Manchester City are in the midst of a tense battle to secure the Premier League title as well as being in the mix to secure the Champions League.

Even though Pep Guardiola’s side have some big games left to play, it seems as though a clue has emerged over one potential behind the scenes deal that the club will look to secure in the coming months.

What’s the news?

Journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently took to his Twitter page to share an update regarding the future of City winger Raheem Sterling and the possibility of him signing a new contract with the club.

He said: “Man City have discussed with Sterling on [a] potential new deal.”

The Manchester club signed the winger back in the 2015 summer transfer window from Liverpool in a deal worth a reported fee of £49m.

Since then, the Englishman has gone on to make a total of 333 appearances for the club across all competitions prior to their first-leg semi-final clash against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Guardiola will be delighted

In those games, the 27-year-old has fired in 128 goals and provided 93 assists, winning numerous trophies in the process.

His current contract at the Etihad Stadium is set to expire in the summer of 2023 and thus, penning him down to new terms will surely leave Guardiola elated.

With ten league goals under his belt this season, only Kevin De Bruyne (11) and Riyad Mahrez (11) have found the net on more occasions, showing how important the England international can be for the team.

To further highlight how much of an attacking threat the winger has been in this campaign, he has the highest percentage for shots on target out of any other City player to have more than seven attempts at goal.

Also, only four other players have racked up more shot-creating actions than the former Liverpool ace who has 74 to his name, which is more than the likes of Phil Foden, Ilkay Gundogan and Gabriel Jesus among others.

Taking all of this into account, if the club were able to tie Sterling down with a new contract, this would surely delight Guardiola, who has shared his praise and admiration for the attacker in the past.

Australia’s captain Ricky Ponting has admitted to having one eye on his legacy as he approaches the final years of a formidable Test career

Andrew Miller in Brisbane22-Nov-2010Australia’s captain Ricky Ponting has admitted to having one eye on his legacy as he approaches the final years of a formidable Test career, but insists that his future as an international cricketer will not be dictated by the outcome of the Ashes.Ponting’s place among Australia’s all-time great batsmen is already guaranteed thanks to his national record of 12250 runs in 148 Test appearances, while his credentials as a leader include a tally of 47 victories in 73 Tests as captain, a win-loss ratio that is second only to Viv Richards and Steve Waugh among men who’ve led their country more than 50 times.In addition, Ponting led his side to consecutive World Cup victories in 2003 and 2007, as well as the first Ashes whitewash since 1920-21. Nevertheless, with England launching their latest tour with ominous purpose, Ponting knows he is in danger of being remembered as the first Australian captain since Billy Murdoch in 1890 to lead his country to three Ashes defeats. Given the status of the rivalry between the two countries, that would be an indelible stain on his CV, regardless of his personal achievements.”Of course I’m worried about a legacy, but if it is how I’m remembered, so be it,” he said. “The reason I play the game and cherish the captaincy so much is that I want to make sure the team are in a better position when I leave than when I started. I want to make sure I’ve got a good group of leaders under me when my time comes to move on and that’s why I spend so much time with the younger group. I’m always the first on the training track and the last one to leave, and most of that time is spent helping the younger guys understand different things about the game. Of course I’m worried about the legacy because I want to leave a great legacy for Australian cricket.”There’s not much more I can do,” he added. “I’ll do everything I can to play well and give the team the best chance to win. That’s all I can do and all I’ve ever been able to do. I’m really excited about what I think this group of players is capable of. If we play to our levels for five days, I think we’ll have the results go our way this time. I’m not worried about the other stuff. How I am as captain or player, people will have different opinions.”For all his bravado, Ponting knows that the buzzards are circling. Since launching the last Ashes with a bloody-minded hundred at Cardiff in July 2009, he has managed just one more hundred in 29 Test innings, and even that effort – a masterful 209 against Pakistan at Hobart last year – relied on him being dropped by Mohammad Amir on 0. He turns 36 on December 19, and goes into the Ashes on the back of three consecutive Test defeats against Pakistan and India. Despite his own desire to push on until the 2013 Ashes in England, he knows – like Allan Border and Steve Waugh before him – that selectorial pressure tends to bear down on ageing Australian captains sooner rather than later.In fact, Ponting was already feeling that pressure in England back in July, when he said in an interview: “I’d probably be looking for a new job if we lose [the Ashes] again”. On the eve of the series, however, he played down those remarks. “I said it as a throwaway line that turned into something a bit more than that,” he explained. “I’m probably the wrong bloke to ask. I’m giving myself the best chance possible. I’ve worked pretty hard on the physical side of my game over the last few months, and I just want to enjoy this series for what it is.”This week is the most exciting week you have as an international player,” he added. “The first Test of the summer is always a big one, and when it’s an Ashes series there’s always a little bit extra on the line. I will enjoy this week as much as possible. Hopefully we have a good game, the boys play well and the next few months go to plan. That’s all I can say.”Despite the pressure, Ponting still retains the support of his team-mates, who believe his desire for revenge will be a major motivating factor. “Without a doubt,” said Simon Katich. “We sensed that [during the Test series] in India, which in the past has probably been a tough place for him, but the way he batted – he didn’t get a hundred, but he got three 70s in four innings and he was in ominous form all those times. There’s no doubt he’s primed for a big summer. We’re all disappointed about what happened in England so hopefully that will be a big spur for us to put the past year behind us.”As for the strategy required to wrest the Ashes back from England’s grasp, Ponting was unequivocal. “We have to play at our best for longer periods – simple as that,” he said. “Every series in the last couple of years we’ve played some really good cricket but not for long enough. India is a good example. By not playing that brand of cricket for long enough, we’ve allowed other teams back into the game and they’ve pinched Test matches we should’ve won. That’s the way I look at it and it’s what we spoke about yesterday. If we don’t play five days’ good cricket, we don’t win. We know what we have to do and we’ll train to give ourselves the best chance at Brisbane.”On a personal note, Ponting fully expects to be targeted by England’s bowlers, especially their tall quicks who have noted a susceptibility to the short ball in recent seasons. But, he pointed out, he’s not the only leader in the firing line in this series. “I don’t think I’m any different to [Andrew] Strauss,” he said. “Captains are always expected to be that way, especially if you’re a top-order batter. You need your top order to score consistent runs, and if you’re doing that as captain, captaincy is a bit easier. I don’t see how it’s different from any other series I’ve played in. I’m always expected to score runs and to lead. There has probably been a bit made of that, but I honestly feel it’s been that way the whole time.”

West Bromwich Albion are amongst the plethora of clubs interested in taking on Newcastle starlet Elliot Anderson next season, with the 19-year-old midfielder currently on loan at League Two Bristol Rovers.

What’s the story?

According to TEAMtalk, West Brom, as well as Middlesbrough, Coventry City, Reading and Stoke City, are interested in the young Englishman, who will be allowed to depart on loan again.

The current Gas loanee, whose side are two points off the automatic promotion places in League Two, has heavily impressed for Joey Barton’s side in the second half of the campaign, scoring six goals and registering three assists in 18 league appearances.

Now it seems as though the North East club are keen to allow the attacking midfielder to step up two divisions and go out on loan in the Championship next season.

Albion must swoop for Anderson

At just 19, Anderson has already received some serious praise, particularly from Rovers manager Barton who labelled the youngster as ‘the Geordie Maradona’.

The former Newcastle player also claimed: “Elliot has been brilliant for us from the first day we brought him in.

“I would have paid to watch him tonight, he was that good. He is growing into the shirt and his goal capped an outstanding performance.“Elliot is a huge talent. He excites you and tonight he showed a different gear to be the stand-out player on the pitch.”According to SofaScore, the £180k-rated maestro has been the Gas’ second-best player this term, averaging a 7.07 match rating, only bettered by Antony Evans’ 7.27.The 19-year-old currently averages 63.8 touches a match whilst having 3.3 shots and produces 32.2 passes at an accuracy of 78%.Although Anderson is playing fourth-tier football, his average league rating is only bettered by one current Baggies midfielder in Alex Mowatt, who has averaged a 7.10 rating.However, the Albion midfielder currently averages fewer passes a game at a lower accuracy with 30.7 at 76%, fewer touches at 55.7 and has scored fewer goals in a longer period of time with four in 34 matches.After a thoroughly disappointing first season back in the Championship after last season’s Premier League relegation for West Brom, Steve Bruce and co. will certainly have high aspirations for the next campaign.Therefore, whether signing a player with no second-tier experience will be worthwhile will have to be seen. However, there’s certainly an abundance of talent in the boots of Anderson and a loan move to West Brom could be the ideal next step in his development. Bruce would certainly love him.AND in other news: £10.7m wasted: WBA had howler over “absolute nightmare” who rinsed Peace for 147 weeks

Mark Douglas has now revealed some big Everton news involving both Farhad Moshiri and James Tarkowski.

The Lowdown: Centre-back wanted

The Goodison Park faithful have been linked with moves for the likes of Levi Colwill, Kim Min-Jae and Gleison Bremer in the summer, suggesting that they are after a new central defender.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/everton-news-4/” title=”Everton news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

They have one of the worst defensive records in the Premier League, and Jamie Carragher has even went as far as to claim that they have a ‘Championship back four’ during the embarrassing defeat at Tottenham.

Nonetheless, it is one area that the Merseyside club will surely look to strengthen.

The Latest: Tarkowski eyed

Writing in his latest piece for iNews, journalist Douglas has revealed that Tarkowski has now ’emerged’ as a potential target this summer.

Senior sources at the Toffees have claimed that there is ‘no way’ that Moshiri is going to sell the club, despite Russian links with Alisher Usmanov, and Frank Lampard can ‘expect to be backed’ in the market.

The Verdict: No-brainer

Given the fact that Tarkowski is out of contract at Burnley in the summer, he will be able to leave as a free agent, and so it would be a no-brainer for the Blues to sign him up.

Described as a ‘real leader’ by pundit Noel Whelan, the 29-year-old could be the organiser at the back that Lampard’s team need in order to be more solid and ship fewer goals.

Of course, he has plenty of experience of playing in the top flight, and so should be able to settle in fairly quickly.

In other news, find out which EFC star Manchester United have now ‘discussed’ signing here!

Manchester United have been taking advantage of the break in the season with the World Cup qualifiers taking place to step up their manager search for the next coach to lead the club back to their winning ways this summer.

Unfortunately, they have just been delivered a huge setback with one of their most admired candidates.

What’s the word?

Fabrizio Romano revealed on Wednesday afternoon that Luis Enrique has given an update on his position as the Spain national team manager amid speculation that he could be lined up for the job at Old Trafford this summer.

Romano tweeted: “Luis Enrique is understood to be only focused on Spain, nothing else. He’s lots of admirers in Man United board but it’s described as ‘more than complicated’.”

Glazers will be fuming

If the report from Romano is to be believed, there is no doubt that the Glazers will be fuming that they are struggling to tempt Enrique from his international job with Spain, especially when it is said that he has a lot of admirers on the Man United board.

Thus, it will clearly be a growing frustration for the owners and the club, who are still yet to make a decision.

Enrique is believed to be amongst Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino as front runners for the highly anticipated role, taking over from interim boss, Ralf Rangnick, at Old Trafford this summer. There is a huge project in place to revive the club back to their best, winning trophies after they have now fallen into their longest trophy drought in 40 years.

The 51-year-old manager is a proven winner which we saw throughout his time as Barcelona manager winning a Champions League, Club World Cup and two La Liga titles during his three-year tenure at the Spanish club.

Winning major trophies is something that Manchester United are surely desperate to achieve in the future, and Enrique clearly has the credentials and experience to bring those successes back to Old Trafford. So with that being said, they will either have to settle in defeat or make a more lucrative and tempting offer that the Spanish manager will struggle to refuse.

In other news: “Bad news..” – Fabrizio Romano update is worrying for Manchester United

After managing to snatch a point from being 2-0 down against Manchester United in their latest Premier League match that ended in a 2-2 draw thanks to second-half goals from Jacob Ramsey and Philippe Coutinho, Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa side are currently sat in 13th place in the league table with 23 points from 20 games.

Looking ahead to the second half of the season, it seems as though Gerrard may not have to wait much longer to have one of his squad options back to full fitness, which will surely please a lot of fans at Villa Park.

What’s the news?

In a recent report from Birmingham Live, Villa winger Leon Bailey is set to make a return to action next month after being out of action with a thigh injury he picked up during Villa’s 2-1 defeat against Manchester City back in early December.

On the subject of Bailey, the report quotes Gerrard as saying that the Jamaican international is “progressing well with his rehab,” which should be a big positive for everyone at the Midlands club.

Villa signed the 24-year-old back in the previous summer transfer window from German club Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth a reported fee of £25m.

Since then, the winger has made nine appearances for Villa in the Premier League, scoring one goal and providing two assists in the process, with the first assist coming on his Villa debut during their 3-2 defeat against Watford at the start of the season, showing what a useful attacking option he can be for the team when he’s fit.

Moving forward, if Bailey can get back to full fitness as soon as possible and stay fit for the remainder of his debut campaign at Villa, he could certainly have a big say in whether the team finishes in the top half of the table or not if he manages to add some more goals and assists to his record.

This would surely not only delight a lot of Villa fans but prove to the likes of Johan Lange, Wes Edens and Nassef Sawiris why they were to right to launch a move for Bailey in the first place.

Speaking live on Sky Sports (via Football Daily), reporter Rob Dorsett has shared some ‘breaking’ Tottenham Hotspur transfer news involving Barcelona playmaker Philippe Coutinho.

The Lowdown: Spurs eye Coutinho move?

According to some reports over this last week, the La Liga attacker is firmly on Tottenham’s radar as transfer chief Fabio Paratici aims to back manager Antonio Conte in the winter market.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/spurs-latest-updates-5/” title=”Spurs latest updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Indeed, Mundo Deportivo first claimed that the Brazil international ‘would choose’ a move to north London over fellow suitors Newcastle United.

Soon after, El Nacional shared an update that Spurs are willing to table a £16.7 million bid to sign Coutinho this month as Barca president Joan Laporta seeks a buyer, even adding that the Catalan giants may be forced to cash in due to their financial troubles and the fact nobody will meet their asking price.

The Latest: Sky reporter shares live TV news…

Now, as per Dorsett, speaking on Sky Sports (via Football Daily), there has been an update as the reliable broadcaster’s journalist backs Tottenham’s interest with what he’s been told on Thursday.

Shedding light on the alleged six Premier League sides eyeing a move for the 29-year-old, he explained:

“A bit of breaking news for you, if you like, we’re still checking this one out, but Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle I’ve been told this morning are three clubs amongst those six that are also interested in Philippe Coutinho.”

The Verdict: Get it done?

It is no secret that Spurs have missed Christian Eriksen’s influence as a playmaker since his 2020 departure to Inter, so it is no surprise to us that the Lilywhites are weighing Coutinho.

The South American is a proven player in the English top flight, having enjoyed a prolific spell at Liverpool before his switch to La Liga, and we believe he could genuinely be an astute purchase depending on Barca’s and Coutinho’s demands.

His £380,000-per-week wages could be a stumbling block but Laporta’s eagerness to shift the player could gift Tottenham an advantage in negotiations as they have already been linked with a cut price offer.

This will certainly be interesting to follow but, if Paratici can get it done, it would be a real boost for Conte, adding a player who has racked up 41 goals and 37 assists in 152 previous Premier League appearances.

An exciting update has emerged regarding Newcastle United’s pursuit of Lille defender Sven Botman and their attempts to sign him this month…

What’s the talk?

Journalist David Ornstein has dropped a big claim on the Magpies’ efforts to bring in the 21-year-old from the Ligue 1 outfit, having had one bid rejected already.

He tweeted: “EXCL: Newcastle submit improved offer to Lille for Sven Botman. 21yo is #NUFC’s top centre-back target. Unclear how #LOSC will respond as want to keep but financial situation could make sale necessary if price right. Dutchman keen on move.”

Fans will be delighted

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe will surely be delighted with this update, as it shows that the club are working hard behind the scenes to get him the players that he needs to keep the team in the Premier League. They have not been deterred by a first offer being rejected and have now gone in with another bid, although it remains to be seen whether or not it will be enough to convince Lille to do business.

The Netherlands defender could be an excellent addition to the Magpies’ squad. He has averaged an impressive SofaScore rating of 7.02 in Ligue 1 this season, showing that he can produce consistently high-quality performances in a top division. This suggests that he could be a reliable performer for the former Bournemouth coach to call upon at the back if he is able to adapt to English football..

Ornstein’s claim that Botman is interested in the move will also leave Howe buzzing. It suggests that the player is keen to make the transfer happen and is motivated to come to the Premier League and perform for the Magpies, rather than being someone who needs to be convinced to make the switch and whose heart may not be fully in it.

Newcastle need players who are committed to the cause and ready to battle on the pitch because the table does not make for great reading. They are 19th in the Premier League and need an upturn in results to bring themselves out of the bottom three and secure top-flight safety.

Therefore, Botman being keen on the move could be a huge boost for the Magpies, as it suggests that he is up for the fight and is not deterred by the prospect of a relegation battle.
