Nottingham Forest resumed their winning ways with a 7-0 victory over Brighton at the City Ground. Bournemouth beat the Reds 5-0 last weekend. As a result, several sceptics believed that the bubble had burst, but yesterday’s performance demonstrated that this is not the case. Forest will now shift their focus to strengthening the team. A lot of players are being considered ahead of the transfer deadline, and it will be interesting to see what Forest can do. Of course, many connections will lead nowhere. Now, a player who has been associated with Forest for the past month appears to be…

The transfer window began, at Leeds United, with talk about centre-halves and potential signings in the number 10 role. However, with the deadline approaching in only one day, the attention appears to have shifted. To center-forwards, no less. Leeds United welcomed back Ethan Ampadu after a protracted absence, and as Daniel Farke dismisses concerns over Pascal Struijk’s fitness – he will resume training next week – the Championship leaders suddenly do not feel as vulnerable at the back. Meanwhile, Farke made it clear that he wanted an aggressive midfielder. However, with Emi Buendia opting to join Bayer Leverkusen on loan…
Michael Gannon believes Rangers will complete the permanent signing of current loanee Vaclav Cerny after the Czech winger impressed at Ibrox. In terms of prominent players, Cerny has regularly impressed for Rangers, but he will return to his parent club Wolfsburg this summer. However, Gannon has urged the Light Blues to change that and complete the permanent purchase of the winger in a multi-million-pound deal, following reports that Wolfsburg will demand a £6.75 million fee for his sale [Scottish Sun, 1 February pg 69]. In his column in the print edition of Sunday Mail (2 February, pg62), Gannon said: “If…
Rangers transfer target Aaron Anselmino has frustratingly agreed to a loan move to Marseille. The clock is ticking for the Gers if they are to make any further additions to their side before the winter window slams shut on Monday (3 February). The only signing that has been completed at Ibrox so far is a temporary switch for Lille defender Rafael Fernandes. With that being said, Philippe Clement may be keen to add another defender to his squad but has been dealt a fresh blow with little time remaining until deadline day. Rangers target Aaron Anselmino agrees to Chelsea exit The Light Blues made a late…
Rangers could still pursue a deal to sign Hearts striker on a free transfer in the summer, sources have told Football Insider. Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that interest in the 29-year-old has lingered and he remains on the list of potential targets at Ibrox. Football Insider revealed in November that Hearts could look to cash in on the striker in January in a last-ditch attempt to raise funds from his sale. Despite this, any deal is now thought to be unlikely before the 3 February deadline, and would be more likely to…
Leeds United are in seventh heaven on Saturday evening after crushing Cardiff City 7-0. The encounter could not have been more different than the slow, grinding, and goalless war of attrition they played against Burnley on Monday, with Leeds United scoring early on. Brenden Aaronson opened the scoring after five minutes, then Manor Solomon increased the lead shortly after. Dan James set up both goals and scored himself right after the break from close range. Joel Piroe subsequently converted a penalty, and replacements Willy Gnonto and Mateo Joseph also scored. Piroe added his second goal in the final stages to…
Glasgow Rangers attacker Hamza Igamane has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise disappointing season. The Moroccan aroused many eyebrows among supporters when he arrived at Ibrox, but his performances on the pitch proved all of them incorrect. Igamane was recently named Scottish Premiership Player of the Month for his outstanding performance in January, scoring five goals, including a stunning hat-trick against Hibernians. Philippe Clement possesses a special talent. The question is: how long will he be a Rangers player? Hamza Igamane’s future with Rangers The 22-year-old scored against Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League just before…
Tottenham Hotspur’s Fabrizio Romano has disclosed that the club intends to add at least one centre-back before the window closes, but could perhaps sign two. Tottenham’s defensive crisis deepens. In the encounter against IF Elfsborg in the Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur received an injury setback as Radu Dragusin was forced off shortly after going on for the returning Micky van de Ven. Although Van de Ven’s comeback was a positive development, Tottenham’s lack of defensive depth has been a concern all season, with injuries halting progress and exposing their defensive fragility. Following the centre-back’s injury, manager Ange Postecoglou hinted that…
Refereeing decisions won’t be concerning Nottingham Forest fans on Saturday after their 7-0 win over Brighton, but Richard Keys spotted one error that VAR made in the game. Evangelos Marinakis was spotted celebrating with the Forest players at full-time after the remarkable Premier League victory, one that brings Forest level on points with Arsenal in the race for Champions League football. It’s difficult to pick out a star performance at the City Ground, with Chris Wood’s hattrick potentially overshadowed by Anthony Elanga’s three assists in the game. Manchester United fans were frustrated watching Elanga after they let him leave Old…
Hugh Keevins praised the Light Blues’ manager for how he has overcome his legion of detractors. After manager Stuart Kettlewell’s departure in response to maltreatment, not only a segment of the Motherwell fan base has reason to reconsider their behavior. Ibrox for Introspection might also be an appropriate slogan where Philippe Clement is concerned. I wrote here a few weeks ago that a repentance service might be required on the ground in light of the Belgian’s progress in defiance of his legions of enemies. There is now a large amount of evidence to back the concept in principle, if not…
