SAVINHO’S SHOCK TRANSFER REQUEST JUST IN: TOTTENHAM READY TO POUNCE IN JANUARY

Savinho is reportedly set to leave Man City in January. REVEALED: How Rayan Cherki’s form forced the Brazilian out.

Savinho’s SHOCK Transfer Request JUST IN: Tottenham Ready to Pounce in January
Savinho's Departure REVEALED

Man City might get some new players in January, but lately, everyone's been talking about who might leave. James Trafford might go since he's not playing much, and now it sounds like the same could happen with Savinho.

It's been a tough season for the Brazilian winger. He hasn't played much because Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku, and Rayan Cherki have been playing really well. He's only started four Premier League games, which isn't helping his chances of getting into Brazil's team for the 2026 World Cup.

Savinho might leave Man City because he's not getting enough chances.

According to Football Insider, Mick Brown said Savinho might leave Man City when the transfer window opens in January.

“I wouldn’t be shocked if Savinho left City in January. He’s basically a backup now because Cherki came in and did great right away, and Doku and Foden have both gotten better.

“Savinho is a great player, but he’s not getting better or becoming a regular starter. Guardiola doesn’t think he should start over the other guys, so if they get an offer, they might let him go.

“I bet he’s annoyed that he’s not playing as much as he wants to. After City worked so hard to keep him, he probably thought he'd be a big part of the team, but that hasn't happened yet.

“If he gets another chance to leave Man City and play regularly for another good team, he’ll definitely want to do it. But it depends on the city and if they're willing to let him leave.”

What should Man City do with Savinho?

Savinho is really talented, but he doesn't fit into Man City's plans right now. It looks like he's going to leave, which is good news for Tottenham. They still want to sign him after trying to get him this summer.

VAR REVIEW: CHELSEA 2-2 BOURNEMOUTH, ESTêVãO PENALTY DRAMA EXPLAINED! WAS IT A FOUL OR A DIVE

Explaining the VAR: How an 11th-minute penalty check at Stamford Bridge saved a point for Chelsea against a resilient Bournemouth.

Antoine Semenyo’s clumsy challenge handed Chelsea a vital lifeline

Every week, the Video Assistant Referee stirs up drama in the Premier League. Let's break down how these calls are made and if they're actually right.

This season, we're digging into the big moments to explain the VAR process and the rules of the game.

What went down: Chelsea's Estêvão was moving into the Bournemouth box, with Antoine Semenyo on his tail. Estêvão went down after some contact with Semenyo. The ref, Barrott, waved off Chelsea's penalty shouts, saying there wasn't a foul. He thought both players made contact naturally as they were running, and Estêvão basically tripped himself.

VAR said, "After looking at it, VAR Pawson suggested Barrott take another look at the monitor for a possible penalty because Semenyo might have tripped Estêvão."

VAR's take: Pawson had to figure out if the contact was just part of the play, like the ref thought, or if Semenyo fouled Estêvão. It was clear Estêvão tripped, but the question was how the contact started.

At first glance, it would be hard for Pawson to disagree with the ref because the main TV angle wasn't clear. But after checking out the sideline and behind views, Pawson saw that Semenyo stepped into Estêvão's path, making enough contact with his leg to cause him to trip.

Pawson told Barrott to check the monitor for a possible penalty. Barrott watched the replays, agreed, and gave Chelsea the penalty.

The call: It was a reasonable VAR call based on today's standards. But it's a borderline case.

Barrott seemed unsure of the monitor and needed some convincing from different angles.

A lot of the time, this kind of contact is just from players running normally, and someone goes down. To give a penalty, there really needs to be a clear foul by the defender. You could say that happened here, but it's a pretty low standard for VAR to get involved.

BREAKING: UNAI EMERY REVEALS THE REAL REASON BEHIND HIS COLD ARTETA HANDSHAKE SNUB NOW

Unai Emery explains why he skipped the post-match handshake as Arsenal’s 4-1 win ends Aston Villa’s 11-game streak at the Emirates.

Emery snubs Arteta's handshake

Unai Emery said he didn't shake Mikel Arteta's hand right after Aston Villa lost at the Emirates Stadium since the Arsenal manager kept him waiting.

This loss stopped Villa's winning streak at 11 games, their first in almost two months.

Villa held their own in the first half, but Arsenal scored early in the second when Gabriel got to the ball before Emi Martinez on a corner.

Martin Zubimendi quickly made it 2-0, and Leandro Trossard scored a third goal a little after an hour had passed.

Soon after entering the pitch, Gabriel Jesus scored, making it 4-0. Ollie Watkins was able to respond by tapping in a goal late in the game after Donyell Malen's nice play.

After the game, Emery waited to shake Arteta's hand, but he went to the locker room since Arteta was still celebrating with his team.

It’s easy to see. I like to do things fast,” Emery said when asked about why he didn’t shake Arteta’s hand.

“I shake hands, then I go to the dressing room with my players and coaches. I was waiting.

“Arteta was busy with his coaches, so I went inside. It’s not a big deal for me.”

About the match, Emery commented, “We played great in the first half, and things were going our way. We had corners and defended well. We didn’t let them get a corner in the first half.

“We felt good, but we let in the first goal in the second half. Onana getting hurt didn’t help since he’s important for set pieces and in the midfield.

“We didn’t quit, and we kept playing hard. We scored one goal and almost scored more. Arsenal is the best team in the league and should win the title.

“I’m not sure which day it is since we’ve played Arsenal twice already, and we still have to play Nottingham. But I’m happy with our goals and how we're trying to attain them.
