There was no goal – Joseph had his hands on his head after missing that second-half chance – but this bizarre 3-3 draw with Portsmouth felt like a foreshadowing of…
Leeds United had a terrible afternoon on Saturday, failing to overcome Portsmouth despite dominating the game from start to finish and scoring three times. Pascal Struijk opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Dan James was injured, but Portsmouth replied twice before halftime to make the score 2-1 to the newly promoted side. Wilfried Gnonto promptly made it 2-2 after the half, but Portsmouth responded with an injury-time penalty before Brenden Aaronson came off the bench to make it 3-3 in the 95th minute. Aaronson, on the other hand, went from zero to hero to zero as the USA…
Liverpool fans could only dream of having a striker like Victor Osimhen on their team. This is not a case of Liverpool’s inability to attract a player of the Napoli star’s caliber. They can do it 10 times over and bring in many of Europe’s finest stars, if they choose. To the frustration of Liverpool fans, the powers that be at Anfield function in a very different manner, which irritates those who represent the club. While Chelsea is on another spending spree, Manchester City is looking for two Premier League players to replace Julian Alvarez, and even West Ham United…
Leeds United agreed to sell Crysencio Summerville to West Ham for a reported £25 million up front, plus add-ons. Leeds still have a lot of work to do in the transfer market before the season closes on August 30, including finding a means to adequately replace two key outgoings. Crysencio Summerville followed Archie Gray to the Premier League, signing a long-term agreement with West Ham. West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville transfer details have been released. It was revealed earlier in August that West Ham had finalized the transfer of Summerville from Leeds, which was concerning due to a release clause in…
Nottingham Forest have recently returned from Greece, where they met Olympiacos, the UEFA Conference League champions, in their final preseason test. The Reds won 4-3 over the Greek club, which is also owned by Evangelos Marinakis, and the game served as a valuable learning experience. This preseason has been significantly less turbulent than the previous two since Forest’s ascent to the Premier League. In a refreshing change of strategy in the transfer market, only six players have been signed thus far, with quality taking precedence over number. More players will be recruited before the transfer market ends, but Forest has…
According to Edmund Brack, Leeds United will face late competition from Norwich City to capture Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi. The South London Press journalist reported on X (11 August) that when Jonathan Rowe pulled out of the matchday squad to face Oxford, Norwich made a late attempt to sign Rak-Sakyi from Palace. United reportedly made a £15 million deal for the 21-year-old winger [Alan Nixon, 11 August], but it was rejected by the Premier League club, with Burnley also increasing their interest. Rak-Sakyi and Rowe have emerged as the Whites’ two main transfer targets in recent days, with a…
Leeds United’s 3-3 draw with Portsmouth showcased both the good and bad of Daniel Farke’s team on Saturday afternoon at Elland Road, with one element being a lack of effectiveness in front of goal. Leeds did score three goals, but the total could have been higher. The Whites hit the crossbar three times in the first ten minutes and wasted countless additional chances before Brenden Aaronson’s late golden opportunity. The USA star had just equalised for Leeds with a stunning touch and finish on 95 minutes, following Portsmouth’s 92nd-minute penalty. When put through on goal, he somehow missed the mark,…
Nottingham Forest are having a successful pre-season in terms of retaining their key players. Murillo, Morgan Gibbs-White, and Callum Hudson-Odoi have all been linked with departures from the City Ground. However, as Forest prepare for a home game against Bournemouth next weekend, all three of their best players remain on the roster. With the transfer window open until the end of August, clubs still have time to pounce on Forest, and the club is not out of the woods yet. Anthony Elanga was another player who had a strong debut season at Forest last year, and he now appears to…
Liverpool is about to bank up to £27.5 million. Liverpool are close to selling Fabio Carvalho. The attacking midfielder has impressed in preseason after returning from a standout loan spell at Hull City. Carvalho scored in pre-season victories over Arsenal and Manchester United, playing as a left winger for Arne Slot’s team. However, the 21-year-old is behind Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, and Diogo Jota in the pecking order for a spot on the wing, with the player claiming that the No.10 position is his best function. As a result, Carvalho is ready to leave Liverpool just two years after signing…
