According to the latest reports, Premier League giants Liverpool and Manchester United will compete for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkes in January. The 21-year-old player transferred to the Cherries from AZ Alkmaar for a fee of 17.87 million euros in the summer of 2023. This Hungarian defender has been impressive this season at Bournemouth, achieving an 82% pass accuracy rate in the Premier League and averaging 4.4 interceptions per game. Additionally, Kerkez likes to make forward runs and deliver crosses into the box, which has resulted in him contributing 8 assists and 5 goals in 57 matches for Bournemouth. According to Caught Offside, both Liverpool and Manchester United are looking for a quality left-back in January, and Milos Kerkez is one of their top targets. However, it is reported that Bournemouth will demand 50 million pounds to part ways with the Hungarian player. Although Liverpool has two excellent left-backs in Robertson and Tsimikas, the former is already 30 years old. Head coach Arne Slot seems keen on signing Kerkez as a future reinforcement. Ruben Amorim's team is lacking in left-back options, with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia also lacking form and fitness. Last season, both spent most of their time receiving treatment, and this season they have struggled to make an impact. This season, Shaw and Malacia have played in 3 and 5 club games respectively. So far, neither has scored for Manchester United. According to Caught Offside, other Premier League teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur are also monitoring Kerkez's situation. However, Manchester United and Liverpool are the…

Here is the translation of the article content into English: The year 2025 has arrived, and we look forward to Inter Milan continuing to bring joy to their fans. Attention Premier League big spenders, Inter Milan is willing to sell their substitute ace, Francesco Forte, for a price of 45 million euros. According to Italian media RadioRadio, Forte is dissatisfied with his current situation and hopes to get more playing opportunities. Inter Milan is willing to sell Forte, valuing him at 45 million euros. In the past four Serie A league matches, Inter Milan scored 3-1, 6-0, 2-0, and 3-0, respectively. Forte sat on the bench twice, came on late once, and only played for 10 minutes in another match. In the game where Inter Milan lost 0-1 to Bayer Leverkusen, Forte played for 66 minutes but performed unsatisfactorily. Forte's transfer initially faced some skepticism from Inter Milan fans, with some saying he was overpriced and just a younger version of Matias Vecino. Inter Milan spent 24 million euros to buy Vecino from Fiorentina, who eventually left as a free agent. Vecino played 127 times for Inter Milan, scoring 13 goals and providing 7 assists, but his tendency to make forward runs wasn't particularly favored by coach Simone Inzaghi. Forte shares some similarities with Vecino. In the 2022-2023 season, he played 37 times for Sassuolo, scoring 7 goals with no assists, and his passing and defensive abilities were average. Marotta has a good relationship with the Sassuolo management, and Inter Milan sent youth forward Andrea Murgia to Sassuolo in exchange…

Brentford Challenges Arsenal, Outcome Uncertain!‌ At 1:30 AM Beijing time on January 2nd, Brentford will face Arsenal at home. This is a highly anticipated Premier League match, with both teams being strong contenders in their respective leagues. So, who will ultimately come out on top in this clash? Here's today's analysis of the game. Currently ranked seventh in the Premier League, Brentford has a noticeable gap from Arsenal in the standings. However, the team has been in good form recently, with high morale. Brentford's main issue lies in defensive vulnerabilities, but they boast several capable players in attack, making their offensive power not to be underestimated. The biggest advantage for Brentford in this match is playing at home, where they have achieved an impressive record of four wins and one draw in their last five home games. Arsenal, currently third in the Premier League, has shown overall stability. The team has a balanced lineup with outstanding players on both offense and defense, including top forwards like Aubameyang and Lacazette. However, Arsenal's away form has been somewhat inconsistent, with their last two away matches ending in draws. Therefore, the biggest challenge for Arsenal in this match is how to adjust their state and secure a victory away from home. The disparity in strength between the two sides is clear, with Arsenal's overall strength far surpassing that of Brentford. Especially considering Arsenal also has the advantage of playing at home, they are eager to bounce back after being defeated by Chelsea and boost morale with a win. Thus, facing Brentford presents an…

Teng Hahe was sacked, and when Manchester United finalized Amorim, the prospects were promising. At that time, Amorim, who coached the Portuguese Super League defending champion Sporting Portugal, won consecutive victories in the Portuguese Super League and the Champions League, leading the Portuguese Super League standings strongly, and on the Champions League stage, they defeated Manchester City 4-1. In the 16th round of the Premier League, it was the first Manchester Derby in Amorim's coaching career, leading Manchester United to defeat Guardiola's team, the defending Premier League champions, 2-1 away from home. Also favored was Amorim's favorite player at Sporting Portugal, Yorkres. When Teng Hahe coached before, Manchester United had long been in a state of weak attack. In the ninth round of the Premier League, Manchester United lost 1-2 to West Ham United away from home, which was Teng Hahe's last game before being sacked. At that time, Manchester United had 3 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses in 9 games, accumulating 11 points, ranking 14th in the Premier League standings. In 9 games, Manchester United scored 8 goals and conceded 11, with their attacking power ranking third from the bottom among the 20 teams in the Premier League, only scoring 2 more goals than Crystal Palace and Southampton during the same period. If Amorim can bring his former protégé Yorkres from Sporting Portugal to Manchester United during the winter window, can the Red Devils' offense be greatly improved? The honeymoon period between Amorim and Manchester United has passed, and it seems that there was never a honeymoon to…

Just last season, a few months ago, Manchester United's genius new star Kobe Menu was still the standout in the team. This young man played his part in England's rise to the final of the 2024 European Cup during an outstanding season in his first participation in high-level football matches. In November 2023, Erik ten Hag belatedly brought this local youngster into the Manchester United squad for the first time, starting him in the Premier League match against Everton after he was injured in the preseason. Menu's performance as the best player in the Premier League at Goodison Park set the tone for his personal glory in the 2023/24 season. For this graduate of the Manchester United youth academy, a significant highlight came in February when Menu locked down all three points for the team in dramatic circumstances against Wolves. He cleverly weaved through the home team's defense and then sent the ball into the corner of the goal with elegance. A Premier League star was born. However, this talented midfielder returned to Molineux Stadium on Boxing Day, embodying the rookie wall problem that any young player often encounters. In the disappointing 2024/25 season so far, 19-year-old Menu has performed poorly. In his 50th appearance for the first team, Menu looked like a shadow of the player who shone last season. As Samuel Luckhurst said, Menu struggled in midfield. Now deployed in midfield alongside summer signing Manuel Ugarte, this Manchester United youth talent seems somewhat behind the pace, winning only twice in eight duels, failing to complete a dribble, and…

Manchester City's 2-0 victory over Leicester City undoubtedly provided them with some relief, especially considering their recent form. However, the focus of this match extended beyond just the win. The biggest news from the game was not about City's relentless attack or their solid defense, but rather the absence of their record signing, Jack Grealish, who did not play a single minute despite his €120 million price tag. Grealish, the most expensive player in Manchester City's history, remained on the bench throughout the match. Despite the significant investment in him, he has failed to score any goals and even his assist count is limited. His last goal for City was against Crystal Palace in December 2022, and nearly a year later, he has yet to rediscover his form. Pep Guardiola chose not to use one of his substitutions on Grealish, which has led to questions about the player's future at the club. Some fans have suggested that Guardiola may no longer trust Grealish, and if this continues, it could spell trouble for the midfielder's career at City. The team's performance in the match was strong, with City controlling the game and securing a victory after a series of impressive combinations led to their first win in six matches. However, the spotlight remains on Grealish's lack of involvement. There are concerns that Grealish's personal life may be affecting his professional performance, with rumors suggesting that he is too relaxed off the field. This, coupled with his lackluster on-field displays, has raised doubts about his ability to regain his previous level of…

In the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester United suffered a two-goal defeat at home to Newcastle, marking their third consecutive loss in the league and their fifth defeat in the last six matches. Despite still ranking 14th, they are increasingly distant from the Champions League spots while inching closer to the relegation zone. Relegation? A topic that seemingly should not exist has suddenly become a reality for Manchester United. Captain Fernandes was suspended due to a red card, and Ugaite was also absent due to accumulated yellow cards, leaving a "vacuum" in Manchester United's midfield. Casemiro and Eriksen, both 32-year-old "veterans," were forced to start together. With two nearly identical header goals, Newcastle managed to crush Manchester United in less than 20 minutes, leaving Amorim with no choice but to substitute Zirkzee at the 33rd minute. The Dutch forward shed tears as he left the field. The tears flowed not only on the players but also filled the hearts of the fans. In eight Premier League games under Amorim, the team only managed two wins, one draw, and five losses, a record as poor as their city rivals, Manchester City, making the two Manchester teams the worst "twin bears" in the Premier League. Statistics show that throughout 2024, Manchester United accumulated only 51 league points, setting a new record for the worst performance in their Premier League history. If it weren't for Van Nistelrooy's temporary coaching stint that earned them four points, and if they hadn't made a comeback against Manchester City, they would have already fallen into…

The Christmas schedule of the 2024/25 Premier League season is in full swing. In the previous round of the Premier League, there were many upsets, with four of the BIG6 giants experiencing setbacks. Only Liverpool and Arsenal managed to secure victories, indicating a significant change in the league's landscape this season. Despite undergoing a coaching change, Liverpool has maintained a super-stable state and emerged as the top contender for the title. On December 30th at 1:15 AM Beijing time, Liverpool will face West Ham United away in the 19th round of the Premier League, with coach Slott aiming to lead Liverpool to their second Premier League trophy in club history. Last season, Liverpool experienced a collapse following Klopp's public announcement of his departure, only managing to win the League Cup while missing out on the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup titles. This summer, Liverpool welcomed Dutch coach Slott, who did not opt for major adjustments to the squad but instead chose to retain the main lineup left by Klopp. This continuity in tactics has made Liverpool the most stable team in the Premier League this season, demonstrating Slott's wise decision-making. Liverpool has recently gone unbeaten in 23 consecutive matches across all competitions, achieving an impressive record of 20 wins and 3 draws. They have won all six matches in the Champions League, topping the group, advanced to the quarter-finals of the League Cup with three consecutive victories, and remained unbeaten in 13 rounds of the Premier League. Currently, they sit atop the league table with 42 points from…

As the year 2024 comes to an end and 2025 approaches, the winter transfer window for the Premier League is about to open. According to British media reports, six players from the English Premier League giants Manchester United will have their contracts expire at the end of the season, and they will be able to freely negotiate with overseas non-English clubs for a free transfer starting from January 1st. For Manchester United and their new coach Ruben Amorim, they will face challenges and need to make some significant decisions about their future. Among these six players, four are expected to stay, while two are likely to leave. Amad Diallo is the first on the list, the 22-year-old player has become a key player under the guidance of Portuguese coach Ruben Amorin, scoring two goals and providing five assists in 10 games. It is understood that Manchester United has an option to extend Diallo's contract by another year, but they definitely hope to reach a new long-term contract with this winger. Multiple sources report that discussions are underway, and both Amorim and Diallo have made their positions clear. "I think he wants to stay, and we also want him to stay, so it's clear, we will find a solution," Amorim said earlier this month. Diallo also admitted last month: "I am very happy to be here. I am very happy to play for this club, yes, I want to stay here for a long time and create history with this club." Harry Maguire is another player whose contract expires at the…

Three key players from the Chinese men's football team are set to join the top five European leagues. This could be a "glorious moment for Chinese football" or "another shattered dream in Europe." In recent years, when it comes to "Chinese footballers going abroad," many people send them off with high hopes but can't help sighing in disappointment. After Wu Lei's journey in La Liga ended, there was a wave of emotion, "Can't Chinese football really find a few promising talents capable of making it in Europe?" Amidst the doubts, Chinese football fans received new news: three young Chinese players, Liang Shaowen, Lu Yongtao, and Xue Qinghao, are about to join Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Premier League. If all goes well, they will become the latest batch of Chinese players to step into Europe's top five leagues. However, the question arises: will these three be able to stand firm and fight for the honor of Chinese football? Or will they follow in the footsteps of some predecessors, starting strong but ultimately fading away? Before analyzing these three young players, we must first understand the background player, Wolverhampton Wanderers. Why does Wolves have a preference for signing Chinese players? There's more to it than simply "discovering geniuses." In recent years, Wolves' attention to Chinese players has intensified, from Dai Weijun to He Zhenyu, and now forming a strategic partnership with Nantong Zhiyun. It's clear that they're playing a big game. Let's look at the issue from another angle: China, with its vast fan market, attracts countless European clubs. According to…
