David Seaman thinks Manchester United will get the better of Arsenal in the summer transfer market despite them being in a “very similar situation”.

Neither club have Champions League football to attract players to their clubs, while both need to strengthen their defence as a matter of urgency.

And Seaman sees United having the edge over the Gunners due to their massive spending power.

“When you look at Arsenal, they’re in a very similar situation to United,” Seaman told talkSPORT.

“They need to strengthen at the back, they’re both without Champions League football, so it’s going to be testing times.

“I would say United [are in a better place than Arsenal] because of their buying power and the money they will pay for players.

“That [Arsenal’s transfer budget] is so frustrating at Arsenal because the club is running on a good profit.

“The fans are so frustrated at the moment, especially with the result in the Europa League final against Chelsea.

“I watched it and it was a disappointing result.

“It was made a little bit better by the weekend result [Tottenham being beaten by Liverpool in the Champions League final], but it’s so disappointing.

“They’re struggling. It’s just so frustrating being an Arsenal fan and an ex-Arsenal player at the moment.

“You know what the club is capable of, so you’re just like, ‘come on, let’s see what you’ve got’.”

Raheem Sterling woke up “fuming” after a PR company connected to him claimed he would captain England in their Nations League semi-final against Holland.

A press release circulated late on Tuesday evening suggested the Manchester City forward would lead out the Three Lions to mark the occasion of his 50th cap.

There was no official confirmation from the Football Association at the time, while manager Gareth Southgate remained tight-lipped over who would wear the armband when he addressed the media on the eve of the Holland clash.

The press release read: “The Football Writers’ Footballer of the Year is set to wear the Captain’s armband for England’s UEFA Nations League semi-final fixture against The Netherlands in Portugal, on Thursday evening, 6th June.”

But Sterling insisted he knew nothing of the release and had not spoken to anyone, including Southgate, before Tuesday evening – revealing he apologised to the England boss when he realised what had happened.

“I couldn’t tell you that,” Sterling replied when asked what had prompted the release.

“I woke up this morning fuming. I hadn’t had a conversation with Gareth or anyone in my agency, so it was a strange one to wake up to.

“The first thing I did after I came off the phone to my agent was see Gareth down the hallway, and I apologised to him for what had happened. I don’t know where that’s come from.”

Southgate would not be drawn on who would captain his side in Guimaraes, given there are fitness concerns over regular skipper Harry Kane.

The Tottenham forward appeared jaded as he made his first start for seven weeks in Saturday’s 2-0 Champions League defeat to Liverpool.

Southgate refused to rule Kane out of the contest against the Dutch and would not give away any of his team selection in advance so as not to give Holland boss Ronald Koeman an advantage.

“If I confirm anything about the team other than that Raheem is playing, I’m doing half of Ronald’s job for him,” he said.

“I don’t want to discuss the captaincy. Harry Kane is our captain. If he doesn’t play, then I have a decision to make. I’m not prepared to say whether Harry Kane is playing tomorrow.”

While the decision is Southgate’s to make, Sterling – who will collect his 50th cap at the age of 24 – said he would be proud to captain his country at some point.

“That’s something that’s down to the manager, not for me to decide,” he said.

“But if the manager did do that, it’s something I’d be proud and happy to do for sure. That’s up to the manager.”

Sterling has enjoyed a fine season for club and country, having lifted a domestic treble with Manchester City, earning the Football Writers Footballer of the Year award and reinvigorating his England career.

The former Liverpool man had scored just two goals in his first 45 senior caps before hitting six in his last four appearances.

He struck a brace as England won 3-2 in Spain on their way to reaching the Nations League finals and followed that up with a Wembley hat-trick in a 5-1 Euro 2020 qualifying win against the Czech Republic.

Having been criticised in some circles as England reached the semi-finals of the World Cup last summer, Sterling admits he hit the reset button after the tournament and hailed his goals against Spain as a watershed moment.

“I feel grown up,” he said.

“I’ve watched a lot of England games and I always had a dream to play for them. I never thought I’d be in with a chance to make a 50th cap.

“It is a massive achievement for me and something I’ll cherish for the rest of my life, and so will my family.

“Spain was a massive turning point for me, to break my duck. A massive highlight was being part of that World Cup squad, being able to go so far in the tournament, but disappointed not to go the full way. It’s a learning curve, something we’ll take into the game tomorrow.

“At 17 or 18 years of age, I wasn’t looking at my goals to games ratio. I wanted to enjoy it and be free.

“It was only a few years ago that I realised how bad my record was with England. I put pressure on myself to end that drought, which wasn’t a great thing to do.

“I spoke with the manager and the other players and I’m just glad I’ve broken that drought now.”

Manchester City have reportedly triggered Joao Felix’s £106million release clause at Benfica as the race heats up for his signature.

Real Madrid and neighbours Manchester United have also been linked with a move for the highly-rated Portuguese youngster.

Reports at the beginning of May in the Evening Standard claimed Red Devils’ boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants ‘to make a flying start to his summer overhaul‘ with a move for Felix.

However, ‘reports in Portugal’ (via The Sun) say that City have skipped a bidding war by making a bid of £106million, which matches the forward’s release clause.

That offer is way more than the £80million that Real Madrid are understood to have offered for Felix, who is hoping to make his first senior international appearance for Portugal in their Nations League semi-final clash with Switzerland.

The 19-year-old, who was also the subject of reported interest from Liverpool earlier in the season, scored 18 goals and created 11 assists in 40 appearances for Benfica this season.

 

Real Betis attacking midfielder Giovani Lo Celso favours a move to Tottenham over Manchester United, according to reports.

Lo Celso scored nine goals and made four assists in his debut campaign in La Liga, following a loan move from PSG that was soon made permanent.

BBC Sport claimed recently that Spurs have bid €60million (£53m) for the Argentine, with the Daily Mirror reporting it had been unsuccessful.

Marca also recently reported that United have now joined the race for Lo Celso, whose release clause is set at €100m.

PSG are entitled to 20% of any sell-on fee, so Betis are eager to earn as much money as possible from the potential sale of the 23-year-old.

And now Sky Sports say ‘wants to move to Tottenham this summer’ as he is keen to link up with compatriot Mauricio Pochettino.

The report adds that Spurs are ‘hopeful of concluding a deal’ as the north London club ‘remain in talks with Betis’.

The highest amount Tottenham have paid for a player is the £42million fee needed to buy Davinson Sanchez from Ajax and any deal for Lo Celso is likely to eclipse that.

 

Matthijs de Ligt agent Mino Raiola reportedly wants the Ajax defender to join Liverpool or Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

De Ligt to Manchester United is one signing we would love to see this summer with the most recent reports indicating that the Red Devils are ‘determined to spend a lot of money’ this summer on De Ligt and other players.

The Netherlands international has not only been linked with a move to Old Trafford but also heavily with Barcelona, who had been considered favourites to sign the centre-back.

Catalan radio station RAC1 claimed recently that Barca’s deal is apparently being held up by Raiola as the agent has asked for 20 per cent commission for the deal to go through.

That has given other clubs the opportunity to swoop in on the potential €70million (£61.7m) transfer.

On Tuesday, German newspaper Bild have suggested that Liverpool may sign De Ligt following their Champions League success.

With De Ligt claiming that he has “several options” on the table with “one option” the most logical.

And now Wednesday’s edition of Catalan newspaper Sport (via Sport Witness) reckons Liverpool have joined PSG in the race for De Ligt.

The report adds that his representative Raiola only sees De Ligt joining Liverpool or PSG and not Barcelona, as the Spanish giants cannot meet the centre-back’s requirements.

Liverpool are understood to be Barcelona’s ‘biggest competitor’ but Sport don’t mention United as a rival for his signature due to their lack of Champions League football.

 

Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City will rival Manchester United for Leicester City midfielder James Maddison, according to reports.

Maddison had a brilliant season for the Foxes following a move from Norwich City last summer, scoring seven times and providing seven assists for his team-mates in 38 appearances in all competitions.

The Independent claimed on Tuesday that Maddison is their new priority in the transfer market this summer with United in pole position to land the 22-year-old who may cost £60million.

And now the Daily Star has backed up the reports of United‘s interest but also add that Liverpool, Spurs and City will all rival the Red Devils for his signature.

The newspaper continued by saying that ‘all of them have enquired’ and that Leicester will only sell if a ‘ridiculous bid comes in’ that meets their valuation.

Maddison is set to be at the centre of one of the ‘biggest domestic transfer scrambles of the summer’.

 

Former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol thinks Jurgen Klopp “to get rid of” Divock Origi despite his Champions League heroics.

Origi spent last season on loan at Bundesliga side Wolfsburg before returning to play a bit part for the Reds this season as he made seven starts in all competitions.

The Belgium international bagged crucial goals in their Champions League semi-final victory over Barcelona and in the final against Tottenham on Saturday.

The striker has been offered a new deal by the club and is expected to sign a long-term contract – but Nicol doesn’t think that Origi should stay for his and “Liverpool‘s sake”.

“For Liverpool’s sake, they should get rid of him, let him go, depends on how harsh or nicely you want to put it,” Nicol said.

“He has to go for his sake but for Liverpool’s sake, they’ve got themselves into a place now where they need to think ‘how do we take the next step?’.

“And for me taking the next step is making the squad better and bigger.

“I don’t feel that Divock Origi makes our squad better.

“Whenever he has played, whenever he has come on, generally for Firmino to give him a break, the level has dropped too far in my opinion.

“That’s why ultimately they have to get rid of him.

“Now, he’s going to be remembered forever and a day, not only for the Champions League goal in the final, but obviously for the one against Barcelona and against Everton.

“So he will be remembered but unfortunately, as a player, he’s just not good enough to be playing at the level Liverpool need to be every time they step on the field.”

 

Manchester United and Arsenal have added Stuttgart defender Ozan Kabak to their transfer shortlists this summer, according to reports.

The 19-year-old completed a move to Germany from Galatasaray back in January and he managed 17 appearances in total as Stuttgart ended up being relegated from the Bundesliga.

However, talkSPORT claims that a number of top European sides are ready to move for the youngster, who may well be available for a cut-price fee of around £13million.

The reports states that United and the Gunners are set for a transfer battle in the coming weeks, while Tottenham are also keeping a close eye on Kabak‘s situation.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Unai Emery are both expected to revamp their squads after disappointing seasons, with defensive issues haunting both sides at various points of the campaign.

Arsenal are expected to potentially lose veteran star Laurent Koscielny this summer, while United are still searching for a partner for their most consistent performer last term in Victor Lindelof.

Kabak is known as a tough tackler who is composed in possession and won his first call up to the Turkey squad in the second half of the campaign.

Kieran Trippier says his future lies in the hands of Tottenham this summer amid interest from home and abroad.

The right-back, a key player for England at last summer’s World Cup, has had a disappointing campaign, not helped by a niggling groin injury picked up in Russia.

That poor form, despite playing in a side which reached the Champions League final and booked a top-four spot in the Premier League, has seen him dropped from the Three Lions’ squad for this week’s Nations League finals.

Spurs are understood to be willing to allow Trippier to leave the club and he has been heavily linked with a move to Napoli and Manchester United.

Trippier, who again disappointed in the defeat to Liverpool in Madrid on Saturday, does not know where he will be next season.

“I don’t know,” he said when asked about his future. “I go home now, spend time with my family, just recover after a long, difficult season. Everybody’s got a decision to make, no matter what.

“Obviously this club has been very good for me over the last few years but I’ll enjoy my summer, come back in pre-season and that’s when I’ll sit down with the manager and have a talk about my future.

“I see a lot of speculation about me not being here. I give everything, 100 per cent every game, win lose or draw. So we’ll see what happens in pre-season.”

Trippier has been heavily linked with a move to Serie A side Napoli, while Manchester United and Atletico Madrid are also reported to be keen on him.

The 28-year-old, who was in tears following the full-time whistle in Madrid and made an effort to thank the fans, is keen to keep playing in England.

“I want to stay in England. But what can you do?” he added. “I’ll see what happens and what the club wants, most importantly.

“I give everything for this club – training sessions, games – so we’ll see what happens in pre-season.”

 

Alan Shearer believes Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino got his decision to play Harry Kane and Harry Winks in the Champions League final “wrong”.

Click Here: bape jacket cheap

The English duo started in Madrid on Saturday – despite missing a lot of football recently – as Liverpool beat Spurs 2-0 to win their sixth European Cup.

“I’m sure Pochettino agonised over whether to start Harry Kane but he got that one wrong,” Shearer said in The Sun.

“Kane didn’t look fit at all and didn’t turn up in Madrid — he was nowhere near as sharp as he could and should have been.

“I imagine Harry was in Pochettino’s ear all week and he has had a week to judge it based on seeing him in training. I’ve been in the same situation myself.

“He may never feature in a European Cup final again so he would have been desperate to play. But you have to judge him on his performance and he simply wasn’t 100 per cent fit.

“Harry Winks was exactly the same — he hadn’t played for over two months yet he was risked to start in such a huge game for the club.

“To play one was a gamble, to play two who haven’t played for that long was a huge risk and it didn’t pay off.

“I’m sure Pochettino will be thinking ‘If only’. If only he had done something different. Lucas Moura could have offered them an alternative way of playing.

“The big difference was Klopp had the same decision to make with Roberto Firmino, who started the game despite clearly not being fit.

“After 55 minutes, Firmino made one bad pass too many and Klopp dragged him off and put Divock Origi on, while Kane was left on all night and offered hardly anything.”
