Real to launch an astonishing double transfer swoop for Mbappe and Haaland

By -

Spanish giants Real Madrid are popularly known for always hunting for the best talents in world football and have been recently linked with moves for PSG forward Kylain Mbappe and Dortmund's Norwegian starlet Braut Erlin Haaland.

Real have been linked with a move for Mbappe for a couple of years now with club manager Zinedine Zidane who is a fan of the World Cup winner, making it clear his intentions to bring the 21 years old to the Spanish capital.

The French forward, who modeled former Real Madrid player Cristiano Ronaldo, growing up, has two years left on his current PSG contract and might fancy the chance to replace his idol at Real.

The Madrid club will also be confident of convincing Mbappe not to sign a contract extension with the French giants after a bust up with club manager Thomas Tuchel earlier this year.

Norwegian wonderKid Haaland, has hit the ground running in the BundesLiga after his move from RB Salzburg at the turn of the year. The 19 years old has netted 12 times in 11 outings for BVB and it will be a tough task for the club to persuade him to stay if the interest from Los Blancos persist.

Real brought in Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic last summer but neither has done anything to fill the void left by their former Portuguese talisman, with Belgian playmaker, Hazard, having year to forget after missing most of the games through injuries and registering just a goal in 10 outings. Jovic, however, has not done enough to secure the trust of manager, Zinedine Zidane.

Should Real be successful in luring this two superstars to the Bernabeu ahead of the 2020/21 season, it could be the start of another great something for Los Merengues after a halt in the club's domination since losing Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus in the summer of 2018.

Ralf Rangnick proffered a permanent solution but United choose to make more casualties with Erik Ten Hag

Ralf Rangnick appeared to have unraveled the puzzle at Manchester United during his short stint as the club's interim manager but the hierarchy did not take heed to his priceless advice. Albeit the German did not enjoy the best of time in the helm of affairs in Old Trafford, Rangnick, who had proven to be more of a administrative minded man prior to his appointment at the club did left blueprints that could have healed the club completely. Looking back and you'll realize it could have been more worth it had speculations of him becoming the club's Director after leaving the Coaching role come to pass. Even in his early days as a professional football coach, Rangnick did not have a reputation of thriving when the stake is high but he flourishes more in an environment that gives him the avenue to build from scratch. The notion was proven truth during his time at Stuttgart, Hannover and even Schalke, where he helped all these teams finesse nightmares into glamour. His appointme

A sign of what is to come but no excuse for Chelsea's late capitulation in the London derby

By -

Chelsea ended a run of three straight home defeats to Arsenal in an enthralling London derby match in the Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening. While many will see it as a positive omen for the host, which is rightly so, it was very poor game management by both the players and the manager to allow the visitors snatch a point later on the night. Arsenal was there for the taking. It was the worst display by Mikel Arteta's side in recent years and despite having a two goal cushion, Mauricio Pochettino's side were unable to see out the win from a very comfortable position. Cole Palmer and Mykaylo Mudryk continue to show signs of finally settling into their rhythm under Mauricio Pochettino, much to the delight of the home support as the Blues were all over their rival from the North for the first 70 minutes in the Bridge. Both players also scored in either half, with Mykaylo Mudryk scoring his first ever Chelsea goal in the Stamford Bridge with a wonderful cross-cum-shot, which caugh
