Chelsea have internally 'spoken about' Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti potentially becoming Blues manager, says CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs.

Who have Chelsea got on their shortlist?

According to The Independent, Burnley boss Vincent Kompany and ex-Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino are serious contenders to take over at Stamford Bridge and have made the final four of their managerial shortlist.

Julian Nagelsmann was also believed to be in the running to succeed Graham Potter permanently; however, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano revealed last week that he had pulled out of the race, stating on Twitter:

"Julian Nagelsmann has now withdrawn from the race to become the new Chelsea head coach — it looks like it’s his final decision. German coach is said to be no longer available after multiple round of talks. Nagelsmann was top candidate for the job."

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou is also a surprise candidate for the role and has cropped up as an outsider on the list of candidates to become Chelsea's new head coach, as per The Guardian.

Journalist Rudy Galetti has also claimed that Napoli boss Spalletti is one to watch, saying on Twitter: “For the Blues, let’s keep an eye also on Spalletti."

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, reporter Jacobs said: "Luciano Spalletti is another name that has been spoken about. But at the moment, he's fully focused on Napoli and winning the Scudetto, and is not necessarily attainable, therefore, to approach or speak to at this point. So Chelsea do want to move in the coming weeks to get that name.

"Because even if that name starts next season, they still want to lock down the name, which helps stabilise the club. And then there's a name that they can take in the coming weeks into the transfer market ahead of the window opening which is important as well. But this has always been about Chelsea not rushing."

Who should Chelsea appoint as manager?

Chelsea have endured a disastrous Premier League campaign in 2022/23 and sit in the bottom half of the table with only seven matches left to play.

Caretaker boss Frank Lampard has also been unable to steady the ship in west London since taking over from Potter, losing his first four matches in charge at Stamford Bridge.

That leaves the question of who Chelsea should appoint as manager and who is likely to have the best chance of turning their fortunes around. On the one hand, Spalletti has certainly caught the attention of many around Europe this season, leading Napoli to within one victory and a Lazio defeat away from officially being crowned Serie A champions.

The 64-year-old's preference to play on the front foot would impress Chelsea supporters; nevertheless, his lack of any Premier League experience may turn some towards other potential candidates.

And his style of play in Serie A has seen him hailed as a "genius" by his star striker Victor Osimhen.

Former Spurs boss Pochettino has plenty of experience in the English top-flight due to his time in north London. His ability to nurture young talent is also likely to appeal to the masses as Chelsea look to develop their youthful squad in the coming years.

Other contenders also have distinctive qualities; however, the Blues may elect to turn to a household name to get The Bridge rocking again. Either way, it will be an interesting few weeks ahead as we get closer to knowing who the new Chelsea boss will be.

Crystal Palace are one of several teams closely monitoring the availability of Flamengo midfielder Matheus Franca.

What’s the latest on Matheus França to Crystal Palace?

According to AS, the South London outfit, as well as Real Madrid, Lyon, Newcastle, and Bayer Leverkusen are all keenly tracking the 19-year-old.

The outlet revealed that the Brazilian's current contract runs until 2028, and he has a termination clause of a whopping €200m (£176m) but Palace are still “determined” to find an agreement for the player.

The Eagles hierarchy had reportedly sent a representative across the globe to scout Franca in Flamengo's 2-0 Copa Libertadores victory over Nublense at the Maracana.

However, this talent has a range of admirers and Los Blancos have supposedly followed this saga since 2021, whilst Newcastle and Leverkusen have had offers of around €20m (£18m) rejected.

To the delight of Palace fans, it has been suggested that the Flamengo board “does not look badly” on opening negotiations with the English side.

What would Matheus Franca bring to Crystal Palace?

The playmaker made his senior debut for Flamengo in December 2021 in a Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A match against Santos.

In his homeland, he established a hugely popular and esteemed reputation and is considered one of Mais querido do Brasil’s finest young products after Real Madrid phenom Vinicius Junior.

The £4m-rated prodigy has also represented Brazil at various youth levels, including the U16, U17, and U20 levels.

To showcase his ridiculous gift, 30 games into last season, Franca had registered 29 goal contributions, which led football scout Jacek Kulig to describe the player as “one of the most exciting teenagers in Brazil”, who can “play almost everywhere.”

His pace, unteachable skill, close control, and agility would perfectly complement fellow playmaker Eberechi Eze, who is another maestro brimming with irresistible mastery.

The Englishman has recorded the second-highest rating (6.94) of any Palace player this season and is the club’s top league scorer with eight goals, as per WhoScored.

The 24-year-old has also created 42 chances in all competitions this season at a rate of 1.27 per 90 to underline his formidable creativity.

The Eagles have only netted 31 top-flight goals this term, which is the 14th lowest in the division, so an injection of the Brazilian's dynamism, alongside the graceful and unparalleled natural ability of Eze, could be an unrelenting partnership.

However, this saga remains a hotly contested race and Palace would do tremendously to beat off the interest from other European giants who are also eyeing a summer move.

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold being used as an inverted full-back has been a success so far for Jurgen Klopp's side, according to journalist Pete O'Rourke.

What's the latest news involving Trent Alexander-Arnold?

Alexander-Arnold has put in some impressive displays in his new role and the switch is bearing fruit for Liverpool, as he has notched six assists in his last five Premier League matches, as per Transfermarkt.

As per Sky Sports, Reds boss Klopp has commented on the impact the £180k-a-week ace has made in his fresh role, stating: "We've always known he has the potential to do it. But, to play a role, it's not about a player. It's about having the whole system in place. You have to set it up. We have to train."

Liverpool have also remained unbeaten in the five fixtures that Alexander-Arnold has featured as an inverted full-back, demonstrating that they have adapted to this change in functional style.

The Liverpool Echo cite that Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk has also spoken about how Klopp's tactical alteration has benefited his side, saying: "It's a work in progress, but we all like it. We all have to be able to change in times and sometimes Trent has to drop, whereas sometimes he has to go higher. Other players then have to drop, so we keep working on it and I think the manager has been saying it many times with the counter-pressing, everyone comes across, makes the pitch as small as possible and we have a big chance to win it back if we lose it. Everyone has to feel the freedom in possession to feel important, so that is what we have to do."

In 2022/23, Alexander-Arnold has made 46 appearances for the Reds in all competitions, registering three goals and nine assists, as per Transfermarkt.

Speaking to Football FanCast, journalist O'Rourke thinks that Liverpool may have taken inspiration from the way Manchester City and Arsenal also operate in similar systems.

O'Rourke told FFC: "Obviously, other teams have had success doing it. Arsenal and Manchester City have both had full-backs moved into midfield as well. Maybe it's something that Jurgen Klopp has noticed and he's going to give Trent a go at it and so far it's paid off."

Why has Jurgen Klopp chosen to move Trent Alexander-Arnold into a new role?

Many modern-day sides operate with inverted full-backs because it affords more license for them to get forward and cause problems. At the same time, it also helps to isolate wingers one-on-one with opposition defenders.

In the case of Liverpool, this means that Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo, for instance, have more opportunities to get on the ball and advance into dangerous attacking phases rather than being forced to turn back into trouble and start moves all over again.

Of course, the fallback of having full-backs pushed up into midfield at times can be the space that is left to be exploited in behind; however, Klopp has been able to counter this by situating the likes of Fabinho or Jordan Henderson in front of the defence, as seen in Liverpool's recent 4-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

It is a system not without its flaws; however, Alexander-Arnold has enjoyed a marked improvement in consistency over the last few games and this may give Klopp food for thought heading into 2023/24.

Ryan Mason takes charge of his second game as Tottenham Hotspur's interim manager and it doesn't get any easier as they face Liverpool at Anfield this afternoon.

The north London outfit may harbour slim top-four aspirations but will be at risk of dropping to sixth place with a defeat as that would see the home side leapfrog them in the standings.

There is certainly some cause for optimism under the 31-year-old after he inspired a two-goal comeback against Manchester United in midweek, though with few players back from injury, it will be interesting to see what sort of side he selects today.

How will Spurs lineup vs Liverpool?

Fraser Forster is set to resume his duties between the sticks with usual no.1 and captain Hugo Lloris still absent through injury. However, there could be alterations to the backline in front of him.

Eric Dier has struggled for form and consistency in recent outings and is one candidate that could be taken out of the firing line, especially as he'd be set to come up against players like Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez.

Instead, Japhet Tanganga – who was once hailed as a "huge talent" by podcaster Chris Miller – could come into the fray for only his third league start of the season as he'd offer far more pace and dynamism than his fellow Englishman.

The 24-year-old made his Premier League debut against the Reds back in January 2020 and his performance saw Jurgen Klopp claim that he was "very impressive," so perhaps he could look to repeat such exploits once again.

Cristian Romero and Clement Lenglet both keep their place, with the latter taking up Dier's central role as the ball-playing quarterback. Pedro Porro should also continue on the right flank, with Emerson Royal absent through injury, whilst Ben Davies may be preferred to Ivan Perisic due to his defensive qualities.

In midfield, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could be joined by Pape Matar Sarr, instead of Oliver Skipp in the third and final change, as the young Senegalese gem can provide more box-to-box qualities than the Hotspur Way graduate.

He has also impressed in big matches with what little game time he's seen. Sarr was arguably the 'best player on the pitch' against AC Milan at the San Siro, so starting at Anfield shouldn't bother him one bit.

Meanwhile, further up the pitch, Mason is left with a tough dilemma – does he stick with Richarlison or opt for Dejan Kulusevski?

The Brazilian forward was hooked after just an hour but he could keep his place alongside Heung-min Son and Harry Kane. The former Everton star will know more than most what it's like to play against Liverpool, so he could well be very motivated to score his first league goal for the club back in Merseyside.

Predicted Spurs XI (3-4-3): Forster; Tanganga, Lenglet, Romero; Davies, Hojbjerg, Sarr, Porro; Son, Richarlison, Kane

Liverpool extended their winning run in the Premier League to five matches as they beat Marco Silva’s Fulham side 1-0 at Anfield on Wednesday night.

The Reds took the lead shortly before half time as Darwin Nunez robbed Issa Diop of the ball before going down in the box to win a penalty, which Mohamed Salah dutifully dispatched past Bernd Leno from 12 yards.

Jurgen Klopp’s side had chances to increase their lead and racked up 1.73 xG – to the opposition’s 0.69 – but they ended the game with Salah’s goal turning out to be the winner.

Whilst the Egypt international scored the only goal on the night, a hero alongside the forward for Klopp’s team was right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold as he produced another excellent performance in his new role.

How did Trent Alexander-Arnold perform against Fulham?

The England international was exceptional against the Cottagers and dictated the match by drifting inside into central areas to dominate the ball and control the flow of the game with his superb range of passing.

As per Sofascore, the maestro had a whopping 122 touches of the ball and completed 80% of his 93 attempted passes along with two of his five attempted crosses, whilst creating one ‘big chance’.

Journalist Sam McGuire claimed that Liverpool have “created a monster” in Alexander-Arnold by allowing the academy graduate the freedom to alternate between his usual right-back position and a central midfield role.

This has been a genius move by Klopp as it has allowed the Englishman to make the most of his technical ability in possession instead of being reduced to only receiving the ball out wide.

However, the £180k-per-week gem did not shy away from the defensive side of the game. As per Sofascore, the dynamo made three tackles, two interceptions, two clearances, and one block.

He also won five of his eight (63%) individual battles with these statistics showing that the 24-year-old had an excellent game at both ends of the pitch.

Alexander-Arnold, who lost the ball 26 times in his attempts to get his team on the attack, was able to combine his quality with aggression and efficiency out of possession to piece together a superb showing that stood out ahead of the rest of his outfield colleagues.

He recorded the highest Sofascore rating (8.2) in the match, with Salah (7.8) second, on the night, which adds further proof that the decision to alter his role in the system has been a game-changing call by Klopp.

As writer Joel Rabinowitz noted, the Liverpudlian is back to “bossing games with a swagger.” As such, it’s no surprise that the club’s return to form has coincided with the right-back’s transformation.

Aston Villa have sent scouts to watch RC Lens defender Kevin Danso, according to 90min.

What’s the latest Aston Villa transfer news involving Danso?

It looks set to be a busy summer at Villa Park ahead of Unai Emery’s first season in charge, with NSWE ready to back the manager with a “huge” spending spree.

There has been speculation this month that Villa are planning an ambitious double swoop for attackers Dusan Vlahovic and Ferran Torres. However, defensive reinforcements also appear to be on the agenda, with rumours now linking the club with a move for Danso in the last 48 hours.

90min reporters Graeme Bailey and Jack Gallagher shared transfer updates on three Lens players on Tuesday evening, one of which was Danso. They stated that Aston Villa sent scouts to watch Lens’ 2-1 win over Marseille on Saturday, with Danso attracting particular interest from Villa officials.

Should Villa sign Danso?

Danso is primarily a centre-back who can also turn out at right-back or left-back and appears to be at the top of his game with a career-high €16m Transfermarkt valuation.

The 24-year-old has been labelled as “big” and “powerful” by Adam Leitch and has 13 senior caps for Austria. He even has previous Premier League experience following a loan spell with Southampton, making 10 appearances for the Saints back in 2019/20.

90min say how “Danso has been the main man in a defence which has conceded a Ligue 1 low of just 26 goals in 34 games”, and his recent display should have impressed Villa officials. As per SofaScore, Danso was the best-rated defender from either side, making five clearances, two tackles and blocking two shots. He even contributed going forward by registering a key pass, ending with a 78% pass completion rate.

This season, Danso has outperformed every Villa player when it comes to match rating and has averaged more passes than any Villa player, as per WhoScored, showing that he could be a shrewd signing by Villa due to his impressive form and versatility.

Villa have made their first move by scouting the player, so it’ll be interesting to see if they launch a bid for the defender over the coming months, making this one to watch.

Tottenham Hotspur gem Jude Soonsup-Bell has torn his hamstring and will miss the rest of this season, according to reports.

What’s the latest Spurs injury news?

Spurs interim head coach Ryan Mason is having to cope without a few first team stars in the final run of this Premier League season.

The coach is tasked with helping Tottenham maintain their fight for a top four finish and subsequent Champions League qualification, but after a humbling 6-1 loss to Newcastle on Sunday, he faces a real uphill battle.

Mason won’t be helped by the absence of five major players, with goalkeeping number one Hugo Lloris the latest to be sidelined after pulling up with an injury against Newcastle.

The Frenchman joins Emerson Royal, Ryan Sessegnon, Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur on the treatment table as Mason scrambles to make the most of his thin squad.

Spurs signed Soonsup-Bell from Chelsea in the January transfer window, with the teenager already possessing quite a reputation from his time at Stamford Bridge.

Even league champions Man City were thought to be interested in the forward before he opted to join Spurs, highlighting his obvious ability, but it appears he won’t be able to showcase his potential in the academy until next season.

According to Spurs expert John Wenham, writing via his Lilywhites Rose social media account, Soonsup-Bell will now miss the rest of this campaign after tearing his hamstring.

He explained:

Who is Soonsup-Bell?

The England Under-18 international has been a brilliant player at youth level for both Chelsea and Spurs, with Blues U18 coach Ed Brand raving over Soonsup-Bell in an interview, stating:

“Jude is a top goalscorer. He showed great composure to get the ball out of his feet and finish well when he got his chance. He is a fantastic player at this level and he should be really proud.”

While he is arguably yet to truly showcase that in a Spurs shirt, the potential to succeed at Tottenham is certainly there, having racked up five goal contributions (four goals and an assist) in 14 Premier League 2 appearances before his injury.

Spurs will be hoping his recovery goes as smoothly as possible with hamstring issues known to be problematic depending on the severity.

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou is closing in on his second Scottish Premiership title in as many seasons as his side are sitting 13 points clear with five games left to play.

The Hoops can secure the title this weekend if results go their way and one of the keys to the club's impressive form in the division has been the manager's superb recruitment since arriving in the summer of 2021.

Postecoglou has brought in a number of excellent gems to bolster the squad, including the likes of Jota, Liel Abada, and Cameron Carter-Vickers, and he will be hoping that his latest batch of January recruits turn out to be just as effective.

Yuki Kobayashi joined from Vissel Kobe at the start of the year and he could be one of the next success stories as the youngster has the potential to be the dream heir to 27-year-old Carl Starfelt's position on the left-side of the centre-back pairing.

How has Yuki Kobayashi performed for Celtic?

The 22-year-old defender has only played three times in the Premiership since making the switch to Scotland but has caught the eye in his limited minutes.

He averaged a Sofascore rating of 7.03 in those matches and completed 93% of his attempted passes, whilst also winning 44% of his individual duels.

These statistics indicate that the defender is still adjusting to the physicality of the Scottish top-flight but his 68% success rate in his battles in the J1 League in 2022 suggests that the potential is there for him to be a dominant defender.

Starfelt has averaged a Sofascore rating of 7.25 in the Premiership and won 67% of his defensive duels in the division but has been playing on the left of Carter-Vickers despite being naturally right-footed.

The Japanese enforcer has shown signs of being able to perform at a similar level, with his three displays in Scotland so far and his impressive dominance at his previous club, and he also has room to improve at the age of 22.

Bhoys teammate Greg Taylor recently heaped praise on the "unbelievable" Kobayashi and hailed the "balance" that having a natural left-footed player in defence can provide the team.

The £1.2m-rated defender could slot in on the left side to be the long-term heir to Starfelt's position in the team, with the Swedish international possibly moving to the bench or to the right centre-back position in the years to come, if he is able to adapt to Scottish football and find his best form.

At 22, the 6 foot 1 warrior still has plenty of time left ahead of him to develop and grow and Postecoglou may have brought him in with a view to taking over on the left of Carter-Vickers in the future.
