AS Roma eyeing Lucas Moura

Italian giants AS Roma are considering a summer move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Lucas Moura, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

The Giallorossi are in the market for attacking reinforcements after Mohamed Salah was sold to Liverpool and they see the Brazilian as a very good option.

It is believed that Paris Saint-Germain would consider offers in the region of €30 million for the player who has another two years left on his current deal.

Lucas Moura hopes to leave Parc des Princes this summer in search of regular first team football and he is likely to be tempted by the interest from AS Roma.

The Brazilian had snubbed an offer from Manchester United to join the Saints in January 2013, and he went on to score 33 goals in 148 league appearances.

According to Marca, Spanish side are interested in acquiring the services of Manchester United defender . The 20-year-old, who spent last season on loan with Crystal Palace, hasn t been able to break his way into the first team at Old Trafford. As we look ahead to the new season it doesn t seem as if he s going to feature in Jose Mourinho s plans, and as a result, Valencia reportedly believe that United have already started looking elsewhere for someone to take TFM s place.

Valencia enjoyed a relatively successful season last year, finishing 4th in La Liga whilst also making it to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. As they continue to build a strong core throughout their squad, the introduction of Dutch international Fosu-Mensah could provide them with just the boost they ne…

Mauricio Pochettino wants Chelsea to be ‘naughty’

Mauricio Pochettino has told Chelsea’s players they need to be more naughty if they are to reach the level required to move on from an indifferent start to the season.

The team have dominated for long periods in all four Premier League games so far but defensive errors and a continued lack of penetration in attack have meant they have picked up just four points and sit 12th.

Defeat at home to Nottingham Forest before the international break was a microcosm of the side’s early struggles under Pochettino, with the visitors’ Anthony Elanga allowed to run freely through the heart of Chelsea’s defence to score the game’s only goal before striker Nicolas Jackson skied a gilt-edged chance to rescue a point.

The following injury update has been provided ahead o…

During that spell at the AFAS Stadion, Advocaat guided the club to a fifth-place finish in the league.

He replaces Gertjan Verbeek, who lost his job just a day after his side had beaten PSV 2-1 in September.

Advocaat has been without a club since ending his second spell in charge of PSV at the end of last season.

The 66-year-old has had a distinguished managerial career, taking charge of the likes of Rangers, Borussia Monchengladbach and Zenit St Petersburg, a…
