Rangers: Beale Could Unearth Next McGregor In Teen Starlet

Glasgow Rangers could be set for the biggest squad rebuild in years this summer, as Michael Beale aims to ship out the deadwood and underperformers that have contributed to a poor season.

There are seven first team players out of contract come the end of 2022/2023 and moving them on could free up some funds which could go towards potential new signings as Beale will look to assert his own authority on the squad.

One of those who is set to leave as it stands is Allan McGregor. The ‘keeper has played over 500 times for the club and has entered legend status, even being voted into the club’s Hall of Fame earlier this year.

Aged 41, it is time for the Ibrox side to move him on, and although he has been an excellent stalwart for the club, the previous few years haven’t been his finest and Beale must turn towards someone else to take on the mantle as the number one next term.

Robby McCrorie could be in with an excellent chance, however there is a youngster who is shining out on loan that could emerge as the next McGregor if he is nurtured correctly – Jay Hogarth.

Who is Rangers’ Jay Hogarth?

The 19-year-old is looking to follow in McGregor’s footsteps by gaining plenty as much experience out on loan during his formative years as he can.

The 41-year-old enjoyed a loan spell at Dunfermline which prepared him for the rigours of senior football and Hogarth has certainly impressed at Alloa Athletic this term.

Across 40 matches in all competitions for the Wasps, he has conceded 53 goals while keeping 11 clean sheets (all in the league) and the club have secured a playoff spot thanks to these wonderful performances.

Alloa boss Brian Rice praised Hogarth a few months ago, saying: “Jay has done brilliantly for us this season and has only missed one game.”

And it looks as though he has thrived at this level, gaining plenty of game time and could be set to take the next step up in 2023/2024.

Allan McGregor for Rangers

The ‘keeper has also made progress through the youth groups at international level too, being called up for the Scotland U16s, U17s and U19s, although he has yet to make an appearance and the player has even been included in the Rangers’ matchday squad on several occasions, most notably for the tie against Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League, underlining how talented he is.

The youngster still has a long way to go, but if he continues this rich vein of form, there is no doubt the Gers may have another McGregor on their hands.

Richard Keys Left Furious Over What He Saw In Liverpool Win

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been slammed for his celebrations following Diogo Jota’s late winner on the weekend against Tottenham Hotspur.

What did Jurgen Klopp do?

Sunday’s game at Anfield offered the fans 90 minutes they will never forget after a stunning start saw them take a 3-0 lead against the north London side.

However, the Lilywhites slowly worked their way back into the game and in dramatic fashion, former Everton player, Richarlison came off the bench to score an injury-time equaliser.

The Brazilian had just about put his shirt back on as Liverpool broke from the resulting kick-off to which Jota slammed the ball beyond Fraser Forster to seal the points.

Late euphoria clearly got the better of Klopp who immediately ran towards the fourth official to celebrate in his face as the Reds rose into fifth place of the table.

The German boss was shown a yellow card by Paul Tierney following the incident and seemingly injured his hamstring in the dramatic celebrations.

However, the incident did not go down well with beIN Sports presenter Richard Keys who was left furious with the actions of the Liverpool boss:

“He is box office, but there are occasions he strays beyond what’s acceptable, and today he’s done that.”

“If he’s more responsible than he was this afternoon, he will – as he has done – accept once again, he’s lost control. And that is a flaw in his character. And he cannot continue to do that.”

“But I would say that someone needs to have a word and say: ‘Look, come on. You can’t do that.'”

Did Klopp cross the line?

There is no denying the final minutes of the game on Sunday will have stirred the emotions for all involved at Liverpool and none more so than Klopp.

However, his actions did cross the line following the goal in the dying moments of the game and he could have certainly gone about it differently.

The German could have celebrated with his players and coaching staff, but he has gone out of his way to make a point towards the officials.

Following the game, the 55-year-old was quick to bring up the moment he was shown a yellow card by Paul Tierney when speaking to Sky Sports:

“My celebration towards the fourth official, I didn’t say any bad words or nothing unnecessary, which is fair. I got my punishment by pulling my hamstring. But what he said to me when he gave me the yellow card is not okay.”

If the PGMOL do decide to take further action against Klopp, the German will likely find it incredibly difficult to defend his celebration given the manner of which he approached the fourth official.

However, it will be interesting to see whether anything comes of his comments about what Tierney allegedly said to him when handing him the yellow card.

Both team arguably got away with red card offences during the game, so perhaps Klopp should have recognised Tierney’s questionable officiating and brought it up with him after the game when he would’ve had the chance behind the scenes.

Liverpool Send Chiefs To Watch £77m Defensive "Superstar"

Liverpool have deployed chiefs to assess Benfica defender Antonio Silva ahead of a potential move to the Premier League, according to reports.

What's the latest on Silva to Liverpool?

The Portugal international is an academy graduate at the Primeira Liga outfit, where he’s worked his way up through the youth ranks to become a regular feature of Roger Schmidt’s first team, and his 40 senior appearances to date have caught the eye of Jurgen Klopp.

Football Transfers reports that the Reds have made the 19-year-old one of their top targets for the upcoming window and are hopeful that their existing connection to Benfica following their purchase of Darwin Nunez will help give them an advantage in their pursuit, not to mention that he also shares the same agent as the Uruguayan, alongside Diogo Jota and Fabinho.

The Merseyside outfit are claimed to be confident of winning the race for the centre-back despite him also attracting interest from Manchester United and Real Madrid, and they have already taken the next official step towards completing a deal.

According to Football Insider, Liverpool have “sent scouts” to watch Silva live in action as they weigh up making an official approach ahead of the 2023/24 campaign. Benfica’s homegrown talent isn’t out of contract for another four years, but his current terms include a £77m release clause, meaning that he could depart before then should that fee be paid by a potential suitor. The Red Devils are once again name-checked in the report as well as Manchester City, with the teenager’s club preparing for a “huge battle” at the end of the season.

Benfica defender Antonio Silva.

Would Silva be a good signing for Liverpool?

Silva is still at a very young age and obviously doesn’t have experience in the Premier League, but having participated at the World Cup and in the Champions League, he could be a hugely promising signing for the long-term future at Liverpool.

Sky Sports pundit and Anfield legend Jamie Carragher previously claimed that the defender will go on to become a “superstar”, and he may not be wrong considering he’s currently averaging 2.8 clearances and 1.8 tackles per league game, as per WhoScored – not to mention that he’s extremely composed on the ball, as evidenced by his ranking in the 99th percentile for pass completion over the past year (via FBref).

Over the course of 92 appearances since the start of his career, Silva has additionally found the back of the net ten times and has provided one assist, so is capable of contributing to his team’s efforts at the opposite end of the pitch on occasion, making this a no-brainer of a deal to complete should the opportunity to sign him arise.

Chelsea "Ready" To Bid For £43m "Monster" Of A Centre-Back

Chelsea are ready to bid for Kim Min-Jae, with Napoli reportedly shopping to replace the centre-back. The Scudetto winners are being targeted in the transfer market after their stunning domestic campaign.

What's the latest Kim Min-Jae transfer news?

Italian publication Il Mattino, via Sport Witness, reports that there is doubt surrounding whether Kim will remain at Napoli, although the expectation is that he will leave. His contract contains a release clause which is set somewhere between €50m and €60m – the media aren't sure on the specifics, but depending on the location of the suitor, Napoli will quote a different price.

Chelsea are "ready to offer" whatever it will take to sign Kim this summer. He has earned rave reviews with his dominant and simple defending, giving the likes of Victor Osimhen and Kvicha Kvaratshkelia a basis upon which to attack from.

Napoli appear to already be shopping for the South Korean's replacement, with Atalanta's Giorgio Scalvini their main target.

Could Kim Min-Jae revolutionise Chelsea's backline?

Min-Jae is a "monster" of a defender – it's a nickname the player says sums his game up and it's a hint of what Chelsea could get for a very low price.

Whether it's €50m (£43m) or €60m (£52m), the Blues could be about to seal a significant bargain. Not only is the defender 6 foot 2, he is aggressive but measured, strong but agile on the ball and above all else, he offers a calm approach to playing out from the back.

In the Premier League, being able to build out from the back without panicking is a vital skill. The South Korean ranks in the 96th percentile for 'Progressive Passing Dstance' which means only four percent of centre-backs cover more distance with their passes forward.

This includes long balls but it primarily covers short passes from centre-backs to midfielders, fullbacks or wingers.

He ranks in the 99th percentile for the percentage of 'Dribblers Tackled' and 'Challenges Lost'. In short, he's a ball-winning animal and would safeguard Chelsea's defence for years to come if they can complete a deal to sign him this summer.

Former Pakistan Test player and umpire Javed Akhtar dies

ESPNcricinfo staff08-Jul-2016Javed Akhtar, the former Pakistan spinner and international umpire, died in Rawalpindi on Friday. He was 75.Akhtar, an offspinner, made his international debut as a 21-year old against England at Leeds in 1962. He went wicketless in the match that Pakistan lost by an innings and 117 runs. It would be his only Test in a first-class career that spanned 17 seasons, from 1959-60 to 1975-1976.He returned to the international arena as an umpire in the same year he retired, when he first officiated in an ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand in Sialkot.Overall, Akhtar, who served on the ICC panel from 1997 to 1999, officiated in 18 Tests and 40 ODIs, the last of which was at the 1999 World Cup in a league fixture between England and India.

Arsenal: Gunners Targeting "Massive" £50M Star

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has decided to target a central defender behind-the-scenes with Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi on the agenda.

Who could Arsenal sign this summer?

As the Gunners chase a first league title in nearly 20 years, with Arsenal still well in contention despite Man City's unstoppable resurgence recently, sporting director Edu is reportedly identifying targets for the summer window.

The north Londoners are said to be in the market for a central midfield star above all, at least according to recent reports. Indeed, West Ham star Declan Rice and Brighton's Moises Caicedo apparently feature highly in the club's thinking.

This is regardless of Jorginho's signing in January with the Emirates Stadium side actively looking to reinforce that key area. Elsewhere in the team, moves for attacking options further forward haven't been excluded, as Arsenal hold a serious interest in both Vitor Roque and Barcelona star Raphinha.

Now, as per a report from The Daily Mail and journalist Sami Mokbel, Arteta is personally looking to strengthen another position in the squad. The Spaniard has now decided to target a centre-back behind-the-scenes, placing one near the top of his summer transfer wishlist.

As such, Palace defender Guehi is a player attracting interest from Arsenal, and it is believed that the Eagles could be tempted by a £50 million offer for their star.

William Saliba's lower back injury has exposed Arsenal's lack of depth in the middle of defence, making the signing of reinforcements for the position one of their priorities for this summer.

What could Guehi bring to Arsenal?

As per WhoScored, the England international ranks in Palace's top two for clearances made and interceptions per 90 – all whilst being their most-selected Premier League player.

Having featured over more league minutes than anybody at Selhurst Park, Guehi has been a key player under both Patrick Vieira and Roy Hodgson over the 2022/2023 campaign.

The 22-year-old has also been praised as an 'absolute tank' and 'massive' by goalkeeper Josef Bursik, who said this on his former England Under-21 teammate:

"Easy, Marc Guehi. He’s an absolute tank.

“It’s like having a brick wall in front of you, he’s massive.”

When asked who was the strongest player in that Under-21s side back in 2021, midfielder Conor Gallagher added:

"Definitely Marc. You can’t get round him and you can’t move him, so it’s definitely him.”

Arguably one of England's most exciting young defenders, he would be a stellar addition for Arteta.

Tottenham: Spurs Chiefs Eyeing Star To Replace Kulusevski

Tottenham Hotspur chiefs are now reportedly weighing up the signing of Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze as a replacement for winger Dejan Kulusevski, who could go back to Italy.

What's the latest Spurs transfer news?

Spurs are currently spinning many plates and have a lot of unresolved issues to contend with ahead of this looming summer transfer window – namely their pursuit of a new manager and sporting director.

The latter two issues take real precedence, with chairman Daniel Levy allegedly narrowing down his managerial shortlist to just a few names as he also looks to appoint Fabio Paratici's replacement before the end of the Premier League season.

The contracts of both long-serving goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and star striker Harry Kane are also set to expire next year as things stand – and Levy quite simply must tie the latter man down with fresh terms.

Despite these issues coming to the forefront, Spurs have actively been looking at targets for the summer window, with the likes of James Maddison (Leicester City) firmly on their radar among others.

There has been some debate surrounding the future of winger Kulusevski, as it still isn't official that Spurs are activating the buy-option in his contract, leading to speculation he could return to parent club Juventus.

Dejan-Kulusevski-Spurs-Tottenham

The Swede enjoyed a phenomenal debut campaign last season, instantly making an impact under Antonio Conte after signing in January 2022.

However, with Spurs yet to confirm him on a permanent deal, reports now claim they could source a replacement.

Indeed, one Spanish report says that Tottenham "management" have been eyeing Palace star Eze as a "high impact acquisition" – not to mention a potential "star signing to replace Kulusevski".

It's added that Kulusevski is set to return to Turin this summer, with Spurs needing to sign a successor as they target a possible summer move for Eze.

He also has an estimated value of around £26 million, according to this source out of Spain.

What could Eze bring to Spurs?

The 24-year-old, who has been in fine form for Palace under both Roy Hodgson and Patrick Vieira – standing out as their top scorer in the English top flight (WhoScored).

Eze also boasts their highest number of goal contributions (including assists) overall, with Tony Cascarino heaping praise on the Eagles attacker for his form over 2022/2023.

He is "scoring goals for fun" according to Cascarino (via talkSPORT), leaving little surprise Spurs have taken an interest, though it remains to be seen if Tottenham do in fact let Kulusevski leave.
