West Brom boss Slaven Bilic will be pleased with his decision-making after Kenneth Zohore opened his Baggies account with a late equaliser after coming on as a second-half substitute.

The 25-year-old was introduced for fellow summer arrival Charlie Austin in the 76th minute before he confidently stepped up to slot home a penalty with just two minutes to go in the match.

Young Liverpool starlet Ovie Ejaria had opened the scoring for the visitors five minutes before Bilic brought Zohore into the action.

After three Championship starts without a goal, the striker found himself on the bench but his late heroics meant West Brom’s unbeaten start to the season continued on.

A number of fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on his performance.

One supporter thought it was all starting to come together as the 6 foot 2 forward troubled defenders with his running which changed the game in the Baggies’ favour.

That was echoed by another member of the Hawthorns crowd who claimed that Zohore did more in five minutes than Austin had managed all game.

The former Denmark U21 international joined the club in the summer from Championship rivals Cardiff City for £8m and has a pretty reasonable goalscoring record in England’s second tier.

Across both 2016/17 and 2017/18, Zohore netted 21 goals in 65 appearances.

Here’s the best of the reaction:

According to Foot Mercato, Arsenal were put off from making a move for West Ham centre-back Issa Diop, after discovering the Hammers’ reported £65m valuation.

What’s the word?

Unai Emery’s side conceded 51 goals in the Premier League last season, giving them the second-worst defensive record in the top six. The Gunners have also been rocked by the actions of club captain Laurent Koscielny, whilst the future of fellow centre-back Shkodran Mustafi remains uncertain.

The report claims that the north London side turned to Diop in the hope of opening talks for the Frenchman, but ended their interest after hearing his price.

The right decision

Whilst the Gunners’ reported £40m budget has seemingly proven to be inaccurate this summer, the north London side still don’t boast the kind of financial power of a Manchester City or Liverpool. Emery’s search for a new commanding central defender is understandable given their defensive struggles in recent campaigns, but the Gunners appear to have other priorities first; namely a winger and left-back.

Parting with around £65m for Diop would not have made the most business sense, particularly when you look at some of the other transfer deals for defenders this summer. Matthijs de Ligt signed for Juventus earlier this transfer window for just £2.5m more than what the Hammers seemingly want for their 22-year-old.

As Arsenal have already seen with their loan swoop for Dani Ceballos, there are bargains to be had. It’s just about filtering through the bad ones to get to the good, and spending £65m on Diop simply wouldn’t have been that.

كافاني اشتهر بهذا الاحتفال مع نابولي، وباريس سان جيرمان، وكذلك منتخب أوروجواي، وأيضًا في الوقت الراهن مع اليونايتد.

وقال كافاني في تصريحات نقتلها شبكة “مانشستر إيفينينج نيوز” البريطانية: “إنها قصة طويلة نوعًا ما وهي تتعلق بتاريخ بلدي والسكان الأصليين في أوروجواي”.

وأضاف: “عندما ولدت ابنتي الصغيرة (إنديا)، اسمها هو مجرد إشارة صغيرة إلى مواطنينا الأوروجوايانيين (تشاروا)”.

Tottenham Hotspur are considering a move for PSG attacking midfielder Julian Draxler this summer amid uncertainty over Christian Eriksen’s future, per L’Equipe.

The French club are looking to raise funds in order to comply with financial fair play regulations.

And there is a claim that Draxler could move for €40m in the coming month, with Spurs making early enquiries as to a move. His contract does not expire until 2021 and he made a total of 46 appearances in all competitions in 2018/19, scoring five goals and providing 12 assists.

Eriksen, of course, has expressed his desire to leave Spurs this summer and potentially make a “step up” with a transfer.

He has been heavily linked with Real Madrid in recent months and it appears inevitable that he will depart the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the first game of the 2019/20 season.

But would Draxler, who won the World Cup with Germany in 2014, be an adequate replacement for Mauricio Pochettino’s men?

Football FanCast’s writers give their verdicts below!

Jack Saville

“Draxler could be a valuable asset at Tottenham but he’s far from an adequate replacement for Eriksen. The Dane is integral to Pochettino’s system and Draxler doesn’t possess the level of creative responsibility to become the beating heart of the north London side’s midfield. Daniel Levy needs to aim higher in his search for Eriksen’s replacement as nothing less than world class will suffice.”

Billy Meyers

“For all the early potential he showed, Draxler has never made shockwaves at PSG due to a crippling lack of consistency. For all the stick he gets from Spurs fans, Eriksen is actually fairly consistent and has recorded some excellent numbers over the years. Draxler, in that respect, wouldn’t be a good replacement for what is a key player for the Lilywhites. A nice squad option, definitely, but not up to the standard of Eriksen.”

Matt Dawson

“Draxler is a phenomenal player on his day but you have to argue whether he has the consistency to replace someone as good as Eriksen. However, providing the price is right then he’d be a brilliant addition to this Spurs side. After reaching the Champions League final you feel as though they need some proven European talent to add to the exceptional homegrown players already at the club. Draxler, therefore, would be a solid acquisition.”

According to Goal.com, Liverpool would not be against selling Xherdan Shaqiri this summer if a suitable bid arrived for the Switzerland international.

It remains to be seen how busy the Reds are in this transfer window.

All things considered, it has been a very good campaign for the Merseyside giants.

And it could get even better as they prepare to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final at the start of next month.

According to Goal.com, in order to fund other moves this summer, Shaqiri could be sold.

However, it would be fair to say that the Liverpool supporters are against the versatile attacker leaving Anfield ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.

Has Alisson been Liverpool’s most important signing of the season? Check out the video below to find out why Jurgen Klopp thinks so…

Shaqiri has not exactly set the world alight since arriving from Stoke City.

However, he has contributed six goals and five assists this season and is certainly a decent option off the bench.

Celtic wanted to sign John McGinn to Parkhead during last summer’s transfer window, but after a number of rejected bids he ended up joining Aston Villa in a £2.75m deal instead.

The 24-year-old has quickly become a key player for the Championship outfit and helped them reach the play-off final with an impressive display against West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday night – something that didn’t go unnoticed by Bhoys supporters on Twitter.

Being a fan of the Glasgow giants, it seemed almost nailed on that he was going to make the move from Edinburgh to the Scottish Premiership champions in August, but it never materialised as Celtic failed with offers before the player opted for a move to England.

While it has been another successful campaign for the club which could end with a treble-treble by the end of the month, it hasn’t been forgotten how they effectively missed out on McGinn.

Celtic fans were quick to have their say on the Scotland international’s latest performance via social media, and it’s fair to say that they still can’t believe he isn’t lining up for the Hoops this term.

While one labelled it as a “howling decision”, another said “Celtic really missed a trick by not signing John McGinn”.

As reported by Goal, Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil has revealed that he intends to stay put at the Emirates this summer despite enduring a difficult campaign under boss Unai Emery.

At times, the German has been left on the bench, or even excluded from the matchday squad entirely for ‘tactical reasons’, which is strange seeing as he is one of the Gunners’ better players.

To make that situation worse, the 30-year-old is the club’s current highest earner on £350,000-a-week; the largest salary in Arsenal’s history.

One point separated City and Liverpool but twenty-five separated them from the rest! Fans discuss who could reduce the deficit next season in the video below?

Ozil started just 20 of Arsenal’s 38 Premier League games, and managed to muster up a measly five goals and two assists – Tottenham’s second choice right-back Kyle Walker-Peters set up more goals in just one game.

So, what are the potential consequences of Ozil staying in north London? Football FanCast takes a look…

Resources wasted

Arsenal are already struggling to muster up funds for this summer’s window, and will have a measly £40m to spend if they don’t win the Europa League final.

Ozil will cost the club a whopping £13,650,000 if they keep him on for the entirety of the 2019/20 campaign, money that could be added to this summer’s budget and be used to lure top-class players to the club on decent salaries; that would be better than giving it to Ozil, a man not even guaranteed a first-team place, right?

Emery loses power battle

Much has been made of Emery and Ozil’s relationship this season.

The Sun have reported that the Spaniard wants Ozil gone, although the German is very happy in London on such a comfortable salary.

Ozil was also seen throwing his coat towards Emery from the bench in Arsenal’s 1-0 loss to Everton; if the former PSG man keeps Ozil on, then he will be undermining himself and not asserting his authority.

His value could drop even more

Arsenal paid £42.4m for the former Real Madrid man when they signed him back in 2013, but they wouldn’t get anything near that for him right now.

His value has plummeted due to, as aforesaid, his lack of game time and poor stats from this term.

If Arsenal keep him on and Emery continues to leave him out, and his form suffers as a consequence, then Arsenal will struggle to sell their No.10 for more than the already reduced fee they could get for him this summer.

Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to criticise Granit Xhaka after the 1-1 draw against Brighton.

The score-draw practically ends Arsenal’s hopes of finishing in the top four, as they will need to win their last fixture and hope Tottenham lose, whilst there will also need to be an eight-goal swing in terms of goal difference.

One fan is happy (but very confused) after Wolves beat Arsenal in the video below…

Almost all of the Arsenal team were well below par, but the 6 foot midfielder, who gave away the penalty for Glenn Murray’s equaliser, was especially poor and received the bulk of the supporters’ anger after full-time.

It has been a seismic collapse from Unai Emery’s men at this late stage of the season. The Gunners faced four fixtures against Crystal Palace, Wolves, Leicester and Brighton, and only managed to pick up a single point – given how their top-four rivals have also performed, even just a few wins would’ve put them in a commanding position.

Despite the entire teams struggling on the day, let’s see what the Arsenal supporters have been saying about the Swiss international Xhaka…

West Ham have placed a £70million valuation on midfielder Declan Rice, per Football Insider.

The England international has impressed this season, drawing admiring glances from across the Premier League.

What’s the word?

Rice, per the aforementioned report, has been linked with the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City this season after a series of impressive displays.

Indeed, Rice has become a key man under Manuel Pellegrini and has made 33 appearances in all competitions.

His performances were recognised by Gareth Southgate, who called Rice into his England squad for Euro 2020 qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Montenegro earlier this month after the 20-year-old had switched allegiance from the Republic of Ireland.

Football Insider report that the Hammers are keen to keep Rice and build a team around him, having been so struck by his displays since his breakthrough.

But there is also a claim that they would accept a bid worth £70m or in excess of it. Rice signed a new contract earlier this season and is currently tied to West Ham until 2024.

Selling themselves short

The Irons are selling themselves short if this report is true.

A figure of £70m two or three years ago would have been earth-shattering but, now, there will be very few eyebrows raised.

Rice has emerged as a genuine talent this season and, if he were to leave, West Ham would need to replace him immediately.

£70m might seem like a lot of money but in today’s market, that might only get you two proven Premier League players. In many ways, it’s quite a naive estimate of Rice’s worth and potential, especially with so many clubs courting his services and so many years left on his contract.

Rice is already an elite midfield talent and would improve any club he moved to, including City; West Ham should up his asking price to properly reflect that fact.
