      “There has been so much talk about it in the last couple of weeks and to do it in such a big game is even more special.
      “It is a great feeling. When I started playing regularly it wasn’t even in my imagination to score 200 Premier League goals and I have a few more years left so hopefully there are more to come.
      “[Jimmy Greaves] is a complete hero, one of the best strikers to play the game so to be in that conversation is special. And to overtake him is a huge moment for me.” More

      The French stopper is approaching the end of his career at 36 years old, so Henderson being 11 years younger would future-proof the position.
      Lloris retired from international football following France’s run to the World Cup final in Qatar.
      The Man United goalkeeper is currently out on loan at Nottingham Forest.
      He has impressed at the City Ground and had become a vital member of the Forest’s progress before he picked up a muscular injury.

      Henderson’s performances caught the eye of Spurs, who are now interested in a summer swoop, according to football.london.
      The 26-year-old would also count as a ‘Homegrown’ player for the club.
      Although, he may not arrive at the North London club immediately as first choice, he would offer more quality as backup than Spurs stoppers Fraser Forster and Alfie Whiteman.
      The goalkeeper is expected to make a permanent move away from Old Trafford at the end of the season.

      Forest are expected to rival Tottenham for his signature, as they will also be in the market for a goalkeeper this summer.
      The club did sign Keylor Navas from PSG in January but only on a short-term loan deal.
      The Red Devils are also willing to listen to offers for Alex Telles, Anthony Martial and Harry Maguire in a summer clearout, according to MEN.
      To replace Martial, Tipsbladet have said that United have been linked with a move for Atalanta’s impressive young striker Rasmus Hojlund.
      The Danish striker have been in good form for the Serie A side this season, scoring six goals in 19 league games. More

      Vladimir Putin gives Russian citizenship to two Brazilian footballers including ex-Barcelona star

      by

      VLADIMIR PUTIN has given two Brazilian football stars Russian citizenship.Ex-Barcelona winger Malcom, who interested Arsenal and Tottenham, plus midfielder Claudinho are key men for Russian top-flight leaders Zenit.
      Malcom was tipped as a future Brazil hero when he joined Barcelona in 2018 but the Zenit player has now accepted Russian citizenshipCredit: Getty

      It’s claimed both former Brazil under-23 internationals wanted their new status for tax reasons.
      But Zenit were quick to celebrate after the pair were amongst 38 foreigners granted citizenship by a special decree from Russian president Putin on Friday.
      The Saint Petersburg club stated: “Everyone at Zenit congratulates Malcom and Claudinho on becoming citizens of Russia. 
      “We wish them the best of luck and many more victories with the blue-white-sky blues!”

      Putin’s decision might be seen as a propaganda move, exactly a year after he launched his country’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
      And Dmitry Khomukha, the ex-head coach of the Russian youth team, suggested the two players were motivated only by money.
      Khomukha, who won 15 caps for Turkmenistan, is now boss of Russian third-tier club FC Kaluga.
      Just before the duo’s citizenship was granted, Sport24 quoted the 53-year-old as saying: “I have a negative attitude towards the naturalization of football players.

      “Especially in the current situation that the national team does not participate in the tournaments and the foreign transfer has nothing to do with football.
      “Here the monetary interests of the players themselves play a role. Income tax will be reduced to 15 per cent, but now they pay much more – this is the main reason.”
      Former Bordeaux hero Malcom, 25, was linked with Premier League clubs before joining Zenit from Barca in 2019.
      And Claudinho, 26, switched from Brazilian top-flight team Red Bull Bragantino to Zenit two years ago.
