According to the Guardian, Manchester United are preparing a £25million bid for Fulham’s teenage sensation, Ryan Sessegnon.
The 17-year-old has earned the plaudits following a series of sensational performances for Fulham, and his impressive displays are beginning to attract the interest of some of Europe’s most reputable clubs.
What’s the story?
The Red Devils are readying a £25m bid for Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon, and it is believed that Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, is willing to sell Luke Shaw to fund their move for the starlet.
However, Fulham have suggested that they would require a bid of more than £30m to contemplate selling one of their star players.
Is he worth the money?
At the age of 17, the Englishman’s achievements in his professional career is astounding. Despite being very young, Sessegnon has amassed 53 first-team appearances for the Whites, and he has scored a terrific total of 11 goals.
One of the defender’s primary assets is his versatility. Despite typically operating as a left-back, Sessegnon can function as a winger too, and he’s highly regarded for his attacking qualities such as his capacity to dribble.
Do they need him?
Manchester United flaunt a proud and treasured history of youth development, and Fulham’s rising star has the potential to rival the talents of any United academy product. However, a move to United could prove to be premature at this stage of his career.
As Wilfried Zaha’s transfer to United testified, a young player requires consistent first-team involvement to continue their progression, and the Ivorian was deprived of that during his time at Old Trafford.

If United are sincere about signing Sessegnon, they should ensure that he has an active role in their first-team, or they sign him now and loan him back to Fulham until he’s ready to assume a starting position in their team.
With Champions League football back on the agenda, Arsenal’s squad will once again be tested in a match that could, in any other year, be drawn up as a knockout round tie, with Napoli being welcomed to the Emirates.
There’s an odd perception when it comes to the Champions League group stages. Strive all season to make the top four and then hope for an ‘easy’ path into the latter stages – at least that’s the view from some sections of support. A group consisting of Napoli, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, and even regulars Marseille, is one of the glamour groups of this year’s competition.
What can be said, however, is that there are supporters who may fear that qualification from the group in either first or second place may be a stretch. It’s not that Arsenal lack the quality to match the consistently impressive Dortmund or the dark horses from Naples, it’s the question of depth and whether sacrifices can and should be made when juggling European and domestic league fixtures.
[cat_link cat=”arsenal” type=”list”]
It was a concern that Arsene Wenger chose to play Per Mertesacker for 120 minutes in the League Cup away to West Brom, only then to go on and start him in the away tie at Swansea. Thomas Vermaelen may be an able backup to the first-choice centre-back pairing at Arsenal, but considering Napoli’s potent attack, most at Arsenal would be far more assured of a good result if the German stays in the defence for this particular tie.
And the thing is it’s only the start of October. Even Wenger expressed concern over the long-term fitness of his squad, though it’s not something that couldn’t be combated via the market. The Premier League, of course, should be the priority. It’s a logical step for a club of Arsenal’s stature to regain a foothold at the highest tier of football.
So there is a question. In the likely event that Arsenal do finish third in their Champions League group – and again that isn’t a knock to the club, but an awareness of the limitations of the squad – would the Europa League and a strong charge in the Premier League be considered an acceptable or even good balance for the second half of the season? Conversely, would a lack of Champions League football in the second half of the season be deemed acceptable?
The Europa League door has fortunately been pushed open a little further for audiences in this country, with last season’s Premier League top three competing in the competition over the past two seasons. It doesn’t represent a failure by any stretch, but rather an opportunity. The League Cup, for arguments sake, is a write-off, such is the squad and the nature of Arsenal’s opponents in the next round.
Arsenal are nowhere near to winning the Champions League, and in a traditional sense have no business being in the competition, along with many others. From one point of view, it makes little sense to ‘throw away’ European football for this season, though incidentally many who are involved in the Europa League group stages do exactly that. The reality, unfortunately is that Arsenal don’t have the means to maintain this strong start in the league while offering maximum input to the Champions League.
The end result to sacrificing, in a way, one major competition is that Arsenal could be very well placed come January to strengthen and further their cause for a strong finish in the Premier League. Couldn’t it be argued that, considering the inconsistency of other title challengers, the league title is more or less up for grabs, in that there is no clear winner?
Arsenal don’t have the squad of a Bayern Munich or even an Atletico Madrid, who can afford to successfully juggle two major competitions. Instead, the domestic form of the club indicates that the Premier League will bring the most success, in one form or another. Qualifying from the Champions League group stages would be a bonus, but a third place finish wouldn’t be as disastrous as may be initially thought.

Where should Arsenal’s priorities lie this season?
A calamitous transfer deadline day at Liverpool left the club with only two recognised strikers.
Earlier in the transfer window Rodgers pleaded his need for a minimum of three strikers claiming he would have to “be a nutcase to even consider at this moment to let Andy Carroll go out, unless there are other solutions”. Carroll left Liverpool to be reunited with Kevin Nolan at West Ham and was the third striker to leave Anfield this season after both Dirk Kuyt and Craig Bellamy left the club.
A deadline day loan move for Daniel Sturridge failed to materialise, but missing out on number one target Clint Dempsey was particularly telling. Dempsey had publically declared his wish to play for Liverpool, but a fee of £6m was deemed too much for a 29 year old, who had scored 17 goals in the Premier League last season. Dempsey chose instead to move to Tottenham after rejecting earlier advances from Aston Villa as the management at Anfield headed home hours before the transfer window slammed shut with no striker in sight.
Since then the rumour mill has gone into overdrive with free agents and former players Michael Owen (now at Stoke), Emile Heskey and Florent Sinama-Pongolle all linked with moves back to the club. The possible releases of Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba from the Chinese Super League may be more suitable but big money moves to the US, Middle East and even Juventus appear far more likely destinations.
Rodgers and Liverpool are almost certain to shun these options and choose instead to look from within the club.
In John W Henry’s open letter, the American owner revealed the club is focused on developing its own talent and the likes of Morgan and Sterling may see their chances at Liverpool noticeably increase following Carroll’s departure.
Eighteen year old striker Adam Morgan is favoured by Rodgers and the out-and-out striker has impressed his manager with his work-rate and desire to learn. Morgan has been at Anfield since he was 10 years old and started against Hearts in the Europa League at Anfield last week.
Seventeen year old midfielder Raheem Sterling has started against both Manchester City and Arsenal in the league and the Jamaican-born winger has impressed in the red of Liverpool with his pace and exuberance exciting the Kop. Sterling has been capped at England U16, U17 and U19 level and could feature further forward for Liverpool as his blossoming reputation grows.
Last season Harry Redknapp chose to blood youth in the Europa League for Tottenham with the likes of Rose, Livermore and Kane all featuring. Liverpool will similarly not rank the competition too highly and Morgan, Sterling and Shelvey are all expected to see game time in the competition this season.

The signing of Samed Yesil may be unknown to many but the German striker has represented his country at Under-16, 17 and 18 level scoring 19 times in 20 appearances, including six goals at the U17 World Cup last year. Yesil has yet to be given a squad number and like Dani Pacheco should spend most of his time in the reserves, although the German is one to watch.
After a tumultuous week, Rodgers will have to quickly develop and progress his youngsters ahead of schedule to negate the failings of the board as Liverpool look to cope without the cover of Andy Carroll.

According to El Gol Digital, Manchester United are prepared to sell Ander Herrera to Barcelona in this summer’s transfer window.
Herrera has made more than 150 appearances for United since a 2014 move from Athletic Bilbao, but is currently being linked with a move away from the club.
Indeed, it is being reported that a bid of £22m from Barcelona at the end of the season would be enough to convince the 20-time English champions to sell.
Herrera won the club’s Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award last season, but has struggled for consistency this term, and his contract will expire at the end of the 2018-19 campaign.
The United fans have been offering their opinions on the situation, and a number do not want to see the midfielder sold. That said, there are also those that believe the Spaniard is not good enough to be a regular starter for the Red Devils.

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood has hailed praise on new summer signing Rudy Gestede’s heading ability, according to reports from the Daily Star.
Gestede joined Villa from Blackburn Rovers after the two clubs agreed on a £6million fee last week as a direct replacement for Christian Benteke, who left for Liverpool.

And Sherwood insists that the Benin international striker is able to fill in for the £32.5million Belgian, praising his heading as the best he has seen in the English game.
He said: “Rudy has a lot of qualities but one outstanding one and that’s his aerial presence, which is immense.
“It’s better than anything I have seen around in English football. He terrorises defenders in the air.
“With respect to the central defenders in the Championship, they are there because there’s a great aerial presence in that division.
“So if he can do that to them, I am sure he can do it to the guys in the Premier League. His goalscoring record is terrific too.”
The former Tottenham Hotspur interim manager went on to add that the £6million the Midlands club paid for the 26-year-old is a snip when compared to Blackburn’s £11million asking price for his strike-partner Jordan Rhodes.
“Everyone talks about Jordan Rhodes and absolutely right because he scores goals, but Rudy outscored him last season,” he continued.
“They’re talking about £11m upwards for Jordan. We think we have a bargain with Rudy. Also, he’s a great guy and wants to develop and learn.”
Villa have been extremely active in the transfer market, bringing in the likes of Jordan Ayew from Lorient, Jordan Amavi from Nice, and Micah Richards from Fiorentina this summer.

Gestede made 44 appearances for Blackburn in all competitions last season, scoring 22 goals.
When Brendan Rodgers decided that Pepe Reina’s future lay elsewhere, one has to imagine that his decision was not made with 100% assuredness.
Reina, now on his way to Napoli, has been a cornerstone of today’s Liverpool, with his status at Anfield perhaps only surpassed by Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher.
His imperious record and vast experience is unmatched by most of Rodgers’ current squad, and most other Premier League goalkeepers.
Indeed, to say that Simon Mignolet has big gloves to fill could well be classed an understatement.
That’s not to suggest he isn’t capable of the task. The Belgian has steadily proved himself over the last three campaigns at Sunderland and for many was one of the best goalkeepers in England last season.
It is no secret though, that players of quality can end up struggling when they find themselves wearing a shirt like that of Liverpool’s, steeped in such esteemed history.
Mignolet has developed markedly with Sunderland, but previous to his time on Tyneside, the 25-year-old was plying his trade in the first and second divisions of Belgium.
Compare that to where Reina joined Liverpool from. Although only 22 at the time, the shot stopper had already experienced top European football with Barcelona and Villarreal.
Experience is not the only doubt that the red half of Merseyside might have about Rodgers’ decision however.
For sheer talent, does Mignolet represent a better option than Reina?
Napoli’s incoming keeper has kept Liverpool 134 clean sheets in the Premier League. That stat speaks for itself.
To the contrary, Mignolet has managed 29 clean sheets, which actually is rather impressive considering last season was the first time he kept goal for the entire duration of the league.
Those stats of course do not tell the whole story, but nevertheless give a small insight into the ability of both.
A clearer representation for some will be the praises that have been sung about each.
It seems unnecessary to pull up a quote about Reina. Everyone is aware of the plaudits he has received through his career, regularly thought of as one of the best keepers in Europe and by many a Liverpool fan as the best in their history.
As for Mignolet, those who have worked closest with him have never doubted his quality.
Just last year, Martin O’Neill exclaimed: “When I look at Joe Hart I see an excellent goalkeeper, his performance for Manchester City against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League was sublime, but Simon is playing just as well.”
Certainly, it would appear on the ability front that Mignolet has all the attributes to be a more than apt replacement for Reina.
Is the change really necessary though?
At 25, Mignolet evidently has the chance to develop yet more, but Reina is 30, which in goalkeeping years, as has been proved by the likes of Brad Friedel and Edwin Van Der Sar in recent times, is becoming a career peak point.
Many will say that the Spaniard has appeared jaded and past his best in recent seasons, with more errors seeming to creep into his game.
Arguably however, a chance for the man from Madrid to settle has been denied in the said period. He had to work with a very deep back line under Roy Hodgson, a line a touch higher under Kenny Dalglish and a much higher one under Rodgers.
The suggestion from the Liverpool boss yesterday though, was that Reina had to go due to his high wages, which are thought to be around £110,000 per week.
“Financially it was something that we needed to look at,” said Rodgers. “That would be the reason [to move Reina] as you wouldn’t move on a top goalkeeper. It (the situation) reared its head over the last couple of months and I had to prepare by bringing in another keeper.”

To suggest Reina was sent on his way due to his wages could be taken as an indicator of how Rodgers rates Mignolet.
If finances are a little insecure at Anfield, then surely he would not, just over a year into his tenure, shell out in the region of £9million for a replacement?
Equally though, the fact that Reina is to join Napoli on a season-long loan could be seen as an example of slight doubt from Rodgers.
Usually these types of deals are with a view to a permanent transfer, bearing in mind the current situation of both clubs.
Napoli though, having sold Edinson Cavani to Paris Saint-Germain for £55million, are clearly not short of money.
Meanwhile, Liverpool could surely have found another suitor for Reina if they wanted to sell.
It all of course depends upon how the situation is read, but from this viewpoint, it could be reckoned that Rodgers is keeping the door open for a Reina return.
Former England forward Alan Shearer was pretty scathing in his criticism of West Ham United on Sunday night’s Match of the Day programme.
Indeed, the Hammers were thumped 4-1 by Manchester City at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon to leave themselves still very much in relegation trouble.
Shearer accused a number of West Ham players – namely Javier Hernandez and Cheikhou Kouyate – of lacking effort during the match at the London Stadium.
City are a wonderful football team, but Shearer was keen to stress that the Hammers made it easy for Pep Guardiola’s side by failing to close the space available to the English champions.
The West Ham fans are a very frustrated bunch at the moment, with many taking to social media to blast head coach David Moyes, who faces a battle to keep his job.

The club’s supporters were in complete agreement with football pundit Shearer on Sunday night, however, following a disappointing performance from their team.
A selection of the Twitter reaction can be seen below:
Largely due to the miraculous rise of Francis Coquelin since the turn of 2015, Arsene Wenger seems reluctant to spend big on a holding player this summer.
Indeed, many view a ‘big-‘n-‘burly’ defensive-mid as one of the few intrinsic differences between Arsenal and the Premier League’s other title contenders. But Wenger appears to have conceded Southampton’s Morgan Schneiderlin to Manchester United, whilst we haven’t heard much about Arsenal’s alleged pursuits of Lars Bender, Grzegorz Krychowiak or William Carvalho for some time.
Perhaps he’s in the right; Coquelin produced equal – if not superior – form to many of the Gunners’ ball-winning targets towards the end of last season and the last thing the north London outfit need is a cumbersome thug disrupting their definitive, possession-based build-up play.
So it’s time to consider some cheaper solutions to Arsenal’s lack of height, power and defensive awareness in the middle of the park; experienced players who could step in for the big games that won’t command a sizable chunk of the club’s summer transfer budget.
With that in mind, here’s FIVE budget anchormen the Gunners should target this summer.
ALEX SONG
Arsene Wenger seems completely adverse to the idea of re-signing former Gunner Alex Song, but I struggle to understand why.
The Cameroon international was one of the top enforcers in the Premier League during his lengthy Emirates tenure and has hardly become a worse player by undertaking two years at Barcelona – the most dominant club side in world football over the last decade.
The 27 year-old spent last year on loan at West Ham, demonstrating the composure, control and quality you’d expect of a Champions League regular – which is the level the 6ft. 1″ midfielder should still be playing at, in my opinion.
Perhaps most importantly of all from Arsenal’s perspective, he’s the only player on this list who has proven himself compatible with the Gunners’ unique style of play before, recording an impressive 13 assists across all competitions during his final campaign in north London.
Furthermore, Barca are set to sell Song for an absolute pittance this summer – some sources even claim he’ll be allowed to leave for free. Currently, however, he’s expected to join the Hammers permanently.
THIAGO MOTTA
PSG’s Thiago Motta is about as proven as it gets. He’s won league titles with Barcelona, Inter Milan and claimed three in three seasons since moving to Parc de Princes in January 2012.
He’s also a regular international for Italy, featuring prominently in the squad that reached the final of the last European championships, and now has 70 appearances in continental tournaments under his belt.
In terms of height, power and defensive quality, the 6ft. 2″ midfielder represents exactly what the Gunners currently lack in midfield. But Motta’s also a smart player who uses the ball well, boasting a pass completion rate of 93% in Ligue 1 alongside one created chance per match.
Motta’s no spring chicken at the age of 32, but with just a year remaining on his contract, the Parisians would probably let him leave for a nominal fee this summer.
ESTEBAN CAMBIASSO
Esteban Cambiasso’s performances for Leicester City last season verged upon talismanic, netting five times as the Foxes staved off relegation with a miraculous great escape.
Admittedly, at 34 years of age the Argentina international doesn’t offer the Gunners much in the way of longevity.
But the midfielder looked more than comfortable at Premier League level during his King Power Stadium tenure, continually demonstrating the pedigree, intelligence and experience you’d expect from a former Champions League winner with 52 caps for Albiceleste under his belt. He averaged an impressive 2.3 tackles, 2.1 interceptions and 1.2 created chances per match.
There’s life in the old dog yet and perhaps most appealingly of all, the former Inter Milan star is currently available on a free transfer. He’s yet to extend his one-year deal with Leicester and the shock sacking of Nigel Pearson last week could convince him to consider other opportunities.
STEVEN N’ZONZI
Steven N’Zonzi may not be the most popular of figures outside of the Britannia Stadium but every club needs a gritty, irritating and provocative figure like the Stoke City enforcer.
Furthermore, the Frenchman has shown a clear progression during his Premier League spells with Blackburn and the Potters and is now one of the most formidable characters in their’ starting Xi, blending an imperious 6ft. 3″ frame with consistency, vision and occasional elegance on the ball.

He was Stoke’s tempo setter last year, averaging the most passes per match of any player in their squad, and has resultantly become an integral component of Mark Hughes’ aesthetic evolution from the Tony Pulis days – suggesting he wouldn’t look awkward and out of place in the Gunners’ technically-demanding engine room.
Likewise, the 26 year-old is an ambitious character, handing in two transfer requests over the last two summers. So with his contract now into its final twelve months, he could easily force a move away before the start of next season.
Currently, however, he’s a priority target for Sevilla.
JOHN OBI MIKEL
A defender’s answer to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, John Obi Mikel has been dubbed ‘the human full time whistle’ for his world-class ability to kill off games after entering the fray from the bench.
Protecting leads is certainly his forte but the Nigerian international’s talents stem far beyond the limited role he repeatedly performs for the Premier League champions. In truth, he’s highly competent in possession, claiming a 91% pass completion rate last season, and has often demonstrated his more progressive qualities when on Super Eagles duty.
Perhaps the 28 year-old’s biggest asset, however, is his vast experience. He’s featured in the most important games English and European football have to offer – including two Champions League finals – and is now verging upon a decade in the Premier League.
The 6ft. 2″ enforcer apparently wants to leave Stamford Bridge this summer after making just six league starts this season, but whether the Blues would be prepared to further strengthen Arsenal after already surrendering Petr Cech remains to be seen.
PUMA’s latest colourway of the PowerCat 1 FG football boot will be debuted on pitch by Marco Reus in the most important match of the year this weekend. Reus, who has been an instrumental figure in the Borussia Dortmund’s successes on the road to the UEFA Champions League final, will wear his new black and yellow PowerCat boots for the first time at Wembley.
Marco Reus said, “Reaching the Champions League final is the biggest moment of my career so far and I cannot wait to walk out on this great football stage at the weekend. My first season at Borussia Dortmund with the whole Champions League tournament has been extremely exciting, and going to Wembley is really an absolute highlight for me. My new PUMA boots feature a similar colourway to the iconic BVB colours, I think this is a good sign and hope they will help me perform well in London and bring about a great end to a phenomenal season.”
The PUMA PowerCat 1 FG is designed for players who desire power and accuracy when shooting and passing. Featuring a perfect blend of materials, this boot provides increased kicking power, whilst enabling precision through the newest PUMA technology that improves ball grip (3D PST DUO Technology). The boot delivers a bladed stud configuration for better traction, manoeuvrability and accurate pressure distribution and the external heel counter protects and stabilises the heel.
Finishing touches are the soft, premium K-Leather that enhances fit, comfort and touch and a lightweight microfiber material in the lateral quarter to support of the midfoot, which is essential to keep the weight of the boot to a minimum.
The new PowerCat 1 FG products in the black, fluorescent yellow and blue colourway will be on pitch this weekend and available in-store from the 1st of June 2013.

Manchester United could be in for a big summer in the transfer market – especially from a defensive point of view – and one of the positions Jose Mourinho could prioritise is at right-back.
While Antonio Valencia has been a great servant for the Red Devils, he is getting no younger and his own fans on Twitter are split as to whether he has a future at Old Trafford.
One right-back that could be a potential target for them is Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich, who impressed and scored in his side’s 2-1 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie against Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night.
His display didn’t go unnoticed by United supporters on Twitter, so we decided to ask the fans to vote on our poll to see if they would want Kimmich to replace Valencia at right-back this summer.

A huge 88% said they would want the Germany international to arrive at Old Trafford, and it will certainly be interesting to see what Mourinho intends to do this summer as it is clear that the club will probably need a new right-back if they are to compete with Manchester City for the Premier League title next term.
