Nottingham Forest fought hard to sign a new talisman in the January transfer window but eventually ended up frustrated in their efforts. Evangelos Marinakis tried hard to bring a new forward to Forest. A number of targets were identified but nothing came to fruition before the window slammed shut last Monday.

Another player wanted by Forest was Matheus Cunha. He was…

Rangers prepare to sack Philippe Clement. Steven Donn, writing for the Scottish Daily Mail in its print edition on Tuesday (page 70, 11 February), claims that the Ibrox board has the funds to fire Clement immediately.…

Mohamed Salah has become the most talked-about player in world football this season. The Egyptian King is having the best season of his career, with 44 goals and 34 assists, but this could be his final season at Anfield. With less than six months left on his contract, Salah’s future is uncertain, and the forward has a short time to make a decision. Saudi Arabia appears to be the most likely destination if Salah leaves Liverpool, and Al-Hilal, who are at the top of the list for his signing, have recently received a significant boost. Liverpool agree to Al-Hilal’s request.…
Paul Mitchell’s ambition of bringing young, promising talent to Tyneside is taking fruition, with the Magpies ready to beat over a pair of La Liga heavyweights for the acquisition of a Spanish starlet. While our lack of first-team acquisitions has disappointed many over the last few windows, we have brought in a number of young players. Mitchell has acquired Dinamo Tiblisi’s Vakhtang Salia, despite interest from Arsenal, and Baran Yildiz from Turkish Super Lig club Gençlerbirliği.

Isaac Schmidt has struggled to make an impact in Daniel Farke’s team since joining Leeds United last summer. The left-back has made only nine appearances since joining from Swiss club St Gallen for £4.6 million in August, failing to impress the management after six months. After watching innumerable movies and listening to Swiss media, fans were ecstatic about Schmidt’s arrival to Elland Road, but it has been far from ideal. That may probably be attributed to the players ahead of him in the pecking order, Junior Firpo and Sam Bryam, both of whom have been trusted to back up each…
