by Philippa Kaur 4 July 2022, 15:24

Brentford, QPR and Wolves will introduce it soon, with Wembley Stadium also planning to offer it for domestic matches later in the campaign.
Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries said: “We are not reintroducing terraces and only clubs which meet strict safety criteria will be permitted.
“Thanks to a robust trial, thorough evidence and modern engineering, we are now ready to allow standing once again in our grounds.”
Participating clubs will need enhanced use of CCTV, improved steward training and fans being strictly limited to “one person, one space”.

They are also required to engage with fans as part of their application process.
A report on last season’s trial concluded: “The installation of barriers or rails in areas of persistent standing in seated areas has delivered a positive impact on spectator safety and improved fans’ matchday experience in both home and away sections.”
It recommended clubs should be given the chance to implement licensed standing areas “as soon as possible”.
Designated standing areas had not been seen at top-flight grounds since the adoption of all-seater stadia in the early 1990s.

Many supporters have continued to stand in seated areas since, particularly behind goals, despite regular local authority and police warnings that it is dangerous.
Sports minister Nigel Huddleston added: “Fans have long campaigned for its introduction and we have worked carefully with supporters groups, including the families affected by the tragic Hillsborough football disaster.” More

“Would I be excited as a United fan? I’d be a bit underwhelmed by it.”
Eriksen impressed after going to Brentford on loan in January, which has now sparked interest from a number of clubs this summer.
SunSport understands the playmaker has now made the decision to join the Red Devils.
Eriksen is said to have informed United of his desire to join the club, with the midfielder now set for a medical.
He is set to pen a three-year deal at Old Trafford.
Murphy admitted he was keen on Eriksen’s game but insisted he won’t push Fernandes out the team.
He added: “I really like Eriksen, I’ve always admired him in terms of his creativity and the way he plays his football.
“He tries things, he’s good at set-plays, two good feet but would it excite me if I was a United fan?
“He’s going to be a squad player, isn’t he?
“He’s not going to play instead of Bruno Fernandes.” More

Chelsea are believed to be at the front of the queue to sign him and are now considering a bid, report The Athletic.
Owner Todd Boehly first made contact with Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes last month but talks have reportedly continued since.
And according to the Independent Ronaldo is willing to accept a sizeable wage cut to push for a move as he is desperate to continue playing Champions League football.

The Chelsea boss is believed to be a fan of Ronaldo but first would like the opportunity to talk to the striker and discuss how he will fit into his system.
United are thought to be unwilling to let Ronaldo leave but the Blues will continue to monitor his situation in case that stance changes.
Napoli have also emerged as a potential destination for the Portuguese after he informed United of his wish to leave.
Roma, Bayern Munich and former club Sporting Lisbon are reportedly interested too but Chelsea appear to be the frontrunners.

England midfielder Bellingham remains under contract with the Bundesliga club until 2025.
And that means that Dortmund are under no pressure to sell the teen star.

Now Mundo Deportivo are claiming that five powerhouse clubs are circling to swoop for the starlet.

Now the Evening Standard has claimed that the star duo have been offered to Chelsea after intermediaries allegedly approached new Blues co-owner Todd Boehly to try to coax him into a sensational transfer swoop.
They state that Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, “has already met Boehly” to discuss the prospect of the icon joining as well as possible “as well as offering his services to move other players” to Chelsea.
Neymar’s representatives are also believed to have been in touch with the West London outfit’s chief too – although the South American’s £606,000-a-week wages could prove to be a major stumbling block.
Whether or not boss Thomas Tuchel would be keen to bring in the big-name pair remains to be seen as he pushes ahead with his other transfer business.

His confidence is growing that Raheem Sterling will seal a £45m move from Manchester City prior to his squad flying out to America on Saturday for a pre-season tour.
He looks like he has lost out on bringing Leeds United’s Raphinha to the Bridge after the Brazilian told Barcelona that he is willing to wait for them to make their move.
New Chelsea owners Boehly and Clearlake Capital have allegedly promised Tuchel at least six new signings before the season kicks-off next month. More

Malacia, 22, arrived at Carrington to complete his medical ahead of a £13million move away from Feyenoord.
Ten Hag was reportedly interested in signing Malacia at Ajax but opted against it due to the two clubs’ rivalry.
Free agent Eriksen has also agreed to a move to Old Trafford this summer.
The Dane played for Ajax between 2009 and 2013.

Eriksen trained with Ajax last season when he was regaining his fitness following his collapse at Euro 2020.
Another summer signing could be Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
United have agreed a £56.2million fee with Barca, with Ten Hag convincing De Jong to make the move.
Ten Hag worked with De Jong at Ajax before his big money switch to Barca in 2019.

A further list of linked transfer targets include Lisandro Martinez, Jurrien Timber and Antony.
All worked with the new United boss at Ajax last season, helping the club lift a 36th Eredivisie title.
And with Ten Hag targeting familiar faces, United’s scouting department has come under fire, being branded “lazy”.
In terms of transfers, United are now operating how they used to under legendary boss Sir Alex Ferguson following the departures of senior scouts and Ed Woodward.
The Scot and executives would go through a “wish list”.
One fan fumed: “Honestly I have followed this transfer saga of Frenkie de jong and I sincerely believe that the people in charge of the scouting at Man Utd are very lazy people.
“There are many other players who can play in his position especially when it’s clear he doesn’t want to leave [Barca].”
Another said: “Pau Torres is a good fit.
“But Man Utd don’t have a good scouting team, they only follow what Ten Hag says. Don’t expect much changes in coming years.”

‘Not world class’

“But when you’re looking at the big games when United are competing against Liverpool, [Manchester] City and Chelsea, is he going to play in that first XI? No, is the answer.
“He could change a game, yes, that’s fair. He could come off the bench and change a game but is he going to bring United closer to Liverpool and City? Nowhere near it.
“This is Man Utd. Is he better than [Bruno] Fernandes? No. Is he going to be playing in the first XI? No.
“Is he a welcome addition and good squad player? Yes. Should I be happy as a United fan? No. Would I be excited as a United fan? I’d be a bit underwhelmed by it”

Good morning Man Utd fans
Manchester United wantaway star Cristiano Ronaldo has been ordered by the club he must report back for pre-season this week.
Ronaldo has informed United of his desire to depart this summer after citing his wish to play Champions League football.
But according to the Mirror, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has been told by the Red Devils he must report back to Carrington imminently.
The report states that the star forward has been alerted that he has to be on the plane on Friday for their two-and-a-half-week pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.
United have declined to comment about Ronaldo’s reported wish to leave the club.
According to the Daily Mirror, the Manchester giants have refused to answer questions regarding the Portugal captain’s future.
But United want to recoup the money they spent to sign the 37-year-old if they are to let him leave this summer, report The Times.
The Red Devils paid Juventus £12.9million to bring Ronaldo back to Old Trafford, with add-ons potentially taking the deal to £17m.
Napoli have entered the race to sign the him and could be willing to match United’s asking price.
Bayern Munich could also view the Portugal international as a cheap replacement for Robert Lewandowski if the Pole is sold to Barcelona.
Finally, United have made a breakthrough in the transfer market with Feyenoord star Tyrell Malacia set to become their first signing of the summer today.
Malacia jetted into Manchester yesterday and went through the first stages of his medical.
And should it all go to plan the left-back will put the finishing touches to his move – which will cost the Red Devils an initial £13m.
The Manchester giants swooped for the Netherlands international last week just when he looked destined to link up with Lyon
Do no Ron
Manchester United wantaway star Cristiano Ronaldo should stay put at Old Trafford, claims former Red Devils ace Louis Saha.
Saha told BonusCodeBets: “It could go both ways, no one can guarantee anything apart from Cristiano. He’s the only one to answer that.
“It wouldn’t be the right move for Man United to let him go because he’s such a big asset.
“I can definitely see him continuing to keep doing what he’s doing best, which is scoring goals and helping his club get back to where it belongs.
“He can still play a part under [Erik] Ten Hag, not only by scoring goals, but with his stature.
“I’m sure the new manager will want to implement some new rules and new standards that fit with Ronaldo. Maybe not so much on the pressing side, but his work ethic and his desire to always be accountable.
“Performance-wise, Ronaldo is up there with the best, he’ll drive the players that need confidence, like [Marcus] Rashford.
“It’s a new manager, new rules, new atmosphere and I’m very excited”
In safe hands
Manchester United star David de Gea is confident that fans will “love” the style of play that new boss Erik ten Hag is implementing at the club.
De Gea claims the improvements have made the United players “excited” about the future of the club.
The Spaniard told MUTV: “I think we are all very excited for the new season, for the new manager.
“He plays a very good [type of] football so for sure the fans will love it”

Tottenham close in on Lenglet
Tottenham are reportedly on the verge of clinching a loan deal for Barcelona star Clement Lenglet.
And Di Marzio claims Lenglet has been chosen by the Spurs boss for a north London summer switch.
Marseille were thought to be leading the race for Lenglet, who’s been capped 15 times by France.
But Italian tactician Conte has stormed in late on.
And Lenglet is now set to ply his trade in the Premier League as Spurs’ new left-sided centre-half.
Fulham face Manor Solomon loss
Fulham are facing the prospect of losing out on forward Manor Solomon with French club Nice attempting to hijack the deal.
The Israel international has been a long term target for boss Marco Silva and is close to joining the Cottagers from Ukrainian side Shakthar Donetsk.
Silva’s side have all but agreed a deal worth around £7million for the 22-year-old but have not yet fully completed.
Sources close to the player believe that all aspects are ready to go on the deal and that they are just awaiting the final seal from Fulham.
As the newly promoted side delay, however, Nice are trying to muscle in.
The Ligue 1 side, owned by British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, have offered a bigger fee to Shakthar and a larger wage to Solomon than that on offer from West London.
Solomon, however, would still prefer a switch to the Premier League but is beginning to consider other options should Fulham continue to delay.
Pickford set for new contract
Everton are are reportedly in talks with Jordan Pickford over a new long-term deal.
The Mail claims Pickford is now set to be rewarded with a lucrative fresh contract.
The England No1, 28, hast two years left to run on his current deal.
Frank Lampard is a huge fan of Pickford, who cost £30million from Sunderland in 2017.
And he wants the stopper to commit his golden years at Goodison Park ahead of a summer rebuild.
Ronaldo to Sporting Lisbon?
Sporting Lisbon director of football Hugo Viana has refused to rule out Cristiano Ronaldo returning to the club.
He told Sky Sports on a possible summer move: “Not now, I don’t think that will be possible.
“But we never know. He can decide where he can go. But you never know the future.
“I don’t want to talk a lot about that because when we speak about Cristiano it is quite different.
“I think he has one more year on his contract, so whatever he decides, let’s see.”
Brentford eye ex-United flop
Brentford are plotting a swoop for ex-Manchester United flop Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.
The goalkeeper moved to Old Trafford back in 2014 from Serbian club Vojvodina.
He then suffered work permit issues that prevented him from making an appearance for the club.
And that led to his departure from United just a year later having failed to make any impact.
Now TuttoSport claims that Brentford are lining up a bid to give the now Torino stopper a second shot at the Premier League.
Chelsea face Raphinha coup
Chelsea are fighting Barcelona’s 11th-hour attempt to sign Raphinha.
Blues owner Todd Boehly looked like he had bagged the Brazil winger after agreeing a £55million deal with Leeds.
But having seen off interest from rivals Arsenal, Boehly now faces the threat of losing out to Barcelona.
Raphinha’s agent Deco, who played for both Barca and Chelsea, was spotted at the Spanish giants’ offices on Wednesday in a last-ditch attempt to engineer a move.
Richarlison to Tottenham confirmed
Richarlison is set to undergo a medical at Tottenham TODAY after agreeing to move from Everton, according to reports.
Spurs are still haggling with the Toffees over the final details of the deal, although a fee of around £50million and £10m in add-ons has been agreed in principle.
Richarlison, 25, has settled on personal terms with Tottenham and is eager to make the move.
According to The Athletic, the Brazilian’s Spurs medical will take place today with a transfer imminent.
The forward is eager to test himself at the highest level, and will be able to play Champions League football for the first time with Spurs.
Rangers face transfer battle
Four Euro clubs are keen to beat Rangers to sign Antonio Colak.
SunSport understands the PAOK striker is a target for Copenhagen, Panathinaikos, Real Mallorca and his former club Malmo as the race for the £2.5million-rated Croatian international, 28, hots up.
But it’s understood the Light Blues remain favourites with the frontman clear Ibrox is his favoured destination if a deal can be agreed with the Greeks.
We revealed Gers had made an improved £2m offer plus bonuses in a bid to prise Colak away from PAOK’s Dutch pre-season camp.
But that too has been rejected with PAOK chiefs adamant about the deal matching what they paid Rijeka two years ago.
Chelsea get De Ligt boost
Chelsea have received a major boost in their pursuit of Matthijs de Ligt after Juventus’ CEO hinted that the star wants to leave.
uventus chief Maurizio Arrivabene has appeared to have bolstered their hopes of landing De Ligt – saying they will be happy to do business as long as their asking price is met.
He said: “It’s impossible to keep players when they want to leave the club – but all the three parties in the negotiations have to be satisfied.”
Good Morning football fans.
Man Utd are looking to hijack Arsenal’s bid to land Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.
The Gunners have put in a third offer for the Argentine centre-back – after being told their previous bid of £34million was not enough.
But United have now registered their interest to the Dutch giants and asked to be kept informed of developments.
Erik ten Hag was planning to switch his attention to his forward line now deals for Frenkie de Jong and Tyrrell Malacia have been set up.
However the Red Devils were concerned that the 24-year-old Martinez would be heading for North London unless they made their interest known quickly.
Martinez has set his heart on a move to the Premier League – although the Dutch giants will demand around £43m to think about letting him leave.
Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku is back in Italy ahead of his return to Inter Milan and has proudly posed with a club scarf.
The 29-year-old will link up with the San Siro outfit for a second time just a year after he re-joined Chelsea in a club-record £97.5million deal.
But he failed to hit the heights expected of him at Stamford Bridge, with Thomas Tuchel deeming him surplus to requirements.
And Inter have been quick to secure his services with the Serie A giants agreeing a £6.9m season-long loan deal with the Blues.
More on Martinez
Arsenal’s opening bid of £26m was rejected – as was their second which was £8m higher.
Their latest offer is a similar downpayment but with more add-ons – so that may not be enough to tempt Ajax to do business.
They are now likely to wait to see if a firm offer comes in for Lisandro Martinez from United.
He had previously indicated he was happy to join Arsenal but the prospect of re-uniting with his former boss Ten Hag at Old Trafford may change his mind.
It would be a blow for Mikel Arteta who has also seen Chelsea move in for another of his key targets, Raphinha, in recent days.
Spanish giants Barcelona are also in the race for the Brazilian who is rated at around £60m by his current club Leeds.
Meanwhile United are happy with the way their move for Malacia is progressing – despite a late bid from Lyon to turn his head back towards them.
He is expected to move to the North West and provide competition for Luke Shaw next season.

Martinez has set his heart on a move to the Premier League – although the Dutch giants will demand around £43m to think about letting him leave.
Everton in talks for Winks
Everton are likely to sign Harry Winks regardless of where Richarlison‘s future lies, according to Givemesport.
The Brazilian international is being strongly linked with a move to Tottenham, with a potential swap deal involving Winks under consideration, but Jones is confident the midfielder will end up linking up with ex-teammate Dele Alli, no matter what happens with Richarlison.
According to Sky Sports’ Michael Bridge, Spurs and Everton are in talks over Winks, although the north Londoners are pushing for a permanent transfer, while the Toffees are seeking a loan deal with an option to buy.
Winks has already been told to find a new club by Tottenham and has been valued at around £20m.
Meanwhile, the same outlet state that Spurs are interested in Richarlison and Anthony Gordon, as Conte hopes to provide squad depth ahead of the club’s return to the Champions League next term.
Koul runnings
Kalidou Koulibaly has reportedly emerged as a potential target for Chelsea.
It has been claimed that the Senegal international has been added to Thomas Tuchel’s shortlist in his quest to bolster his backline.
The Blues boss is desperate for reinforcements in defence after Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen departed as free agents.
Chelsea have been linked with a host of players, with the club reportedly having a £34million offer plus either Timo Werner or Christian Pulisic for Matthijs de Ligt rejected by Juventus.
They are also understood to be keen on bringing Manchester City’s Nathan Ake back to Stamford Bridge.
Meanwhile Sevilla star Jules Kounde remains of interest, however they face competition from Barcelona in the race to secure the Frenchman’s services.
Tuchy subject
Romelu Lukaku did not enjoy a successful return to Chelsea and part of the reason for his failure was his strained relationship with Thomas Tuchel.
Lukaku, 29, first got on the wrong side of the German by publicly expressing his desire to return to Inter in a now infamous interview.
In the same interview Lukaku also criticised Tuchel’s style of play, suggesting it restricted him to too few chances in front of goal.
But Tuchel also irritated Lukaku with a jibe that poked fun at the striker’s relationship with his former manager Antonio Conte.
According to Goal’s Nizaar Kinsella, Lukaku was left unhappy with Tuchel’s wind-up.
Kinsella revealed: “To see him talk so highly of Inter [during the Sky Italia interview] was an insult to Chelsea fans. It broke the relationship with them.
“And there was another incident behind the scenes that wasn’t televised or anything like that.
“Someone told me that Lukaku and Tuchel were watching a Tottenham game and Tuchel said, ‘There’s your daddy’, about Antonio Conte.
“It was just a joke, but apparently, it didn’t go down very well with Lukaku.”
ICYMI
PSG star Neymar has been informed by club chiefs he is no longer wanted at Parc des Princes, reports suggest.
That is according to RMC Sport, who claim PSG are keen to rebuild without the star forward ahead of this coming season.
The Brazil international has been linked with a summer exodus from Paris this summer with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United showing interest,
United, Chelsea and Newcastle would be the only realistic transfer options for Neymar if he does leave PSG, whom he joined for a world record £200million in 2017.
The Premier League trio are the only clubs with the financial might to meet the Parisians and the striker’s financial demands.
Raph news
Raphinha’s agent was spotted at the Nou Camp less than 24 hours after Chelsea appeared to move into pole position to sign the Leeds winger.
The west Londoners dealt a hammer blow to Arsenal’s hopes of signing the Brazilian on Tuesday by tabling a bid north of £55million for his services.
A deal has yet to be reached and talks with the player’s agent – former Barcelona ace Deco – are set to take place later this week.
But Barca could be poised to land the winger after Deco was spotted at the Nou Camp with club chiefs Rafa Yuste, Mateu Alemany, Enric Masip and president Joan Laporta.
Spanish journalist Victor Navvaro captured footage of the group leaving the stadium and shared it on Twitter.
Spurs ‘set to snag genius’
Tottenham are set to snap up the set-piece genius who help fire Italy to Euro 2020 glory.
Veteran coach Gianni Vio, 69, is in talks to join Antonio Conte’s backroom staff ahead of the new season as the Italian looks to improve Spurs’ threat from set pieces.
The ex-banker-turned-deadball boffin wrote a thesis on set pieces as part of his coaching badges and claims to have more than 4,000 routines up his sleeve.
Vio helped Roberto Mancini at Euro 2020 last year and has previously worked at AC Milan, Leeds and Brentford.
Of the big six, only Manchester United scored fewer goals from set pieces than Spurs’ eight last season, meaning it is an area Conte is desperate to improve as they bid to bridge the gap to Manchester City and Liverpool.
Southampton ‘sign Man City starlet’
Southampton are on the verge of signing Man City starlet Romeo Lavia, according to reports.
The Saints were locked in battle with Leeds for the 18-year-old’s services.
But the Saint Mary’s outfit have emerged victorious in the transfer race, The Athletic reported.
City wanted to keep hold of Lavia and have the option to buy him back, the report adds.

Dutch courage
Everton are leading the race to sign Tottenham star Steven Bergwijn, according to reports.
Spurs are believed to be open to selling the Netherlands international this summer amid interest from Everton and Ajax.
Bergwijn, 24, has also admitted that he is seeking a transfer as he looks to play regular football.
And it seems Everton have the upper hand as they are willing to offer Bergwijn more money than Ajax, report De Telegraaf.
The Toffees are reportedly ready to match Tottenham’s asking price too, believed to be in the region of £21million.
But Bergwijn is said to prefer a move to Ajax due to the Dutch champions being able to offer Champions League football.
Rab race
Adrien Rabiot wants to leave Juventus to join a Premier League club this summer.
The Telegraph claim Rabiot wants to leave the Serie A heavyweights to join an English club playing Champions League football.
And Juventus have agreed to his requests and will look to offload him for between £13-17million this summer.
Betfair think Chelsea are the frontrunners at odds of 5/2.
Three other Champions League sides in Liverpool (5/1), Manchester City (8/1) and Tottenham (10/1) are next in the betting markets.
Italian publication Calciomercato claim Liverpool are hatching a plan to swap Adrien Rabiot and Naby Keita, who are both 27 with 12 months remaining on their current deals.
There’s a large jump to Europa League duo Manchester United and Arsenal, who are locked together at 20/1.
Eye of the Hag-er
Erik Ten Hag is close to making Tyrell Malacia his first signing as Manchester United boss and he has liked the defender for some time.
United are reportedly set to hijack Lyon’s move for the Feyenoord star in a £14m deal.
And Ten Hag knows a lot about the left-back from his time as Ajax manager – when he first set eyes on the youngster.
Footage has emerged from a match between Feyenoord and Ajax when Malacia certainly caught the eye.
Ten Hag is seen saying in Dutch: “That kid at left-back is amazing.”
He also tells his assistant Michael Reiziger to take note of Malacia, possibly with a view to signing him in the future.
Mad for you
Atletico Madrid are reportedly in talks with Arsenal over a transfer for Hector Bellerin.
Bellerin, 27, spent the season on loan at Real Betis and a move back to La Liga could be on the cards.
ElDesmarque report Atletico are “already negotiating” with the Gunners over the full-back, who has told the North London club of his desire to leave.
Bellerin knows “first-hand” of interest from the Madrid side and it is making him rethink his future.
He is “seduced” by the option of playing in the capital but Betis remains his preferred option after his successful 2021-22 campaign.
The Spain international impressed for his boyhood club where he helped the Seville outfit win the Copa del Rey, as well as finishing fifth.
Luk at that
Inter Milan fans turned out in force to get a glimpse of the returning Romelu Lukaku.
Lukaku arrived in Milan for a medical today after Chelsea agreed a £6.9million fee to ship the 29-year-old out on loan.
And Lukaku grinned broadly as he waved to adoring fans from the window of the Italian Olympic Committee’s headquarters in Milan.
The Chelsea flop waved and gave a thumbs up to the crowd who had defied a warning from Inter Ultras NOT to welcome Lukaku back to the club.
Scorned Curva Nord fanatics urged fans not to “run and drool” after Lukaku following his return.
Instead they claimed he will have to earn their affection back with “humility and sweat”.

Col me maybe
Southampton are considering a move for Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill as Ralph Hasenhuttl looks to continue his youth revolution.
The Saints have already snapped up two young players this summer in Gavin Bazunu – a goalkeeper from Manchester City – and 20-year-old defender Armel Bella-Kotchap, who arrived from German club Vfl Bochum.
And now Hasenhuttl wants to make another raid on Chelsea’s youth ranks.
The south coast side took three players from Cobham last summer with Tino Livramento and Dynel Simeu joining on permanent deals as well as Armando Broja spending last season on loan.
Now Colwill is in Southampton’s sights – with Premier League rivals Leicester City also tracking his progress.
The defender, 19, spent last season on loan with Championship side Huddersfield, who reached the play-off final where they lost to Nottingham Forest.
