Timo Werner, a former Chelsea striker, is expected to join Tottenham on a temporary loan from RB Leipzig for the remainder of the season. Manchester United was also interested in the forward.

Due to Manchester United’s indecision, Tottenham was able to quickly close a deal for Timo Werner.

The German forward is about to be moved by the north London side. He will extend his season-long loan from RB Leipzig to Spurs in order to increase Ange Postecoglou’s attacking options.

Should the loan arrangement work out well, Spurs will have the opportunity to sign Werner long-term. Man United is outperformed by their acquisition of the former Chelsea player, as the Red Devils were previously rumored to be interested in the German.

It is now clear why they haven’t tried to take advantage of Spurs’ agreement. It’s unclear what kind of forward the Red Devils want to sign in January, which is why reports from Italy claim they haven’t solidified their interest.

More offensive options are desperately needed by Erik ten Hag’s team to win the rest of the campaign. Man United has only netted 22 goals in 20 games so far this season.

arrival of £72 million Compared to Marcus Rashford, who scored the most goals in the league last season, Rasmus Hojlund has only scored one goal in the Premier League thus far this season.

Last month, Ten Hag jumped to the defense of his forwards. “I know that Rashford, [Rasmus] Hojlund, Antony, Garnacho, Bruno [Fernandes], and Scott McTominay are capable of scoring goals,” the speaker stated.

“We are not currently scoring goals from set plays, but we do have players on our team who are capable of doing so. They must remain united and have confidence in their own abilities.”

The Red Devils will now have to concentrate on other targets because Werner is expected to move to Tottenham. Serhou Guirassy of Stuttgart has been connected to a transfer to Old Trafford in the past following an impressive Bundesliga season debut.

They also have another striker based in Germany as an option. Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting of Bayern Munich is allegedly amenable to a loan transfer to Old Trafford after slipping in Thomas Tuchel’s hierarchy.

Werner will be looking to return to his goal-scoring ways in North London. In 89 appearances during his previous stint in England with Chelsea, the 27-year-old scored 23 goals.

After returning to RB Leipzig the previous season, he scored 16 goals in his first year of play. He has only scored twice this season and has failed to maintain that great form.

What Thierry Henry did to Mo Salah instantly after penalty defeat will break every Liverpool fan’s heart

Published

on

Thierry Henry has passed over Mohammed Salah as his top choice for the Ballon d’Or, preferring a LaLiga star.

Salah is a top contender for the annual award after a remarkable season with Liverpool. The Egyptian forward is having the finest season of his career, with 32 goals and 22 assists in all competitions for the Reds. Salah’s outstanding performance has helped Liverpool take a 15-point lead over closest rivals Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table. The 32-year-old is seven points ahead of Erling Haaland in the battle for the Premier League golden boot, having scored 27 goals, while he is three short of Henry and Kevin De Bruyne’s joint assist record of 20.

The former Arsenal and Barcelona forward believes Raphinha is now ahead of Salah in the race. Raphinha, who joined Barcelona from Leeds in 2022, has 27 goals and 19 assists this season. The Brazilian attacker leads this season’s Champions League with 11 goals, while Salah has three. Henry cited Raphinha’s success in Europe, with Barcelona reaching to the quarter-finals, as well as Salah and Harry Kane’s goal totals, which have been enhanced by penalties. Salah has 11 penalty goals this season, compared to Raphinha’s one in all competitions.

Raphinha, when people talk about being a complete striker, they mean knowing how to put pressure on opponents, defend, and assist your full back. And he has everything.’ While Salah and Liverpool were eliminated from the last 16 on penalties by PSG on Tuesday night, Raphinha scored twice to help Barcelona defeat Benfica 4-1 on aggregate and advance to the last eight. Barcelona now awaits the victors of the last-16 match between Borussia Dortmund and Lille. Salah will attempt to help Liverpool recover from their Champions League exit when they meet Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

BREAKING NEWS: Premier League release the final decision on Amad Diallo’s disallowed goal after a thorough review

Published

on

 

 

During their match against Fulham on Sunday, the Premier League issued a statement to explain why the video assistant referee (VAR) did not enable Manchester United to score a late goal.

Amad Diallo believed that he had scored the game-winning goal for Ruben Amorim’s team in the 94th minute, while they were leading 1-0 courtesy to Lisandro Martinez’s deflected attempt when the goal was scored.

After playing a wonderful one-two with Joshua Zirkzee, the Ivorian player then sent a low strike beneath Bernd Leno in the final minute of stoppage time.

Nevertheless, after observing an incident in the buildup to the goal at Stockley Park, the video assistant referee, Jarred Gillett, and the video assistant referee, Darren Cann, reviewed the goal.

After that, the goal was disallowed by the referee, Anthony Taylor, and United was able to maintain their grasp on the ball in order to clinch a crucial three points at Craven Cottage.

The Premier League has also stated that Amad’s goal against the 23-year-old was disallowed because of offside. Replays have shown that Amad’s shoulder was slightly ahead of Timothy Castagne, which led to the goal being disallowed.

The following message was sent on their official Match Centre account on X (which was then known as Twitter): “Amad’s goal was initially awarded on the pitch to him.” After conducting an investigation, the video assistant referee (VAR) determined that Amad was in an offside position during the buildup, and he suggested that the goal be disallowed.

During his post-match interview, Amorim did not discuss the goal that was disallowed; rather, he concentrated on commenting on the performance of his side in west London.

Following the cancellation of Amad’s late goal and the goal-line clearing made by Toby Collyer, Amorim expressed his satisfaction with his team’s tenacity in achieving just their third victory away from home this season.

Having this sensation when away from home is something that is quite significant. Very strong support from our fans who are away. According to the Portuguese player, “It was not a great game, and there were no great chances.”

We made an effort to play our game, but we have a lot of room for improvement. We are in possession of the final outcome, and we have already won the game; it is of the utmost importance to win at this point.

In addition, he stated that the clean sheet was “really important because it is obvious that you are getting closer to winning games, and it gives you confidence.” Today, we did not experience a great deal of suffering, which is a positive indicator. We put in a goal, and now we are moving on to the next game.

In the meanwhile, Amad was unable to score his tenth goal of the season, Rasmus Hojlund was unable to add to his two goals, and Joshua Zirkzee did not do much during his cameo appearance off the bench.

Amorim, who will turn 40 tomorrow, was not under any illusions about the areas in which his team has to improve. He continued by saying, “Even in the second half, we changed things, and we lack some pace and power in front, but it is what it is.”

If we want to have more opportunities, we need to have more ball. We have a lot of trouble with these particulars. We are able to make significant progress when we are successful.

Following that, on Thursday, United will travel to Romania to compete against FCSB in the Europa League. On February 1, they will then play host to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
