    Leeds United have been linked with a move for the Rangers winger Rabbi Matondo.

    According to reports, the likes of Wilfried Gnonto and Crysencio Summerville could leave the club before the summer transfer window closes and Leeds will have to replace them.

    Matondo has been identified as an alternative and it remains to be seen whether Leeds can agree on a deal for the ex-Manchester City youth product.

    The winger was reportedly spotted in the stands during Leeds United’s game against Cardiff and that has fuelled speculation surrounding a potential move to Elland Road.

    The 22-year-old winger could prove to be a useful acquisition for Leeds in the final third. He will add goals and creativity to the attack.

    The opportunity to join the English club could be an attractive proposition for the player and it remains to be seen with the Leeds are prepared to formalise their interest with a concrete proposal.

    Ideally, Leeds will look to hold on to the likes of Gnonto and Summerville beyond this summer. Both players were impressive for them last season and they could be crucial to Leeds’s hopes of securing promotion to the Premier League.

    22-year-old seen in the stands as Leeds move looks imminent

    Eagle-eyed Leeds supporters will have noticed a player from another club sat in the Elland Road stands on Saturday as the hosts played Cardiff City in their first Championship game of the season.

    Daniel Farke’s side had to come from behind and got their reward in injury time.

    They also dominated possession against Shrewsbury in the Carabao Cup but went behind in the first half before two quick-fire second half goals took the game away from the visitors.

    The German clearly has a lot to work on, and with confirmation of Tyler Adams’ move to Chelsea coming on Thursday lunchtime, his immediate task has been made that much more difficult.

    Nevertheless, it’s almost certain that the manager and the new board will have countenanced for such eventualities, and will be bringing in new faces accordingly.

    One of them is likely to be Rangers’ 22-year-old, Rabbi Matondo, after Football Insider sources placed him at Leeds’ ground.

    The winger could well be seen as a replacement for Willy Gnonto who was left out of the cup game but who was, apparently, not injured but also not available according to the information that Farke gave to reporters in his post-match press conference, detailed by Leeds Live.

    Football Insider further suggest that Matondo has been left out of Rangers’ European squad, which would provide a further indication that a move elsewhere is on the cards.

    With the season having already started, the quicker that Farke can bed down his squad, the better.

  • Aston Villa reignite interest in 22-year-old Arsenal attacker

    Aston Villa reignite interest in 22-year-old Arsenal attacker

    Aston Villa could step up their interest in signing Arsenal attacker Emile Smith Rowe.

    That’s according to a recent report from talkSPORT, who claims Unai Emery is a big admirer of the Gunners’ young wide-playmaker having previously awarded him with his senior debut while in charge of the Londoners back in 2018.

    Despite being part of a strong core of young English players, Smith Rowe’s position at Arsenal has come under threat this season following the emergence of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, who was signed from Brighton in January.

    Seemingly way down in Mikel Arteta’s pecking order, Smith Rowe, 22, could find himself in search of a new challenge as he looks to reignite his stagnating career.

    And according to these latest reports, Villa Park could be where the 22-year-old is offered a lot more regular playing time, even though the Villians came up short in their efforts to sign him following a £30m bid in the summer of 2021.

    Since making his senior debut for the Gunners, Smith Rowe, who has three years left on his deal, has gone on to directly contribute to 28 goals in 93 games in all competitions.

    Leeds United were linked with a move for the Belgian midfielder Charles De Ketelaere before he moved to AC Milan.

    The transfer to the Italian club has not worked out for the 22-year-old playmaker and he has struggled to hold down a regular starting spot for them.

    The Belgian has not been able to hit his peak form either. De Ketelaere attracted the attention of a number of other European clubs after impressing with Club Brugge and Leeds were hoping to sign him.

    However, the player snubbed the opportunity to move to Elland Road in favour of joining the Rossoneri.

    The player has now opened up on his situation at AC Milan. He has admitted that things have not gone according to plan for him at Milan and there are a number of reasons behind that. The player cited the higher level of football in Italy and his adaptation to a new environment as factors that have stopped him from performing at his best at his new club.

    “Disappointing. Indeed, negative. This certainly wasn’t my expectation,” De Ketelaere admits to Het Laaste Nieuws.

    “After an excellent season with Club Brugge and after my transfer to Milan, which I don’t regret, I would have hoped to be more important than I have been up to now.

    “There are so many reasons (why I am struggling). One is the environment – a higher level of football – and the adaptation to many things. (Such as) life off the pitch.”

    It will be interesting to see if Milan are willing to be patient with the player and give him the opportunity to get back to his best in the coming months.

    Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.

    Premier League giants Chelsea and Manchester United reportedly keeping tabs on his situation and the 22-year-old has now confirmed his desire to be the first-choice goalkeeper for his country at the senior level.

    Meslier has revealed that he is looking to improve as a player and establish himself as the number one goalkeeper for the French national team. However, he is aware of the fact that he will have to perform at a high level for Leeds United in order for that to happen.

    Regarding his future and a potential move away from Elland Road, the player has revealed that he will consider his future with a clear head when the time comes and he is currently focused on the upcoming European under-21 championships in June.

    “It would be a mistake to project oneself so far. There are many steps before that: a continuation to be sought with Leeds, the Euro Espoirs [U21 championship] in June,” Meslier explained.

    “To succeed in all of this, I have to be good. Because no one will come looking for me if I am not. And if I am asked, I will take the time to think about my future with a clear head.”

  • 22-Year-Old Downs Idol Monfils In Phoenix

    22-Year-Old Downs Idol Monfils In Phoenix

    A busy Thursday at the Arizona Tennis Classic saw Alexander Shevchenko score a win that he won’t soon forget. The 22-year-old ousted French wild card Gael Monfils in the first round of the Phoenix Challenger 6-4, 6-7(2), 6-3.

    Post match, the qualifier Shevchenko posted on Instagram a message sharing his admiration for the former World No. 6.

    “Such an emotional match for me,” Shevchenko said. “[Gael] was the reason I fell in love with the game.”

    Shevchenko is coached by Gunter Bresnik, who has worked with prominent players such as Boris Becker, Patrick McEnroe, Dominic Thiem, and fittingly—Monfils.

    After sleeping on a 2-0 lead in the deciding set following rain suspending Wednesday’s play, Shevchenko held his nerve in the closing stages to advance at the Challenger 175 event.

    In other opening-round action Thursday, top seed Matteo Berrettini won 28 of 33 first serve points to defeat countryman and lucky loser Mattia Bellucci 6-4, 6-4. The 2019 Phoenix Challenger champion will next meet Aussie qualifier Aleksandar Vukic on Friday afternoon.

     

    “I’m really happy to be here and get the win, great start,” Berrettini said. “I came here to make a long run and play as many matches as possible.”

    With crowd support behind him at the Phoenix Country Club, American Aleksandar Kovacevic was firing on all cylinders en route to 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(6) victory against Christopher O’Connell. Currently World No. 104 in the Pepperstone ATP Live Rankings, Kovacevic could rise into the Top 100 should he beat third seed Richard Gasquet.

    Earlier in the day, eighth seed Emil Ruusuvuori cruised past Roberto Carballes Baena 6-3, 6-0. The Finn will meet Quentin Halys in the second round.
