Tottenham Hotspur are seemingly stepping up their interest in Celtic boss, Ange Postecoglou, as the search to find a permanent successor to Antonio Conte rumbles on.
What's the latest on Postecoglou to Tottenham?
According to the Daily Record, the Lilywhites are believed to be ready to 'make their move' for the title-winning coach, having seen previous leading target Arne Slot opt to remain at current club Feyenoord.
This follows a report from the Independent that suggested Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is now 'strongly considering' the 57-year-old as an option to be the club's next full-time head coach, having handed the reins to Ryan Mason on a caretaker basis over the last weeks.
Should Tottenham appoint Postecoglou?
There are no doubt fears growing at N17 that the north London outfit are in for a repeat of the summer of 2021, with The Athletic's Charlie Eccleshare stating that it had taken over 70 days for Levy and co to eventually find a replacement for Jose Mourinho in that protracted managerial search.
The Premier League side have already suffered the blow of missing out on the likes of Julian Nagelsmann and Xabi Alonso – as well as the aforementioned Slot – with time now running out to find a suitable, willing candidate ahead of the summer transfer window.
In Postecoglou, however, Levy may well have already found a dream fit for the role, with the Greek-Aussie having showcased his credentials at Parkhead of late after winning four domestic honours since the start of last season, all while implementing "beautiful, attacking football" in Glasgow – as per BT Sport pundit, Owen Hargreaves.
Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou
The former Australia head coach – whose front-foot approach has been hailed as "mental" by compatriot Jackson Irvine – would likely be able to bring back a more aggressive and expansive style of play to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with former boss Harry Redknapp having only recently stated that the club need to be "less timid" and "have a go at teams".
Not only would such an approach likely please Spurs supporters, but Postecoglou's arrival could also potentially have a positive impact on the club's struggling squad, with the forward line, in particular, set to benefit from the 4-3-3 tactician's influence.
Long-serving asset Heung-min Son could be among those to find a new lease of life under the current Hoops boss, with the South Korean star having endured an underwhelming season to date after scoring just ten league goals, after previously bagging 23 top-flight goals last term.
With the 30-year-old having been something of a "passenger" at times of late, according to journalist Charlie Gordon, a fresh face in the dugout could be just what is needed to get the former Bayer Leverkusen man back to his best.
The benefits of Postecoglou's attacking style have been felt by those in his current home, with wing wizard, Jota, having bagged 14 goals and 11 assists in 41 games across all fronts this term while typically operating in a left-wing berth.
The 24-year-old's rampant form should well showcase that Postecoglou could also allow Son to flourish from the left flank next season, with the latter man likely to be revived by the presence of a more attack-minded coach.
As such, if Levy is to turn to the experienced tactician in the coming weeks, it could well be wonderful news for Tottenham's £190k-per-week hero.
Liverpool youngster Calvin Ramsay won't be rushed back from injury and will definitely miss the rest of the season, according to an update from reliable journalist David Lynch.
How has Ramsay fared at Liverpool?
The 19-year-old joined the Reds from Aberdeen last summer, arriving as a highly-rated right-back prospect who was hailed as "elite" by Dons chairman Dave Cormack back in 2021. Sadly, his first season at Anfield has been horribly injury-plagued, limiting him to just two appearances in all competitions, and not a single minute of action in the Premier League.
Ramsay hasn't featured at all since way back in November, with a back issue and then a knee injury causing him major problems and keeping him sidelined for many months. It has been a cruel way for the Scot to begin his Liverpool career, with so much expected of him when he arrived, and glimpses of his potential shown during his fleeting appearances.
The hope is that the teenager is slowly on the mend and closing in on a return, however, and a key update has emerged regarding his current situation.
According to Lynch for Football Insider, Liverpool are "taking a cautious approach" with Ramsay, who won't play between now and the end of the season. That being said, he is "expected to be fully fit for a pre-season period in which he will hope to show Klopp that he is worthy of operating as the first-choice back-up to Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back".
It is noted that he will face competition and could lose the role to fellow youngster Conor Bradley however, who is also considered a potential long-term understudy to Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back.
It is only right that Liverpool handle Ramsay with care, ensuring his injuries don't affect him too badly so early in his career, perhaps due partly to them rushing him back. The hope is that a full pre-season will aid him hugely moving forward, and that these current issues are no more than the growing pains that someone like Steven Gerrard also suffered from in his younger days.
Ramsay looks like a player of such top quality and with such a high ceiling – he registered nine assists in 39 appearances for Aberdeen and has been hailed as "absolutely exceptional" by Jurgen Klopp – and he still has so much time on his side that he should be moved along at his own pace, eventually providing genuine depth at right-back.
Angelo Matthews has spoken of his shock at feeling Shaminda Eranga’s racing heartbeat during Sri Lanka’s second ODI at Malahide on Saturday
Melinda Farrell at Trent Bridge20-Jun-2016Angelo Mathews has spoken of his shock at feeling Shaminda Eranga’s racing heartbeat during Sri Lanka’s second ODI at Malahide on Saturday.Eranga was rushed to hospital as his team-mates took to the field for the second innings of the match and remains in Ireland where he is undergoing tests to determine the cause of his elevated heartbeat, which is understood to have reached an alarming 220 beats per minute.Mathews would Mankad again
Angelo Mathews has stood by his decision, during the 2014 series, to enforce the Mankading of Jos Buttler, a move that was at the time decried by Alastair Cook as “a pretty poor act”. Sachithra Senanayake ran out Buttler at the non-striker’s end during the fifth ODI at Edgbaston after the batsman had repeatedly been warned for backing up early. But Mathews said he wouldn’t shy away from a repeat performance if a similar situation occurred. “You face challenging moments in life,” he said. “Being in the hot seat is not easy. Sometimes you have to make those hard decisions, Unfortunately I had to make that. I still stand by it, because we warned him twice before. That’s all we could possibly do at that time.” “We are not looking forward to doing the Mankading. We will play our cricket within the rules. If someone is trying to take advantage of the rules then we will probably warn him. But the Test series was played in very good spirit, so hopefully we’ll play the ODI series in very good spirit, too.”
The 29-year-old had gone out to bat in the first innings and faced a single delivery, the final ball of Sri Lanka’s innings. According to the team management there were no warning signs of any ill-health and and they are not aware of Eranga having any previous heart conditions.It was during Sri Lanka’s warm-up in the innings break that Eranga realised something was wrong.”At the time he called me and said ‘something has happened to me’,” said Matthews. “He was warming up and just before we went on the field, he said something happened to me, can you touch my heart because it is beating fast. I felt something unusual so I quickly called the physio and the physio went for the doctor with him. It was a shocking incident.”While Eranga’s health is of the utmost concern, he received a separate blow on Sunday when the ICC deemed his action to be illegal. The seamer had been reported after the second Test against England in Durham and subsequent tests in Loughborough showed the flexion of his elbow exceeded the legal maximum of 15 percent.ESPNcricinfo understands Eranga was not showing signs of undue stress before the ODI on Saturday and that doctors have ruled out anxiety as a cause of his condition.”It has been a tough 48 hours for him,” said Matthews, “And the whole team is behind him and we are fully supportive of him. It was an unfortunate incident just before we went on to the field.””It’s another unfortunate incident where his action has proved to be illegal and he will have to go back and work with the fast-bowling coaches and come back strong.””We are very confident he will come through both – his condition as well as his action – so we are very supportive of him and the whole team are behind him.”Eranga will remain in Ireland until the results of the tests are known and, once he is declared medically fit to fly, he will then return to Sri Lanka.His absence leaves a hole in a bowling attack that has already been depleted by injuries to Dushmantha Chameera and Dhammika Prasad, Sri Lanka are preparing to call in at least one replacement from the Sri Lanka A squad, which arrives in England tomorrow ahead of two four-day games against Pakistan, followed by a 50-over tri-series also involving the England Lions.During the three-Test series Sri Lanka struggled with the early season English conditions but showed gradual improvements and Matthews hopes the change in formats will lead to a change in fortune for his side.”It was pretty unfortunate that we haven’t performed well in the Test series but we kept improving game by game and as time went on we really started hitting our straps and we had some convincing wins in Ireland,” he said.”But England is a completely different team, we still have to play our best cricket to beat them here.””We haven’t done well in the recent past but we’ve played a lot of T20 games rather than one-dayers. We are a forceful unit when it comes to one-dayers, we’ve got a good set of guys and a bit of experience.”
Rangers have suffered a "big blow" with the news that Connor Goldson and Ryan Kent may be ruled out against Celtic, according to former player Alan Hutton.
What's the latest Rangers injury news?
The Gers have a number of injury issues to deal with heading into this Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic, with Ryan Jack set to miss out for a few more weeks, while striker Antonio Colak is also considered a doubt.
Goldson has missed the last three games due to an injury problem, with Kent missing the last two, and Hutton has now claimed the duo are unlikely to feature against Celtic on Sunday.
In an interview with Football Insider, the former Rangers man insisted that he does not expect to see too many changes to the side that were defeated 2-0 against Aberdeen last time out, saying: “Goldson looks like he is going to be missed from what I hear.
“Kent as well, they could be a big blow for Rangers moving forward. Unless they come back in and declare themselves fit, I do not see much change [to the team] from what we saw at the weekend.
“It was not a great result but the performance was not as bad as people think. So I do not really see too many changes from that game the other day.“
Will Goldson and Kent be fit to play on Sunday?
There are conflicting reports as to whether Goldson will be able to feature against Celtic this weekend, as Michael Beale has previously claimed he will be fit to play, so it remains to be seen whether the centre-back makes the starting XI.
If the £37k-per-week defender does get the nod at the back, it will be a welcome boost for the Light Blues, considering he is ranked by Sofascore as their fourth-best performing player in the Scottish Premiership this season, averaging a 7.27 match rating.
Connor Goldson for Rangers
Kent has yet again hit double figures for assists in the Scottish Premiership, most recently setting up Malik Tillman's second goal in the 2-0 victory against Dundee United, and journalist Joshua Barrie has claimed the £18k-per-week winger looks an improved player since Beale took over as manager.
Both players what it takes to beat Celtic at Hampden, having started in last year's 2-1 victory in the Scottish Cup semi-final, so it will be a real blow for Beale if neither are available to play on Sunday.
Chelsea are believed to be interested in bringing in former River Plate boss Marcelo Gallardo as their new permanent manager, according to a fresh report.
What is the manager situation at Chelsea?
It's fair to say that this has been another tumultuous season at Stamford Bridge, with plenty of drama happening on and off the pitch. Performances have been nowhere near good enough throughout the campaign, with Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter losing their jobs as the Blues find themselves languishing in mid-table following an instantly forgettable 0-0 draw at home to Liverpool on Tuesday night.
They have now brought in Frank Lampard as interim manager until the end of the season. It is a move that may raise eyebrows with some and be a popular decision with others, with the 44-year-old clearly a Blues legend, but not someone who has shone too much in his managerial career yet, including in his previous stint as the Chelsea boss – having lost that job in early 2021.
The search is on to find a permanent replacement for Potter during the summer and various names are likely to be thrown into the hat in the coming weeks. Now, a new update has emerged – one that has arguably come out of left-field.
Is Gallardo good enough to be Blues boss?
According to TyC Sports (via Sport Witness), Chelsea "have offered" Gallardo the job, having started negotiations with him over a move to west London. It is described as a "world bomb" piece of news, and while the 47-year-old wasn't interested in taking charge in the remaining weeks of this season, he is now ready to "sit down to talk to start in June".
The Argentinian managed River Plate between 2014 and 2022, winning two Copa Libertadores titles as well as three Argentinian Cup crowns.
This is an intriguing update that seems to have come from nowhere, with Gallardo not a name who has been mentioned recently, unlike Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique, for example. It does feel like a riskier appointment judging by his lack of experience in the European game, at a time when a more reliable manager may be required to steady the ship, so we think Chelsea could be wise to look elsewhere for their next permanent boss.
That being said, Gallardo has a strong winning mentality considering his aforementioned success at River, so if Todd Boehly is confident that he is the right man to come in, the Blues owner needs to be trusted on the matter.
However, you could also argue that the lack of similarities between him and the other candidates may raise questions over the selection process – which is perhaps not the greatest look following an extensive and scattergun approach to recruiting players in the winter.
Newcastle United are eyeing a summer transfer swoop for Watford youngster Adrian Blake, according to a recent report.
The Lowdown: Newcastle planning for the future
Newcastle’s recent additions to their backroom staff indicate they are putting a real focus on developing young players, recently agreeing a deal to bring in former Manchester City talent spotter Paul McLaren.
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the Magpies are also set to poach Manchester United’s Head of Young Recruitment David Harrison, who will be brought in to work for the first team and oversee signings for the academy from clubs around the world.
Eddie Howe has already started to add youngsters to his squad, bringing in Garang Kuol from Central Coast Mariners earlier this season, while Juventus winger Samuel Iling-Junior is also being eyed for a potential summer switch.
The Latest: Blake targeted
As per a report from The Athletic, Newcastle are targeting a summer move for Blake, who has recently been promoted to Watford’s first-team squad, despite the fact he is just 17-years-old.
The teenager’s scholarship with the Championship club is set to expire at the end of June, and the Magpies, along with fellow Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, are monitoring his situation, as are additional clubs from mainland Europe.
A Premier League scout who spoke to The Athletic claims that the prospect has impressed when playing for the under 21’s this season, and he is highly regarded by a number of clubs due to his competence in one v one situations, as well as his ability to use both feet.
Given that Watford do not have the best record in giving youth players a first team pathway, the report details that a move elsewhere is highly likely.
The Verdict: Get it done?
The London-born winger has made just one substitute appearance for the Watford first team, indicating he is some way off being a viable option for Newcastle, however his record at youth level indicates he is an exciting young player.
In the FA Youth Cup this season, the Englishman has scored two goals and bagged two assists in four appearances, and his teammate Ezio Touray has recently named him as the most talented young player at Vicarage Road.
Considering the level of interest in Blake, the Magpies face a real battle for his signature, but he is an excellent young player, showing signs that he is capable of one day being an important first team player.
Journalist Joshua Barrie has claimed that Rangers defender Ben Davies has a weakness in the air but his passing ability “outweighs any negatives”.
What’s the latest on Ben Davies and Rangers?
In the summer, the Ibrox outfit paid Liverpool £4m to land the centre-back permanently on a four-year deal and he has since established himself as a regular in the team.
Indeed, manager Michael Beale has started him in every Scottish Premiership game so far since taking over, with Rangers yet to lose.
Despite plenty of positives to focus on for Davies, it seems as though their could be a vulnerability to his game that could come back to haunt the club in the future.
When speaking on the Rangers Review podcast, Barrie noted that the 27-year-old isn’t “dominant” in the air and can look “suspect” in certain situations.
He said (18:58): “I think at points, Ben Davies in the air, looks a little bit suspect. I don’t think he’s that dominant – that’s something he’s acknowledged himself.
“But with that being said, what he gives you on the ball, what he gives you in trying to break down a defence. Playing, whether it be those lofted balls, diagonals over the top, or whether it be those kinds of wrapped passes into the striker’s feet, I think that far outweighs any negatives.”
Could Davies be a problem for Rangers?
In a scouting report on the player before arrived in Scotland, it was noted that he could have issues in the air. After all, while he was successful in 77.87 per cent of his defensive duels during his final season with Sheffield United, but won just 58.43 per cent of his aerial duels.
What’s more, in the league this season when compared to other Rangers centre-backs Connor Goldson and James Sands, he wins the least amount of aerial duels per 90 (via WhoScored).
With that all in mind, it certainly does seem as though he has a slight weakness in his game but so long as manager Beale is happy with everything else he can bring to Ibrox, then it seems as though he’ll continue getting regular starts for the foreseeable future.
Newcastle United fell to only their second Premier League defeat this season on Saturday, both of which have come against Liverpool, on a rare off-day during a tremendously high-flying campaign so far.
Early goals from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo gave the Reds a commanding and perhaps surprising advantage, given the Magpies’ fourth-placed position and the visitors’ well-documented struggles of late.
Magpies manager Eddie Howe will have been disappointed with his team’s uncharacteristically sluggish start, but it was the ever-reliable Nick Pope’s reckless handling outside of the penalty box midway through the first half, resulting in a red card, which sealed the home side’s fate.
Despite the loss, which now leaves Newcastle without a win in four league games, there were a smattering of displays which offer hope that the recent blip can be rectified ahead of the business end of the campaign.
Was Saint-Maximin Newcastle’s shining light vs Liverpool?
Despite Newcastle falling to defeat at St James’ Park, Allan Saint-Maximin was the shining light against Jurgen Klopp’s side. While Howe will rue the missed opportunity to cement his team’s position within the Champions League places, he can be confident that the French dynamo is returning to form at an opportune moment in the campaign.
As per Transfermarkt, the £70k-p/w winger has only scored one goal this season, also providing three assists, and he has been restricted to seven league starts due to injury and his less than prolific form.
However, as per Sofascore, only Kieran Trippier bettered Saint-Maximin’s 7.7 match rating for Newcastle, with the dynamic winger hitting the woodwork and taking three shots, one of which was on target. He succeeded with seven of his nine dribbles and was the progressive force which ensured that, despite being a man light for most of the game, the Magpies proved dangerous in their endeavours.
Taking 48 touches, making two key passes and completing 84% of his passes, Saint-Maximin’s ball-playing prowess took centre stage, while he also got stuck in off the ball by winning seven duels, and he must now be unleashed on a regular basis if the Toon are to soar once again after thieir recent blip.
Hailed by journalist Thomas Hammond as the “MOTM”, a billing also conferred on the 25-year-old by Jamie Carragher, Saint-Maximin was praised by Chronicle reporter Ciaran Kelly for “showing some fight” despite his team facing an uphill battle following Pope’s first-half dismissal.
In spite of this setback, there remains plenty of cause for optimism on Tyneside, with the tantalising taste of silverware looming around the corner as Manchester United await in the Carabao Cup final.
A repeat performance from Saint-Maximin at Wembley next week could go a long way towards Howe taking silverware back to Tyneside.
