Feyenoord decided to sign Santiago Gimenez during the January transfer window. As Nottingham Forest looks to bolster their striker options in January, Santiago Gimenez is reportedly not for sale this month. After speaking with the club, the Feyenoord striker turned down a transfer to the City Ground when the Reds attempted to sign him in the summer. It was rumored that he rejected a transfer because he was afraid of becoming involved in a Premier League relegation fight. However, this has been shown to be wildly incorrect, since Nuno Espirito Santo’s team is presently in third position, behind Liverpool and…

Leeds United have long taken pleasure in the quality of their academy at Thorp Arch and the talents that come through, but such is the way of the contemporary game is that elite teams may simply grab players when they see fit. Leeds lost Archie Gray in the summer to the tune of £40million and his first six months at Tottenham – while still not playing in his native position – have just underlined how huge a talent Leeds knew they had on their books. The fact that his younger brother is still with the club and is predicted to…
Liverpool and Chelsea have both been linked to the Borussia Dortmund player. Liverpool ‘sent scouts’ to watch Borussia Dortmund teenager Jamie Gittens, according to sources. The 20-year-old is having a great season for the Bundesliga club, which is only 10th in the table. He’s been the star player, with 11 goals and five assists in 26 games. The highlight thus far has been scoring the equaliser in a 1-1 tie with Bayern Munich. Gittens, like Jude Bellingham and Jaden Sancho, left England to pursue a career in Germany. He left Manchester City’s academy to join Die Schwarzgelben in 2020, when…
Southampton star Flynn Downes should have been sent off and given a lengthy suspension for blatant foul play during their 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. The former PGMOL chairman and ex-FIFA official claimed that the 25-year-old was fortunate to stay on the pitch after compromising his opponent’s safety with a lunge on Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White. Match official Anthony Taylor was given plenty of abuse from the home supporters for his officiating display, in a game marred by several questionable decisions. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side secured all three points with three first-half goals from Elliot Anderson, Callum…
Leeds United fans have already found themselves in this situation, with their promotion-chasing team taking the January transfer window a little too slowly. Indeed, this time last year, the Whites had only signed one player in the transfer season, Burnley loanee Conor Roberts, and their lack of activity may have harmed their promotion hopes as Daniel Farke’s squad got stretched. With no new faces in the door yet, the Elland Road crowd will be concerned that a similar burnout may occur, but there is still time for Leeds to change the narrative before the window closes. The promotion chasers could…
Keith Jackson has stated that Rangers gaining a point against Manchester United in the Europa League would be “terrific”. The Daily Record journalist feels the Gers could draw at Old Trafford in the Europa League on Thursday (January 23). Philippe Clement’s club is coming off a 5-0 victory against Fraserburgh in the Scottish Cup on Sunday (19 January), and the Red Devils are in poor form. Jackson stated in the Daily Record (20 January): “Who knows? Rangers have developed a habit of punching above their weight on Thursday evenings. And Man United has been hit and miss under new manager…
Sheffield United are interested in Rangers’ Tom Lawrence, according to the Daily Mail. On January 18, the site stated that the Blades are among a number of clubs interested in the former Manchester United star, who is out of contract this summer. The report claims that the Ibrox side have failed to agree new terms with the 31-year-old which has left the likes of Ipswich, Burnley and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Besiktas on alert.

Nottingham Forest prevailed 3-2 at Southampton to keep up the pressure on Liverpool and Arsenal at the summit of the Premier League table – but this wasn’t an easy game. In actuality, it should have been a cakewalk. Forest roared out of the blocks, scoring three times in just over 30 minutes, with goals from Elliot Anderson, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Chris Wood. However, the Reds allowed Southampton to climb back into the game. Jan Bednarek scored a freakish goal that deflected over Matz Sels, and with 11 minutes of injury time remaining, Paul Onuachu headed home to make things even…
Joe Rothwell impressed Aidy White with his “tremendous” pass to Brenden Aaronson, which helped Leeds United open the scoring in their Championship win over Sheffield Wednesday. The midfielder came in from the left wing and saw the US international make a darting run into the Owls’ box, prompting James Beadle to commit to running out of his goal to try to halt the threat. In the end, the ‘keeper ended up fumbling the ball into the feet of Manor Solomon who coolly put the ball into the back of the net which helped Leeds win their Yorkshire rivals 3-0 on…
