One less unwanted person at PSG
According to the information from Times in England, Newcastle are ready to sign Hugo Ekitike on loan this winter. Eddie Howe wants greater bench depth and has therefore set his sights on the French striker to relieve his attack. The priority also remains Kalvin Phillips to strengthen the Magpies midfield.
Guardiola’s punchline
At a press conference, the Everton coach explains that he had to re-mobilize his players after the 10-point deduction which pushed the Toffees to the bottom of the standings. The sanction is seen as an injustice by the men at Goodison Park, who fully intend to fight to stay in the Premier League. An identical sporting sanction is also possible for Manchester City, which would be a disaster for the club which hopes to win all the trophies with its XXL squad. Pep Guardiola shocked everyone yesterday at a press conference with a punchline, seen as a declaration of love. “For now, we are innocent. I know people want it. I know it, I feel it. I’ll wait. Wait and see what happens, and once the sentence is pronounced, we will come here to explain it. But my future here does not depend on my presence in the Premier League or League One. I’m more likely to stay if we’re in League One than if we win the Champions League“, he explained. He therefore sees himself staying at City even if the club falls to the 3rd division.
Good news for Vini
According to information from Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, we will have to watch the month of January carefully. Indeed, Vincius Jr should be able to return to play with Real Madrid sooner than expected. His unavailability for two and a half months could be shortened. “Viní will try to do something special. He wants to be available at the end of January“, reported the high-profile journalist on Kick Streaming. There is evidence that the Merengues trust the Brazilian, because according to AS, Real Madrid does not intend to recruit an attacker this winter to compensate for his absence.
