Rangers are reportedly confident that they could pip a number of Premier League clubs to the signing of Burnley youngster Jack McEvilly.

How good is McEvilly?

The Gers will hopefully embark on a busy summer transfer window later this year, as they look to make significant reinforcements in the market. Once again, they look set to fall short in the Scottish Premiership title race and more quality is ultimately required, in order to close the gap on Celtic.

One player who has been linked with a move to Ibrox is McEvilly, who is making a name for himself at Burnley, standing out as one of their most exciting youth team products. The centre-back is even touted as one of the best young players in his position in England, with many clubs likely to eye up a move for him at the end of the season.

It doesn't look as though Rangers' interest is going away any time soon, following a fresh update, as they look to seal the signing of the 16-year-old.

Could teenager join Rangers?

According to Football Insider, the Gers are "confident they have an advantage over Premier League clubs" in the battle to acquire McEvilly's signature. They and Celtic are both thought to have "registered their interest in a potential deal this summer" and they have an advantage because "Scottish clubs only have to pay a maximum £300,000 compensation for out-of-contract players."

In comparison, Premier League teams could have to spend millions on someone like McEvilly, due to there being "no cap on development costs and what they have to pay."

Newcastle, Manchester United, Everton, Crystal Palace and Brighton are all mentioned as potential suitors in the report, but it looks as though the talented Burnley defender could be Ibrox-bound.

While McEvilly clearly wouldn't come in as a key first-team signing by Michael Beale, it is essential that Rangers continue to plan for the future and don't simply focus on the here and now. They need to be in a position where they are a force for many years to come and the centre-back could be exactly what they are looking for, in that respect.

He could come in as a youth team player to begin with, or even be loaned out at some point, before maturing over time and eventually becoming a key figure at the heart of the Gers' defence, as he looks to match the hype.

Newcastle United are reportedly eyeing up a summer move for exciting Lyon youngster Rayan Cherki during the summer transfer window.

How is Cherki doing this season?

The 19-year-old is a hugely talented young player who is already makes waves in France, becoming a key member of Lyon's attacking unit. This season, he has scored three goals and registered four assists in 25 Ligue 1 appearances, as his stock continues to rise.

Cherki is someone who is unlikely to remain at his current club for too much longer, with bigger teams possibly circling ahead of the summer window. Paris Saint-Germain are one of those sides in question and Kylian Mbappe has endorsed the teenager in the past, which highlights his potential. His current deal expires at the end of next season.

Now, it looks as though Newcastle could look to snap him up, following a new update.

Could youngster be off to Newcastle?

According to L'Equipe [via Sport Witness], the Magpies are ready to "get active" with regards to the possible signing of Cherki this summer. Eddie Howe sees him as a strong option to bring in and bolster his squad, ahead of what could be a very productive window for the club.

It is stated that the player himself would rather join PSG, however, with the lure of playing alongside Mbappe something that could be too big to ignore, so it may not be easy for Newcastle to get their man.

Cherki looks like a sublime talent – one who has been described as "incredible" by football talent scout Jacek Kulig – so the idea of him in a Magpies shirt next is mouthwatering. To already be such a key figure in a top league at such a young age says a lot about how good he is, and he should only improve in the coming years, as his all-round game matures both on and off the ball.

Newcastle could do with more squad depth moving forward, allowing Howe to rotate more effectively in the process, and Cherki could come in as a great option and someone who can become one of the first names on the team sheet over time. It is essential that competition for places gets more fierce all the time at St James' Park, allowing the Magpies to go up another gear next season and potentially even push for more of a title charge in the Premier League.

A number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have made it clear online that they are unhappy amid talk that Thomas Tuchel could become the club’s next manager.

What’s the latest on Thomas Tuchel and Spurs?

While Antonio Conte is still in charge, it feels as though the inevitable departure will happen sooner rather than later. Indeed, as per Sky Sports, a decision will be made on Wednesday night on whether or not he will see out the rest of the season.

Even if Daniel Levy opts against sacking the Italian for now, it seems almost guaranteed that Tottenham will be on the hunt for a new manager immediately as Conte’s contract expires in the summer anyway.

And after the current man’s incredible outburst following the recent draw with Southampton – where he brutally took aim at the “selfish” players and the club ownership – it’s likely he lost the majority of support from his own fanbase.

Damningly, The Guardian report that the squad also feel as though Conte is either “going or gone” already, so the only remaining question is, who will come in next?

Even before all this recent chaos, both Mauricio Pochettino and Tuchel were tipped as the two main candidates to be considered for the job, seeing as both are currently out of work.

However, if the German was to be appointed, it sounds as though plenty of supporters would have their reservations.

Much like Conte and Jose Mourinho before him, Tuchel enjoyed great success at Chelsea – winning the Champions League and the Club World Cup before being sacked at the start of this season.

Seeing as the path from West London to Spurs after that initial time with the Blues didn’t work out well for those past two managers, it’s easy to understand why fans might not be so keen to see history repeat itself.

With that in mind, here are some of the best reactions on Twitter…

Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol has explained why Manchester United's high debt levels may indicate why the Glazers are willing to sell the club right now.

What's going on with Man United's ownership?

Bids have been launched to try and acquire ownership of the club from the Glazers, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani's groups thought to be the frontrunners.

United's debt levels were revealed, with a rise to £535.7m, and this may indicate why the Glazers are willing to sell now.

With rising debt and rising costs as Old Trafford is in need of refurbishment, a sale now makes a lot of sense for the American owners, according to Solhekol.

Speaking on Sky Sports News, Solhekol explained why there is such a high level of debt.

He said: "If you dig into the accounts, you will see that Manchester United's debt is up, to £535m. Now, they say that is largely due to the weak pound, but you have to remember that the reason Manchester United have a debt of £535m now is because when the Glazer family bought the club 18 years ago, they bought the club in a leveraged buyout and they loaded £550m of debt onto the club.

"And 18 years later, it still stands at £535m. United were a debt-free club before the Glazers arrived.

"The wage bill for the quarter actually was down 21% – a decrease of £20.4m. A lot of people wondering if that has anything to do with the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo left the club during that period.

"United say that decrease is down to squad turnover, and also not being in the Champions League, because a lot of their players get paid more when they are in the Champions League – so a mixed picture.

"Just looking into these figures gives you an idea of perhaps why the Glazer family think now is the right time to sell Manchester United, especially if they can get the £6bn that they want for the club."

Do the Glazers need to sell now?

There has been a lot of anger directed towards the Glazers from United fans, as the rising debt and lack of successful investment into the playing squad has meant they are set to go ten years without a Premier League title.

There has been particular scrutiny of their lack of investment in the infrastructure, especially since Cristiano Ronaldo highlighted the problems at United prior to his departure.

The current financial situation means that now probably is the best time for the Glazers to make an exit, which could see them make a huge profit on their initial investment whilst also avoiding any future costs of redeveloping the stadium, which their successors can take on instead.

Sheikh Jassim has already promised heavy investment into club infrastructure – as well as a debt-free takeover – should his Qatari consortium successfully purchase the club, so his bid may well appear to the outgoing owners.

Arsenal have been told by Marseille boss Igor Tudor that they have an "extraordinary" young player in Nuno Tavares, amid his loan spell in France.

Which Arsenal players could leave this summer?

Tavares, who only signed for the Gunners in the summer of 2021, arrived with a big reputation – having really impressed for Portuguese giants Benfica.

However, over a season-and-a-half later, the 23-year-old finds himself on loan at Marseille and on the periphery of Mikel Arteta's side – leaving the door open for his potential permanent exit alongside a few others.

Indeed, Tavares has been billed as one of the players who could depart Arsenal permanently this summer – with Kieran Tierney, Mohamed Elneny, Rob Holding and Nicolas Pepe having also been mentioned as nominees for the chopping block.

It has been heavily reported that Arsenal 'would like to sell' Tavares and do not want him back for another full campaign (via Football Club de Marseille), but according to Tudor, they could be wanting to get rid of a real talent.

Should Arsenal really sell Tavares?

Speaking to the media (via Foot Mercato), Marseille's head coach has really endored the young defender on Arsenal's books – claiming he has 'extraordinary' explosivenes and can make a difference for his Ligue 1 side.

Tudor said:

“He is a boy who is still young. He played two days ago with Portugal U21. He has high level physical qualities. He has extraordinary explosiveness. He could play at Real Madrid, Barca or Manchester City. There are other things he needs to improve. "He must progress, we often talk. There's always room for improvement, we're here to help. We make him see concrete things to improve. He scored 5, 6 goals, I don't know. He has always been important to us even if he has not had continuity. He is still participating, he is an important player for us. As I always say, we hope he will help us in the last ten games. He is a player who, when he is in good shape, can change things. He can make a difference."

The former Portuguese top flight starlet clearly has a real ability that has impressed Tudor, making you wonder if Arteta and the Premier League title-chasers should hand Tavares another opportunity to impress at the Emirates.

According to WhoScored, he has been absolutely phenomenal for Marseille this season – ranking among their top four best-performing players by average match rating. He's also completed more successful take-ons per 90 than anyone in Marseille's squad – chipping in with six goals in 21 starts.

Mikel Arteta’s transfer business as Arsenal manager has been excellent – as managing to sign players such as Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Martin Odegaard have given the club an ideal chance to end their Premier League title drought this season.

Of course, not every signing has worked out quite how Arteta would have wanted. The likes of Cedric Soares and Willian perhaps failed to live up to expectations during their stints at the Gunners, while the jury is still out on Albert Sambi Lokonga following an underwhelming start to life at the Emirates.

But one of Arteta’s biggest mistakes so far in terms of transfer business is arguably letting striker Alexandre Lacazette go for free last summer, especially considering the club’s attacking crisis after Christmas and his resurgence at Lyon.

How much is Alexandre Lacazette worth now?

The Frenchman joined the Gunners in the summer of 2017 for a then-club record £46.5m from Lyon, and was looked upon as the striker Arsene Wenger badly needed in order to mount a serious title challenge.

This was a player who had scored 37 goals the previous campaign and was one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe, so landing him was arguably a major coup for Arsenal.

His time at the north London side was successful in terms of goals scored, netting 71 in just over 200 matches, while also chipping in with 36 assists, showcasing his abilities as not only a pure out-and-out striker, but one who could link up well with teammates and create plenty of chances.

His exploits even led Charles Watts to describe him as “magnificent” in 2020, and although his final campaign saw the 31-year-old score just four league goals, it was perhaps time for him to move on, leaving for free when his contract expired at the end of the season.

Has it been a mistake, however? Lacazette has returned to form this term, scoring 21 goals in just 30 matches back at Lyon, and with Arsenal suffering a crisis in terms of attacking options when Gabriel Jesus was injured at the World Cup, they could have done with the Frenchman’s services.

Indeed, since his move away from England, Football Transfers has now valued the player at €18.6m (£16m) and if his goalscoring form continues, that value may well increase.

Arteta may have suffered a rare howler on the striker, and although Jesus has been an inspired signing, keeping hold of Lacazette may have been the better choice rather than letting him leave for nothing.

David Moyes will reportedly be sacked as West Ham manager if his side lose their vital Premier League clash at Fulham on Saturday afternoon.

How much pressure is Moyes under?

The Hammers have had a bitterly disappointing season, having started it with potential European aspirations but now finding themselves right in the relegation fight. Performances and results have both been below-par throughout the campaign and it now leaves the east Londoners fighting for their lives during the business end of 2022/23.

Wednesday's 5-1 humbling by Newcastle United at the London Stadium was arguably the lowest moment of the season so far and there is no doubt that Moyes now finds himself under the most pressure he has been under. The Scotsman will surely be aware that his job is now hanging by a thread.

Now, a new claim has emerged regarding the West Ham boss' future, with today's trip to Fulham looking pivotal for him.

Could Moyes be sacked this weekend?

According to Football Insider, Moyes is "expected to be sacked" by the Hammers if they suffer defeat at Craven Cottage this weekend. The report states that "club chiefs are demanding an instant turnaround" in fortunes after the humiliation against Newcastle, starting in west London on Saturday.

The 59-year-old's "support in the David Sullivan-led boardroom is dwindling" and it is even claimed that the club have been "sounding out alternatives" to replace him.

This only highlights how important Saturday's clash with Fulham is, not only for Moyes but also generally in terms of West Ham's hopes of survival. Granted, they have one game in hand on those around them, but they are still only out of the relegation zone by virtue of goal difference and they don't look like picking up consistent points at the moment.

The hope is that Moyes is able to inspire a big performance out of his players this weekend, though, both potentially saving his job and easing the nerves of supporters in the process. It won't be easy, however, with Fulham sitting 10th in the Premier League after an impressive campaign.

Marco Silva has done an excellent job in charge and they will prove to be a stern test for the Hammers, although one thing that could give the visitors hope is that fact that the Cottagers have lost their last four matches, in all competitions.

The London Stadium, with West Ham fighting for their lives, could be a tough test for Fulham.

Scottish champions Celtic took one giant step closer towards retaining the league title with a 3-2 victory over bitter rivals Rangers on Saturday afternoon, with Ange Postecoglou's men coming out on top in what was a typically thrilling encounter between the two foes at Parkhead.

After early controversy surrounding the decision to disallow Alfredo Morelos' header, the home side took full advantage of that reprieve as Kyogo Furuhashi lashed home on the turn, albeit with the Hoops soon being pegged back as Gers skipper James Tavernier curled in a free-kick from distance.

That man Kyogo went on to power the hosts ahead yet again on the hour mark, however, before Jota capitalised on a slack back pass from John Souttar to extended that lead just ten minutes later, the Portuguese gem showcasing impressive speed to round the advancing Allan McGregor.

While the aforementioned Tavernier would spark hope of a comeback after heading in late on, the Englishman's effort proved to be only a mere consolation, as the league leaders held on to extend their advantage at the summit to 12 points.

A key figure in that pivotal victory was undoubtedly defensive machine, Alistair Johnston, with the January arrival – who previously made his debut for the club against the Light Blues – having shown once again why he simply "loves an Old Firm derby", as per journalist Alexander Gangue-Ruzic.

How did Johnston perform against Rangers?

While it may be Celtic's attacking talents who will steal the headlines following that thrilling win, the Canadian international provided the steel in his right-back berth, having won a staggering haul of 13 duels on the day, including winning 12 of his 14 ground duels.

As the Daily Record's Michael Gannon noted, the £3.5m addition is seemingly 'heading for cult status' at Paradise such is his infectious and relentless presence on the pitch, as the 24-year-old also won five fouls for his side to help ease the pressure when needed.

That 'top-drawer performance' only served to rubberstamp the feeling that former Hoops star Josip Juranovic is 'being missed less and less each passing week', according to Glasgow Live's Will Lancaster, with Johnston having slotted in with his ease in his new surroundings.

The Vancouver native can be a bit 'rough and ready' at times – as per Gannon – while he did lose possession on 16 occasions form his 85 touches, although that will do little to detract from what was a stellar individual display from the rampant defender.

The 5 foot 11 menace is still in the infancy of his Bhoys career although appears to 'show up every time' when facing the club's Glasgow rivals, according to Football Scotland's Mark Hendry, having recorded an impressive 7.5 match rating this time around, as per Sofascore.

As for the club as a whole, while Postecoglou may not be counting his chickens just yet, it does appear that another league title is on its way to Celtic Park…

Tottenham Hotspur manager target Christophe Galtier is now set to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of this season, according to journalist Rudy Galetti.

What's the latest on Galtier to Spurs?

The former Lille head coach, who guided them to a Ligue 1 title in 2020/2021, has been linked to potentially taking over from Antonio Conte at Spurs. The Italian has departed N17 by mutual consent and chairman Daniel Levy's search for a permanent successor is apparently well underway.

While both Cristian Stellini and assistant boss Ryan Mason are charged with leading the north Londoners to a Premier League top-four finish, a shortlist of possible next managers has been drawn up.

Julian Nagelsmann, Mauricio Pochettino, Luis Enrique and even Zinedine Zidane feature prominently, though Chelsea's search for a new boss has potentially given Levy some real competition for these names. Galtier, according to reliable sources, is a possible alternative to the aforementioned quartet.

Indeed, a recent report by The Evening Standard detailed that the 56-year-old is a target for Tottenham, coming amid consistent rumours of Galtier potentially departing the Parc des Princes.

Now, according to journalist Galetti, there has been a definitive update on the tactician's future at PSG with it being certain he will depart. As per the reporter, writing for Tribal Football, Galtier's exit is now 'decided' and he will say 'goodbye' after the 2022/23 campaign.

This could well open the door for Spurs to make a move, coming after he was also linked with replacing Jose Mourinho in 2021.

Should Spurs go for Galtier?

By the time he could arrive at Spurs, it is quite likely Galtier will boast two Ligue 1 titles on his CV as his current PSG side are six points above Lens in first right now.

While there is an argument to be made that his team's financial firepower hands them a pretty sizable advantage over other teams in the division, Galtier's title achievement with Lille in 2021 is evidence the tactician can perform with limited resources.

BBC Sport reporter John Bennett even said this on the former OGC Nice boss last year:

"Christophe Galtier seems to be a very underrated manager outside France. An unbelievable Ligue 1 title win with Lille last season… And after a 1 nil win over PSG last night, his current club Nice are 2nd (after finishing 9th last season). Improves players. Improves teams."

Now that Galtier is allegedly set to depart Paris, Spurs could be presented with a real opportunity.
