da dobrowin： For all the work that Ange Postecoglou has done in transforming the style of play at Tottenham Hotspur this season, the former Celtic boss also deserves credit for his astute moves in the transfer market, having enjoyed far more hits than misses in that department to date.

da gbg bet： In fact, it is hard to think of any new arrivals who have not hit the ground running at N17, with Guglielmo Vicario proving a "revelation" in the sticks – according to pundit Jamie Carragher – while Micky van de Ven has proven himself to be a real "Rolls-Royce" at centre-back, as per Dutch journalist Suleyman Ozturk.

James Maddison has dazzled following his £40m move from Leicester City – providing ten goals and assists thus far – while Brennan Johnson is beginning to catch fire with two goals from his last three Premier League outings.

With even Timo Werner – who has two assists from his first four league appearances for the club – getting off to a promising start in Lilywhite, it would appear that Postecoglou has the Midas touch at present when it comes to recruitment.

The same could not always be said during Mauricio Pochettino's fondly remembered stint in charge, however, with one of the Argentine's last signings having particularly underwhelmed in recent years in north London.

Pochettino splashed out on teen talent

Just a matter of months prior to his shock sacking in November 2019, the current Chelsea boss oversaw the capture of promising teenager, Ryan Sessegnon from London rivals Fulham, with the youngster joining for a sizeable fee of around £25m.

That costly capture looked to be an astute move at the time, with the versatile gem – who can feature in a variety of roles down the left flank – having particularly impressed in the Championship in 2017/18, contributing 24 goals and assists to help fire the Cottagers to promotion.

A further haul of eight goal involvements the following season in the top-flight was enough for Spurs to make their move, with the young speedster looking set to have "a massive future" in the game, according to then-teammate Matt Targett, amid comparisons to a certain Gareth Bale.

Despite memorably scoring away to Bayern Munich during his first Champions League start in December 2019, Sessegnon's time at the club has never reached such heights again, with injury and a lack of game time having been central to his downfall.

That stark decline for the 23-year-old can be particularly seen in his plummeting transfer value, with it hard to see Daniel Levy and co being able to recoup anywhere close to that £25m figure if the wing-back is to depart in the near future.

Ryan Sessegnon's market value

With just a year left to run on his existing deal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Englishman appears to be coming to the climax of a frustrating spell with the Lilywhites, having even been tipped for a loan move away from the club last month.

Despite reported shock interest from rivals Manchester United, the 5 foot 10 dynamo ultimately stayed put in Postecoglou's ranks, having only recently made his first appearance of the season against Burnley in the FA Cup, following a lengthy stint on the sidelines.

If the club are to push for a permanent exit for the player over the summer, amid his expiring contract, the suggestion is that they will have to sell him on the cheap, with CIES Football Observatory valuing the once-promising talent at just €5m (£4m).

While time is still on his side to revive his career, be it at Spurs or elsewhere, it is not as if Sessegnon has particularly impressed when he has been fit and available for the club, even being described as "a Championship player" by club insider John Wenham, as he "can’t beat a man, has no pace, has no strength and cannot deliver a cross".

“It has been a blurry two days for me. I have been thinking about what I can say.. Do I put this down as a tribute to my all time favorite cricketer ? Maybe I’ll just take the partner angle? Or maybe a love letter from a fan girl? I guess this is a little bit of all of it.”When I saw Ashwins PC, I thought of small and big moments. Many many memories over the last 13-14 years. The big wins , the MOS awards, the quiet silence in our room after an intense game, the sound of the shower running for much longer than usual on some evenings post play , the scratch of pencil over paper as he scribbled thoughts down, the constant streaming of footage videos when he is making a game plan, the calm of meditative breathing before leaving for each game, certain songs playing on repeat while he unwinds.. The times we weeped in joy – after the CT final, after the MCG win, after the Sydney draw, The Gabba win, after making a comeback in T20s…the times we sat in silence and the times when we had our hearts broken.Related

“Dear Ashwin, from not knowing how to put a kit bag together to following you to stadiums all over the world, rooting for you, watching you and learning from you, it has been an absolute pleasure. The world you introduced me to gave me the privilege to watch and enjoy a sport that I love from close quarters. It also showed me how much passion, hardwork and discipline is needed to keep your head above water. And sometimes even that is not enough. I remember us talking about why you, R Ashwin, had to do all of this and a lot more to even stay relevant in the scheme of things. How awards, the best of stats, the POMs, the accolades, the records didn’t matter if you didn’t sharpen your skill sets constantly and did not put in the work. Sometimes, nothing is enough. As you end your wonderful international run, I only want to tell you that it’s all good.It is all going to be good.It is time to set the burden of being you down. Live life on your terms, make space for those extra calories, make time for your family, make time to do absolutely nothing, share memes all day, create a new bowling variation, bug our kids out of their minds.

Smale, Morris half-centuries set up visitors with bat before Stars crumble in chase

Kate Cross claimed a six-wicket haul•Getty Images

Thunder 250 for 8 (Smale 76, Morris 54) beat South East Stars 130 (Chathli 54, Cross 6-40) by 120 runsEngland’s Kate Cross took List A best figures of 6 for 40 as Thunder beat South East Stars by 120 runs in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy at Beckenham.Batting first, Thunder made 250 for 8 from their 50 overs, Seren Smale top-scoring with 76 and Fi Morris making 54. Ryana MacDonald-Gay was the Stars’ most potent bowler with three for 42 and she also claimed a run out, while Kalea Moore took 2 for 49.Cross, however, did the damage by claiming the key wickets of Bryony Smith and Alice Davidson-Richards in successive balls. Despite a batting 54 from Kira Chathli Stars never really looked like chasing down the target and they were all out for 130 from 36.4 overs.Thunder won the toss and chose to bat on a slow Beckenham track, putting on 53 for the opening wicket before Moore bowled Alice Clark for 23 in the 15th over.MacDonald-Gay bowled Emma Lamb for 24 in the next over, but Smale and Morris shifted the momentum with a 96-run stand that was only broken when the latter chipped a Moore full toss to Paige Scholfield at cover.MacDonald-Gay nearly had Smale for 43 in the next over but Chathli couldn’t hang on to an inside edge and she was joined by Ellie Threlkeld, who made 33 before she was cleaned up by MacDonald-Gay. At that point the Thunder were on 205 for 4 with seven overs left but they lost wickets too frequently to mount a serious charge during the death overs.MacDonald-Gay bowled Naomi Dattani for 14 and then ran out Danielle Collins for 1 as she chased a non-existent single, before Smale was smartly run out by Phoebe Franklin going for a second.It was impossible to say who were favourites at halfway but Scholfield was unable to bat in her usual slot due to an injury and the odds tilted further in the visitors’ favour when Cross intervened.Stars skipper Smith went for just 12, caught at extra cover by Clark and Cross’s next delivery bowled Davidson-Richards off the inside edge for a golden duck. Chathli survived the hat-trick ball at the start of the next over and was then dropped off the sixth ball by Dattani when she was on 2.Makeshift opener Chloe Hill made a useful 18 in a partnership of 45 for the third wicket until Sophie Morris had her caught by Clark. Moore was bowled by Dattani for 6 and when Aylish Cranstone was lbw to Fi Morris for 9 Stars’ hopes looked thin.They looked thinner still when the same bowler had Franklin caught for 2 at cover by Cross and wafer-thin when Cross returned at the City End to get Chathli caught at long-on by Fi Morris.In her next over Cross had MacDonald-Gay caught in the deep by Fi Morris for 13 and although Scholfield came in at No. 10, she was batting in visible discomfort and lasted just two balls before chipping Cross to Dattani for 1. An emphatic win was concluded when Cross bowled Dani Gregory for a duck.

تحدثت شبكة “ليفربول إيكو” الإنجليزية عن أداء نجم فريق ليفربول، محمد صلاح، في الوقت الحالي، وسط تعرضه للكثير من الانتقادات بسبب أدائه الضعيف ذلك الموسم رفقة كتيبة آرني سلوت.

وفقد ليفربول صدارة الدوري الإنجليزي يوم السبت الماضي بعدما خسر أمام تشيلسي، بهدفين لهدف، في الجولة السابعة على ملعب “ستامفورد بريدج”.

وقالت شبكة “ليفربول إيكو” الإنجليزية في تقرير لها:”لم تكن صيحات الاستهجان التي اُستقبل بها محمد صلاح خلال زيارته الأخيرة إلى ناديه السابق تشيلسي نهاية الأسبوع الماضي جديدة على جناح ليفربول، ولكن، ولأول مرة على الأرجح في مسيرته الحافلة مع الريدز، يواجه اللاعب المصري الآن تساؤلات حقيقية حول مكانه في التشكيلة الأساسية للفريق”.

وأضافت: “كان أداء محمد صلاح المخيب للآمال ضد تشيلسي يُعد آخر حلقة في سلسلة من العروض المخيبة له، والتي لم ترتق إلى مستوى التوقعات التي وضعها في طريقه ليصبح أفضل لاعب في إنجلترا ولاعب العام من رابطة اللاعبين المحترفين وبطل الدوري الإنجليزي الموسم الماضي”.

وواصلت: “ولكن هذا لا يعني أن محمد صلاح قد توقف عن تقديم أرقام معقولة، حيث سجل 3 وصنع 3 في 10 مباريات في مختلف المسابقات ذلك الموسم، مع العلم أنه لم يتفوق عليه في المساهمات التهديفية سوى 6 لاعبين فقط، ولكن مع التعمق والتركيز، نجد أننا أمام لاعب يعاني من أجل استعادة مستواه”.

وأفادت: “لعل الإحصائية الأكثر إثارة للقلق خلال مباراة ليفربول وتشيلسي، هي أن محمد صلاح لم يتمكن من إحداث مراوغة ناجحة كاملة، ولم يتجاوز لاعبًا مرة واحدة، وكان صاحب أقل عدد من اللمسات بين جميع اللاعبين الذين لعبوا 90 دقيقة، حيث يبلغ معدل مراوغاته الناجحة حاليًا 12.5% ​​فقط، مقارنةً بـ 42.3% في الموسم الماضي”.

وأوضحت: “في حين قد انخفضت مقاييسه بشكل عام، حيث تراجع متوسط عدد تسديداته ولمساته في منطقة جزاء الخصم إلى النصف في الدوري الإنجليزي حتى الآن ذلك الموسم، بينما انخفض عدد مرات تقدمه بالكرة للأمام والفرص التي يصنعها، كما يحصل على عدد أقل من الركلات الحرة في المباراة الواحدة مقارنة بالموسم الماضي”.

وأشارت: “ولا يعني هذا أن ليفربول لا يركز على محمد صلاح بشكل كاف، حيث تلقى اللاعب تمريرات أكثر تطورًا بكثير من أي لاعب آخر في الدوري الإنجليزي هذا الموسم، ولكن تراجع مستواه لم يقتصر على الشهرين الماضيين فقط، ففي آخر 24 مباراة له في جميع المسابقات مع ليفربول، سجل 4 أهداف فقط من 52 تسديدة، بعيدًا عن ركلات الجزاء”.

واستكملت: “ليس من الصعب إيجاد أسباب لذلك، يأتي على رأسها رحيل ترينت ألكسند أرنولد، فقبل بداية الموسم، لعب محمد صلاح 316 مباراة من أصل 401 مباراة مع ليفربول، وكان أرنولد خلفه على الجهة اليمنى، وكان بمثابة المحور الإبداعي لفريق حصد ألقابًا مهمة بشكل منتظم، في حين شهد الموسم الحالي مشاركة كل من برادلي، فريمبونج، سوبوسلاي، واتارو إندو وجو جوميز في مركز الظهير الأيمن، ولا يزال سلوت يبحث عن لاعب أساسي في ذلك المركز”.

واسترسلت: “كما شهد خطالهجوم تجديدًا شاملًا بتكلفة باهظة، حيث انضم ألكسندر إيزاك (125 مليون جنيه إسترليني) وهوجو إيكتيكي (79 مليون جنيه إسترليني) إلى جانب لاعب الوسط المهاجم فلوريان فيرتز (116 مليون جنيه إسترليني)، هذا يعني أن الأنماط والإيقاعات المعتادة لم تعد موجودة في أسلوب لعب ليفربول حتى الآن، إذ يبحثون عن هيكل هجومي جديد”.

وأكدت: “هذا الأمر سمح لدفاعات الخصوم بالتركيز بشكل أكبر على إبطال خطورة محمد صلاح، ففي كثير من الأحيان يجد نفسه في مواجهة مدافعين أو ثلاثة دون أي منفذ واضح متاح بسهولة، مع العلم أن ذلك الجيل الجديد من اللاعبين يمثل مستقبل ليفربول، في حين يمر صلاح بمرحلة صعبة تتمثل في تسليم الراية ونقل خبراته إلى زملائه، محاولًا بناء علاقات ميدانية مع أولئك الذين سيحلون محله في نهاية المطاف، مع العلم أنه لن يُنظر إليه على أنه الرجل الرئيسي للريدز لفترة طويلة”.

واستأنفت: “كما أن هناك العامل البشري، فمثل العديد من اللاعبين المرموقين، يولي محمد صلاح أهمية كبرى للتقدير الفردي، وإن لم يكن يفضل ذلك على الجوائز الجماعية، وكان من المؤسف عدم فوزه بالكرة الذهبية الشهر الماضي نظرًا لأنها تمثل فرصته الأخيرة للتتويج بها”.

وشرحت: “إلى جانب ذلك، جاء رد فعل محمد صلاح العاطفي أمام جماهير ليفربول بعد الفوز على بورنموث، دليلًا على كيفية محاولته رفقة زملائه تجاوز وفاة ديوجو جوتا المأساوية في يوليو الماضي، وبخلاف ذلك، يجب ألا ننسى أنه رغم برنامجه التدريبي الدقيق، فإنه مع بلوغ سن 33 عامًا، بدأت سرعته ونشاطه في تراجع مستمر”.

ونوهت: “في آخر عامين من عقد من الخدمة الرائعة لـ ليفربول، يقع العبء الآن على عاتق كل من محمد صلاح وسلوت لإيجاد طريقة لمواصلة تقديم أفضل ما لديه، مع تقبل وجود تراجع تدريجي في بعض الجوانب، كما أن فترة التوقف الدولي الحالي، والتي يستطيع خلالها المصري التأهل إلى كأس العالم 2026 وكيفية تحسين ما حدث في نسخة 2018، قد تعطيه دفعة ثقة ضرورية”.

واختتمت:”في النهاية، يشير تطور محمد صلاح المستمر خلال مسيرته في أنفيلد إلى أنه لم ينتهِ بعد، مع ذلك فقد حان الوقت لنسخة أخرى من المصري، حيث لا يزال ليفربول بحاجة إليه”.

da gbg bet： Nottingham Forest have exceeded the expectations set by everyone ahead of the 2024/25 Premier League season, with Champions League football firmly on the cards.

da fazobetai： Nuno Espírito Santo has masterminded the Reds to third place in England’s top flight, boasting a five-point gap to sixth place with just seven league outings remaining.

The thought of welcoming Europe’s elite to the City Ground was a distant dream for supporters after two near-misses with relegation after promotion, but such hopes could come to fruition in the coming months.

However, if they are to be competitive in Europe and the Premier League next season, additions are desperately needed, handing Nuno the squad depth to rotate when needed.

Owner Evangelos Marinakis has wasted no time in targeting reinforcements for 2025/26, with one name remerging on their shortlist after previous interest in his signature last summer.

Nottingham Forest plot move for £40m talisman this summer

According to TBR, Forest are plotting a summer move for Evanilson after his impressive debut campaign in the Premier League with Bournemouth.

The Brazilian, who joined the Cherries for £40m last summer, has scored 11 goals in 27 appearances across all competitions, sitting as their second top scorer behind Justin Kluivert.

It’s not the first time the Reds have targeted the 25-year-old, after being firmly in the race for his signature just under 12 months ago before his subsequent move to the Vitality.

The report claims that Newcastle and Aston Villa are also in the race for Evanilson’s signature, with Nuno looking for reinforcements whilst also trying to move Taiwo Awoniyi on this window.

It’s unclear whether Andoni Iraola’s side would be open to parting ways with their star striker, but he could provide an alternative to one other forward currently on Marinakis’ radar.

Why Evanilson would be the perfect Gyokeres alternative

As a result of their impressive form, Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres has emerged on Forest’s radar, with the Portuguese side demanding £60m to part with their star man.

The Swedish international has been in incredible goalscoring form since his move from Coventry City back in the summer of 2023, registering 87 goals in his 94 appearances.

However, despite their interest, the Reds aren’t alone in their pursuit of the 26-year-old this summer, with Arsenal and Manchester United also in the race for the forward.

Given the nature of the clubs also keen on the talisman, the Forest hierarchy could turn their attention to Evanilson in the coming months, with the Cherries attacker a more than capable alternative.

When comparing his figures with Gyokeres from the ongoing campaign, he’s managed to match or better the Swede in numerous key areas, highlighting how much of an impressive addition he would be.

The “world-class” Cherries ace, as dubbed by content creator Kirk Tovey, may have registered fewer combined goals and assists than Gyokeres, but has managed more shots on target per 90 at a higher accuracy rate – showcasing his accuracy in the final third.

He’s also completed more of the take-ons he’s attempted, whilst also winning more of the aerial duels he’s contested, offering a more all-round centre-forward option than the Sporting star.

Whilst the Swedish international undoubtedly remains as many of the supporter’s first-choice attacking signing this summer, a deal for Evanilson would be just as impressive as seen by the numbers procured this year.

Investment will be needed in various areas of the first-team squad throughout the upcoming window, with funds needed elsewhere, potentially leading the Reds to pursue a move for the Brazilian sensation.

Battling cramp, and a Matt Henry-inspired NZ attack on a green pitch in Wellington, the allrounder held his team together in style

Tristan Lavalette28-Feb-2024Cameron Green stamped himself as Australia’s No. 4 with a brilliant century to defy New Zealand’s all-out pace attack on a challenging surface in Wellington on a compelling opening day of the first Test.In just his fourth innings after being recalled into the team, Green pushed through cramps and reached his second Test ton with a boundary through backward point on the second last ball before stumps. He put a tiring New Zealand attack to the sword late on to finish unbeaten on 103 from 155 balls.In their first Test in New Zealand since 2016, Australia’s rocky innings endured a collapse of 4 for 28, including failures to Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head, after a half-century opening partnership between Usman Khawaja and Steven Smith.Related

But a 67-run stand between Green and Mitchell Marsh, who counterpunched with 40 off 39 balls, steadied Australia who ended the opening day of the two-match series satisfied with their comeback after being sent in.Green had made an anxious start before settling and mixed strong defence with attractive drives. He also was inventive and countered Matt Henry’s prodigious movement by shuffling down the crease.Green, who bats at No. 4 for Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield, reached his half-century in risky fashion when he almost offered a return catch to Tim Southee as the ball went through his hands and sped to the boundary.The decision to shoehorn Green into the line-up after David Warner’s retirement, and also prepare for this series in the Shield rather than playing T20 cricket, has been vindicated.1:59

Malcolm: Green century a vindication of his move to No. 4

Relentlessly bowling outside the off-stump, Henry exploited the pitch well and his standout performance of 4 for 43 from 20 overs was highlighted by a spectacular delivery to knock over Khawaja’s middle stump.The notably green surface quickened up as the day wore on and there was also uneven bounce as Will O’Rourke continued his strong start to Test cricket with potent short-pitched bowling that jumped off a length.New Zealand, having only beaten Australia once from 29 Test matches since 1993, stuck with a seam heavy attack by including Scott Kuggeleijn and deciding against recalling left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner.Australia went in unchanged from the side that suffered a shock eight-run defeat against West Indies at the Gabba last month, sticking with the same frontline attack for the sixth straight Test.In a new era after the retirement of firebrand Neil Wagner, who did re-emerge later in the day as a substitute fielder, New Zealand’s new-look quicks looked to make early inroads against a rejigged Australia top-order still settling into place following the departure of Warner.Continuing a long trend of captains electing to bowl at Basin Reserve, Southee had no hesitation to send Australia in amid overcast conditions.With a gusty breeze behind him, Henry bowled a probing six-over spell with the new ball and was locked in a compelling battle of patience with Khawaja.In his first Test innings as an opener away from home, Smith started nervously before a trademark cover drive to the boundary off a rare loose Southee delivery came as a confidence boost. But having been devoid of the strike, Smith became noticeably edgy again and set off for a risky single only for Khawaja to send him back as he scrambled to the non-striker’s end. Australia appeared poised to make it through the first session unscathed before Smith, his third Test since shifting up the order, nicked off to Henry to end on 31 off 71 as New Zealand carried the momentum into the second session.Matt Henry made Nathan Lyon his fourth victim on the first day•Associated Press

A hesitant Labuschagne was worked over after lunch by Kuggeleijn, who had been hustling into the crease, and he produced an outside edge that was well caught by Daryl Mitchell low to his left at first slip. Having made just 1 off 27 balls, Labuschagne trudged off visibly disappointed as his lean patch continued.Head has recently been feast or famine at Test level and was relieved to get off the mark with a single after a king pair against West Indies at the Gabba. But he did not add to his tally after being undone by the extra pace of O’Rourke to be caught behind off the shoulder of the bat.Marsh was undaunted by Australia’s predicament and started with a first-ball boundary as he continued his remarkable rejuvenation at Test level. He halted New Zealand’s charge before miscuing a pull shot off Henry straight after tea with Alex Carey dismissed shortly after.Australia were in danger of being bowled out for under 200 before Green took control with a statement innings to leave the contest intriguingly poised.

da poker： There will be no domestic trophies for Manchester United this season as they have already been knocked out of the FA Cup and the League Cup, whilst being out of contention for the Premier League.

da fazobetai： Their top-flight season has been particularly disappointing as they are currently sat in 13th place with just ten wins and 12 losses in the division so far.

The Red Devils have struggled in numerous areas, hence why they are so low down in the table, but goalscoring has been a significant problem for Ruben Amorim’s team, as it was for Erik Ten Hag’s.

Manchester United have only scored 37 goals in 29 matches in the Premier League, which is the second-lowest tally (behind Crystal Palace’s 36) in the top 14 teams in the division.

Despite beating Leicester City 3-0 last time out, goalscoring remains a problem for United moving forward and it has been an issue throughout the squad, not just in the forward department.

Why Manchester United have scored so few goals

The Red Devils have created 42.79 xG worth of chances in the Premier League so far this season, which shows that the overall team have underperformed in front of goal.

Essentially, United have not done enough to make the most of the high-quality opportunities that they have created in matches, and that has cost them throughout the season – as evidenced by their goal output and league position.

As you can see in the table above, four of the five players with the most xG in the Premier League for the Red Devils this term have underperformed, with only Amad Diallo elevating the quality of his chances to score two more goals.

These statistics can either suggest that United are creating chances for the wrong players and should be looking to create more for other stars, or that the board – simply – need to invest in the squad to improve their attacking options in the upcoming summer window.

Rasmus Hojlund, signed from Atalanta for £72m in the summer of 2023, is the club’s number nine and has only scored three goals in 24 appearances in the top-flight, underperforming against his xG.

Manchester United are, now, reportedly interested in adding another centre-forward to their ranks in the summer, and that could be very bad news for the Danish marksman.

The latest on Man Utd's pursuit of Bundesliga star

According to Football Insider, Manchester United are one of a number of European sides showing an interest in Eintracht Frankfurt number nine Hugo Ekitike.

The report claims that the Red Devils are planning to add a new striker to their squad in the upcoming summer transfer window, and that they are keeping close tabs on the Bundesliga star.

It adds that Frankfurt will demand a ‘huge’ fee for their centre-forward, although it does not state exactly how much, and reveals that Newcastle United and other ‘elite’ European teams are in the race to secure the former Paris Saint-Germain ace’s signature.

This suggests that Manchester United will face plenty of competition as they plot a swoop to land the France U21 international to bolster their attacking options ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Ekitike, who has been compared to the likes of Alexander Isak and Omar Marmoush, rejected a move to Newcastle in 2022, which suggests that the Red Devils may have the edge over the Magpies in this race unless the 22-year-old forward has changed his mind on a switch to Tynecastle since then.

The news that United are plotting a ‘huge’ swoop to sign the Frankfurt centre-forward should, now, come as very bad news to Hojlund, as it could end his chances of nailing down the number nine position as his own moving forward.

Why signing Hugo Ekitike would be bad news for Rasmus Hojlund

The Denmark international has been competing with Joshua Zirkzee for the striker role this season and they have combined for just six goals between them, which shows that neither of them have been the reliable forward that Amorim has needed.

Because Zirkzee has also struggled for goals, Hojlund has had plenty of chances to start games – starting 17 times in the top-flight – but those opportunities could be limited by the arrival of a new marksman.

Ekitike, who scored a hat-trick against England’s U21s during the break, is a centre-forward who has the potential to nail down the position as his own as a regular starter, leaving Hojlund and Zirkzee feeding on scraps as substitutes or as rotation options in cup competitions.

Analyst Ben Mattinson recently claimed that the 22-year-old star “is one of the best strikers out there” and it is hard to argue with that when you look at his form for club and country.

Along with his hat-trick for France’s U21s, Ekitike has produced 19 goals and eight assists in all competitions for Frankfurt this season, including three goals from 2.58 xG in the Europa League.

As you can see in the table above, the French starlet has significantly outperformed Hojlund at league level so far this term, with ten more goals and four more assists.

These statistics suggest that the Ekitike would come in as a huge upgrade on the Danish marksman and that is why his arrival at Old Trafford in the summer transfer window would be very bad news for the former Atalanta man.

It could result in his game time being heavily restricted, as Amorim may want his best number nine to start week-in-week-out, and that could force the £72m signing to consider his long-term future at the club.

Therefore, Hojlund may hope to enjoy a strong end to the Premier League and Europa League season to show the manager and the board that he has what it takes to be the first-choice, because his form to date suggests that the signing of Ekitike is very much needed.
