Jamaica ‘draw up TEN-MAN shortlist of English stars they hope to tempt into switching allegiance for 2026 World Cup’
by Philippa Kaur 25 May 2022, 16:55
JAMAICA have drawn up a list of English-based players they are trying to recruit for the World Cup in the 2026. The Reggae Boyz did not make it to Qatar 2022, meaning their only appearance at a finals was in France 1998 when they were knocked out in the group stage.

But the chance of them featuring at a second World Cup has increased due to Canada, USA and Mexico hosting the tournament, leaving the CONCACAF qualification section wide open.
Jamaica’s shortlist of targets reportedly includes Premier League stars Demarai Gray, Rico Henry, Max Aarons, Morgan Gibbs-White and Nathan Ferguson according to the Mirror.
They’re also supposedly interested in Joel Latibeaudiere of Swansea, Lewis Baker of Stoke, Arsenal wonderkid Kido Taylor Hart, Chelsea teenager Luke Badley-Morgan and Fulham youngster Xavier Benjamin.
West Ham striker Michail Antonio made the switch in allegiance from England to Jamaica last summer. He has since played six times, scoring three goals.

Yet if the Brazilian wants to remain on his current salary, only Newcastle will be able to afford him.

Salah and Mane tip
Former Liverpool ace David James wouldn’t be surprised if Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane left Anfield.
James told Genting Casino: “With Salah, I’d like to think Salah stays at Liverpool. He’s won the Golden Boot again and I’d want him to stay because he’s a massive contributor to Liverpool’s success.
“There comes a point in every player’s career, and with Salah and Mane, who have travelled all over the world, it’s in their DNA to move on at some point.
“When is the right time? I’d like to think he’d get a new contract at Liverpool, he’s a legend at Liverpool and a legend in football – and what better place to finish your career?
“Both Salah and Mane have been required at different stages of the season. It’s a great team, it’s not about just one individual. Everyone is chipping in.
“Again, the two of them are travellers in a footballing sense, therefore it wouldn’t be surprising to see them leave, but I’d like to think they’d want to stay and see their careers out at Liverpool”

Mane contract on hold
Sadio Mane has refused to be drawn on his future.
The Senegal international has one year left on his contract at Anfield and talks over a new deal has yet to bear fruit.
Mane has refused to pledge his long-term future to the club, telling Sky Sports: “I will answer this question after the Champions League.”
The former Southampton ace will hold talks with the Liverpool brass before deciding his next move.
The 30-year-old said: “There will be new discussions at the end of the season. I’ll answer after [the] Champions League final.”
Longstaff signs new Toon contract
Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff has signed a new three-year deal.
Lingard of honour
Marcus Rashford was spotted leaving a swanky restaurant in Los Angeles with Jesse Lingard on Wednesday.
The pair may have been tucking into a farewell meal for Lingard who is set to leave United on a free transfer this summer.
Lingard’s contract at Old Trafford is set to expire in the summer and the winger has no intention of penning a new deal with the Red Devils.
The winger could remain in the Premier League with West Ham keen on giving him a new home following his successful loan spell in East London during the second half of the 2020/21 season.
Salah to STAY
Mohamed Salah has confirmed he won’t leave Liverpool in the summer, wires Chisanga Malata.
Kop favourite Salah has eased the club’s fears of a summer departure by insisting: “I’m staying next season for sure.”
Although right now, exacting revenge on Carlo Ancelotti’s troops – whom they lost to in the 2018 final – is Salah’s sole focus.
He added: “I don’t focus on the contract at the moment. It’s about the team.
“It’s a really important week for us. I want to win the CL again.
“I want to see Hendo [Jordan Henderson] with that trophy in his hands again.”
Frenkie moving Jong
Barcelona have confirmed they have received multiple bids for Frenkie de Jong, with Manchester United believed to be among them.
Barca president Joan Laporta told L’Esportiu: “Frenkie de Jong? Yes, we have received proposals.
“But he has great quality, we think he should continue at Barca.
“Selling players? Right now, everything is open. In this case will depend a lot on the issue of [financial] fair play.”
Paris Saint-Germain are also supposedly in for De Jong after Manchester City distanced themselves
Youri Tielemans boost
Arsenal received a transfer boost in their bid to sign Leicester star Youri Tielemans.
According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Tielemans is “keen” on a move to the Gunners.
The talented midfielder has stood out at the King Power Stadium this season and has been linked with a move away.
Manchester United and Real Madrid are also said to be keeping tabs on the Belgium international
Erling Haaland effect
Liverpool legend John Barnes believes Erling Haaland may affect Manchester City’s game.
Barnes told William Hill: “With Haaland coming to City, will they have to play differently? If Haaland scores goals, other players will score less goals. At Liverpool you’ve got [Sadio] Mane scoring goals, [Mohamed] Salah scoring goals, but if you’ve got the midfield scoring goals they score 500 goals – it doesn’t work that way. If the midfield players at Liverpool scored goals, Mane and Salah would score less goals.
“When Haaland plays, he may score a lot of goals, but the others won’t score goals. It doesn’t mean that all of a sudden that because he plays, City are going to add on the goals they score and he’s going to score another 50. It doesn’t work that way.
“Secondly, the way they play may be different and the way they play now is such a comprehensive way of playing against teams. With Haaland they’ll play differently. I love Haaland, he’s a great player, he’ll give them that strength in the box, but in terms of their build-up play, their hold-up play and everything else, maybe they’ll lose something”
Go for it
Former Chelsea ace Glen Johnson advised his former club to try and beat Barcelona for Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski.
Johnson told Betting Odds: “In terms of the player himself, then yes. But business-wise, what that might do to [Romelu] Lukaku, if he’s not playing where’s he going to go, how much is he going to be worth.
“They bought him for an awful lot of money. But at the same time, if they give him another six months and he doesn’t perform, then they might miss out on the top four. It’s a tough one.
“While Lewandowski is available on the free, I think you have to try and sign him.”

What’s next for Chelsea?
The Premier League and UK government have agreed to Chelsea’s £4.25billion takeover by Todd Boehly’s consortium.
However, since outgoing owner Roman Abramovich also has a Portuguese passport the Portuguese government needs assurances and the same goes for the European Union.
The aforementioned need to be convinced that Abramovich will not benefit in any way out of the sale of the club following Russia’s unjust invasion of Ukraine and his alleged ties with president Vladimir Putin.
Therefore, the takeover is not yet completed and the Blues are thus still not allowed to sell tickets, buy players or issue new contracts.
But they’re very close to completing the procedure
Man to Man
Ex-Manchester City ace David James has advised West Ham star Declan Rice to choose a move to the Etihad instead of Manchester United.
James told Genting Casino: “The West Ham fan in me wants Declan Rice to stay there forever, we want to see scenes like Mark Noble leaving West Ham at the London Stadium.
“There’s talk about Manchester United, but the way Declan Rice plays, he could play Fernandinho’s role at Man City. If he had a choice of Man City or Man United, it’s a no-brainer, you go to Man City.
“He’s a fantastic player, he’s young, it looks like he wants to learn, he’s a regular England international, he ticks all the boxes for a team challenging for titles as opposed to one challenging for Europa League spots”
Why would he?
Former Manchester City ace David James questioned why Gabriel Jesus would choose Arsenal over the Citizens.
James told Genting Casino: “If you look at Man City players’ appearances this season, Bernardo Silva and Rodri have played 30-plus Premier League games, but all the players in that attacking line-up have played around 25 games, so they’re not playing every week.
“Pep [Guardiola’s] rotation has worked perfectly in the sense that they won the Premier League again. I’d imagine [Erling] Haaland would fit into that mold, he’s not going to play every game. Also, with his injuries, there are question marks over whether he is physically capable of playing all the games.
“That being said, Jesus will have a shared role if he stays at Manchester City. This isn’t a buy-a-player-and-use-him-all-the-time situation, so there is still room for Jesus and why would he want to leave?
“You’ve got the best team in England over the past five years, so would he risk it by moving somewhere else to Arsenal, who aren’t even in the Champions League, or would he rather stay at Man City and try to get the Holy Grail, which is the Champions League?”
Touch of class
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been praised for his “classy” moment with legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson at the League Managers Association awards.
Klopp was named the LMA Manager of the Year by his peers and awarded the Sir Alex Ferguson Trophy.
Fergie was in attendance to deliver the trophy and tried to quickly exit the stage after handing it to the German head coach.
But Klopp immediately pulled him back so they could have their photo taken together
Klopp goes viral for touching moment with Man Utd legend Sir Alex Ferguson after he receives LMA award
Liverpool’s Bowen link
Former Liverpool and West Ham ace David James questions the Reds’ link with Hammers’ ace Jarrod Bowen.
James told Genting Casino: “This season he’s been fantastic. With regards to the recruitment, Liverpool would be looking at more than just a one-season hit.
“If Bowen is a legitimate target for this summer’s transfer window then that would be questionable, but if he was to continue this kind of form, then I’m sure Liverpool will keep tabs on him.
“Like the signing of Diaz, he wasn’t the first name on people’s radar. He’s come in, proved he’s a Liverpool player and then they go and get the signing.
“With Liverpool, loads of players are going to be linked and I’d imagine most of the time it’s agents linking them rather than a club pursuing them, but Bowen will definitely be on Liverpool’s radar”
Salah and Mane tip
Former Liverpool ace David James wouldn’t be surprised if Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane left Anfield.
James told Genting Casino: “With Salah, I’d like to think Salah stays at Liverpool [and ignores Real Madrid’s interest]. He’s won the Golden Boot again and I’d want him to stay because he’s a massive contributor to Liverpool’s success.
“There comes a point in every player’s career, and with Salah and Mane, who have travelled all over the world, it’s in their DNA to move on at some point. When is the right time? I’d like to think he’d get a new contract at Liverpool, he’s a legend at Liverpool and a legend in football – and what better place to finish your career?
“Both Salah and Mane have been required at different stages of the season. It’s a great team, it’s not about just one individual. Where Liverpool were failing was when the onus was on one individual to get the team out of trouble, whereas now, you can talk about Alisson, [Virgil] Van Dijk, [Jordan] Henderson, Thiago [Alcantara], Salah and Mane – everyone is chipping in.
“Again, the two of them are travellers in a footballing sense, therefore it wouldn’t be surprising to see them leave, but I’d like to think they’d want to stay and see their careers out at Liverpool”

Haa-s to improve
Former Manchester City ace David James insists Erling Haaland needs to improve his game ahead of his Etihad arrival.
James told Genting Casino: “You could argue Haaland will improve Man City’s situation when it comes to the Champions League.
“There are bits around Haaland’s performance that need to considerably improve. He’s a fantastic goalscorer, without question, but it’s the way he scores goals that needs to be improved. It’s where he scores goals that need to be improved, he scores most of his goals at home.
“When you think about the Champions League and the crunch matches that aren’t at home, there will be areas for improvement. He’s 21 and under Pep, you could argue he’ll become better. If he becomes better then, of course, Man City will be in a better place to win the Champions League”
Adrien Rabiot race
Chelsea and Newcastle are set to offer £17million for Juventus star Adrien Rabiot ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Blues and the Magpies are eyeing a cut-price fee for Rabiot, according to Tuttosport.
N’Golo Kante and Jorginho only have one-year left on their contracts themselves, meaning midfield reinforcements may be necessary for the West Londoners.
And the Toon money-bags are looking to rival Premier League’s elite next season
Bastoni transfer war
Chelsea and Tottenham are keeping tabs on Inter Milan ace Alessandro Bastoni ahead of the summer transfer window.
That is according to La Repubblica, who claim the London rivals are interested in Bastoni, who played under Spurs manager Antonio Conte at Inter.
It is believed the Nerazurri’s financial issues are still at large and the club are hoping to sacrifice only one player this time around.
The centre-back is valued at £60m by the Italian giants
Mount’s new contract
Chelsea star Mason Mount is set to receive a new deal after Todd Boehly’s takeover.
According to i, Mount will be the first player to benefit from the Blues’ new owners.
The forward, who is reportedly on around £80,000-per-week, is expected to have his wages at least doubled under a new agreement that will be permitted once the takeover is officially completed.
This comes after the Premier League and UK government approved Boehly’s £4.25billion takeover

It’s still Ron
New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that club legend Cristiano Ronaldo is part of his plans for next season.
Ronaldo’s future has been uncertain for quite a few months and there were questions as to whether Ten Hag was planning to hold onto him in his squad.
But the Dutch tactician has put all the speculation to rest after being asked if he wants the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to stay around: “Of course!”
Ten Hag was then asked what Ronaldo brings, to which he responded “goals”.
Boehly’s war chest
New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is set to hand manager Thomas Tuchel a £200million transfer war chest this summer.
According to the Telegraph, some of the budget is expected to come from player sales, meaning Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic, Marcos Alonso and Timo Werner could all be flogged.
It’s claimed the Blues have drawn up an eight-man centre-back shortlist following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen to Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.
Sevilla star Jules Kounde is top of that list, while there is also interest in RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol, Atletico Madrid’s Jose Gimenez, Villarreal’s Pau Torres, Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly and Leicester’s James Justin.
In attack Manchester City star Raheem Sterling could be targeted if Werner, Ziyech or Pulisic are sold.
Midfield reinforcements are also possible, with West Ham’s Declan Rice and Monaco’s Aurelien Tchouameni both targeted
Jules Kounde situation
Chelsea’s approved takeover is a major transfer boost in their longtime bid to sign Sevilla star Jules Kounde.
The Blues are in dire need of defensive reinforcement after losing Antonio Rudiger to Real Madrid.
Marcos Alonso, Andreas Christensen and skipper Cesar Azpilicueta are on their way to Barcelona, while Thiago Silva is at the advanced age of 37.
Transfer expert Andreas Korssund tweeted: “Jules Kounde is closing in on a move to Chelsea.
“The Blues will conclude talks with Sevilla as soon as Boehly’s takeover is complete and they are ready to pay the required fee.
“Personal terms have already been agreed and the Frenchman is only waiting for Chelsea”
Sadio Mane breakthrough
Liverpool star Sadio Mane has “reached a breakthrough” in talks with Bayern Munich over a stunning transfer move.
According to Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg, progress has been made in negotiations between Mane and Bayern over a potential deal.
The Bavarians’ sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic and manager Julian Nagelsmann are preparing to lose Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona.
That is why they want a “statement” signing to replace Lewandowski in the summer.
Plettenberg claims that the next month is now set to be a crucial period for Bayern and their attempt to land the forward

Tchouameni to Real?
Monaco star Aurelien Tchouameni has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
That is according to RMCSport, who report that Tchouameni will join Real on a five-year contract for around £60million.
Arsenal and Manchester United appeared to be frontrunners but the midfielder, who has been compared to Paul Pogba, seems to have opted for Los Blancos.
The talented France international has gained attention thanks to a raft of impressive performances in Ligue 1
Nadine Dorries statement
Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Nadine Dorries stated that the Government is satisfied the proceeds from Chelsea’s sale won’t go to outgoing owner Roman Abramovich.
Dorries tweeted: “Last night the Government issued a licence that permits the sale of [Chelsea].
“Given the sanctions we placed on those linked to [Vladimir] Putin and the bloody invasion of Ukraine, the long-term future of the club can only be secured under a new owner.
“We are satisfied the proceeds of the sale will not benefit Roman Abramovich or other sanctioned individuals.
“I want to thank everyone, especially officials who’ve worked tirelessly to keep the club playing and enable this sale, protecting fans and the wider football community”

UK government and Premier League APPROVE Todd Boehly’s Chelsea takeover, Kounde LATEST, Dembele UPDATE – latest
by Philippa Kaur 25 May 2022, 15:55
CHELSEA’S sale to Todd Boehly WILL go through and has been given approval by the UK government and Premier League.Secretary of state for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Nadine Dorries said: “We are satisfied the proceeds of the sale will not benefit Roman Abramovich or other sanctioned individuals.”
Abramovich will no longer be associated with Chelsea as a result.
Unquestionably the best owner in the club’s history, the Russian oligarch’s ties to war-mongering Vladimir Putin have tainted his legacy.
LA Dodgers owner Boehly, 48, will take the reins and look to get the Blues’ transfer window on course after months of uncertainty.
Meanwhile, Jorginho could be heading to Juventus but the Italian giants are refusing to ‘spend big’ to land their target.
And Barcelona’s chief has given a clear indication on the future of Ousmane Dembele who is heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

Todd Boehly’s £4.25bn takeover now has Government and Premier League approval, meaning new signings aren’t too far away.
Reports suggest Boehly is eager to back Tuchel in the upcoming window and will give the German around £200m to play with.
Chelsea are even said to have drawn up an EIGHT-MAN centre-back shortlist to cope with the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
It’s expected to be a busy summer of incomings and outgoings at Stamford Bridge, and Tuchel’s line up could be very different come the start of the new season.
Mount of a task
Arsenal ace Nuno Tavares has claimed that Chelsea star Mason Mount is the toughest opponent he has faced while at the Gunners.
Speaking about his most tricky opponent on the Counter Attack YouTube channel, Tavares said: “Mason Mount of Chelsea.
“I think the positions, he knows the place he should be to make people feel uncomfortable and with the ball he has too much quality.
“He has goals, you know, so I think Mason Mount”

But money-bags Newcastle could rival the West Londoners to the signing of the France international.
Juve not so keen
Juventus aren’t planning to “spend big” for Chelsea star Jorginho ahead of the summer transfer window.
That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who reports that Juve are prioritising moves for Angel Di Maria and Paul Pogba over the 30-year-old.
The midfielder’s future at Stamford Bridge has become uncertain amid the ongoing takeover process.
The Italy international’s contract expires next year and rumours suggested he is keen on a return to the Serie A
Arms race for Broja
Chelsea loanee Armando Broja is at the centre of a transfer war between Newcastle and West Ham.
Broja impressed with a series of impressive displays at Southampton and has attracted the attention of other clubs before the summer window.
According to Goal, the Hammers and the Magpies are attempting to sign the forward during the summer.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is believed to be open to the Albania international returning to Stamford Bridge next season.

Time to go?
Former Chelsea ace Glen Johnson suggested Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso should be allowed to leave if they wish to.
Johnson told Betting Odds: “Again, I think it all comes down to what the players want.
“I’ve never been a fan of keeping players at clubs that don’t want to be there. It just doesn’t make sense.
“I’m not saying that either of those guys are saying that by the way. They’ve won everything at Chelsea and now they might want to go back home to Spain, closer to their families and let them live their life in the sun for a bit”
What’s next for Chelsea?
The Premier League and UK government have agreed to Chelsea’s £4.25billion takeover by Todd Boehly’s consortium.

Premier League’s Fab Five
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has revealed the five teams he believes will be fighting it out for the Premier League title next season – and it includes his own club but not Arsenal.
Tuchel said: “It will be a super tough race. Manchester United will be in the race, Tottenham will be in the race with Antonio Conte for sure, and we want to stay in the race.
“And Liverpool and Man City will do everything to even make their squads bigger. They set the standard so, so high and it will take the same to be competitive next season.

Tuch and go
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has taken a swipe at Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund by revealing his unique bond with the Blues’ supporters.
Tuchel said: “It’s so nice to have this bond with the fans. I was not famous for that in my last clubs. I don’t know why it’s suddenly like this, but I’m very happy about it.
“This game is a different game with fans, we always said it. It’s a different game.
“If the stadium is empty, half empty or full, we need full stadiums, this makes the game exciting, emotional.
“This creates something you can’t find without them. We are doing this for entertainment, for making our fans happy.
“We are responsible for the spark, energy, and we want to provide a level of energy that they can feel it.
“If you go to the stadium you [want to] feel this team giving everything, playing as a group of friends, not only just employees.
“That’s the challenge. Once we do this the fans are happy and they feel it. This is where we want to continue”
Last Gall for Conor?
Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira has refused to rule out a transfer for Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher.
Vieira said of Gallagher, who is set to return to Stamford Bridge after the end of the season: “Conor has been fantastic for us.
“He felt like he is at home the way he has been performing for us. He understands the way that we want to play the game, and he brings his energy and his determination.

Net Victor Osimhen
Arsenal have had a club-record £76million offer for Napoli star Victor Osimhen rejected, in what works as a transfer boost for Manchester United.
The Gunners have been linked with a move to bring Osimhen to the Emirates with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah set to depart in June as free agents.
According to Calciomercato, the Partenopei have rejected the North Londoners’ bid as they hold out for more money.
It has been stated that the Serie A giants will only part ways with the striker should they receive a fee in the region of £93m.
The Italian news outlet has reported that it is possible Arsenal will return with a second bid for the Nigeria international
Youri Tielemans boost
Arsenal received a major transfer boost in their bid to sign Leicester star Youri Tielemans.
According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Tielemans is “keen” on a move to the Emirates.
The midfielder has stood out at the King Power Stadium this season and has been linked with a move away.
Manchester United and Real Madrid are also said to be interested in the Belgium international
Darwin Nunez blow
Arsenal have been dealt a transfer blow amid their reported interest in Benfica star Darwin Nunez.
That is because Real Madrid have joined the transfer war to land Nunez in the summer.

The Uruguay international’s displays have also caught the attention of Manchester United

Premier League’s Fab Five
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has revealed the five teams he believes will be fighting it out for the Premier League title next season – and it excludes Arsenal.
Tuchel said: “It will be a super tough race. Manchester United will be in the race, Tottenham will be in the race with Antonio Conte for sure, and we want to stay in the race.
“And Liverpool and Man City will do everything to even make their squads bigger.
“They set the standard so, so high and it will take the same to be competitive next season.
“While like everybody else tries to close the gap to us…the two top teams are what they are, a benchmark of consistency.
“That’s the situation and from there on we do our very best to be competitive because this is what we want to be”

Arsenal ace Nuno Tavares has claimed that Chelsea star Mason Mount is the toughest opponent he has faced while at the Gunners.
Speaking about his most tricky opponent on the Counter Attack YouTube channel, Tavares said: “Mason Mount of Chelsea.
“I think the positions, he knows the place he should be to make people feel uncomfortable and with the ball he has too much quality.
“He has goals, you know, so I think Mason Mount”

Arsenal want Saliba
Arsenal want William Saliba to return to the Emirates after his successful loan spell at Marseille.
According to L’Équipe, the Gunners’ board are convinced that Saliba will have an “integral role” next season.
The same report also claims that the centre-back could even be offered a new contract.
The Frenchman has repeatedly expressed his desire to stay at L’OM
Why would he?
Former Manchester City ace David James questioned why Gabriel Jesus would want to leave the Etihad for Arsenal.
James told Genting Casino: “If you look at Man City players’ appearances this season, Bernardo Silva and Rodri have played 30-plus Premier League games, but all the players in that attacking line-up have played around 25 games, so they’re not playing every week.
“Pep [Guardiola’s] rotation has worked perfectly in the sense that they won the Premier League again. I’d imagine [Erling] Haaland would fit into that mold, he’s not going to play every game. Also, with his injuries, there are question marks over whether he is physically capable of playing all the games.
“That being said, Jesus will have a shared role if he stays at Manchester City. This isn’t a buy-a-player-and-use-him-all-the-time situation, so there is still room for Jesus and why would he want to leave?
“You’ve got the best team in England over the past five years, so would he risk it by moving somewhere else to Arsenal, who aren’t even in the Champions League, or would he rather stay at Man City and try to get the Holy Grail, which is the Champions League?”
Arteta on Elneny
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is “delighted” with Mohamed Elneny’s new contract.
Arteta said: “Mo is a really important part of the team.
“He brings endless energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the team and is loved by everyone.
“He’s an important player for us on and off the pitch, a real role model to our younger players and I’m delighted he’s staying”
Nketiah turning Eds
Arsenal star Eddie Nketiah has enjoyed a stunning body transformation over recent years from a skinny teenage hopeful into a hulking Premier League striker.
Nketiah previously revealed how he spent the first lockdown in 2020 bulking up to cope better with the Prem’s physicality.
And the striker, who is set to become a free agent next month, certainly flexed his notably bigger muscles in the top-flight this term for the Gunners.
Check it out:
More from Nelson
Arsenal legend Robin van Persie is a coach with Feyenoord’s Under-16s and has a hand with the first team, occasionally helping with training.
It is there Van Persie gave the Gunners’ loanee Reiss Nelson a masterclass in movement in front of goal.
Nelson revealed: “Yeah, he does all the time. The little drop of the shoulder or coming short to go long or going long to come short.
“Little, simple stuff, but it gives you an extra yard or two to get in the box and finish”
Van Persie helps Nelson
Arsenal legend Robin van Persie has been helping his former club out by giving Feyenoord loanee Reiss Nelson tips.
Nelson told The Athletic: “Yeah, I speak with him.
“Sometimes he comes over on a Wednesday, before Europa Conference League games on a Thursday.
“I ask him about what positions I need to be getting in. Certain movements I need to be doing, certain finishes.
“He’s amazing. He makes it so much simpler for you to understand. Sometimes the ball will come inside, and you go to smash it.
“He’s just like, ‘Look, make sure you get [good] contact, make sure your body is this way, make sure you just want to hit it into the corner’”

Your in luck
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is pushing for a move for Leicester star Youri Tielemans.
Tielemans is out of contract at the King Power Stadium at the end of next season and has been linked with the likes of Real Madrid, Tottenham and Manchester United.
Arteta though has urged the Gunners to table an opening bid of £25million for the 25-year-old, according to the Telegraph.
The Foxes, though, could play hardball despite the dwindling months on the Belgium international’s contract and demand over £30m.
SunSport, though, exclusively revealed it could take as much as £40m to prise him away

Tammy Abraham boost
Roma manager Jose Mourinho insists Arsenal target Tammy Abraham just has to “click his fingers” and he can return to the Premier League.
Mourinho told Sky Sports: “I don’t think it’s an easy decision for a young player to leave his club, his house, his city, his country and to leave the Premier League which is of course a competition that when a player is in its hard to leave.
“He took that option and I think he took it because he trusted me. And I think in this moment, if he wants to go back to England – I don’t think he wants to no – but if he wants to go back to England he just needs to click his fingers and I’m so happy for him.
“He’s back in the national team and is loved in Rome.
“I don’t say proven everybody wrong, because I think everyone knows he’s a good player and I think also, with [Chris] Smalling, [Fikayo] Tomori and Tammy, showing the English boys that there is life outside the Premier League and in Italy there’s a life that makes them even better players”

Good morning Arsenal fans
Arsenal may convince Eddie Nketiah to sign a new deal at the Emirates.
That is according to reports claiming the Gunners are increasingly confident of Nketiah penning fresh terms.
Arsenal are preparing for a major transfer overhaul this summer after drawing up a shortlist with 11 players on it.
The Gunners’ priority is to sign a new striker, with Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus heading the list, according to The Athletic.
The North Londoners are also keeping tabs on Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Real Sociedad’s Alexander Isak, and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen in case they miss out on Jesus.
Arsenal director Edu remains a firm admirer of Inter Milan star Lautaro Martinez, but a new deal signed earlier this season could make him unattainable at a cost-effective price.
They have also moved quickly to sign Marquinhos, with the winger set to undergo medicals and finalise a deal.
While Arsenal’s striker list is extensive, in midfield their options are far more narrowed down, with Leicester’s Youri Tielemans and Wolves’ Ruben Neves both wanted.
Despite William Saliba not wanting to return to Arsenal, boss Mikel Arteta wants him back.
Arteta is now finally keen to integrate his young star into his Arsenal defence.
Gareth Southgate has named Arsenal stars Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White and Bukayo Saka in his 27-man England squad for the upcoming Nations League matches.

Milan said the knee operation, which was performed in France, had been scheduled for a while to “definitively resolve the joint’s instability”.

The club added: “The operation was a complete success and the prognosis is estimated between seven and eight months.”
Ibrahimovic will be 41 by then.
After Milan clinched its first Serie A title since 2011 on Sunday, Ibrahimovic said he would only continue playing if he felt well and added that it had been a difficult few months for him.
Ibrahimovic’s return at the start of 2020 signalled a turnaround for Milan that saw the Rossoneri finish second last season and end their 11-year wait for the league title this campaign.

Arsenal make final contract offer to Eddie Nketiah amid transfer interest from West Ham and Crystal Palace
by Philippa Kaur 25 May 2022, 15:40
ARSENAL have made Eddie Nketiah a final contract offer to keep him at the Emirates Stadium. The Daily Mail are reporting that there is growing confidence that Nketiah will stay at the club despite increasing interest from West Ham and Crystal Palace.

The striker had reportedly rejected the chance to extend his current deal, which is up this summer.
But having enjoyed a run in the starting XI at the end of the season, he may now have been convinced to stay.
Mikel Arteta is supposedly a big fan of Nketiah and with Alexandre Lacazette leaving the club there is a chance he continues as first choice striker next season.

Bayern are one of several clubs to be linked with United’s floundering front-man.
The German giants could lose Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona, and were eyeing Rashford as a possible replacement for the Poland international.
However, it seems Rashford still wants to prove his worth to the Red Devils, according to The Telegraph.
Ten Hag’s plan to challenge Liverpool and Manchester City for the Premier League title has resonated with Rashford.

The England international will travel to America for a grueling training schedule next month, before linking back up with his United teammates on June 27, the report adds.
But before getting down to business, Rashford was spotted leaving a swanky restaurant in Los Angeles with Jesse Lingard on Wednesday.
The pair may have been tucking into a farewell meal for Lingard who is set to leave United on a free transfer this summer.
