      Dean Huijsen warned dream Real Madrid transfer could turn into his worst nightmare with ‘pretty face’ not enough to play

      by

      DEAN HUIJSEN has been warned a dream move to Real Madrid could turn into his worst nightmare.The Bournemouth centre-back is high on the Santiago Bernabeu hitlist after an amazing debut season in England.Dean Huijsen was warned by former coach Juanito that a move to Real Madrid may turn into a nightmareCredit: RexHuijsen has taken the Premier League by storm with BournemouthCredit: RexThe Spanish giants are preparing to trigger the £50million release clause on a contract that runs to 2030.Yet the man who gave the Netherlands-born Spain defender his break believes joining Real would be a step backwards — because he would struggle to get a game.And the best big-picture decision would be for the 19-year-old to stick with the Cherries for now, as the queue of would-be suitors will only get bigger.Juan Gutierrez, 45, was on the coaching staff at Malaga when Huijsen arrived as a ten-year-old and was snapped up by Juventus — ironically ahead of Real — six years later in 2021.Read More on FootballGutierrez — known as Juanito — was blown away by the youngster’s leadership qualities then and has watched them grow every year since, even though he is still so young.But he thinks that would come to a grinding halt at the Bernabeu, as the European champions have always preferred tried-and-tested to potential.Juanito insisted: “Dean is going to be a leader no matter where he goes, so I hope whoever signs him they play him as a starter, and he’s not a project for the future. He is a player for now.”There are very few like that at his age, which is why I don’t know to what extent it would be a good option to sign for Real.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS“No one can guarantee you’ll play because of your pretty face but if he leaves Bournemouth, it shouldn’t be to sit on the bench.“At Madrid, Eder Militao is 27 and Antonio Rudiger is in his second youth.Bournemouth star Dean Huijsen forced to deny being stoned after ‘weird’ question“Those two are untouchable and a recovered David Alaba would also be ahead of him.“Carlo Ancelotti is an incredible manager but not a coach for young players — so Dean would be fourth-choice centre-back. That’s the reality.“Barcelona is the opposite. They’re not afraid to use players from the academy but at Real the problem is the mentality of the club. Dean has to go to a place with a vision for the future, with guarantees he’ll play.“But maybe staying at Bournemouth with Andoni Iraola for another year is the best option.”It has been so far for Huijsen, who was capped by Spain in the recent Nations League break and is due to be in the Bournemouth side heading to West Ham on Saturday.Ramos and Van Dijk comparisonsJuanito is convinced those caps are the first of many for a player some liken to Sergio Ramos — but who he reckons could be as influential as Virgil van Dijk at Liverpool.He added: “Maybe mentally, I can see little things similar to Ramos but on the pitch there is no comparison. Dean is more disciplined and, certainly at this age, more confident.“From the start he was a marvel. He’d listen to what you told him and absorb it incredibly well. He would recognise a mistake and the next day would improve.“Dean just doesn’t feel any pressure and has unlimited self-confidence.Read More on The Sun“If injuries are not a problem then, whoever signs him, he’ll be a cheap buy because he will be a dominant defender in world soccer for many years to come.“Wherever he goes, I could see him having the same impact Van Dijk has had on Liverpool’s history in recent seasons. The only team he’s not going to change is Real Madrid.” More

      Gary Lineker explains why BBC need THREE presenters to replace him on MOTD and gives verdict on trio

      by

      GARY LINEKER suggested he is being replaced by THREE presenters on Match of the Day because it is such a “massive commitment”.Lineker, 64, will step down as host of MOTD after 26 years in May and will leave the Beeb altogether in 2026 after next season’s FA Cup and World Cup.Lineker will be replaced by three presenters on Match of the DayCredit: BBCMOTD2 host Mark Chapman is among the replacementsCredit: PALogan will be a regular on Saturday nights from now onCredit: PASky favourite Cates is making the switchCredit: PAThe legendary presenter will be replaced by a three-person presenting team consisting of Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan, who will rotate from next term.The England great joked that he thinks it’s a compliment that so many people are needed to succeed him, but he admits this decision has nothing to do with his legacy.Instead, the Leicester icon believes this comes down to family reasons as the job would demand they all sacrifice a number of weekends that they could spend with their loved ones over the next few years.The former Everton, Tottenham and Barcelona hitman himself recently stated that he never really had Saturdays and Sundays off throughout his adult life.Read More on FootballSo the TV star claims that having all three available on a rotation basis would allow them to continue enjoying quality time with their families.And he is very much looking forward to watching the new team of “top presenters” doing a “great job”.Lineker told FourFourTwo: “That’s probably down to the fact it’s a massive commitment.“Those three have all got families, and if you’re saying someone is going to do it for the next 10 or 20 years, then your weekends are gone.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS“That might be it, I don’t know.

I take it as a compliment that they’ve named three, but I suspect it’s not due to that.“I haven’t seen them yet to speak to them, but I will do – they’ll be fine and they’ll do a great job. I’ve known them all for years, they’re top presenters.’This is why I don’t talk to old people’ – Maya Jama bites back at Gary Lineker after he revealed relationship status“I’ll be watching, but probably on iPlayer… I don’t think I’ll be watching on Saturday. Maybe the odd time, if I’m in.”Lineker confirmed recently that he will no longer do TV after leaving the BBC and will instead focus on his podcasts. More

      Meet £25m Man Utd target Lorenzo Lucca who’s dubbed ‘Tower of Pisa’ at 6ft 7in and annoyed team-mates with selfish act

      by

      HE is the giant striker known as the “Tower of Pisa” who grew up idolising TWO Manchester United strikers.And while Lorenzo Lucca might have shown he knows how to Pisa-off ALL his team-mates with one act of selfishness this season, he could yet prove to be the answer to Ruben Amorim’s problems up front.Man Utd have made 6ft 7in striker Lorenzo Lucca one of their top targets for the summerCredit: GettyThe Udinese frontman would be a steal at £25mCredit: GettyThe 6ft 7in Lucca, 24, has emerged as a prime candidate as United plan for a cost-efficient summer refit, with a £25m fee mooted.With 12 goals for Udinese this season, catapulting him into the Italy squad for the first time, Lucca has shown he can stand out for more than just his Peter Crouch-like height.And now the boy who had pictures of both Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic on his bedroom wall is in line to become the next Old Trafford totem.In Italy, there is excitement about what Lucca can achieve.Italian football expert Tancredi Palmeri told Sun Sport: “What fans like about Lucca is that we don’t produce strikers of his type any more.“He has exploded onto the scene over the past two seasons because he is seen as a classic centre-forward, old school. There is nobody here like him.”Born on the outskirts of Turin, Lucca joined Torino’s set-up at the age of eight, leaving after seven years before returning to the club in 2018, before a prolific loan spell in Brescia’s youth team.A free transfer to Palermo, relegated to Serie D after financial chaos but swiftly ascending the Italian pyramid, was the launchpad – not that he needs one to be noticed.Lucca’s Serie A stats this seasonCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSLucca scored 13 goals in Serie C to earn a £2m move to Pisa, where his frame brought the nickname comparison with the city’s world-renowned landmark.While Lucca only scored six in his first Serie B season, he caught the eye of Ajax, becoming the first Italian to ever play for the Amsterdam giants.Ruben Amorim’s Garnacho dilemma explained ahead of Manchester derbyLucca scored 13 goals in Serie C to earn a £2m move to Pisa in 2021Credit: GettyIt was, in truth, a mixed stay. Lucca struggled to make an impact under Erik ten Hag’s replacement Alfred Schreuder, making just 16 appearances.Frustrated at one point, Lucca posted – and then swiftly deleted – a photo of him giving a two-fingered salute that was interpreted as a message aimed at the coach.Looking back, Lucca admitted: “Maybe I arrived at the wrong time.It was cold, it rained often. The culture is very different. You eat early. People are closed.”Preparation for Manchester, possibly? But there was a positive impact, too. He added: “Having lived in Amsterdam for a year, I understand English well. And I also learned to speak Spanish.”Lucca spent the 2022/2023 season on loan with AjaxCredit: GettyDespite scoring just twice, Udinese pounced, taking him on an initial one year loan with an £8m option that they took up after eight goals last season, his first in the top flight.Lucca took to the responsibilities, becoming an aerial threat upsetting Serie A defenders but also with the pace to get away from his markers.Palmeri explained: “Lucca had nearly moved to Sassuolo before he went to Ajax but they argued over £2m, when Pisa asked for £12m and they didn’t want to pay that much.“But as soon as he arrived at Udinese people started noticing. He got into the under-21 side and this January he was on the radar of both Juventus and Milan.“They didn’t go for him in the end because Juve signed Randal Kolo Muani and Milan took Santiago Gimenez from Feyenoord but Italian clubs will be keen again this summer.”That is despite the moment of notoriety that saw Lucca’s image going viral.It came in a match with Lecce, when Udinese were awarded a first half penalty.Skipper and former France winger Florian Thauvin was the club’s designated penalty taker but Lucca, looking for his 10th Serie A goal of the campaign, took hold of the ball and refused to let go, much to the disbelief and anger of his team-mates.While Lucca smashed into the top corner, none of his team-mates joined his celebrations, with Thauvin ripping off his armband and asking to be taken off.Palmeri added: “It was clear how angry everyone was with him.“Almost instantly, there was a counter-attack chance but the Udinese players simply refused to pass the ball to him.“That was enough for the coach, who took him off when the ball went out of play. Lucca looked like a guilty kid.”Lorenzo Lucca stole a penalty from designated taker and club captain Florian Thauvin in FebruaryThe striker was booked during the incidentIt was a sliding doors moment, with the coach, Kosta Runjaic, making an example of his top scorer.Runjaic recalled: “Sometimes you need rule-breakers – but not at that moment, in that situation.“He didn’t follow the rules, so I took him off. Then, afterwards, we had a very good discussion. He told me how sorry he felt and he’s shown that since.”Lucca did exactly that, making a public apology to Thauvin and his team-mates with a social media post that read: “I wanted to be tough but, on my own, I’m nobody..”There was genuine repentance, demonstrated when, in Udinese’s next game, another spot-kick was awarded.This time, Lucca got involved in a spat with the Parma defenders who were trying to get into Thauvin’s head, forcing them away before the skipper netted and joining in a genuine team celebration.Udinese manager Kosta Runjaic forced Lucca off after he defied the captain’s ordersCredit: RexLucca maintains: “During the games there is so much adrenaline.“I was excited. In that moment I felt like going to the spot and I did it, scored and we brought home the three points.”I’m a striker. I always want to score. If I don’t score, I’m in a bad mood all week.“But before Parma, I spoke to the coach and we cleared things up. I recognised that when it came to penalties, Thauvin had priority.”Runjaic, too, is aware that he must make the most of Lucca before his inevitable departure.He said: “Any coach of any team at a high level would like to have a striker with his profile.“He is so dangerous in the box, great in the air – maybe the best header of a ball in football.“But he is equally good on the ground, too. And he keeps on improving.”Yet still with a mind on those idols of his youth.Lucca idolised Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic growing upCredit: GettyLucca admitted: “In life I would ask to take a photo with only two people, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic.“What I always loved with both of them was their charisma. I would like that to be the way I play as well.“I know what people say about me because of my size but I don’t see myself as a rare pearl.“At the same time, compared to many others, I have a particular physique and technical and aerial qualities.“I am convinced that I can do great things.“For now my priority is Udinese. But I know that if I keep working and scoring goals, opportunities will come. After all, who doesn’t aim for a big team?”READ MORE MAN UTD TRANSFER NEWSUnited need new strikers just two years after signing Rasmus Hojlund from Serie A side Atlanta in 2023 More

      Why Bruno Fernandes can fire in the Manchester derby plus a lively Grand National outsider – Weekend Wager’s best bets

      by

      SUNSPORT’S Weekend Wager is back for what’s set to be yet another incredible weekend of sport.Joining top broadcaster Kweku Afari is our very own deputy head of sport Dean Scoggins and Betfair betting expert Sam Rosbottom.Manchester United or set to take on rivals City this weekendCredit: ReutersWith the Premier League back in full swing following a full slate of mid-week fixtures, the amazing action keeps coming over the next couple of days.Headlining the weekend’s footie action is the Manchester derby on Sunday afternoon.Saturday, meanwhile, is a special day on the calendars of all racing fans – with the Grand National set to take place at Aintree.Our trio of experts take you through their tips for the weekend’s action.READ MORE IN SPORTAston Villa vs Nottingham ForestDean Scoggins – Matz Sels three or more saves – 6/5If I was picking a game to go to this weekend as a neutral, it would be Villa-Forest.Villa have stacks of shots at home. Now, here’s a stat for you, they’ve had 225 shots in 15 Premier League games, averaging 15 a game at Villa Park.”But Nottingham Forest’s goalkeeper is probably the goalkeeper of the season so far.Most read in Football”So I’m going Matz Sels for three or more saves. Also, if by any chance, Sels doesn’t play, it is actually the goalkeeper, whoever’s in goal for Forest.But Matz Sels, three or more saves at 6-5, with Rashford flying, Asensio flying. Villa are great to watch. Don’t forget Ollie Watkins, Morgan Rogers. Yeah, I’m quite confident with this one.Matz Sels has been in flying form for Nottingham ForestCredit: RexKweku Afari – Villa to win and BTTS – 13/5I’ve gone Aston Villa to win, and both teams to score, 13-5.It’s been documented how good Villa have been under Unai Emery this season.Maybe the league form has been up and down, but since losing to Arsenal in their first home league game this season, Villa are unbeaten at home in 14 games, which is a pretty formidable record. It’s not an easy ground to go to.And Forest’s away goals per game ratio, which is 1.73, is their third best in a top flight season. So I do expect there to be goals in this one, but I expect Villa to just inch it.Aston Villa have been flying in front of goalCredit: GettySam Rosbottom – Anthony Elanga one or more shots on target – 5-4Anthony Elanga, he did the business for Forest against his old club last time out.I’m sticking with him in this one, but I’m siding with him to have just one or more shots on target at five to four.I think that price is pretty generous when you look at the stats.He’s had four shots in his last three matches, all of which were on target and I think he’s going to do the same again on Saturday.Anthony Elanga is likely to have his shooting boots onCredit: GettyManchester United vs Manchester CityDean Scoggins – City to win and over 1.5 goals – 7/5I like City in this as well. I mean, Man Utd, it was a smash and grab at the Etihad before Christmas with the Amad Diallo goal, they nicked it.If we look at the stats here, Man City have won more Premier League away games against Man Utd than any other side.Man Utd have shipped 17 in nine under Ruben Amorim. So it looks tricky for United to me. They’re getting better, but they’re not quite playing as well as we’d like.I’m going for goals again this weekend. I think that City will score and they’ll win. So I’m going for City to win and over 1.5 goals at 7-5.And look, if City score early, that means United have got to come out a bit, maybe City score again.So for me, 7-5 looks like a good price.Jack Grealish grabbed his first Prem goal of the season in mid-weekCredit: GettyKweku Afari – Man Utd to win – 2/1I’ve gone a little bit left field with this one because I do understand that City are the favourites going into it, but I’ve gone straightforward. Manchester United win at 2/1.If you look at the stats, Man City have lost six of their last 11 away Premier League matches.That’s as many as they lost in their previous 37 away matches combined, which tells you that they’ve not being on form this season, especially away from home.And Ruben Amorim, he’s just got that stardust, that magic dust against Man City. He beat them, of course, as the Sporting Lisbon manager in the Champions League, winning 4-1.And as mentioned previously, he won with Manchester United at the Etihad 2-1 earlier this season.Man Utd stunned City at the Etihad in DecemberCredit: ReutersSam Rosbottom – Bruno Fernandes to score/assist – 6/4Manchester City are very vulnerable at the back as well, which is why I might surprise you now with this one.Although I’m not going to say United are going to win. I do think they are going to score. And I do think Bruno Fernandes is going to be absolutely key.He’s their main man, isn’t he? And for him to score or assist in this game, 6/4 which I think is decent value, especially if you want to include him in a bet builder, I think it’s a really nice selection to do so.In all competitions, Fernandes has been involved in 19 goals in his last 18 matches at Old Trafford. He’s got 12 goals, seven assists.So getting both either to score or assist on side at 6/4 I think is pretty nice.Also, when we look at his record in the Manchester derby, his last two, he’s either scored or assisted.So, yeah, two goal involvements in his last two games. And I can see him making that three on the bounce this weekend.Bruno Fernandes is likely to be at the centre of the actionCredit: GettyThe Grand NationalDean Scoggins – Intense Raffles – 10/11I was lucky enough to be in the company of some jockeys and some guests at the Randox Grand National last week.And the horse they couldn’t stop talking about was Intense Raffles.Now, they like it because the ground’s going to be a bit firmer. The weather’s been good.It’s a great jumper. And it was the favourite a couple of weeks ago in the early betting, but it’s gone out slightly.At 10/1, it’s still one of the favourites. But yeah, Intense Raffles is where my money’s going.Kweku Afari – I Am Maximus – 10/11My pick is also a 10/1. I Am Maximus, won this race last year, won the Irish Grand National two years ago.I just like the look of him. I like the name as well. So I’m going for I Am Maximus.Sam Rosbottom – Stumptown – 8/1I’m looking at the top of the market.A horse that I really fancy is Stumptown at 8/1. He won very well at the Cheltenham Festival in the Cross Country race.Read More on The SunNow we’ve seen in the past, that is a brilliant, brilliant preparation run for the Grand National.Tiger Roll, the big example, won at the Cross Country, then goes and wins the Grand National.It’s set to be a brilliant weekend of action at AintreeCredit: AFP More
