Mercato : Toni Kroos en route vers l’Arabie saoudite ?

Selon Bild,  Toni Kroos fait parti une liste des meilleurs joueurs allemands qui ont été interrogés sur un déménagement en Arabie saoudite cet été, affirmant que le milieu de terrain du Real Madrid avait refusé l’approche en faveur d’un séjour au Santiago Bernabeu pour une autre saison.

Kroos, 33 ans, a confirmé le mois dernier que les négociations contractuelles avec Madrid étaient “sur la bonne voie” et qu’il était sur le point de rester, après avoir pesé plus tôt s’il devait continuer à jouer ou prendre une retraite anticipée.

Selon Bild, Kroos, Thomas Muller et Mario Gotze ont tous reçu des demandes d’Arabie saoudite dans l’espoir qu’ils pourraient rejoindre Cristiano Ronaldo et Karim Benzema dans la Saudi Pro League, mais tous les trois ont refusé

Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice injuries ‘don’t look good’ – Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta

Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice injuries ‘don’t look good’ – Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta
Spread the love

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says that injuries to England duo Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice “don’t look good” after they were taken off injured during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

Rice, who was playing with a broken toe, was withdrawn in the 71st minute before Saka was taken off after receiving treatment on a leg injury 10 minutes later.

“It doesn’t look good, because for two players of that importance to tell you they cannot continue in the game, it’s not good news.” said Arteta.

Arsenal have had to deal with a number of injuries to key players this season and Saka also missed two games after picking up an injury playing for England in the last international break.

Both Saka and Rice are in interim head coach Lee Carsley’s England squad for next week’s Nations League games. England play away in Greece on Thursday, 14 November before hosting the Republic of Ireland three days later at Wembley.

But Arteta is unsure if the pair will be able to join up with the national side.

“I don’t know whether to expect them to be fit because if not they don’t come off,” he said.

“What I’m praying for is that after the international break we have the team fully physically equipped, that they are available and that they are fit, because it’s been a nightmare for eight weeks.”

Martin Odegaard started his first match for two months for Arsenal and played the whole match. Arteta said he will speak to his captain about a potential international call-up for Norway.

Arsenal go into the international break nine points off the top of the Premier League table and are without a win in five matches in all competitions.

Bruno Fernandes back in form as Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim set to arrive

Bruno Fernandes back in form as Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim set to arrive
Spread the love

A combination of the number of players leaving for international duty this week, and some of those not called up being given time off, means that it will be largely those who are injured that Amorim first gets to see when he reports for duty at United’s Carrington training complex.

It means the fact United need a couple of days to secure his work visa is not too much of an inconvenience.

It also allows the club to tie up all the loose ends around Amorim’s coaching team, with interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy stating after the Leicester game he expects to hear either on Sunday or Monday whether he and the remainder of Ten Hag’s team who stayed on following the Dutchman’s dismissal last month are to stay.

When he gets round to assessing this latest performance, aside from Fernandes’ efforts, Amorim will see a largely solid defensive display, which secured a first Premier League clean sheet for over a month, a decent first-half from Amad Diallo, and a goalscoring second-half from Alejandro Garnacho, even if the Argentine was too fed up at being criticised for his recent displays to celebrate.

Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro were decent in central midfield without being spectacular against a Leicester side their manager Steve Cooper admitted had not been good enough in both boxes.

And United won. Depending on how you choose to assess the Premier League table, Amorim arrives with United either 13th, way below expectations, or only four points off a Champions League place, for which fifth might be good enough.

BBC Sport asked Van Nistelrooy after the match whether the current United squad could excel in Amorim’s new style.

His answer didn’t entirely fill anyone with confidence.

“That is a very good question,” he said. “When I started at the beginning of this four game period I decided to continue by 85% playing what the players are used and just put in little tweaks by changing players or resting players to try get the confidence back. We were looking for results and we got four.

“But the wing backs and inside forwards, it is a lot to analyse. I can’t comment on that.”

Presumably if Van Nistelrooy were entirely confident about the flexibility of players he has been working with since the start of the season, a straightforward ‘yes’ would have come into his head.

And the secondary – but very important – point is the chance for Amorim to do any meaningful work on the training ground will be virtually non-existent.

If United progress in the EFL Cup, he might have one spare midweek in his first three months in charge. Amorim is acutely aware of this which is why he is playing down the expectations that rose so dramatically in the wake of Sporting’s defeat of Manchester City last week.

Amorim will need to find a trio of defenders that fit his back three brief, knowing his quickest option, Leny Yoro, is among those coming back from injury. Presumably Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui will fill the wing back slots, with Ugarte, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen the midfield berths, at least until Kobbie Mainoo is available again.

But Fernandes is the crucial element.

Portugal’s second Nations League game doesn’t take place until Monday, 18 November, even further limiting the new head coach’s time with the Fernandes before the Premier League trip to Ipswich on 24 November.

Van Nistelrooy has stabilised the situation at Old Trafford. But if United are to move on under Amorim, he needs to find the best way of getting the most out of Fernandes as the captain moves back into form.

‘The ultimate mould to build a perfect striker’ – how good is Newcastle’s Alexander Isak?

‘The ultimate mould to build a perfect striker’ – how good is Newcastle’s Alexander Isak?
Spread the love

The goals are flowing again for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, but could the Magpies soon face a fight to keep him at St James’ Park?

The 25-year-old Sweden forward scored for the fourth time in four games to help his side fight back to beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 on Sunday, and his all-round display impressed former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott, who was watching for BBC MOTD2.

“When you talk about the mould for the ultimate build of a perfect striker, Isak has got all of those elements,” Walcott told BBC Sport.

“I am not saying he is perfect yet, but he has got all the attributes he needs to become perfect.

“Whether that will happen at Newcastle, I don’t know. But they need to tie him down pretty quickly otherwise they are going to lose him.

“Isak is the sort of player Arsenal genuinely need, but you would say everyone needs a player like him in their team right now, even Liverpool, and it is not just Premier League teams who will be trying to get hold of him either.

“Look at Real Madrid’s line-up at this moment in time. They go for these Galacticos and buy these incredible talents, but they sometimes put them in positions where they can’t quite do it.

“I would say that if you put Isak in that Real team then he moulds them together in a different way, where you might think they now look like a very well-balanced team.

“That’s the level he’s at, and I can absolutely understand why all the very top teams would want him.

“As well as his all-round forward play, he scores goals as well – all kinds of different goals. As I said on MOTD2, his finish against Forest when the ball dropped for him in the box was pure class, after the brilliant header he put away against Arsenal last week.

“There is more to come from him as well. Newcastle are a good team, but put him in a better team and he would get better too.”
