Ruben Neves looks unlikely to leave Wolves in the January transfer window, journalist Ben Jacobs has claimed.
What’s the word?
The Portugal international is Wolves’ club captain, and with his side fighting a relegation battle, it would be a devastating blow to lose him midway through the season.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs, but whilst a summer move may be on the cards, a January move is not, with the midfielder set to stay for the rest of the campaign.
Speaking on NUFC Matters, Jacobs claimed that Neves would not leave despite rumours about Newcastle making a move.
He said: “Wolves have turned their form and season around under Julen Lopetegui. Neves is their captain, Wolves didn’t allow him to leave towards the back end of the summer – and the same, by the way, for Joao Moutinho as well.
“So long before form was turned around, because Wolves had a dreadful end to last season and a poor start to this season, the club still stood very firm that they wanted to keep hold of their best players, and Wolves, at the moment, don’t want to be seen as a selling club.
“So I think that there’s very real substance to Neves moving somewhere in the summer, especially if he can get Champions League football. We know that Arsenal have looked, we know that Liverpool have got a relatively concrete interest as well, but again, it’s more forward planning.
“I would put Neves in the category of Jude Bellingham; Alexis McAllister; possibly, not definitely, but in likelihood, Moises Caicedo as well, in the sense that these are players you’ve got to work on now, but it becomes quite unlikely you’re going to get them now.”
A summer farewell
The summer window seems like the right opportunity for Wolves to part ways with their skipper and gain a big fee for him whilst his value is high.
And it appears he may not be the only one, with Liverpool thought to be after summer signing Matheus Nunes ahead of the summer window,
Although losing him would be a big blow, given the interest in him, as well as the fact that his contract expires in 2024, it would be the final chance for Wolves to get a large enough fee to help replace him adequately.
The central midfielder has scored 28 times in 236 games since joining from FC Porto in 2017 and looks destined to join a club competing in Europe nearer the top end of the table, but the Old Gold’s stance is more than understandable considering the current threat to their Premier League status.
Manchester United could make a move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, amid a major revelation at his current club.
What’s the word?
The Serbian Vlahovic has emerged as one of the most prolific strikers on the scene after bursting into prominence in the Italian Serie A with Fiorentina, before signing for the Old Lady in a £66.6m deal in January 2022.
The Red Devils have previously registered an interest, with The Telegraph reporting that the Premier League giants view the 22-year-old as a long-term successor to the talismanic throne at Old Trafford.
But now, according to 90min, the attacking focal point has been offered to United, alongside other teams, after Juventus’ failure to qualify for the Champions League knockout phase and the shocking news of a 15-point deduction following an investigation into misdealing on the transfer front, a blow that knocks the club down to tenth.
Ronaldo repeat
United manager Erik ten Hag deserves all the plaudits for his diligent work in entering the Theatre of Dreams and providing a new layer of paint to bring back vibrancy and style in abundance, with the prestigious outfit in fourth place in the league – six points above fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur and with a game in hand ahead of the forthcoming clash against table-toppers Arsenal.
Also in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup and still in contention in the FA Cup and the Europa League, Ten Hag will be delighted with the gains made in such a short space of time following an abysmal campaign last time out.
All this comes amid the fog that is Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure in November, terminating his contract by mutual consent after becoming disillusioned with life under his unwavering new Dutch manager.
And now, Juventus’ Vlahovic could be the catalyst for success in Manchester with the light of the recent reports; 30-year-old Wout Weghorst has been signed on a loan deal until the end of the season, but it is Vlahovic who could indeed take the vacant gilt-coated crown that the legendary Portuguese phenom has left in his wake.
The “monster” – as hailed by journalist Carlo Garganese – has racked up an impressive 57 goals and nine assists from just 123 Serie A appearances, and has netted seven times from 15 outings this season, in a term hampered by consistent injury setbacks.
And with FBref also ranking him among the top 15% in his position across Europe for progressive passes received and total shots, there is a clear illustration of his desire to shower a consistent goal threat against his opposition with his relentless pursuit in and around the penalty area.
The statistical site compares the player to the man himself Ronaldo, a man who coincidentally also left Juve for Old Trafford. It’s clear the pair’s skill sets match up nicely, which is a further reason to pounce on a burgeoning talent still at the early stage of a prosperous professional career.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo has scored 701 goals from 949 appearances at club level, and a further 118 from 196 with the Portuguese national team, and will go down as one of football’s greatest forwards.
As per Whoscored, Ronaldo indeed bears a semblance to his Serbian counterpart, with Vlahovic’s career average of 2.6 shots per game and 1.7 aerials won displaying promising signs of a developing aura as an imposing figure, compared to Ronaldo’s remarkable 6.1 shots per outing and 1.3 aerials.
With these factors in mind, Vlahovic could be the star-studded acquisition desired by the Old Trafford hierarchy, a clinical force capable of replicating the recently-departed Ronaldo and providing a blistering goal-scoring return with such regularity that defenders stand befuddled by the prowess at the tip of the United sword.
Everton suffered their 11th defeat of the season in their Premier League clash with West Ham United yesterday and now Frank Lampard could be set to lose his job at Goodison Park.
What’s the latest?
According to Football Insider, Everton are preparing to sack the former Chelsea boss following the 2-0 defeat at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
As per the report, Lampard’s position was already under major threat ahead of the clash with David Moyes’ struggling side and the club’s hierarchy had already met on Friday to discuss the manager’s future at the club and possible scenarios to follow.
Moshiri could save their season
Despite Farhad Moshiri’s fractured relationship with the Goodison Park faithful, the majority stakeholder now has another opportunity to make things right by appointing a manager who can retain Everton’s Premier League status, with the club one of the only sides to never be relegated from the top flight since it was established in 1992.
The Toffees are currently 19th in the table after collecting just 15 points out of a possible 60 and tallying up just three wins, something that must drastically improve instantly to comfortably survive this season.
Lampard currently has a dreadful 17.39% win record, collecting just 0.78 points per game over 23 fixtures so far this term and has been prematurely knocked out of both the League Cup and FA Cup in the last few months.
One manager who has been continuously linked with the challenging role on Merseyside is former Burnley boss Sean Dyche who has been out of action since being sacked by the recently relegated side in April last year after a decade of service at Turf Moor.
The 51-year-old manager took Burnley from the Championship to a Premier League-established side during his tenure – finishing seventh in their second season in the top tier, which is an impressive achievement.
Over 258 Premier League games managed, Dyche – who was hailed “incredible” by none other than Pep Guardiola – picked up points in 140 games recording 72 wins and 68 draws.
Indeed, the out-of-work manager did find himself battling relegation with Burnley on a number of occasions during their six-season stint in the Premier League, however, quickly became renowned for his expertise in grinding out results and ultimately saving the club time and time again from the drop, despite having limitations on reinvestment and quality in his team.
With that being said, it remains to be seen whether the powerbrokers at Goodison Park will sack Lampard ahead of their next clash with Arsenal in just under two weeks’ time, however, if they are intending to move on it would be advantageous to get a manager like Dyche in now to give them as much time as possible to turn things around.
Journalist Ben Jacobs has insisted that Arsenal are slowly ‘creeping into the conversation’ to land American ace Weston McKennie.
The Lowdown: Arsenal to hijack McKennie deal
Arsenal may well be forced to act this late on in the transfer window due to the injury sustained by Mohamed Elneny, which has now left Mikel Arteta worrying over the centre of his midfield and with fewer rotation options.
The Gunners have indeed been credited with an interest in McKennie, who looks set to leave Juventus amid their off-field issues – but they may need to accelerate their process to beat Leeds United to the signing.
Leeds are said to be moving very quickly when it comes to negotiations with Juventus and McKennie, having already agreed personal terms, while Fabrizio Romano has recently revealed talks with the West Yorkshire side are ‘progressing well’.
The Latest: McKennie attracting a lot of interest
Jacobs insisted on Wednesday’s edition of The Done Deal Show that while Leeds are moving forward with McKennie, that hasn’t stopped Arsenal from trying to bully their way into the transfer talks with the United States international.
He said: “This one’s going to be really interesting. Leeds have already agreed broad personal terms with Weston McKennie, but nothing is signed.
“Arsenal have crept into the conversation a little bit later, and we know that they would be in the market for a midfielder, for sure – [Mohamed Elneny] is injured and the beauty of Weston McKennie is he that can play almost anywhere, really.”
The Verdict: Edu must seal the deal
It would be a big coup for Arsenal if they were to prise someone such as McKennie away from a European giant and powerhouse such as Juventus mid-season despite their the Turin club’s current woes, as he would only enhance their title bid given his experience at the top level.
If Arsenal start to do more than just creep into the conversation about McKennie, it would surely be a simple decision for him to pick the Gunners – who are on course for a superb Premier League season – over Leeds, as he could end up as a Championship player in a few months’ time.
Therefore, we think Edu has to move quickly, as the claims to emerge since Jacobs’ comments suggest Leeds are favourites to secure McKennie’s signature.
However, we have seen in recent weeks that transfer hijacks are very much in season, and in light of Elneny’s injury issues, McKennie could well be a long-term replacement for the Egyptian midfielder and become a decent deputy for Thomas Partey in the Gunners midfield as well as aid their title charge.
Journalist Joshua Barrie has urged Rangers to sign Malik Tillman from parent club Bayern Munich.
The Lowdown: Shining on loan
The American joined the Scottish Premiership giants last summer on loan from the Bundesliga outfit, and his stint with the Gers runs out at the end of the season – but the Ibrox club have the option to buy him in the summer.
Tillman has five goals and four assists from 21 league appearances so far this season, with his last goal for Michael Beale’s side coming against Dundee United at the start of the month.
Based on Sofascore’s average league ratings, Tillman ranks in the top ten best-performing Rangers players from the 2022/23 campaign so far, but it remains to be seen what his future holds.
The Latest: Barrie wants Tillman signed
Barrie believes that the Gers should look to sign him on a permanent deal when speaking on Monday’s edition of The Rangers Review, claiming that Beale could make a lot of money from Tillman if they sold him in the future.
He stated: “He’s so good. 20 years old, there’s not been a better player in the squad this season. I don’t understand the argument that you shouldn’t buy him. I don’t think you’re going to get a better player for that money.
“So if anyone thinks that Rangers still shouldn’t buy Tillman, there might be some good arguments against it. I think you’ll make a lot of money on him in the future as well.”
The Verdict: A promising talent
We believe that Beale should do all he can to bring Tillman in on a permanent basis, as he’s a promising talent and has the potential to have a bright future ahead of him.
It would seem that the Rangers boss is in agreement. When speaking to BBC Sport, he labelled the American as a ‘fantastic talent’ and the ‘exact type of player that we want at this football club’.
Tillman has been with Bayern from a very young age, with his time at the German outfit dating back to his youth days in 2015.
He’ll have been exposed to some of the best coaching in the world, so whilst he may not potentially go on to be a star for the Bundesliga side, he would be a great hand for Rangers in the long term.
Beale could get plenty of football out of Tillman, who is far from his prime years and therefore offers plenty of potential resale value. So in our view, a permanent transfer would be a win-win for Rangers, as they could get some quality campaigns out of him and then potentially sell him later on for a high price tag if they are unable to retain his services further down the line.
Joe Nicholson has claimed on The Roar podcast that Danny Batth and Dan Ballard will be crucial for Sunderland against Millwall.
The Lowdown: Sunderland up against it
Sunderland are set to face one of the most in-form teams when it comes to playing at home this season with Millwall losing just two games in the Championship thus far.
As if that wasn’t a difficult enough task already, the fact that Sunderland are set to be without their top scorer in the form of Ross Stewart is a monumental blow for Tony Mowbray who will be relying on youngster Joe Gelhardt.
Mowbray will indeed be able to once again call upon Batth and Ballard who will be very important as Sunderland look to keep Millwall at bay from set pieces as they’ve scored the most from dead-ball scenarios in the league.
The Latest: Millwall dangerous from set pieces
Batth and Ballard are six foot two and six foot one respectively, so Nicholson believes they will be key to Sunderland not shipping goals from set piece this weekend.
He said: (17:20) “Yeah that’s been a concern for Sunderland in the past, set pieces, especially earlier in the season when they had lots of injuries and now they’ve lost Stewart for the season while he’s a striker, he is quite effective in his own penalty area clearing corners.
“They’ve now got Danny Batth back from injury and Dan Ballard they’ve played the last two and formed what looks like a good partnership, so that could be really important with Millwall kind of posing that threat from set pieces, that’s definitely one to watch out for.”
The Verdict: Mowbray faces a tough test
Given that Sunderland currently boast the youngest squad on average in the Championship, it will be a huge ask for them to go away to The Den that’s likely to be sold out given limited tickets are left on sale, and pick up a positive result.
This is mainly because Millwall are indeed higher in the table than Sunderland, very rarely lose at home and will be right up for revenge after the Black Cats inflicted a 3-0 defeat on them earlier in the season.
All teams will be gutted when they concede from set pieces as they’re very cheap goals to be given away and Mowbray will surely have been doing his work on the training pitch to scheme up a way to combat Millwall’s obvious threat from dead-ball situations.
As a club with a rich history of promoting young talent – from the famed Lisbon Lions right up to current skipper, Callum McGregor – Celtic appear to constantly be churning out up-and-coming stars who can go on to thrive either at Parkhead, or beyond.
One such youngster who is currently creating a lot of buzz in Glasgow at present is promising teenager, Rocco Vata, with the highly-rated 17-year-old – who is the son of ex-Hoops defender Rudi Vata – having already forced his way into the first team.
The gifted playmaker – who has been attracting interest from clubs across Europe in recent times – was notably handed his senior debut by manager Ange Postecoglou back in December despite his youth, with that a marker of just how highly-regarded he is by the Old Firm outfit.
A player with an “exciting future ahead”, according to talent scout Jacek Kulig, the playmaking Irishman was also involved in the club’s Sydney Super Cup voyage during the World Cup break, after previously earning a place in the pre-season friendly trip to Austria.
Although there may be fears that the Glasgow-born gem could follow the likes of Ben Doak in securing a move to the Premier League, with both Manchester City and Arsenal reportedly keeping tabs on his progress, the hope will be that he can go on to make further strides under Postecoglou moving forward.
The 5 foot 9 dynamo has certainly showcased his attacking flair in the youth ranks of late, having already scored 11 goals in all competitions so far this season, including nine goals in just 15 Lowland League games for the club’s ‘B’ team.
Such quality has notably seen Vata earn comparisons to current Chelsea and England star, Raheem Sterling from talent scout Jake McGhee due to his ‘dribbling and flair’, with that an indication of the possible diamond that Postecoglou currently has on his hands.
The fact that the youngster has been described as a player who “has a fantastic ability to beat people and create chances”, according to youth coach Darren O’Dea, appears to showcase just why those Sterling comparisons ring true, with the experienced Englishman also possessing such dynamic traits.
That is evidenced by the fact that the 28-year-old – who, like Vata, can feature all across the forward line – ranks in the top 3% in Europe among his fellow forwards for progressive carries as well as in the top 7% for successful take-ons, thus illustrating his innate knack for breezing past opposition defenders.
The 82-cap speedster is no doubt an impressive figure to be likened to, having most notably racked up 131 goals and 95 assists in 339 games during a glittering spell at the Etihad, while also being described as “frightening” by talkSPORT pundit Tony Cascarino last year.
To be able to emulate what is arguably a “world-class player” – according to ex-Everton boss Frank Lampard – will take some doing as far as Vata is concerned, although it bodes well for the career that he could go on to enjoy to have been compared to such an elite attacking talent.
Glasgow Rangers enjoyed a relatively quiet month during the January transfer window as they only made two additions to their first-team squad.
Ross Wilson worked with Michael Beale to bring in Nicolas Raskin and Todd Cantwell, from Standard Liege and Norwich respectively, on permanent deals to bolster the side heading into the second half of the campaign.
Raskin made his debut off the bench in the 2-1 win over Ross County in the Scottish Premiership last Saturday and he came onto the pitch after Cantwell had already stolen the show.
The English attacking midfielder recorded a Sofascore rating of 8.1 as he played a starring role in the win. As per Sofascore, the gem completed 94% of his attempted passes, created two chances, assisted one goal, and won six of his eight individual duels during his 83 minutes of action.
He ran the show in the middle of the park by showing quality, energy, and enthusiasm throughout the match. His effervescence on the pitch dictated the tempo of Rangers’ attacking play and allowed them to pepper the County defence.
It was an impressive display from the 24-year-old and one that Gers supporters could look forward to seeing from another member of the first-team in the future – Alex Lowry.
The 19-year-old gem is an up-and-coming attacking midfielder at the club and Michael Beale could strike gold by unleashing the dynamo as a Cantwell clone, or alternative, when the Englishman is unavailable to play or in need of a rest.
Former Gers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst oncehailed the dynamo’s style of play and quality, saying: “You could see the Alex you see now on the pitch with moments where he’s very dangerous and very energetic and creating dangerous chances.
“At times you also saw his youthfulness when he had to pay faster but that’s a normal process for him. I’m really pleased for him with the way he’s performing just now.”These comments suggest that Lowry, who can play out wide or as a number ten like the January signing, is similar to Cantwell in that he brings a lot of energy and creativity to the pitch in midfield.The Light Blues academy graduate, who has scored two goals and provided two assists in 11 first-team matches, has also showcased his ability to make a big impact in the final third at youth level. He has scored 11 goals and assisted two in 15 B Team outings since the start of last season, which shows that the teenager can be a match-winner from midfield.In an interview with The Athletic, Scottish coach Andy Goldie once hailed Lowry as being a “master” of the ball, just as Cantwell was against Ross County, and Beale could now strike gold for the Gers by handing the talent more opportunities to play – alongside or in place of the ex-Norwich man – in the coming months.
Journalist Alasdair Gold has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur player Ryan Sessegnon is “absolutely devastated” after picking up a hamstring injury.
What’s the latest on Sessegnon’s injury at Spurs?
It was a pretty bad day for Spurs on Saturday as they were thumped 4-1 away from home against Leicester City. Things were going poorly before the game even kicked off, however.
Indeed, Sessegnon was said to be out of the match-day squad entirely with a supposed injury. Since then, it has become clear that the defender is set for an extended spell on the sidelines.
While speaking on his YouTube channel, Gold revealed that the player would be out for “at least six weeks” and that this development has left the player extremely disappointed.
The journalist explained: “Ryan Sessegnon, somehow, in a training session – whether it was the next day, it was certainly pretty close to the game – another hamstring injury.
“Honestly… another hamstring injury, and from what I understand, it is going to keep him out for at least six weeks.”He added: “I’m just gutted for Ryan Sessegnon. I know he’s absolutely devastated by this. 22 years old, poor kid. It just seems to be his thing, hamstring problems.”What does the Sessegnon injury mean for Spurs?Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has trusted Sessegnon fairly regularly so far this season, with the 22-year-old playing 23 games across all competitions already.However, the Italian may have some concerns about the player’s long-term fitness. After all, despite his young age, he has already suffered multiple hamstring injuries and has spent periods on the sidelines before due to various other issues throughout his time in north London and at Fulham before then.In the meantime, it looks as though Ivan Perisic will have to play the bulk of the games on the left side of the Tottenham defence over the coming weeks. He had mostly been sharing minutes with Sessegnon in that role, but the 34-year-old likely won’t get much rest from now on – although Ben Davies also fill in at left-back if Conte opted to change to a back four.
In the early years of the Premier League, in particular, Leeds United were responsible for some of the most iconic moments; strikes, victories, and defeats. Meanwhile, before the beginning of the new era of English football, it was the Yorkshire club on top with incredible success. In fact, one year before the Premier League kicked off, they sat on the English football throne, having won the league title.
Now back in the Premier League for what will be a third season come August, Leeds will be hoping to enjoy more moments to remember, whilst seeing certain players rise to fame in the process.
With that said, we’ve ranked the most famous players in Leeds United’s history.
There are plenty of players in separate positions; you're going to see Leeds' most famous forwards, Leeds' most famous midfielders, and even Leeds' most famous defenders.
10) Ian Harte
When you hear the name Ian Harte, your mind can’t help but instantly picture his incredible free-kick in the 2001 Champions League quarter-final against Deportivo La Coruna.
The full-back was a crucial part of the side that reached the Champions League last four that season.
In addition, he was a key player in the last real golden years of both the Leeds side and the Republic of Ireland national team.
A sorely underrated left-back.
9) Lee Bowyer
It could be argued that Lee Bowyer’s fame has increased since he swapped the pitch for the technical area.
As a player, he impressed many, especially when at Leeds.
Indeed, he played in the semi-finals of both the UEFA Cup and the Champions League with the Whites.
Meanwhile, as a manager, he has taken charge of Charlton Athletic, and, most recently, Birmingham, where he left in July of this year.
8) Mark Viduka
When we think of underrated strikers, we think of Mark Viduka.
The Australian was a goal scoring machine at Leeds United, even netting four in one game against Liverpool at one stage. In total, he scored 71 goals in 164 appearances for the Yorkshire club.
Viduka was a deadly finisher and also had the ability to score goals from distance, with a truly deadly strike on him.
An Australia legend, too, Viduka may go down as one of the most famous cult heroes of the Premier League era.
7) Gordon Strachan

Like Bowyer, Gordon Strachan’s fame has arguably increased after his playing days.
When on the pitch, Strachan won a league title at Elland Road to match his Player of the Year award.
Meanwhile, as a manager, Strachan has taken charge of Scotland, Celtic, Middlesbrough, and Southampton, most of which with great success.
However, he may well still get the warmest reception at Elland Road.
6) Gary McAllister
Most may know Gary McAllister for his time at Liverpool, but the midfielder actually made far more appearances for Leeds United, where he remains one of the best players to ever play for the club.
During his time at Elland Road, McAllister won one league title, which came in 1992.
He is perhaps better known for his time at Liverpool, but he is one of the greatest players to ever pull on the white shirt.
He even went on to manage the club briefly in 2008.
5) Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
More famous for his time at Chelsea, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink may have only spent one season at Leeds United, but he remains one of the most famous players to feature for the Yorkshire club.
The Dutchman ranks 15th in the Premier League’s all-time top goal scorers list, with 127 goals to his name.
Hasselbaink may well be best known for his time at Chelsea but he was smashing balls into the back of the net at Leeds long before rocking up at Stamford Bridge.
He is one of the very best strikers in Premier League history.
4) James Milner
Still going to this day, James Milner will go down as one of the most iconic Premier League players of all time when he eventually retires.
And he’ll do so having been born and bred at Elland Road. Since his Leeds United days, Milner has won it all in club football, from Premier League titles to Champions League trophies.
Milner went from strength to strength, winning multiple England caps, and playing for both Manchester City and Liverpool.
It wouldn't be a surprise if he ended up as a truly terrific manager too.
3) Robbie Fowler
One of the best goal scorers that the Premier League has ever seen, Robbie Fowler is another player on this list who played for both Leeds United and Liverpool.
At Anfield, he is known as God, which, as you can guess, correlates with his incredible legacy at the club.
Meanwhile, at Leeds, he didn’t exactly have the worst of times, scoring 14 goals in 32 games.
He also bagged the club a decent fee when he left, at a time when the club really needed the money.
2) Rio Ferdinand
Now, this one will be controversial. Leeds fans don’t exactly hold a special place for Rio Ferdinand, to say the least, who jumped ship to rivals Manchester United in 2002, before going on to win six Premier League titles, one Champions League, and plenty of other honours at Old Trafford.
Ferdinand was also able to nail down a spot in the England squad, representing his country at multiple European Championships and World Cups.
He was a truly elite centre-back from the moment he made his debut at West Ham, such was his range of passing and breadth of defensive skill.
He may have left, but Ferdinand remains one of Leeds' best ever players.
1) Eric Cantona

Like Ferdinand, Eric Cantona played for both Leeds United and Manchester United during his career, making the move from Elland Road to Old Trafford. He remains one of the best players to ever play for both clubs.
Of course, one could make the argument that he is one of the biggest mistakes in Leeds history.
They sold him for just over £1m and he went on to inspire United to an era of unprecedented glory.
Still, what a player.
So, there you have it, our list of the most famous players to ever play for Leeds United. Were there any surprises? Did we leave anyone out? Let us know!
Those at Elland Road will be well aware that success forms a correlation with fame.
It remains to be seen how many current Leeds players will be added to this list come the end of the season.
