WEST BROM WANT HULL CITY’S CLUCAS

West Bromwich Albion are interested in Hull City player Sam Clucas.


The Premier League side have reportedly enquired about the player from the Championship side. However, Burnley, Leicester City and new Premier League boys Newcastle United also want him.

After capturing Jake Livermore from City in the winter window, Tony Pulis seemed to be focusing on Clucas. The Albionwere linked with a move for the player last month but until now they have not submitted their bids, as other clubs.

Reports in England say Clucas’ valuation is in the range of £8 million to £10 million. Clucas was one of the best players at Hull last term before they were relegated. He played 41 times in all competitions.

Magpies boss Rafa Benitez has been linked to the player but the Championship title holders are slow in the transfer market so far. Pulis stands a good chance of snapping up the Leicester City product who is likely going to exit the KCOM Stadium this summer. Following Darren Fletcher’s move to Stoke City, Albion could go hard to get the player to fill the void in central midfield.

UNITED TO GET PSG DEFENDER MARQUINHOS?

There are reports in France that Manchester United are open to signing PSG star Marquinhos this summer.


The Brazil international is being chased by numerous top sides in Europe. The Red Devils would face stiff competition for his signature and even greater resistance from his employers.

Jose Mourinho wants a solid defence. He already has Eric Bailly but the Ivorian is injury-prone. There’s Marcus Rojo and Chris Smalling as well. The others are doubts as Mourinho is set to work on the team.

Marquinhos should partner Bailly in defence on the forthcoming season if things go to plan. Goal reports that PSG would not release the player even if they are offered €100 million. Adding Marquinhos would be a real boost to the United defence. They suffered in that regard this term and Mourinho wants a change.

JONNY EVANS WANTS WEST BROM TO DREAM BIG

West Brom defender Jonny Evans wants the club to dream big in light of their impressive form this term.


The former Manchester United player want the team to overthrow Premier League rivals Everton from the seventh spot and earn European football action next term.

West Brom have been in decent form, placing eight in the standings. With 13 games left this season, they hope to continue with their four-game unbeaten run to usurp the Toffees to seventh place.

“Everton are still four points ahead of us, we want to catch Everton, that’s the next aim. You’re always looking above you. West Ham are trying to catch us. We haven’t talked about specific targets. I know the manager will say we get to 40 points and work from there, exactly like Leicester City did last season,” Evans said.

Liverpool won’t win title

Darren Fletcher believes that Liverpool is not good enough at the moment in order to win the title.


The Anfield side beat West Brom 2-1 during the weekend in order to move to the third place in the table. Jurgen Klopp declared after the match that his side was in the title race and he believes that they have a good chance to win the title.

However, West Brom midfielder Darren Fletcher does not think that the team has what it takes in order to win the title. He admitted that they would be among the sides that will compete for the title, but he believes that the Premier League is a long season and that there are still many hurdles.

He said that Liverpool has started the season well and that they are playing well at the moment. However, they need to remain consistent if they are going to win the title. Darren Fletcher who has won the title four times while he was at Manchester United said that titles are not won in October and that Liverpool needs to be close to the top in May if they want to be champions.

Darren Fletcher Is An Inspiration For Gilks

Darren Fletcher is being talked about highly by his contemporaries.


The latest to sing his praises has been Matt Gilks, the Rangers goalkeeper. Matt Gilks is the goalkeeper of Glasgow Rangers who has played with Darren Fletcher as a midfielder when they played for Scotland. He has revealed that the way Darren and others like a Kenny Miller train on the field has definitely been an inspiration for him. Matt Gilks is 34 years of age who have joined the Rangers recently in a free transfer mode. He was part of a Burnley team that is on the way of joining the Premier League clubs.

For Gilks it has been inspiring watching Darren and others train when they played for Scotland. Darren is known for the midfield position he has played for Manchester United. He has also played for the national team. For Gilks it was a way of changing his outlook towards his game when he watched Darren and others train on the field.

Fletcher voices his thoughts concerning Tottenham and their season

Darren Fletcher is a consistent starter for West Bromwich Albion and the veteran midfielder has helped his club in avoiding the bottom relegation zone.

The Scottish player took some time to talk about Tottenham Hotspur, one of the few clubs that managed to stay up to par with Leicester City for the majority of the season.


For the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur has consistently managed to secure a spot in the top 6 positions of the Premier League, however in the latest season they managed to hold their ground and make a genuine charge for the title.

The 2015-16 season of the Premier League is hand down the best one that Tottenham Hotspur has went through but it still wasn’t enough for them to clinch the Premier League title as it has already been claimed by Leicester City and according to Darren Fletcher, one of the things that has been stopping Tottenham from winning the English league is due to their lack of experience and killer instinct.

“You’ve got to rise to the pressure and thrive under it. You’ve got to see it as a challenge and win games ugly. You’ve got to throw people in the box and see games out when you’re winning 1-0.Passing the ball out from the back is nice and it’s pretty on the eye but when you’re winning 1-0 against West Brom, you shut up shop, see the game out and hit on the counter-attack.Who knows? It’s not for me to say because Tottenham have had a fantastic season. They’ve been a credit to the league and playing against them is really difficult.” Darren Fletcher of West Bromwich Albion said.
