Both teams to score at Scotland vs Israel 10/11 for Thursday’s EURO 2021 qualifying showdown

Arsenal are interested in signing Callum Hudson-Odoi from London and Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer of 2023, according to . The report has claimed that the Gunners are monitoring Hudson-Odoi, who is on loan at German club Bayer Levekusen at the moment.

Hudson-Odoi moved on loan to Bundesliga outfit Bayer from former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea in the summer of 2022. The 22-year-old winger is scheduled to return to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.

So far this season, Hudson-Odoi has made six starts and  five substitute appearances in the Bundesliga, providing one assist in the process. The winger has scored one goal in six UEFA Champions League games so far this campaign.

Bayer are ninth in the Bundesliga table …

Under the command of a newly appointed Premier League-winning manager in Claudio Ranieri, Watford hosted Liverpool at the Vicarage on Saturday lunchtime, and suffered a battering that was probably hard to endure for the onlookers on the stands.

Sadio Mane latched onto a beautiful pass from Mohamed Salah in the ninth minute and opened the scoring. Assisted by James Milner, Roberto Fimino found himself in the right time and place to add the second goal in the 37th, and made use of a lucky rebound in the 52nd for the third. Salah produced another piece of magic just two minutes later, and Firmino completed his hat-trick to set the final score at 0-5 in injury time.

Rampant Liverpool

Liverpool have obviously taken the challenge of proving their doubters wrong very seriousl…

Vinicius Junior has revealed Barcelona were interested in signing him but he opted to join bitter foes Real Madrid after being given just two days to make a decision.

The Brazil international officially arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu in July 2018, a year after Madrid agreed a reported £38.7million deal with Flamengo.

He has yet to hit double figures for the club in terms of goals but was on target in March s huge 2-0 win over LaLiga title rivals Barcelona.

However, things could have been a lot different for Vinicius as the winger was offered the chance to join Barca in 2017.

I had proposals from Barca and Madrid and only had two days to choose, he said in Real Madrid TV documentary Campo de Estrellas .

Si, Es hoy! De lejos y de cerca ¡HALAMAD…

Manchester United ended a run of four straight defeats in all competitions as they drew 0-0 with Chelsea on Monday, alleviating a small amount of pressure on Louis van Gaal.

The United boss had urged his team to be brave for the visit of the champions and they began firmly on the front foot, with both Juan Mata and Anthony Martial striking the woodwork in the first half.

David de Gea made fine saves from John Terry and Pedro but the home side were in control for the majority of the opening hour against a Chelsea team lacking any real punch in attack without the suspended Diego Costa or the injured Loic Remy.

The game was more balanced in the second half, with Nemanja Matic wasting a glorious chance for Chelsea shortly after Ander Herrera almost broke the deadlock…

Sergio Aguero has provided a glowing endorsement for Argentina compatriot Julian Alvarez after his move to Manchester City.

That is the message from former City and England defender Joleon Lescott, who expects Alvarez to become a key figure for Pep Guardiola s side in the Premier League in the coming years.

Alvarez signed a five-and-a-half-year deal with the Premier League champions from River Plate in a deal worth a reported £14million ($18.8m) back in January, before being loaned back to his former side.

The 22-year-old initially caught City s eye after 20 goals and 12 assists in 35 games in the Argentine Primera Division last year, with those 32 direct goal involvements at least six more than any other player in 2021.

He added another 11 goal…

According to Fabrizio Romano, Paris Saint-Germain and Georginio Wijnaldum have agreed to part ways this summer, with the club willing to sanction a loan for the 31-year-old midfielder. Both parties are now working on identifying potential destinations.

AS Roma are said to be strongly interested with head coach Jose Mourinho obviously familiar with Wijnaldum from their time in the Premier League, even though they ve never actually worked together.

The 86-cap Dutch international joined PSG in 2021 after five years at Liverpool, where he was one of the main pieces of Jurgen Klopp s revolution. In all competitions, he made a total of 237 appearances for the Merseysiders as Klopp reinvented him in a deeper role than the one he previously played at PSV Eindhoven and Newcastle…

Matias Suarez intends to leave Anderlecht at the end of the season in the wake of Tuesday s terrorist attacks in Brussels.

More than 30 people are thought to have died in three blasts in the Belgian capital, with the city s Zaventem airport and Maelbeek metro station targeted.

And Argentinian Suarez, who joined Anderlecht in July 2008, has decided he wants a move away from Stade Constant Vanden Stock.

I wasn t at home, I was on my way to training and heard about the attacks on the radio in the car. It was very scary, Suarez told Spanish television show El Chiringuito.

I tried to call my daughter to make sure she was okay and see if I had to go and look for her. Training was called off. It s frightening, particularly for my family.

After what …

Ajax have signed Calvin Bassey from Rangers for a fee of €23million (£19.6m) that could rise to €26.5m (£22.6m) with add-ons.

The 22-year-old defender is likely to be the replacement for Lisandro Martinez, who is close to sealing a move to Manchester United to be reunited with former boss Erik ten Hag.

Bassey has signed a five-year-deal at the Johan Cruyff Arena, and the Eredivisie champions confirmed he has already joined his new team-mates in Austria at their pre-season training camp.

Though born in Italy, Bassey is a Nigeria international, and became a regular at Rangers last season as he starred in their run to the Europa League final, dispatching the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Braga and RB Leipzig along the way.

From Glasgow to Amsterdam.
