      However, the Italian international has struggled in the Premier League and has scored just seven times in 26 outings.
      Despite his struggles, La Gazzetta Dello Sport claim that Inter Milan are targeting a move for Scamacca.
      The Serie A side are looking to replace veteran frontman Edin Dzeko, 36, at the end of the season.
      The publication claims that talks between the former Manchester City ace and Inter over an extension have stalled.

      He wants a two-year deal once his current one expires in June but Inter are only willing to offer him one-year.
      And if no agreement can be reached then they already allegedly have a target identified in West Ham’s Scamacca.
      Only three of his goals have come in the top-flight for David Moyes’ struggling side and that has led to him losing his place.
      He made his first appearance since January when coming off the bench in last night’s 2-0 Conference League last-16 first-leg win over AEK Larnaca.

      Michail Antonio, who scored both goals, is currently ahead of him in the pecking order.
      While January recruit Danny Ings appears to be first-choice for Moyes as he looks to guide the Hammers to safety.
      And the East London outfit will be desperate for their frontman to produce the goods on Sunday when they host Aston Villa. More

      But there has long been question marks over his distribution from the back.
      They were raised again on Tuesday when he gave the ball away almost leading to a second Real Betis goal.
      Speaking after the game Ten Hag said: “From today I can’t ignore it, but I think we have seen many games he did really well.
      “We work on that but David is working on that.

      “But I think we have seen in this season that he is improving and he will keep improving, I’m sure.
      “I don’t know what the reason today was. There was a lot of wind, a different ball, probably he had some problems with that, but I know we can deal with it and he will do better Sunday.”
      De Gea is still to agree on a new contract with his current United deal running out at the end of the season.
      He is the club’s top earner on £375,000 a week but will have to take a cut to £200,000 a week if he wants to extend his stay.

      Meanwhile, injury-plagued Anthony Martial, currently out with a hip problem, has returned to training but will not be ready for Sunday’s home game against Southampton.
      Ten Hag said: “He is on his way back, he’s back in training but we will be cautious.”
      The United boss also remains positive about Christian Eriksen returning to action before the end of the season.
      He has been out of action since suffering an ankle injury in the FA Cup win over Reading at the end of January after a hefty challenge from Andy Carroll.
      Ten Hag said: “I think his progress in the rehab is OK, is going according to plan, so we will definitely see him but not before the international break.” More

      “There is no way he would be able to play regularly for Celtic in the way they play. He will have a better chance of playing if he moves to Rangers.

      “But it’s a big decision for him to leave Man Utd. But he has to do it because right now he is also playing jeopardy with his spot in the national team.
      “He can be a sub for Man Utd but if he’s got anything about himself he wants to play as many games as possible.
      “Right now his career isn’t something to write about and he needs to show that he is hungry enough to get a decent career.

      Their recent disappointments mean another season without silverware is guaranteed for England captain Kane – who has never won a major trophy.
      And with his contract up at the end of the 2023/24 season, a departure from his boyhood club seems more likely than ever.
      United have also been linked with Napoli sensation Victor Osimhen.
      But, according to Manchester Evening News, Ten Hag has prioritised Kane to reinvent his attacking line-up this summer.

      Man Utd, who look set to qualify for the Champions League, are hoping to beat Bayern Munich to Spurs’ record scorer, with the Bundesliga champions also interested in signing him.
      Kane has scored 268 times in 428 appearances for Tottenham, including 20 already this season.
      He attempted to leave the club in 2021 but Spurs chief Daniel Levy blocked him from joining Manchester City.
      Now, though, the forward has more bargaining power given he is preparing to enter the final 12 months of his contract.

      United have been linked with pursuing a number of other forwards at the end of the season.
      They include Osimhen, who has netted 21 goals in 26 games this term.
      Benfica’s Goncalo Ramos and Ajax’s Mohammed Kudus are other potential acquisitions.
      In order to bring in a new attacker, Ten Hag is expected to sell Anthony Martial.
      The Frenchman, 27, has contributed just 14 goals in his last three seasons and remains incredibly injury-prone.

      And it now seems to be a matter of time before he is replaced in North London.
      SunSport exclusively revealed on Thursday that Spurs face a battle to persuade Thomas Tuchel to take the job.
      Ex-Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, 51, is another name that has been heavily linked with the role.
      Spurs fans could be heard singing the Argentine’s name as they made their way out of the ground following their European exit earlier this week.

      But, according to The Times, there are concerns among club chiefs about rehiring Pochettino – who was sacked in 2019 after a five-year stint.
      And Spanish coach Enrique, 52, is now being mooted as an alternative option.
      The former Barcelona and Spain national team boss is understood to be “keen” on assuming the position.
      It comes three months after he was sacked by his country’s FA following a last-16 exit at the World Cup at the hands of Morocco.

      Enrique won nine trophies during his three seasons with Barcelona including two LaLiga titles, three Copa del Reys and the Champions League.
      He boasts the highest win percentage of any Barca head coach since 2000 at 76.2 per cent.
      Meanwhile, Spurs are still seeking a first piece of silverware since 2008.
      Exits from the FA Cup and Champions League mean they will be made to wait until at least 2024 to lift a trophy.
      It remains to be seen when Conte will depart the club, with his contract up at the end of the season.
      Tottenham’s performance and result at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday is set to determine how long he will stay at the helm.

      by

      FORMER Juventus centre-back Giorgio Chiellini has lifted the lid on his failed move to Arsenal in 2001 and says he was a “fool” to reject the club.The ex-Italy international claims the Gunners offered him a huge salary when he was just 16, but felt it would be a betrayal to leave Livorno.

      Arsene Wenger was keen to bring the defender to North London, but Chiellini has revealed he was too loyal to Livorno, a decision he now regrets.
      The nine-time Serie A champion has stated that he was offered a whopping 200million Italian Lira-a-year by Arsenal, which was roughly around £66,000-per-year.
      Speaking to So Foot via Goal in February 2021 about his failed move, the 38-year-old said: “In hindsight, I was a fool to decline that offer.
      “I was 16, I played in Serie C, I got a huge offer for just under 200 million lira-a-season.

      “I didn’t feel ready. If I had accepted, it would have given the impression of betraying Livorno.”
      Chiellini would leave the following year for Roma, before linking up with Juventus 15 years ago.
      He received 117 caps for Italy before retiring from international football earlier this year.
      The centre-back then also bidded farewell to Juve in 2022, as he joined Los Angeles FC.
