Klopp willing to sign Chukwueze for £86m

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, is reportedly eager to sign £86m rated Nigeria winger, Samuel Chukwueze, as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah.

Salah’s future at Anfield has been shrouded in doubts with Real Madrid and Barcelona preparing a bid for the Egyptian star next summer.

The 20-year-old has scored 10 goals with five assists in 49 games for Villarreal.

“Chukwueze has good qualities and can flourish better with more freedom,” the report reads.

The 20-year-old certainly looks like he has a big future in the game, and his club have already tied him down to a contract with a buy-out clause of £86m in it.

The former Diamond academy player is one of the seven forwards listed by Gernot Rohr for next week’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin and Lesotho.

Bale makes Welsh squad for crucial Euro 2020 qualifiers

Gareth Bale, who is struggling with a calf problem, has been included by Ryan Giggs in the Wales squad for their must-win final two Euro 2020 qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Hungary.

The 30-year-old Real Madrid star, who has not played since scoring for Wales in their 1-1 draw with World Cup finalists Croatia on October 13 is nevertheless considered a doubt for both the game in Azerbaijan on November 16 and at home to Hungary on the 19.

The Welsh surprise semi-finalists at Euro 2016 are presently fourth in their group, six points adrift of table-topping Croatia and four points adrift of second-placed Hungary.

Bale returned to light training with Real Madrid last week after a visit to London which sparked more speculation about his future.

This accelerated on Monday with claims Real Madrid were preparing a £70m ($90 million) bid plus Bale to lure England striker Raheem Sterling away from Manchester City.

Hoeness: Bayern Munich expect to name new head coach within three weeks

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness says the German giants will take their time to find Niko Kovac’s successor, but expects them to be able to name a new head coach within three weeks.

Kovac was sacked on Sunday after 16 months in charge in the wake of Bayern’s 5-1 drubbing at Eintracht Frankfurt, which left the defending giants fourth in the Bundesliga table.

Kovac’s assistant coach Hansi Flick has been named interim boss.

Hoeness says Bayern’s senior figures will “think calmly about how to handle” finding a new head coach with a decision expected to be made during the forthcoming international break.

The German media has already speculated who Kovac’s permanent replacement will be, but Dutchman Erik ten Hag, one of the early favourites, has already announced he will not leave Ajax before the end of the season.

Massimiliano Allegri, Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger, who are all currently without a club, have been mentioned as possible candidates.
