Celtic’s start to the new season hasn’t been the most convincing but there is still plenty of time left in the transfer window to improve sufficiently.

This has been a productive week on the recruitment front for the Hoops by acquiring Joe Hart and James McCarthy.

What’s the word?

Although Celtic have added Carl Starfelt to their defensive ranks, the Bhoys are still interested in signing another centre-back.

They have looked at Mario Vuskovic in the ongoing window but someone they nearly signed in January is still on their radar.

According to Goal, the Bhoys remain keen on signing Ben Davies from Liverpool.

However, they will face competition from Sheffield United and Bournemouth for his services. It’s thought that Liverpool are willing to let him leave Anfield on loan for a season.

Better than Bitton

Considering Nir Bitton’s start to the new campaign, it is of utmost importance that Celtic sign another central defender.

The Israeli was sent off in baffling fashion against Midtjylland in the Champions League and was then at fault against Hearts last weekend too.

He lacks composure and is a rather erratic player, proving to be a liability at times last season too.

Davies, however, has plenty of composure and is a strong-willed character.

Although he’s not played a single game for Liverpool after joining them from Preston in the winter, he’s still a fabulous defender who’s strong aerially and calm in possession.

A glowing review from his manager at Southport, Paul Carden, tells you everything you need to know: “He was a different class and I did think he’d get in Preston’s first team. If you’d have asked me whether he’d sign for Liverpool, I probably wouldn’t have said so.”

Carden added: “He can play as a left-sided centre half, on the left of a three, as a left-back or a left wing-back. He’s not the biggest but he’s comfortable with both feet and reads the game really well. He steps out with the ball.”

Reading the play sufficiently is not an area Bitton thrives in, as evidenced by the error he made at Tynecastle last week.

Consequently, Ange Postecoglou must do everything he can to convince the £60k-per-week Davies to move on loan to Glasgow.

AND in other news, Celtic could sign their new Henrik Larsson in “outstanding” 24-cap “animal”…

يعتقد دارين بينت، مهاجم توتنهام السابق، أنه كان ينبغي اختيار سون هيونج مين في التشكيل المثالي لبطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، من قِبل رابطة اللاعبين المحترفين.

وكانت رابطة اللاعبين المحترفين قد أعلنت أمس التشكيل المثالي لموسم 2021/22، حيث تواجد به محمد صلاح وكريستيانو رونالدو وساديو ماني في الخط الهجومي.

ورغم فوز سون هيونج بجائزة الحذاء الذهبي كهداف للموسم المذكور، مناصفة مع محمد صلاح برصيد 23 هدفًا، إلا أنه لم يتواجد في التشكيل.

وقال دارين بينت في تصريحات لشبكة “talkSPORT” الإنجليزية: “أعتقد أن سون هيونج كان لديه مواسم أفضل من اثنين من هؤلاء الثلاثة، وهناك من يقول أنه كان أفضل من الثلاثة، كنت سأود تواجد سون قبل رونالدو، وقبل ماني كذلك”.

وأضاف: “سون ومحمد صلاح تشاركا الحذاء الذهبي، عليك أن تقول، وأعتقد أن جماهير ليفربول يجب أن توافق على ذلك، أن في الجزء الأخير من الموسم لم يكن صلاح لديه نهاية جيدة للموسم، كان ضعيفًا للغاية”.

واختتم: “حقيقة أن سون كان ثابتًا تمامًا، أتذكر أن سون سجل هدفًا ضد مانشستر سيتي في بداية الموسم، لا أصدق حقيقة أنه تم التغاضي عنه تمامًا من قبل أقرانه”.

Aston Villa have been handed a potential boost in their chase for Fulham midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa this summer amid a major transfer update.

What’s the story?

Following the Cottagers’ relegation from the Premier League last season, it would be no surprise to see a number of their key players look to move on.

According to previous reports from The Daily Mail, Dean Smith’s Villa side are monitoring developments over Anguissa ahead of a potential move, with Fulham braced for offers for many of their key men.

And now, The Athletic have revealed that Anguissa was left out of the squad to face Middlesbrough in the Championship at the weekend due to his desire to leave.

It’s added that “the 25-year-old midfielder is subject to interest from clubs in Italy, Spain and the Premier League and has made it clear that he does not want to play in the Championship.”

Premier League proven

Joachim Andersen, his teammate at Fulham, has raved about about the £22.5m-rated powerhouse, saying: “He’s a top player. He’s a machine in the midfield. He’s winning so many balls and driving forward with it.”

And, when you compare the key stats between Anguissa and Villa’s own Douglas Luiz, it’s the former who comes out on top.

As per Whoscored, he is defensively far stronger than his Brazilian counterpart, averaging more tackles and interceptions per game in the Premier League, and also committing far fewer fouls too – something Villa fans will be relieved to know after Luiz’s mindless challenge to give away a penalty against Manchester United at the weekend.

And, as Andersen said, Anguissa is also adept at driving the ball forward, averaging a whopping 2.7 dribbles per game – far higher than Luiz, and actually only slightly below Jack Grealish with 2.8 in the entire Villa squad.

It’s exactly why Villa should now be pouncing on a move for Anguissa, especially with this recent development. Johan Lange must pounce now.

The fact Anguissa was left out and has made it clear he wants to move, has given Villa the perfect chance to swoop.

Meanwhile, Villa could sign a dream Jack Grealish replacement in this star…

According to a report by Sport Bild, as translated and shared by Sport Witness, Tottenham Hotspur are among the ‘most promising candidates’ to sign Borussia Mönchengladbach midfield colossus Denis Zakaria.

The Lowdown: Paratici cooking…

It has been quite the busy summer for new managing director Fabio Paratici as he aims to oversee a major summer rebuild at Spurs.

The Italian has already orchestrated a plethora of outgoings and incomings at N17 and going by reports, he doesn’t seem to be quite done there as he attempts to strengthen Nuno Espirito Santo’s hand before 2020/2021.

Now, Sport Bild have some news of another new target for Tottenham.

The Latest: Spurs among favourites to sign Zakaria…

As per the German news outlet, Tottenham are among the favourites to sign Zakaria from Monchengladbach this summer and it is believed there is ‘no longer any doubt’ he will leave the Bundesliga side.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/tottenham-latest-gossip/” title=”Tottenham latest gossip!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Tottenham, Everton and Arsenal are named as the most promising candidates from the Premier League, whereas both Napoli and Roma are also attempting to lure him away from Borussia-Park.

Monchengladbach are also prepared to offer a 50 per cent discount on their midfielder, originally wanting €40 million (£33.8m) but will entertain bids of around €20m (£16.9m).

The Verdict: No brainer?

Potentially landing Zakaria for a fee even close to £16.9m should immediately send off alarms in Paratici’s head, even despite the player’s recent fitness issues.

Still young at 24-years-old, the Switzerland international is a technically gifted and composed presence in centre midfield – having averaged an impressive 88% pass accuracy over his minutes in the Bundesliga last season (WhoScored).

Out of all Tottenham regulars with at least 10 league starts, only Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg managed a better success rate, and we believe Zakaria could be an ideal player to compete with Oliver Skipp for a place in front of Spurs’ back four.

Lauded as ‘incredible’ and a ‘very complete footballer’ by ex-Monchengladbach boss Marco Rose (Sky Germany via Planet Football), signing the 6 foot 3 monster for a discount fee would be a brilliant move by Paratici.

Diante da ideia de Rogério Ceni sobre enxugar o elenco do São Paulo para o Campeonato Brasileiro, a diretoria está perto de definir a ida por empréstimo de Breno ao Atlético-GO. O negócio, a princípio, é válido somente até o fim do Campeonato Brasileiro deste ano.

A informação foi publicada pelo GloboEsporte.com e confirmada pelo LANCE!. O clube goiano usará o atacante João Pedro, de 19 anos, como contrapartida na negociação. O garoto fica no Tricolor até o fim do ano, para o time sub-20, com preço fixado para adquirir 50% dos direitos econômicos.

Breno entende que precisa de sequência de jogos para se firmar após série de lesões desde o retorno ao futebol, em 2015. De janeiro de 2016 até agora, por exemplo, o zagueiro jogou apenas nove vezes, sendo seis nesta temporada, e era visto como quinta opção na defesa de Ceni.

Além do Atlético-GO, Ponte Preta e Sport fizeram consultas pelo zagueiro de 27 anos. Breno tem contrato com o São Paulo somente até dezembro, mas aceitou cláusula de prioridade para os tricolores renovarem o vínculo. Se uma proposta chegar, os paulistas só precisam igualar os valores para manter o beque.

Se consumada a saída de Breno, o elenco de Ceni terá Maicon, Rodrigo Caio, Lucão, Lugano e Douglas como zagueiros. O garoto Militão, que é visto como volante, já atuou na zaga nas categorias de base.
