Aston Villa are after two intriguing RW prospects on the transfer market

Aston Villa, as of late, have been a team that has a lot going for them in a collective sense. The club has smartly worked out many signings in the last few years that few people would've understood at first, but then they'd get so much out of them. It's not limited to just signing exciting players. Aston Villa have signed and revived some players who may or may not have had a future in top-level football if it wasn't for them - Ross Barkley rings a bell. Be that as it may, they are also on the lookout for young talent, and, right now, they are reportedly interested in some wingers. According to Graeme Bailey, Aston Villa have been monitoring FC Midtjylland winger Dario Osorio, while Atenção, Vascaínos claim they are interested in Rayan from Vasco de Gama. Rayan has attracted a...

Unai Emery highlights the Aston Villa star who could become world-class this season

Aston Villa have become one of the best and most exciting teams in Europe ever since Spanish manager Unai Emery took the job. They have signed young, talented players that have massively helped them qualify for the UEFA Champions League. He has developed so many good players and won on so many difficult grounds, it is hard to call this anything less than a success job. However, it is not just on the sporting forefront where Emery has been doing such a fabulous job. One of the most important things Emery has done is build concrete interpersonal connections with his own players, which he has tried to do at every club he has been a part of. So many players at Villa have upped their game ever since the Spanish coach took over, and it is not surprising when he says so many good things abo...

Liverpool scouting a young forward on the verge of a breakout into superstardom

Liverpool are always on the lookout for new forwards to bolster their attack for the present and future, as we've seen an attacker being signed more often than not in the last few years. Most recently, Liverpool have signed Federico Chiesa from Juventus on a bargain - just 12.5 million pounds for a player who clearly has a lot of potential, even though he has been riddled with injuries in the last few years, is a good deal. Worst case scenario, it brings them a good squad player for the foreseeable future. But now, the Reds have been looking at yet another winger. According to The Sunday Mirror and BILD, Liverpool are interested in Jamie Gittens, and have sent scouts over to Germany to watch him play. Gittens is a creative hub with a lot of technical quality with the ball, and any...

Liverpool pushing to sign underrated LB ahead of Real Madrid

Liverpool are 'strongly interested' in signing Benfica left-back Álvaro Carreras, according to a report from O Jogo. The Reds haven't made that many signings in recent months, but it feels like a move for Carreras could change that as they are pushing to sign him, especially after his performance in Benfica's stunning (and satisfying) 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid in early October. Carreras was one of their best players, and it has left an impression on many top clubs across Europe. The report says that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United are also among those interested in signing the highly-rated full-back who has taken Portuguese football by storm in the last couple of months - playing the most outfield minutes out of everyone in the current Benfica squad - and it seems lik...

Real Madrid reignite interest in an old dream transfer target

Real Madrid have been on a bit of a streak recently, showing interest and working in silence for so many good deals in the market, slowly addressing every single need on their already incredible roster. We obviously have Kylian Mbappe's imminent transfer to Real Madrid, which addresses the goalscorer's need. They've been working on Alphonso Davies, which is also an important position that needs reinforcement. They have established concrete interest in Leny Yoro, one of the best young centre-backs in the game. Now, they are set to reignite interest in a player they used to be very interested in. First reported by Matteo Moretto of Relevo, then by Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid have an interest in signing Trent Alexander-Arnold. No talks have been held yet, but they're said to be j...

Real Madrid won’t have one of their most important players back vs. Man City

Real Madrid have a couple of really enticing and crucial games coming up against Manchester City in the Champions League in April. They've had their fair share of injuries this season -- a lot of them, actually -- particularly in the defense. Real Madrid have been forced to play Aurelien Tchouameni as a centre-back for many games this season, with even Dani Carvajal contributing as a central defender on a few occasions. Injuries to Eder Militao and David Alaba have caused an injury crisis. The good thing is that Militao is finally close to a return to first-team action. He has been training with the team, and a return looks on the horizon for the talented Brazillian centre-back. However, expecting him to play against Manchester City in the first leg would be a bit too premature, a...
