According to The Express, Arsenal are monitoring Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

What’s the story?

Mikel Arteta’s side currently have a number of strikers on their books, but with Alexandre Lacazette’s contract coming to an end in the summer of 2022, the Gunners may be on the look-out for a new centre-forward.

And, according to The Express, one man who is attracting interest from the Premier League side’s recruitment team is Toney.

The report claims that Arsenal are set to “keep a watchful eye” over the Brentford star, and that while there is nothing imminent in their interest, their scouts are going to continue monitoring his development with the Championship outfit.

Edu can get Lacazette’s successor

Despite Lacazette’s great form over these past few weeks – he’s managed four goals in his past four Premier League games – the fact he will turn 30 in May puts the Gunners in a difficult position.

The Mesut Ozil situation has no doubt left some major scars about handing an ageing player a big-money contract, and it remains to be seen whether his recent good form is worthy of shelling out a lot of money for someone like Lacazette.

Instead, if Arsenal make the tough but arguably logical call in selling the Frenchman to try and receive at least some sort of fee for him, then it could allow them to pursue a move for Toney, who has been a revelation over the past couple of seasons.

His 26 goals for League One side Peterborough last season earned him a high-profile move to Brentford, where he’s just hit the ground running, bagging 16 times in just 22 Championship games.

He’s already proven he can take one step up and handle the pressure well, whilst at just 24, has got plenty of time to develop into a fine Premier League striker too.

Speaking earlier last year, Peterborough’s director of football, Barry Fry, said: “He’s turned into a tremendous all-round footballer. It’s important to remember Ivan is not just an exceptional goal-scoring forward, he’s also an outstanding defender.”

Toney himself has the confidence that he could be a top-flight striker, saying back in November: “I’ve always liked Zlatan. I just love his confidence. Some people see it as arrogance but you must be like that to succeed. I’m similar to Zlatan in both my confidence and the way I play. When he wants to do something, he just does it. I have some of that in my game and personality. And I believe I’ll be a Premier League striker.”

Given Toney is backing up his words on the pitch, then there’s no doubting that he has got that element of Ibrahimovic in him. Someone who might talk the talk, but can walk the walk too. If Arsenal are looking for a striker to come in if Lacazette leaves, then the Brentford ace could be the player to turn to.

Meanwhile, Arsenal must sell this young English talent…

For Leeds, their season has been a very inconsistent affair. Their opening two games saw a scoreline of 4-3 but entertainment has followed in its droves since then.

Marcelo Bielsa likes his team to play wonderful free-flowing football but that often leaves them open at the back.

You only need to look at their wretched run of form in 2021 so far. The Whites are yet to win, yet to score and have conceded seven times in three outings.

Considering how 2020 panned out for Leeds, the New Year has been in stark contrast. Though, there are still positives to be had.

One of which is the performances of Brazilian winger Raphinha. The attacker arrived in the summer for a fee of £17m but it’s hard to suggest many supporters knew anything about him.

He’d played just one season in Europe’s top five leagues but on the contrary, was a player that Victor Orta had been tracking for a while. In fact, the Spaniard was watching Raphinha when he was still playing in Portugal.

The 23-year-old learnt his trade at Vitoria Guimaraes and then Sporting Lisbon, before moving to Rennes in France. His impressive and consistent displays subsequently earned him a move to the Premier League.

Since signing, he has been nothing but superb. Although he’s contributed to just four goals in the top-flight so far, his dazzling dribbling skills leave plenty of defenders face down in the turf. He is a wily character, a winger full of tricks, creativity and most importantly work rate.

An attacker player can have all the talent in the world but if he doesn’t put in the hard yards for a manager like Bielsa then they’re destined to fail under him. You only need to look at Jean-Kevin Augustin’s ill-fated spell in England for context there.

It’s a big achievement to work yourself into Bielsa’s good books this quickly but that’s exactly what Raphinha has done, racking up 1.5 dribbles per game – a team-high.

It takes plenty to impress the Leeds boss, but it also takes something to impress pundit Graeme Souness, someone who gave the youngster the seal of approval earlier this term. He said: “He’s a flair player but works his socks off. I think there’s a goal in him. There’s lots to like about him.”

Clinton Morrison echoed those thoughts in December, commenting: “He’s brought into it. He works hard. He tracks back. And he creates chances. But he’s just so lively. He doesn’t hug the touchline. What he does is that he comes in off the line and he makes it difficult for fullbacks to mark him. I think he has been an excitement for Leeds and long may it continue.”

That is the primary difference between a player like him and Helder Costa. The Portuguese has struggled for game time this season and doesn’t work nearly as hard as Raphinha does. That speaks volumes when you consider the latter has only been at Elland Road for a matter of months.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-this-weeks-latest-leeds-stories” title=”Read this week’s latest Leeds stories!”]

For evidence of how hard Raphinha works, you only need to assess the number of loose balls he has recovered. Per game, the Brazilian recovers 6.83 balls per game, that’s just 0.01 behind Jack Harrison.

A further litmus for his hard work is the amount of progressive ball carries the £60k-per-week earner makes per game compared to his teammates. Once more, he is ahead of Costa.

Raphinha carries the ball forward towards the penalty area on average 6.63 times per 90 minutes. Costa, by comparison, has only done so 4.4 times.

The canny winger may provide plenty in attack but ultimately, it’s his work rate that has made him such a genius piece of business from Orta. Given his potential, too, £17m is looking like a snip.

AND in other news, Leeds could find their new Roofe by signing £27k-p/w beast with a “love of scoring”…

Diego Cavalieri
Estava bem no jogo até errar no lance do primeiro gol, ao espalmar a cobrança de escanteio nos pés de Arão.

Wellington Silva
Se preocupou mais em brigar com Cuéllar do que jogar bola. Não foi o Wellington Silva de outras partidas.

4,0
Henrique
Ainda não justificou o alto investimento feito pela diretoria para contratá-lo. Falhou na marcação no gol de Guerrero.

Renato Chaves
Esteve um pouco melhor que o companheiro de zaga, mas sofreu com a movimentação de Marcelo Cirino.

Léo Pelé
Teve muito trabalho com os avanços de Marcelo Cirino e Rodinei pelo seu lado. Saiu no intervalo.

4,5
Pierre
Abusou das faltas e errou ao arrumar confusão com Cuéllar junto de Wellington Silva. Não foi bem.

5,5
Cícero
Deveria ter chamado mais a responsabilidade no meio-campo. Teve dificuldades para sair jogando.

5,0
Diego Souza
Brigou como sempre, mas nada que tentou deu certo. Sofreu com a marcação dura do meio-campo rubro-negro.

6,5
Gustavo Scarpa
Foi sacrificado no segundo tempo ao ser improvisado na lateral. Foi o mais lúcido do time e fez belo gol de falta.

4,0
Marcos Júnior

Douglas
O time melhorou com a sua entrada e passou a ganhar o meio-campo após a expulsão de Cuéllar.

6,0
Gerson
Deu mais força ofensiva ao time e ainda foi protagonista no lance que culminou na expulsão de Wallace.

5,5
Osvaldo
Também deu mais força ofensiva ao time. Entrou quando o Fluminense era melhor e ajudou na pressão final.

5,5

6,0
César Martins
Ganhou a maioria dos lances que disputou com o ataque adversário. Foi firme na marcação e teve atuação segura.

6,0
Jorge
Ficou mais preocupado em defender. Quando apoiou, foi uma boa alternativa para Mancuello tabelar.

4,0
Cuéllar
Vinha bem no jogo, ganhando a maioria dos lances no meio. Errou ao perder a paciência no lance da expulsão.

7,0
Willian Arão
Dos reforços para 2016, é quem mais tem se destacado. Chama a responsabilidade e fez o gol que abriu o placar.

6,0
Mancuello
Apareceu bem quando foi solicitado. Se destacou nas bolas paradas e ocupo bem os espaços no meio.

6,5
Marcelo Cirino
Muita velocidade pelo lado direito. Foi uma das principais opções de ataque e aproveitou os espaços que teve.

6,5
Emerson Sheik
Enquanto esteve em campo, correu muito e mostrou muita disposição. Cansou na reta final e foi substituído.

7,5
Guerrero
Fez aquilo que se espera dele. Segurou a bola no ataque, ganhou a disputa com os zagueiros e ainda deixou o seu.

5,0
Márcio Araújo
Entrou para ocupar o espaço deixado no meio-campo após a expulsão de Cuéllar. Fez o feijão com arroz.

5,5
Everton
Entrou no lugar de Sheik, que estava cansado, e se preocupou mais com a marcação.

رد مهاجم منتخب بولندا والفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي بايرن ميونخ، روبرت ليفاندوفسكي، على مطالبات جناح باريس سان جيرمان والفائز بجائزة الكرة الذهبية 2021، ليونيل ميسي، بحصوله على جائزة عام 2020 من قبل مجلة “فرانس فوتبول” الفرنسية.

وطالب ميسي من المجلة الشهيرة أن يحصل ليفاندوفسكي على جائزة عام 2020 والتي لم يحصل عليها بسبب إلغاء الحفل والتصويت في العام الماضي بسبب انتشار فيروس كورونا المستجد، كوفيد 19.

وعلق ليفاندوفسكي على ما قاله ميسي في تصريحات لقناة “Kanale Sportowym” البولندية، وقال: “لا أستطيع أن أنكر شعوري بالحزن، لا أستطيع أن أقول أنني كنت سعيدًا، على العكس من ذلك لدي شعور بالحزن، لأنني كنت قريبًا للغاية”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “كنت قريبًا جدًا وقاتلت من أجل المركز الأول مع لاعب كبير وعظيم مثل ليونيل ميسي، ثم تأتيك التعليقات بأنك من تستحق الجائزة”.

وأضاف: “أود أن يكون تصريحًا صادقًا من لاعب عظيم وليس مجرد تصريح أو بعض الكلمات”.

وتابع: “لكن علي أن أكون واضحًا، احترم كل الآراء ومن قاموا بالتصويت، خاصة بعد كل ما قدمه ميسي على مدار السنوات الماضية، والتنافس معه على القمة هو مؤشر مميز على ما وصلت له من مستوى”.

وأتم: “أقدر ذلك كثيرًا، يجعلني أشعر بالفخر، لكن بداخلي شعرت بالحزن لأنه لم يكن يومًا أو يومين بل أكثر من ذلك بكثير”.

After returning to winning ways in the Premier League last weekend, Aston Villa suffered a surprise defeat to Burnley at Turf Moor on Wednesday night.

Dean Smith’s side were in front twice against the Clarets, but a late comeback from the home team saw them walk away with all three points.

Amid all the disappointment, there was one man who the Villa boss and the club’s fans should take comfort in, Ollie Watkins.

The summer signing had gone through a wretched goal drought of around two months in the Premier League, until he broke that duck against Newcastle last time out.

And then on Wednesday, he proved that he seems to have found his goal-scoring touch with a superb near-post run and first-time finish into the back of the net.

It wasn’t just his goal that saw him stand out among a bunch of average performances however, with Watkins’ overall display something for Smith to find a silver lining in.

The £27m-rated ace won nine duels on the night – far above his season average of 7.2 – and really gave the Burnley centre-backs a handful with his physicality and movement off the ball.

The former Brentford ace also showed he’s got the quality to pick out his teammates with two key passes, with only Jack Grealish making more among his Villa teammates.

Writing for The Birmingham Mail, Ashley Preece said in his post-match player ratings: “Villa’s main man up front flicked home his eighth goal from 18 this season. Went close soon after when put through by McGinn’s classy pass.

“Occupied Tarkowski and Mee really well, while it was the former who came through the back of Watkins with what was a real nasty challenge that could have snapped Watkins’ Achilles. Worked hard once more as he completes another 90 minutes. Didn’t have much to go at in the second half as Burnley got their tails up. Another goal will be welcome, though.”

Now that the “top-class” Watkins is back in form, Villa will be confident of maintaining their push for an impressive European place over the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, this Aston Villa ace let Dean Smith down against Burnley…

اعترف مهاجم الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي باريس سان جيرمان، كيليان مبابي، بأن الأموال لا تهمه كثيرًا في حياته أكثر من العلاقات الإنسانية.

ربما يكون هذا تلميح حول مستقبله مع باريس سان جيرمان الذي يتمتع بقوة مالية كبيرة من خلال الملاك القطريين الذي قاموا بشراء النادي الفرنسي منذ عام 2011.

ينتهي عقد مبابي مع باريس سان جيرمان في يونيو 2022، ولا يرغب الفرنسي في التمديد مع وجود اهتمام قوي من طرف ريال مدريد الذي كان يريد حسم الصفقة في نهاية الميركاتو الصيفي الماضي مقابل 180 مليون يورو ولكن تم رفضه من، ناصر الخليفي.

وأجرى مبابي حوارًا مع مجلة “Paris Match” الفرنسية، وقال: “العلاقات الإنسانية أكثر روعة من المال، إنها تجربة الحياة التي تهم أكثر من كسب المال، حتى لو كان ذلك مهمًا لأن لدينا عائلات ندعمها”.

وأضاف: “أتطلع دائمًا لاكتشاف لاعبين من ثقافات مختلفة والسفر والالتقاء بهم، هذا هو جزء من جمال الرياضة، الانغماس في نفسك والتفكير بعمق فهذا ما يغير خططك ومن المستحيل التنبؤ بما سأفعله في العشرين سنة القادمة”.

وعن باريس سان جيرمان ومدى تطوره في السنوات الماضية: “لقد بذلت الإدارة جهودًا كبيرة لمحاولة تحسين الفريق على مر السنين، نحتاج فقط إلى تحسين بعض الأشياء من أجل الفوز بكل البطولات، في كرة القدم، هناك جزء كبير يعتمد على الحظ ولكن عليك أن تستفزه وربما لم نقم بذلك بشكل كافٍ”.

وتابع: “لدينا نجوم كثيرة في الفريق والنتائج جيدة، فزنا بالألقاب على مدار السنوات الماضية، وإذا لم تكن النجم الوحيد عليك أن تقبل ببعض التنازلات ولا أرى أن ذلك سيء”.

وعلاقته مع بنزيما: “عندما نكون أصدقاء هذا ما يجعلنا نتأقلم بشكل أفضل على أسلوب لعب كلًا منا داخل الملعب، كلانا يريد أن يتألق ومساعدة بعضنا البعض من أجل تسجيل الأهداف وبالفعل نجحنا”.

وعن بدايته في كرة القدم: “كانت صعبة بعض الشيء، خاصة عندما يخبروك بأنك جوهرة في كرة القدم، لحسن الحظ، لم يخبرني والدي بالمبالغ الكبيرة التي قُدمت من أجلي، لأن كيف يمكنك تعليم شاب يبلغ من العمر 14 عامًا بعد أن أخبرته أنه يساوي ملايين اليورو؟”.

وأتم: “لا يعارضون قراراتي أبدًا ولم يفرضوا على أي شيء، ولا حتى عندما كنت قاصرًا، لقد أكدوا لي أن هذه كانت أفضل طريقة يتعاملون بها معي، لأنه في حالة حدوث خطأ أو قرار سيء، لن ألومهم”.

Liverpool earned successive 3-1 away wins in the capital as they triumphed against West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

A brace from Mohamed Salah and a goal from Georginio Wijnaldum were enough to seal the win before Craig Dawson’s late consolation earned a touch of credibility for David Moyes’ side.

Whilst Salah will rightly get a lot of credit for his two world-class goals in the second half, it was perhaps Jordan Henderson’s performance that will delight Klopp the most, as he produced another solid display in an unfamiliar position.

As per SofaScore, the Liverpool captain would earn a strong 7.0 rating for his display, with only Wijnaldum, Xherdan Shaqiri, Thiago and Salah rated higher.

The 31-year-old was featuring as a centre-back once again on Sunday, following the injuries to Joel Matip and Fabinho earlier in the week, but he showed that he can be relied upon when needed.

During the game, Henderson would contest four duels with West Ham players. He would win all of them.

This is even more impressive when you consider the physical nature of Moyes’ side, which boasts the likes of Tomas Soucek, Dawson and Michail Antonio, to name just a few.

The 30-year-old would enjoy 95 touches of the ball against West Ham, which was 55 more than Hammers centre-back Angelo Ogbonna, whilst 80/89 of his passes would find a Liverpool shirt, resulting in a solid 90% pass accuracy – more than his season average of 87.2%.

Despite playing at the back, Henderson was still able to showcase his passing ability, as he contributed one key pass, which was more than both of West Ham’s central midfielders and more than his average of 0.6 in the Premier League so far this season.

Last year, Klopp was full of praise for his captain, saying:

“He is exceptional; he is outstanding.”

Therefore, whilst Salah was the hero for Liverpool with his brace, Henderson’s near-perfect display against an in-form West Ham side means that he should earn a lot of plaudits too.
