Lots of Wolves fans have been left to fume as a transfer update emerged on Dion Sanderson.

As per the Daily Mail, the Midlands club have rejected an opening bid worth £1m from Sunderland for the central defender.

They are looking to hold out for fee closer to £2m, as Cardiff City, Birmingham City, Stoke City, Luton Town and Millwall are all credited with an interest in his signature, and are closely monitoring any developments.

Both Sheffield United and Newcastle United are also said to eyeing up a potential transfer for Sanderson, who is set to be in high-demand.

The Englishman played a big part in the Black Cats reaching the EFL League One play-offs, playing in no fewer than 26 games in total in the division (Transfermarkt), and at just 21 years of age, he still has a lot of potential.

Thus, it is understandable why so many members of the Molineux faithful feel aggrieved by the opening offer.

Wolves fans on Sanderson transfer update

These WWFC supporters fumed as the transfer update was shared on Twitter, with one even going as far as to claim that the offer was ‘insulting’:

Millwall will allow centre-forward Jon Dadi Bodvarsson to leave The Den this summer.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a report by London News Online, who claim that Gary Rowett will listen to offers for the 29-year-old striker in the summer transfer window, as the 47-year-old looks to free up space in his squad in order to bring in his own attacking targets.

The report goes on to state that Bodvarsson is eager to play regular first-team football next season, suggesting that he too would be open to a move away from The Den this summer.

Bodvarsson must go

Having been a Neil Harris signing for Millwall from Reading in what was a £765k deal back in 2019, it would appear to be a fair statement to make that the Iceland international has not quite lived up to expectations for the Lions.

Indeed, having played a total of 75 games in all competitions for the club, Bodvarsson has so far managed just seven goals and six assists.

Over his 38 Championship appearances last season, only 13 of which came as starts, the £810k-rated striker scored one goal, registered two assists and created three big chances for his teammates, as well as managing an average of just 0.2 shots on target and 0.2 key passes per game.

These returns saw the 29-year-old earn a disappointing seasonal SofaScore match rating of 6.64, ranking him as Rowett’s fifth-worst performer in the second tier of English football, out of all 27 Lions’ players to have featured in the competition.

As such, it would appear highly advisable for Rowett to move the centre-forward whom the Birmingham Live writer Ryan Leister dubbed a “powerful” player on to pastures new this summer, as Bodvarsson’s returns simply do not warrant the £10k-per-week wages he is reported to earn at The Den.

Furthermore, with the money generated from his potential sale, in addition to the money that would be saved on his salary, waving goodbye to the Icelandic hitman should afford Rowett a decent amount sum to bring in a more cost-effective attacking option this summer.

Leeds United are set to miss out on signing Fleetwood Town teenager Josh Feeney, with Aston Villa reportedly on the verge of snapping him up.

The Lowdown: Leeds linked with Feeney

The Whites may be eying up first-team reinforcements this summer, but they have also been linked with a move for Feeney, who is the current England Under-16s captain.

The highly-rated youngster has been watched by a host of clubs, such is his potential, with Leeds tussling with the likes of Wolves, Leicester City and Celtic for his services.

The Latest: Aston Villa set to sign youngster

It looks as though Villa have won the race to sign Feeney, however with the Birmingham Mail reporting that the centre-back has been in talks with them in recent days.

The player’s representatives were believed to be ‘impressed’ by what Villa had to offer, seeing a potential path into the first-team for him eventually.

The Verdict: Long-term blow

While missing out on Feeney is no great issue currently, with Leeds possessing strong centre-back options in Diego Llorente, Liam Cooper, Robin Koch and Pascal Struijk, it is a potential long-term hit.

The defender clearly has a huge amount of promise moving forward going by the huge fight for his signature, and with Marcelo Bielsa hopefully looking to set the Whites up for a strong future, signing him would have been a positive.

Only time will tell if Feeney makes the grade, but having great English talent in the academy squad is always preferable, so this is a blow for Victor Orta and co.

A lista dos 25 jogadores que vão representar o Botafogo nas primeiras etapas da Taça Libertadores foi enviada à Conmebol, mas está guardada a sete chaves. Nem os próprios jogadores a receberam. Mas uma ausência considerável é certa: Sassá, artilheiro do time na temporada passada, não está no grupo. Outro fato minimamente curioso – e, de certo modo, surpreendente – é a ausência de Renan Fonseca e Rodrigo Lindoso do grupo de relacionados para a partida desta quarta-feira, contra o Colo-Colo (CHI).

O caso de Sassá é nitidamente comportamental. O atacante se envolveu em polêmicas nas últimas semanas, entre fotos e vídeos publicados e outros que se espalharam pela internet, indicando um estilo “bad boy”. Por tal razão, ele vem sendo visto com outros olhos por membros da comissão técnica e da diretoria alvinegra.

A opção por não relacionar Renan Fonseca e Rodrigo Lindoso chama atenção porque a dupla sempre teve a confiança do técnico Jair Ventura. Por mais que pudessem não ser titulares, pelo crescimento, na zaga, de Marcelo e, no meio-campo, pela chegada de João Paulo, não tê-los nem no banco é de estranhar. Lindoso, por exemplo, foi um dos atletas que mais entrou em campo em 2016, pelo Glorioso.

As opções do Botafogo fazem barulho a menos de 48 horas do início da participação alvinegra no principal torneio do continente. Após o treino desta terça-feira, o técnico Jair Ventura vai conceder entrevista coletiva e explicar, ou não, as razões das escolhas feitas.

Com um elenco muito superior tecnicamente, o Flamengo fez muito pouco e foi derrotado pelo Vila Nova, neste sábado, no Serra Dourada. O Rubro-Negro teve alguns poucos destaques individuais. Na verdade, é mais fácil dizer somente quem se salvou na derrota por 2 a 1. Pelo lado dos donos da casa, Wallyson foi o grande destaque. Com dois golaços, ele fica com a nota 8!

Vale lembrar que Zé Ricardo mudou todo o time no intervalo. Miguel Trauco fez sua estreia pelo Flamengo. Ele mostrou certo talento, mas não chegou a fazer uma grande partida. Confira abaixo uma avaliação dos melhores e piores do Fla, na nossa visão, neste amistoso:

OS MELHORES DO FLAMENGO:
​
7,0
Leandro Damião
Mostrou oportunismo e deu um belo toque para fazer o seu primeiro gol com a bola rolando pelo Flamengo. Fica com boa nota.

6,5
Adryan
Deu uma linda assistência para Leandro Damião deixar o gol dele. Apesar de ser apenas um amistoso, sempre é bom deixar uma boa impressão.

6,5
Mancuello
Foi a melhor opção para a criação de jogadas do Fla no primeiro tempo. Voluntarioso, chamou o jogo. Porém, precisa ficar mais atento sem a bola.

6,0
Jorge
Tentou dar opções ao setor ofensivo e arriscou um bom chute. Cada vez mais elogiado, pode virar um dos protagonistas do time neste ano.

6,0
Miguel Trauco
Não teve a estreia dos sonhos, longe disso. Porém, mostrou que sabe bater na bola. Se caprichar um pouco mais, pode ser muito útil no Fla.

QUEM FICOU DEVENDO:

5,0
Rafael Vaz
Não teve uma boa atuação. Wallyson ganhou algumas jogadas em disputa de velocidade contra o defensor rubro-negro.

5,5
Diego
Esteve sumido em alguns momentos e não conseguiu comandar a criação de jogadas, como de costume. Tem muito crédito e talento com a bola.

5,0
Juan
Não conseguiu se impor num amistoso teoricamente fácil. Levou o único cartão amarelo do Flamengo e ficou devendo.

5,5
Gabriel
Entrou no lugar de Diego para centralizar a criação de jogadas. Não teve sucesso nesta missão. É melhor e mais eficiente como ponta.

5,5
Zé Ricardo
O Flamengo chegou a dominar as ações no primeiro tempo, mas mostrou fragilidades na defesa. Sinal de que ainda é preciso melhorar.

Daniel Farke’s Norwich City are interested in a summer move for Mehdi Zerkane.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a report by La Gazette du Fennec, who claimed that both the Canaries and Aston Villa are keeping a close eye on the Bordeaux winger ahead of the summer transfer window.

The report added that, while the 21-year-old would like to stay in Ligue 1 for a further year to continue his development, Les Girondins could be tempted into parting with the £1.8m-rated youngster if a significant offer is made due to their troublesome financial state.

Mahrez 2.0

With Norwich sporting director Stuart Webber having an extraordinary amount of success in recent seasons with signing lesser-known and under-appreciated talents, such as Emi Buendia’s £1.35m signing from Getafe and Teemu Pukki’s arrival from Brondby on a free transfer, Zerkane could well fit the bill for the sporting director once again this summer.

The winger, who is a product of the youth setup at AS Monaco, has yet to truly burst onto the scene at Bordeaux, having featured just 27 times for the Ligue 1 side, scoring one goal and registering one assist. However, it seems that a number of clubs believe the 21-year-old possesses a considerable amount of talent, with Marseille, Lyon, Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid all attempting to sign Zerkane upon his departure from Monaco.

Indeed, there are obvious comparisons which can be drawn between Zerkane and Riyad Mahrez, with both players being left-footed right-wingers who like to cut inside, both being Algeria internationals and both starting their footballing careers in France.

As such, with Bordeaux reportedly open to offers for the highly-rated youngster this summer, it would seem a highly advisable move for Webber to pursue a deal for the 21-year-old. If he goes on to fulfil the potential that a number of Europe’s biggest clubs clearly believe he possesses, Norwich could indeed have the next Mahrez on their hands ahead of next season.

Many Everton fans have been reacting to an update from Patrick Boyland saying that the Toffees passed up on the chance to sign Daniel Jebbison in 2018.

The Toffees were defeated 1-0 at Goodison Park on Sunday by Sheffield United as their hopes of qualifying for European football next term suffered a huge blow. Jebbison scored his first goal for the Blades in the victory on what was his first start for the club (Transfermarkt). With six goals in six FA Youth Cup games across the past two seasons, it is clear that he possesses plenty of talent.

It appears that Everton had the chance to sign him in the past. According to Boyland, Jebbison was on trial with the Merseyside club in 2018, but Everton passed up on the chance to capture his services.

Boyland shared the news on his official Twitter account, and it attracted plenty of attention from Everton supporters. These fans took to the social media platform to share their thoughts.

Let’s see what these fans had to say about Everton missing out on Jebbison

In other news, some Everton fans were livid with this man’s performance against the Blades.

Manchester United will be aiming to extend Manchester City’s wait for the Premier League title as they take on Liverpool at Old Trafford today.

Pep Guardiola’s men will be crowned as champions if the Red Devils fall to defeat against their great rivals so there is even more motivation for them to claim victory against the Reds.

Considering that then, how many changes could United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer be tempted to make from the 6-2 thumping of AS Roma in Europa League action midweek?

We are expecting just two changes from the Norwegian for the clash – neither of them being much of a surprise.

Dean Henderson should be recalled to take his place between the sticks having seen David De Gea start on Thursday evening. The former Sheffield United loanee has started each of the last seven Premier League matches for the Red Devils.

Elsewhere, he should be shielded by an unchanged back four of Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

There should also not be any changes from the defensive midfield pairing of Fred and Scott McTominay.

After his two goals against AS Roma, Bruno Fernandes is once again sure to take his place in a slightly more advanced position.

Meanwhile, there should be a slight tweek to the attack. Edinson Cavani is sure to start after his two goal and three assist haul in midweek and will once again be supported by Marcus Rashford.

Mason Greenwood should come into the starting line-up though at the expense of the £54m-rated Paul Pogba.

The 19-year-old appears back to his best form having hit six goals since the start of March in all competitions for Manchester United.
