XHAKA PARTNER: MATTEO GUENDOUZI KEY TO SUNDERLAND'S TOP-THREE PUSH
Sunderland are reportedly ahead of rivals Newcastle in the transfer race for Lazio's Matteo Guendouzi. Manager Regis Le Bris knows the midfielder well from Lorient.
Sunderland is reportedly in the lead to sign a midfield player that Regis Le Bris knows well, ahead of Newcastle United.
After a loss against Fulham, Le Bris's team definitely wants to bounce back against Bournemouth.
Le Bris said that they have always been able to respond to a loss, and he hopes that will be the case this time also. He says that they are on a new road, facing new opponents and situations, and they need these experiences to get better. He added that they don’t have experience right now, so it is a new lesson, especially when they are trying to figure out problems.
He also mentioned that rotation will happen in a natural way. When they play well, keeping the same starting lineup is important, and it was normal to do that because of the results they had.
If the other games go their way, three points could push the Black Cats up to third place. Those at the Stadium of Light are doing a similar job to what Bournemouth have been doing since they were promoted.
Le Bris said that he admires Bournemouth, stating that Bournemouth is a good example for them, and the way they have grown in the league over the past four seasons is interesting for them.
Sunderland could win their next Wilson Isidor by going after this player in January.
Sunderland might sign Matteo Guendouzi ahead of Newcastle in January.
Sunderland ahead of Newcastle in Guendouzi race
TeamTalk says Sunderland is now ahead of Newcastle in the race to sign Guendouzi in 2026, in a deal that could be worth up to £26m. Le Bris knows the Lazio midfielder from when they were together at Lorient and said that he was still in contact with him a few weeks ago.
It would be a big move if the Black Cats signed a transfer target ahead of their rivals. That's where they are after a great start to the Premier League season.
Sunderland is chasing a reunion between Le Bris and Guendouzi because the Frenchman has been compared to Granit Xhaka so far this season. The transfer report also says that the Black Cats see Guendouzi as the right midfield partner for Xhaka, adding experience to their midfield.
Guendouzi, who was called a great professional by Arne Friedrich, also has something to prove in the Premier League after leaving Arsenal in 2021 and could get a second chance at Sunderland.
£35M LOSS: ANALYZING THE COLLAPSE OF HARVEY ELLIOTT'S MANDATORY VILLA TRANSFER
Harvey Elliott's loan to Aston Villa is ending early after just six months. The mandatory £35M purchase clause is now unlikely to be activated.
Harvey Elliott's time at Aston Villa might be cut short. Just six months after joining the club, he might be leaving in January.
The attacking midfielder came from Liverpool on a season-long loan on deadline day in September.
The deal with Villa included a requirement to buy him, plus clauses about selling him later or buying him back.
But, Elliott hasn't played much since joining Villa, even though they won against other teams in the Premier League and Europe to get him.
Unai Emery said that the club is looking at what to do with the 22-year-old before the next transfer window opens next month.
This comes after Elliott didn't travel with the team for their Europa League game against Basel on Thursday.
Emery talked about Elliott's future at Villa in a press conference before a game.
He said, We're talking with him about his situation.
He's not with us. We hope we can find the best solution for him and for us.
I respect him as a player and as a person. He's training well, but there's a situation with him.
Hopefully, we can find a solution for him to play often and continue his career, either with us or somewhere else.
Elliott has played in only five games for Villa since joining, scoring once.
His last game was a short four-minute appearance against Feyenoord in the Europa League in October.
He hasn't been in the squad for any of Villa's last seven Premier League games.
Emery added, I've spoken with him two or three times about the situation.
First, my decision and also the situation. He's on loan with us, but he's not really contributing to us with a permanent contract.
This is a setback for Liverpool.
Liverpool was supposed to get £35 million when Elliott's loan to Villa became a permanent deal.
But the requirement to buy him kicks in only if he plays in 10 games for the club.
So, the Reds will likely miss out on that money this summer since he's only played about half that many games.
If Elliott leaves Villa, he'll likely have to return to Anfield in January.
The former England under-21 player played twice for Liverpool this season before being loaned out.
FIFA rules say players can only play for two clubs in one season.
Elliott could get around this rule by joining a club in a league that runs from summer to winter, like those in the MLS.
BUNDESLIGA STAR: ANALYZING NATHANIEL BROWN'S FIT FOR TOTTENHAM'S DEFENSE
An analytical look at Nathaniel Brown's Bundesliga performance shows why he is a top target for Spurs. Can they beat out three major rivals for the defender?
According to a recent report from journalist Dean Jones, Tottenham Hotspur will have a tough time signing Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown. Spurs will have to compete with Manchester City, West Ham United, Manchester United, and Arsenal to get the German defender next year.
Brown has played well on Frankfurt’s left side this season. The 22-year-old has one goal and four assists in 20 games for the German club in all competitions.
The German player has shown he can defend well, with 30 tackles, 15 blocks, ten interceptions, and 16 clearances in the Bundesliga. He also passes the ball well from the left, with an 81.3% pass success rate in the German top league (stats via fbref.com).
His contract with the German club ends in the summer of 2030, so it won’t be easy for Tottenham to sign him next year.
Should Tottenham Hotspur Manager Thomas Frank Sign Brown?
Brown is a good tackler and times his challenges well to win the ball back. He clears the ball when the other team is attacking and is also a good passer.
The German player can score and assist goals from the left. Brown is mainly a left-back but can also play as a left-sided midfielder if needed. We’ll see if he can handle the Premier League’s physicality and intensity if Spurs sign him next year.
Brown would make Tottenham manager Thomas Frank’s defence better and deeper. He could earn a regular spot in the first team at the North London club in the years ahead.
At 22, Brown could become a star in English soccer if he keeps improving each season. Overall, Frank should sign him in 2026.
