      However, The Athletic have stated that with Liverpool and City both “pushing hard”, Real Madrid “are becoming resigned to the fact that the financial muscle of the Premier League is almost unbeatable”.

      Leeds ‘eye West Brom boss Carlos Corberan’ if they decide to sack under-fire Jesse Marsch as relegation fears increase

      by

      WEST BROM manager Carlos Corberan is reportedly “emerging as a potential candidate” for Leeds United should they sack Jesse Marsch.The Elland Road side’s miserable run of form continued with a 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest today.

      That left them without a win in the Premier League since November 5 and only out of the bottom three via goal difference.
      Marsch has admitted that he understands the frustrations of supporters as the pressure mounts ahead of a double header with in-form Manchester United this week.
      Now the Daily Mail are claiming Leeds “owner Andrea Radrizzani and Paraag Marathe will be the men that have the key say on Marsch’s future” over the coming days.
      They state that Corberan, who previously worked for the club as coach under Marcelo Bielsa, “was admired” already.

      The Spaniard, 39, then led Huddersfield to the Championship play-offs last term before a brief unsuccessful stint at Olympiacos.
      However, his reputation has strengthened even further since returning to England to take charge of West Brom.
      He has led the Baggies from the relegation zone to the play-offs and even had Everton interested last week before they opted for Sean Dyche.
      West Brom want to tie him down to a new contract but a return to Leeds could prove too tempting to resist for Corberan.

      Marsch replaced Bielsa at Leeds a year ago and helped them to secure Premier League survival.
      But despite being backed in the transfer market, this season has proven to be another struggle.
      Leeds have won just four games out of their 20 in the top-flight so far this term. More

      But a transfer failed to materialise as the Foxes clung on to their playmaker.
      Manchester United are keen on Tielemans as the ex-Monaco ace prepares to decide on his future.
      However, Team Talk claims that it is Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal that are “overwhelming favourites” to get him.

      CBS journalist Ben Jacobs has also reported that Tielemans will still be on Arteta’s shortlist once the window re-opens.
      He said: “Come the summer, if Tielemans is available on a free transfer, there’ll be a variety of clubs looking at him.
      “Arsenal will still be there for sure and we know that Tielemans very much wanted that move a year ago and was hopeful that something might come off throughout the summer, but Arsenal moved in a different direction.”
      Tielemans arrived at Leicester on loan from Monaco in January 2019 and signed permanently six months later in a £32m move.

      Simpson thinks Erik ten Hag should look at bringing in Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha.
      The 30-year-old played just four times for Man Utd during a two season spell at the club, one of which was spent on loan at Cardiff.
      Zaha was signed for a reported £10million but fell out of favour under then manager David Moyes.
      He was then sold back to Crystal Palace where he has since impressed over a number of seasons for the Eagles.

      Simpson is confident he would link up well with Marcus Rashford at Old Trafford.
      The Premier League winner with Leicester told Stadium Astro: “He [Zaha] can go wherever he likes especially on a free transfer in the summer.
      “I feel like Wilf plays better when he is the main man.
      “I would bring him back here [Man Utd].

      “If you’re looking at Marcus Rashford as the No.9 and Wilfried on the left, that is some firepower.
      “It was Sir Alex Ferguson who signed him then he left. Moyes obviously came in and it didn’t work out.
      “I do genuinely believe if Sir Alex was the manager when he played we would have seen a different Wilfried Zaha at Manchester United.”
      Simpson also suggests that Liverpool should go in for him due to their struggles this season.
      Zaha has played 20 times this season, finding the back of the net on six occasions.
      Last term, he was more prolific, scoring 15 goals in 37 games.
      Zaha has been linked with transfers to Arsenal, Chelsea, Roma and Barcelona.

      World Cup-winning midfielder Fernandez was the cherry on top on deadline day last month, joining for a British transfer record fee.
      But despite Chelsea splashing the cash, Graham Potter’s men have just one win in their last six Premier League games.
      They played out a goalless draw against West London rivals Fulham in their last outing – a game which saw £107m Fernandez make his debut.
      Liverpool legend and football pundit, Souness, is far from impressed by the Blues’ ownership.
      READ MORE ON CHELSEA
      Writing for the Daily Mail, Souness fumed: “Who on earth is advising Todd Boehly at Chelsea?
      “He might be an American investor with extremely deep pockets who fancies his chances as a Premier League high roller, but who is actually providing intelligence and assessment on the value of the players he is buying?
      “When it comes to Fernandez, Chelsea have paid a premium on top of a premium on top of a premium.
      “A premium because it is the Premier League calling.

      “A premium because it is Chelsea. A premium because they want this player now.
      “Boehly is the latest super-rich businessman learning about our football the hard way and having his trousers taken down when it comes to transfer dealings, by not knowing the value of the players he is buying.”
      Ex-Arsenal star Paul Merson has also echoed the same concerns, and fears for the club should they miss out on Champions League football.
      Chelsea are sat 9th in the Prem and 10 points behind fourth-place Newcastle.
      In a column for the Daily Star, Merson wrote: “I worry for the future of Chelsea when Todd Boehly is handing out eight-year contracts like there is no tomorrow.
      “Football is a funny old game and eight years is such a long time — there is going to be a domino effect at Stamford Bridge – that’s for sure.
      “It’s alright now but in five years, where are Chelsea going to be? 
      “Boehly and the new hierarchy can’t keep doing this because if they don’t get Champions League football, they’re already in trouble.” More
