Wolves have been pretty busy during the previous summer and winter transfer windows with players leaving the club and new ones coming in.

Looking ahead to the upcoming summer window, it seems as though this could once again be the case for the Old Gold in their latest attempt at strengthening their squad.

What’s the news?

According to a recent report from journalist David Ornstein in The Athletic, Wolves are eyeing Sporting Lisbon midfielder Matheus Nunes as a potential replacement for Joao Moutinho, whose £100k-per-week contract at Molineux is set to expire in the summer.

In 125 combined appearances for Sporting’s senior and U23 sides, the midfielder has scored nine goals and provided 11 assists along the way.

Moutinho heir at Wolves

This current campaign has seen the Brazilian-born midfielder make 28 league appearances for his club and even have his first taste of Champions League football with six appearances to his name.

To highlight how much of a well-rounded midfield option he is for his side, the 23-year-old has racked up a total of 23 tackles, 26 interceptions and 23 crosses in the Portuguese league this season, putting him in the top ten for each statistic in Sporting’s squad.

His overall performances have earned the Portuguese international a season rating of 7.08 from WhoScored, making him Sporting’s sixth-highest rated player for this campaign.

This rating would make him the highest-rated Wolves player by the same metric, showing what an impressive player the £27m-rated gem is at a fairly young age.

Labelled as an “unbelievable” player by Goncalo Santos as well as being “one of the best players in the world today” according to Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, Nunes certainly has a lot of hype around him, which could make him an exciting recruit for Bruno Lage’s side.

With Wolves’ track record of signing players from Portuguese clubs, Nunes, who has a better technical rating than Moutinho at this stage of his career according to SofaScore, could be an ideal long-term figure for the Midlands club and follow in the footsteps of the other players that have joined the Old Gold from Portugal such as Ruben Neves, Fabio Silva and Chiquinho among others.

Rangers haven’t agreed an option to buy Aaron Ramsey at the end of his loan spell from Juventus, according to The Athletic’s Jordan Campbell says. 

The lowdown

The Gers managed to pull off what Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie called an ‘extraordinary signing’ on the final day of the January transfer window, bringing in the Wales midfielder until the end of the season.

He became their fourth addition of the month, joining centre-back James Sands, right winger Amad Diallo and right-back Mateusz Zukowski.

The 31-year-old has 16 months left on his Juventus contract and is presently valued at £4.5m by Transfermarkt.

The latest

In the comments of an article Campbell wrote for The Athletic on Rangers’ deadline day swoop for Ramsey, he was asked whether the loan agreement included a potential permanent option.

The journalist succinctly replied: “No option I’m told. Wages would be prohibitive.”

The verdict

Rangers have managed to agree a wage split with Juventus which, according to Ross Wilson, preserves their existing structure, but it appears that they would be unable to foot the entirety of the Welshman’s salary in the long-term.

That’s no surprise considering that Ramsey is thought to be on £400,000 per week at Juventus, while the Gers’ top-earner at present is reportedly £33,000-per-week Alfredo Morelos.

The signing has had many figures connected to Rangers buzzing with glee, with Ally McCoist telling talkSPORT that he’s ‘really excited’ and declaring it the club’s biggest deal for more than 25 years.

However, it looks as if Ramsey’s stay will be fleeting, unless he agrees to an enormous wage reduction to remain at Ibrox beyond the summer.

In other news, many Gers fans were buzzing over this deadline day transfer update

Gianluca Di Marzio has now dropped some exciting Glasgow Rangers transfer news on Aaron Ramsey.

The Lowdown: Not playing

Ramsey is simply not playing enough games at Juventus, with only five appearances in total for the Old Lady across all competitions so far this term.

Thus, given his whopping £400,000-per-week wages, Juve will probably want to offload him before the deadline, especially as they spent a lot of money to bring in Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina.

The Latest: Agreement sought

As per Italian football journalist and transfer expert Di Marzio, an ‘agreement is sought’ between Juve and the Ibrox faithful, with talks ‘in progress’ between the two clubs:

“#Juventus, negotiation in progress with @RangersFC: an agreement is sought for #Ramsey.

“But the @BurnleyOfficial resists.”

The Verdict: Exciting

To get a player of Ramsey’s calibre through the door would certainly be exciting for all Teddy Bears fans.

Of course, he is a big name, having played in the Premier League with Arsenal, while he has over 70 senior caps for Wales.

His wages will be a big issue though, and the Light Blues will have to negotiate very well to get that number down.

He also has a history of injury problems, which the Gers will hope that he can overcome.

Nonetheless, what a statement signing he would be for RFC, having already captured the loan signing of Amad Diallo from Manchester United.

يعترف كيفين دي بروين بأنه يأمل أن يستمر آرسنال في سباق اللقب هذا الموسم، طالما أن مانشستر سيتي يتصدر جدول الدوري الإنجليزي.

بعد الربع الأول من الموسم، يجلس آرسنال على قمة جدول الدوري الإنجليزي، بفارق نقطة واحدة عن مانشستر سيتي حامل اللقب.

يواجه آرسنال فريق ليدز يونايتد يوم الأحد ويمكن أن يضغط على دي بروين وشركاه، الذين يواجهون ليفربول في الأنفيلد في وقت لاحق من اليوم.

وعندما سُئل عما إذا كان متفاجئًا من بداية آرسنال الرائعة للموسم، قال لشبكة “سكاي سبورتس” العالمية: “لا، ليس حقًا، أعتقد أنني أرى الكثير من أوجه التشابه مع الطريقة التي نلعب بها، لكن هذا كان دائمًا أسلوبه (أرتيتا)”.

وأضاف: “لقد رأيت تطورًا منذ بداية أرتيتا حتى ثلاث سنوات بعد ذلك عندما غادر، في البداية كان يتأقلم، ولكن بعد ذلك بدأ دوره أكثر فأكثر”.

وواصل: “لقد رأينا أيضًا أن لديه الكثير من الطموح، فعندما تأتي الفرصة، سينتهزها، أنا سعيد من أجله لأنه يسير على ما يرام، من الواضح أنك تريد أن يقوم الناس بعمل جيد”.

بعد الإلحاح على ما إذا كان ينظر إلى آرسنل حقًا كمنافس على اللقب، أضاف دي بروين: “إنهم كذلك! إنهم يلعبون كرة قدم جيدة حقًا، أنا سعيد حقًا برؤية الطريقة التي يتقدمون بها، آمل ألا يكونوا جيدين بما فيه الكفاية بالنسبة لنا”.

A big claim has been made regarding Newcastle United’s plans to make crucial behind-the-scenes appointments…

What’s the talk?

Daily Mail journalist Craig Hope has claimed that the club are expecting a wealth of options to emerge as candidates to take over as CEO at St James’ Park. The Magpies will look to make an appointment in that position before moving on to the director of football.

He tweeted: “Word from NUFC last week was that CEO will probably come before DoF. They’re expecting to be inundated with applications for CEO position. DoF they are working through their targets, Michael Emenalo being one.”

Fans will be delighted

Newcastle fans will surely be delighted with this big claim from Hope regarding the CEO role. The club’s belief that they will be ‘inundated’ with candidates will leave fans buzzing as it suggests that they could bring in a quality operator to run proceedings and make big decisions.

From pure mathematics, the Magpies are more likely to find a brilliant option to take the job if they are brimming with candidates in comparison to if they had minimal interest in the role. Therefore, supporters may take solace in the fact that they are expecting a plethora of names to be in the mix, as it could lead to a successful appointment further down the line.

This is a crucial decision as that person would then be making huge decisions for the club on a daily basis, and fans will surely want the best possible candidate for the job. This could include a call on who the new director of football will be, which could be a gigantic move by the club, given that the successful candidate will be in control of football operations on Tyneside.

We previously published an article explaining why Michael Emenalo could be a good choice. However, it could come down to whoever the new CEO prefers, and that is why the initial appointment of one is massive for PIF as it could then impact where they go from a footballing perspective.

This is why Magpies fans will surely be delighted to read that they are preparing for a vast array of candidates to apply for the job, as it could give Amanda Staveley a great problem to deal with – picking the best one to lead Newcastle forward.

The Athletic’s Rangers correspondent Jordan Campbell pulled no punches in his assessment of Alfredo Morelos’ performance against Hibernian on Sunday. 

The lowdown

Rangers went down 3-1 against the Edinburgh outfit in the Scottish League Cup semi-final at Hampden Park, with Scott Arfield’s goal failing to ignite a comeback after a Martin Boyle hat-trick.

It might have been different had Morelos levelled with a chance shortly after Boyle’s opener, but BBC Scotland’s Nick McPheat described his finish as tame.

Campbell is not alone in his sharp criticism of the striker’s display, with Football Scotland’s Calum Woodger rating it a mere three out of 10 and dubbing it ‘abysmal’, writing that the 25-year-old ‘disappeared in a big game once again’.

Morelos has scored seven goals in 21 appearances this season, but has already fired blanks against the likes of Lyon, Celtic and Hearts.

The latest

Addressing supporters in The Athletic’s matchday discussion, Campbell wrote that Morelos had ‘maybe his worst-ever game for Rangers’.

He also appeared to question the Colombian’s attitude, adding that ‘his body language was not good either’.

The verdict

Considering that Morelos has now played 203 times for Rangers since he arrived at the club back in 2017, that’s quite some declaration from Campbell.

The Colombian averaged just shy of a goal every two matches across his Ibrox career, but this season he has slipped to one goal in three games on average.

Questions can reasonably be asked of his commitment given that, in September, he publicly stated that he hoped he would soon be given the opportunity to leave Glasgow. He also knows that his contract is up at the end of next season, potentially putting Rangers under pressure to cash in in the summer.

Morelos is a proven player, but many more performances like Sunday’s could make it easier for the Gers to move him on if a decent bid comes in for him.

The ICC says it has reviewed and enhanced the security apparatus at the grounds hosting the Champions Trophy following the pitch invasion at the conclusion of the India-Pakistan match on Saturday. It also said any such acts in the future would lead to arrests and prosecution.”A number of arrests were made and those people have been prosecuted,” anICC spokesperson told the Hindustan Times. “Any spectator who invades the pitch can expect to be arrested, prosecuted and if found guilty, fined under current South African legislation.”After the final wicket fell, Pakistani fans crossed the advertising board separating the ground from the stands to celebrate the win before the last few were tackled by security guards. South African grounds allow spectators relatively easy access to the playing area, with an advertising board typically presenting the only hurdle.
