As football fans and lovers across the world continue to reflect on the outcome of the just concluded transfer window, especially based on the numbers of buys their favourite clubs made during the transfer window, we have continued to track some more important football news.
Well, we are in a week for the international break, during which most of your favourite players are expected to go home and represent their respective countries. But it still doesn’t stop other activities at the club.
RAHEEM STERLING:
First on our radar this night is the story concerning Arsenal’s new boy Raheem Sterling who made a shocking move to the North London outfit towards the deadline day.
Meanwhile he has settled for the jersey number thirty (30) in his new club, as he aim to help Arsenal secure trophies, especially the Premier League and Champions League trophies which has eluded the club for many years.
He’s not called up by the England national team, as such, he has remained behind to prepare himself better ahead of the new task ahead.
COLE PALMER:
The talent Chelsea forward who was called up to the England team for the first international break of the new season has actually withdrawn from the team.
His club confirmed the story as Palmer, who is a wonder kid will have to spend the international break at Cobham, with some of his colleagues who were not called up by their respective countries.
MALO Arthur GUSTO:
Also, another Chelsea player Malo Gusto has withdrawn from his international duty with his country.
He left the France Under-21 squad because of a thigh injury, according to his club.
On the other hand, Gusto is a french professional footballer who plays as a right back, both for Chelsea and France. So as expected, he’s to compete with England international, Recce James for the position
KEVIN DE BRUYNE:
The Belgium and Manchester City playmaker is currently on international duty with his country, but his contract has remained a subject of speculation, with rumours speculating he will head to Saudi Arabia once his current contract expires in June 2025.
Well, according to the player while speaking about his soon to expire contract, he said, “once the season goes on, I’m sure there will be talks“.
“I just want to feel good, play good football and this will come in the upcoming months. I don’t really feel the rush for the moment“.
Then on his rumoured interest in moving to Saudi Arabia, he said he is yet to speak to anyone about that, as he is only hearing it in the news just like everyone else.
In his words, “I haven’t spoken to anyone. There’s been a lot of noises and news“.
“I said in the summer I expect a quiet summer and that’s what happened. I’ve been on holiday, came back, started training. That’s it. Nothing else“.
ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI:
The Poland hitman has been hailed by the President of Barcelona FC for his good heart towards the club.
According to club President, Laporta, “Lewandowski, I’ve a special mention for him. He is a player committed to the club…
“When he heard that we had to make some efforts to reach the Fair Play to register players, he told us he could lower his contract in order to help the club“.
Frankly only a hand full of players at his level will be this considerate. He really deserves all the kind words from his club President.
MAURICE POCHETTINO:
The former Chelsea and Spurs manager is set to become the next coach for the USA men’s national football team.
He is expected to put pen to paper within this current week. The verbal agreement was done weeks ago, so the paper works are expected to be finalized in few days to come.
