Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle United, might be quite busy in the January transfer window. Eduard Spertsyan, a Newcastle transfer target, has stated that he can be acquired for just £13 million in January, ahead of a winter bidding war between at least two Premier League clubs. Spertsyan, an attacking midfielder, has been connected with a number of high-profile European clubs. In the Russian Premier League, the 23-year-old has starred for Krasnodar. A prohibition on Russian clubs competing in Europe, however, has led the brilliant playmaker to seek a new challenge. Spertsyan has five goals and three assists in…
According to Sky Sports journalistwe Zinny Bosll, West Ham player James Ward-Prowse would have been called up for England if he was playing for a top-six Premier League team. Gareth Southgate has not selected the midfielder for the Three Lions’ upcoming matches against Australia and Italy. Instead, Southgate has gone with Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Jordan Henderson, Conor Gallagher, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Kalvin Phillips. “James Ward-Prowse is an obvious candidate to replace Phillips,” Sky Sports’ Boswell wrote. “Despite his six assists for new club West Ham this season, he was overlooked for England once again.” Ward-Prowse’s fate might have been different…
Eddie Howe is no longer interested in losing Jamaal Lascelles to Newcastle United if he returns to the starting lineup. According to The Northern Echo, Lascelles was mentioned as a likely departee in the summer. According to the report, that viewpoint has now shifted as a result of the captain’s impact since his return. Lascelles has been filling in for the injured Sven Botman in key crucial games and has barely missed a beat. And after spending so much time on the bench, Lascelles must have been overjoyed to lead his team out against PSG. Of all, Lascelles’ condition is…
And if Edouard Spertsyan’s performances over the last year or two are any indication, it could be a steal of a cost. While scarcely a household name on Tyneside or anywhere else in England, Spertsyan’s five goals and three assists in 11 Russian Premier League outings this season only tells half the story of his creative abilities. Newcastle United scouted this rough diamond of a playmaker a few months ago, according to Russia-based website MetaRatings, with Spertsyan driving the show as Armenia crushed Wales in a European Championship qualifier. While Newcastle did not make an offer over the summer, the…
Nottingham Forest will play Liverpool in front of a smaller-than-expected crowd at Anfield later this month, after the Merseyside club’s decision to postpone the full completion of the new Anfield Road stand until next year. On Sunday, October 29 (2 p.m. kick-off), Forest will travel to Liverpool to face Jurgen Klopp’s team in the Premier League. It was originally planned that the new stand would be ready by then, but that will no longer be the case. Complications emerged after original contractors Buckingham Group went into insolvency a month ago, but a phased reopening was planned after bringing Rayner Rowen…
When Steve Cooper named Murillo in his Nottingham Forest team to face Brentford it felt like a gamble. The Brazilian had been impressing in training since his summer move to the City Ground, but it still seemed a bold call to make in an important game. Even more so as his inclusion came as part of a reshuffled back line which also saw Moussa Niakhate switched to left-back. Murillo hadn’t even been on the bench for the Reds prior to that match. He was young and had been in England little more than a month. Surely it was a risk? He was very…
It doesn’t seem like it’s been long since Nottingham Forest’s hectic summer deadline day, but the January transfer window is quickly approaching. When the window reopens, the Reds are unlikely to have to do much work. They brought in 13 new players throughout the summer, with the majority of them making an impact in the Premier League. However, with the club eager to make progress this season, January might still be a crucial month. There’s still a long way to go, and a lot can change, but we take a look at what Forest might be looking to transfer. In…
Leeds United centre-back Charlie Cresswell is on England under-21 duty this week, hoping to impress at St George’s Park as game time under Daniel Farke remains scarce. Leeds’ enhanced depth in the Championship this season means that many young players aren’t getting the opportunity they hoped for. Because Pascal Struijk and Joe Rodon have formed a fantastic relationship, Charlie Cresswell’s playing time in the Championship has been limited this season after a great loan at Millwall. Cresswell, who was named to England’s under-21 team again this month, will be aiming for minutes in a Three Lions shirt after last starting…
West Ham, Brentford, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Bournemouth, and Nottingham Forest are among the clubs interested in signing a Tottenham target in 2024 – maybe in January, according to rumours. Harry Kane, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappe have all started the new campaign in the manner that you would anticipate. Indeed, Mbappe has seven goals in seven games for PSG in Ligue 1, whereas Haaland has eight goals in eight games for Man City in the Premier League. Kane has gone one step further, scoring eight goals in seven Bundesliga games. All three genuine superstars, though, are vastly outclassed by Stuttgart’s…
Hennessey hasn’t played for Forest since playing on the final day of the 2022/23 season against Crystal Palace. He didn’t participate in pre-season due to an injury and is now considered the third choice at the City Ground. Hennessey would have appreciated getting some minutes in front of a Welsh crowd last night. He competes with Danny Ward for the gloves right now and hopes to get the nod when Wales faces Croatia at the weekend. This was a comfortable performance for the Forest goalkeeper. Hennessey touched the ball just seven times, according to Sofa Score and maintained a 6/10 rating from…
