ANTOINE SEMENYO CHRISTMAS EVE UPDATE REVEALS ADVANCED TALKS BETWEEN MAN CITY AND BOURNEMOUTH
Antoine Semenyo chooses Manchester City in a 65 million pound move that could send Savinho to Tottenham this January.
Word is, Antoine Semenyo might go to Man City, and that could shake things up for Tottenham and Aston Villa, maybe helping them get the players they want.
David Ornstein from The Athletic said that Semenyo wants to join Man City this January; he has a £65m release clause.
Fabrizio Romano, who knows a lot about transfers, said Man City is trying to wrap up the deal after speeding things up this week.
Romano tweeted that Man City is getting closer to signing Antoine Semenyo soon. The city pushed hard in the last day or so to get talks moving. Semenyo likes Man City the best, even though Man United tried hard, and Chelsea and Spurs are out of the running.
Romano mentioned later that Man City and Bournemouth would talk this week about Antoine Semenyo. The £65m release clause is good until January 10, but Man City will talk to Bournemouth about other ways to structure the deal and payments. Semenyo would rather play for Man City.
If Semenyo goes to Man City, Tottenham might still try to sign Savinho from City, and Aston Villa really wants Brennan Johnson from Spurs.
Man City thought Savinho was worth £61m this summer, but he might not get much playing time if Semenyo comes. Dean Jones told TEAMtalk that Savinho was interested in going to Spurs this summer.
Jones said that Savinho played for 20 minutes against West Ham, but lately, that's about the best he can hope for in the league.
He added that if City signs Semenyo, he thinks Savinho's spot in the team is questionable.
It'll be a tough call because they just gave him a new contract.
Tottenham was interested in him, and he seemed interested because he would be a really good player for them.
The city also has to decide what to do with Oscar Bobb if it gets offers.
But he does think Spurs are still interested in Savinho if they can't get other players like Semenyo, Maghnes Akliouche, and Yan Diomande.
If Tottenham gets Savinho or another winger, then Aston Villa might be able to get Johnson.
TEAMtalk says Aston Villa wants Johnson to add speed and the ability to play different roles to their attack. Harvey Elliott's loan move from Liverpool didn't go well, so it will stop.
Tottenham is okay with selling Johnson permanently or loaning him out. Sources told TEAMtalk that Spurs want £30m-£40m for him.
BARCELONA BACK OUT: PREMIER LEAGUE GIANTS TAKE LEAD IN RUUD NIJSTAD PURSUIT
Ruud Nijstad transfer news: Chelsea, Man City, and Newcastle join the race as Barcelona's €10m deal collapses. Read the latest.
Chelsea, Manchester City, and Newcastle United are all lining up to challenge Barcelona for Ruud Nijstad, one of the most talked-about young defenders in Europe right now.
Nijstad, just 18 and already breaking through at FC Twente, has caught the eye of scouts everywhere. Since making his debut this season, he’s become a hot topic in the recruitment rooms of some of the biggest clubs on the continent.
Barcelona tried to get ahead of the pack. They’ve been in talks for months, hoping to nail down a deal quickly. But here’s the catch: they weren’t willing to pay more than €10 million, at least according to people on the Twente side. And Nijstad himself? He wasn’t sold on the development plan Barcelona pitched. He’s looking for something that’ll really push his career forward, and he didn’t see that in their offer.
That hesitation from Barça has blown the race wide open. Now, more than a dozen clubs are circling. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig have all sent scouts to watch him more than once in the last few weeks.
But honestly, the biggest moves are coming out of England. Chelsea’s owners, BlueCo, and the City Football Group at Manchester City are both working hard to land Nijstad. They’ve got something to offer that stands out: a clear path to the Premier League through their multi-club systems and a long-term plan that’s really attractive to young players. They can actually show Nijstad how he could get from Twente to the biggest stage in English football.
And it’s not just those two. Tottenham, Aston Villa, Brighton, Brentford, and, of course, Newcastle have all been tracking him too, sending scouts over and over to see if his early-season form holds up. So far? The reports have been glowing.
Even though Nijstad only made his senior debut this year, he’s already showing a cool head, smart decision-making, and a maturity you just don’t see often in teenage centre-backs.
Twente have him under contract until 2027 and wants to lock him in for longer. But let’s be real: the biggest clubs in Europe are circling, and now the Premier League giants are getting serious. Twente will fight with their hands to keep one of the Eredivisie’s most promising defenders.
From what we’re hearing, this transfer battle is just getting started. With Barcelona stepping back and England’s heavyweights ramping up, Nijstad’s next stop looks more and more likely to be the Premier League.
REFEREES IN RUINS: WHY ALAN SHEARER THINKS VAR HAS KILLED ON-FIELD DECISION MAKING
Newcastle 3-1 Villa: Read why Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney are furious over the "shambolic" officiating at a VAR-less Villa Park.
Alan Shearer was fuming after a string of questionable calls in Newcastle United’s FA Cup win against Aston Villa, and now a former PGMOL chief has his back. VAR wasn’t in play for any of the fourth-round matches, not even at Premier League grounds, and honestly, you could feel its absence at Villa Park. Newcastle pushed through to round five with a 3-1 win, but the drama around the officiating just wouldn’t quit.
Tammy Abraham’s opening goal for Villa instantly set everyone off. Replays showed he was offside, but the flag stayed down. Then things got messier. Newcastle should’ve had a penalty when Lucas Digne clearly handled the ball in the box, but the referee gave them a free kick instead. Digne also dodged a red card for a nasty high challenge on Jacob Murphy again; the officials let him off easy.
Referee Chris Kavanagh didn’t see Digne’s wild tackle as worthy of a sending off, but Keith Hackett, who used to run the Professional Game Match Officials Board, didn’t hold back. “The challenge by Digne should have received a red card,” he said. “It was clear serious foul play.” Hackett also called out other decisions that went against Newcastle, saying they flat-out got them wrong.
When asked about the missed penalty, Hackett couldn’t hide his frustration. “Oh dear. Referee Chris Kavanagh really should have received appropriate intervention by the assistant to advise that it was in the penalty area,” he told Football Insider.
After the match, Shearer tore into the officiating, especially assistant referee Nick Greenhalgh. “There was maybe a small excuse for the referee to miss that the handball was in the box, and I’m being generous, but there’s no excuse at all for the assistant, who was 10 or 15 yards away,” Shearer said.
He didn’t hold back. “Greenhalgh had an absolute nightmare today. If you ever needed proof of the damage VAR’s done to referees, today’s it. These guys looked terrified to make decisions without their safety net. That’s the damage VAR has done to officials. They’re getting worse, not better. This wasn’t a tough call; it was easy. At this level, you have to give it. There’s no excuse for the assistant not to tell the referee. He got it totally wrong.”
Wayne Rooney, working alongside Shearer for the BBC, was just as angry about the missed penalty. “That decision is one of the worst I’ve ever seen in football,” he said. “Digne was never outside the box; he’s three or four yards inside. The linesman’s right there. You can see exactly where Digne is. The referee blew his whistle and looked like he was listening to someone in his ear, so I’m guessing the linesman made the call, and it’s an absolute shocker.”
