[ad_1] Tete will have a medical with Leicester on Saturday night ahead of his move from parent club Shakhtar Donetsk, 90min understands. The Brazilian winger was offered to Premier League sides on loan with the view of a permanent deal back in December before the Foxes held talks with the representatives of the Lyon loanee regarding a move to the King Power Stadium. Lyon are prepared to lose the 22-year-old as manager Laurent Blanc plans to move his side in a different direction. Despite that, Tete is their second highest top scorer this season after Alexandre Lacazette – who has 11 goals – with sixRead More →

[ad_1] Weston McKennie is due at Leeds on Sunday for a medical ahead of his transfer from Juventus after the two clubs agreed terms, 90min understands. Leeds’ confidence of signing the USA international has grown in recent days, with the player and club finalising personal terms. McKennie made it clear Leeds were his first choice despite talks with other Premier League sides and he is due to link up with compatriots Jesse Marsch, Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams in West Yorkshire. McKennie will join Marsch’s side for an initial £1m loan with a £29m option for a permanent transfer. That option will become an obligationRead More →

[ad_1] Despite the best intentions of its mystique and magic, the modern history of the FA Cup is deeply intertwined with the Premier League. Since 2004, there has been just one finalist from outside England’s top flight (Cardiff City lost to Portsmouth in 2008). West Ham were the last team below the First Division to win the trophy when they lifted the cup in 1980. Yet, the rules of these interlinked competitions can be difficult to extract – especially after undergoing excessive tinkering in recent years. Here’s everything you need to know about the rules regarding suspensions in the FA Cup and Premier League. SinceRead More →

[ad_1] Jose Mourinho has admitted he has a serious problem on his hands when it comes to the future of Nicolo Zaniolo. The 23-year-old attacking midfielder has been the subject of serious interest from Premier League side Bournemouth in recent weeks, with 90min sources confirming the club even spoke to the player directly. However, Zaniolo has rejected the offer on the table from Bournemouth, while potential loan moves to AC Milan and Tottenham have broken down, making it increasingly likely the Italy international will remain at Roma at least until the end of this season. It’s safe to say his manager is not happy and,Read More →

[ad_1] Kamal Miller has insisted his focus remains on the upcoming MLS season with CF Montreal amid transfer interest. The 25-year-old center-back has been one of Montreal’s most consistent players in recent years and saw his form rewarded with a key role in Canada’s 2022 World Cup appearance. Miller’s form has, naturally, caused his name to be linked to a European transfer, and 90min understands there is even interest from clubs in the top 10 leagues and competing in Uefa competitions. Should he depart, he would follow in the footsteps of the likes of Alistair Johnston and Djordje Mihailivic to swap Montreal for Europe inRead More →

[ad_1] Liverpool travel south for a meeting with Brighton in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon. A trip to the south coast is prime PTSD material for a Liverpool side that got thumped 3-0 by the Seagulls just two weeks ago. Yet, whoever their opponent was this particular weekend may have conjured bad memories. Under Jurgen Klopp, the Reds have lost four of their last six matches in the FA Cup fourth round. Here’s the XI Klopp may deploy to prevent another early exit. Ibrahima Konate was the only player to start all six of Liverpool’s matches in last season’s FARead More →

[ad_1] Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has denied responsibility for Marcus Rashford’s return to form, insisting the England international deserves all the credit. Rashford has racked up 18 goals and six assists in 29 appearances for Ten Hag’s United, taking over the goalscoring burden from Cristiano Ronaldo and re-establishing himself as a key player for both club and country. As 90min reported back in June 2022, Ten Hag spoke with Rashford before even moving to Old Trafford to stress his desire to work with the forward and turn him into one of Europe’s finest in his position, and both are definitely reaping the rewardsRead More →

[ad_1] Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim has warned Tottenham that he will not take right-back Pedro Porro out of his starting lineup until a transfer has been 100% agreed. 90min understands Tottenham are confident they will get a deal over the line for the 23-year-old eventually, but Sporting’s reluctance to budge from their asking price of Porro’s €45m release clause has led to some lengthy negotiations which are not yet over. And while Porro is still contracted to Sporting, Amorim will not hesitate to use the right-back and risk an injury which could see the entire move collapse. “Porro does not leave before the game,”Read More →

[ad_1] Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confessed that midfielder Thomas Partey was in ‘some discomfort’ as he was forced off in Friday’s FA Cup defeat to Manchester City. The Ghana international has been a near-permanent fixture for Arsenal this season but managed just 45 minutes against City and limped off at half-time of what ended up as a 1-0 defeat for the Premier League leaders. After the game, Arteta confessed he did not know the severity of Partey’s injury. “He had some discomfort and it was getting worse and worse,” the boss told reporters. “He was uncomfortable to continue.
