West Ham’s main man Marko Arnautovic has been linked with a move away from the club for months, but he now needs to knuckle down and prove he’s worth being snapped up.

The Austrian striker’s brother pleaded with the club to let him leave in a statement in January, but his ‘dream move’ to an unnamed Chinese club fell through when a £35m bid was rejected. Why he wanted to go to China is beyond us all but since that deal didn’t materialise, the talented frontman should perform like everyone knows he can to earn a move to a club which is a step up from West Ham.

Why he’d even want to leave The London Stadium in January is another question that’s hard to answer. They’re playing some great football at the moment and are looking capable of mounting a challenge for a European spot over the next year or so. However, if he really does want to leave, then he needs to get his head back into playing for the Hammers until the end of the season.

There’s no questioning his quality, it’s there, but his attitude is something that sometimes lets him down, and that’s the difference between a good player and a world-class player – mentality. This is a test of character for the 29-year-old and could mean him signing for a Chinese club to rot away into obscurity or being picked up by a club already playing European football.

The opportunity to build up his goal tally is there. He’s now playing alongside players like Samir Nasri, Manuel Lanzini and Felipe Anderson who will be able to set him up for fun against most opposition. West Ham are creating chances against the best sides in the league too and he could be finishing those as their main man up top.

If Arnautovic would lift his head up and realise what an opportunity he has in front of him, he could be playing European football next season, whether that be with West Ham or not. Surely that would be more of a ‘dream move’ than China?

Where do you think Marko Arnautovic will be playing his football next season?

Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to react after Scott Brown ended his near two-year long wait for a goal with an absolute scorcher against St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup rout.

The 33-year-old, who has been with the Bhoys for almost 12 years, found the top corner from almost 30 yards out to score his first goal since netting against Inverness back in February 2017.

Brendan Rodgers’ men recorded a resounding 5-0 victory to extend their domestic cup winning run to a remarkable 24 games, as they look to complete another treble.

Be sure to check out the incredible story of the man who rose from a Tanzanian refugee camp to become one of Australia’s biggest football stars in the video below…

Scott Sinclair also netted a hat-trick in the game, showing excellent composure in front of goal to ensure that he took the match ball home, whilst James Forrest also got in on the act to complete a fantastic victory.

Despite the former Manchester City man’s treble, it was Brown’s stunner that had the Celtic fans on Twitter talking, such was the rarity of the occasion…

According to Lieven De Turck, who represents Charlton in takeover talks, the club will commence contract negotiations with manager Lee Bowyer and his assistant Johnnie Jackson ‘in a decent time period’.

Both of their contracts are up in the summer – like many of the players’ deals as well – and the Addicks are keen to tie down the pair for the foreseeable future as they look to ease panic over the fate of those in the dugout and on the pitch.

Bowyer, since securing the job on a permanent basis, has guided the Addicks to sixth place – if they can remain in that spot, they have a real chance of promotion to the Championship via the play-offs, so it makes perfect sense that the club are keen to tie down the man that got them there.

Minutes from the Fans’ Forum meeting at The Valley on Monday night read:

“LDT [De Turck] said within the board there is consensus on Bowyer and Jackson.

“He said conversations will start soon on their contracts as they are doing a good job.

“LDT said they will do it in a decent time period.

“LDT said the consensus in the board is to continue with Bowyer and Jackson.”

Bowyer may be set to remain in the dugout beyond the end of the campaign, but he will not be in it for the next two matches; the 42-year-old is currently serving a three match touchline ban for confronting referee Chris Kavanagh after his side’s 2-1 win over Wimbledon last month.

Watch how to cross the road like a boss with freestyler Ben Nuttall in the video below…

Charlton fans must fear not, though, as it would seem this absence from the role is temporary and will not be made permanent in the summer, as long as contract negotiations go to plan.

Tottenham Hotspur host Leicester City at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, and Mauricio Pochettino’s side will be looking to keep pace with the Premier League title race with a win. 

However, Spurs must be wary, as the Foxes showed in their recent hard-fought draw against Liverpool that they have what it takes to match the best. Every member of the Spurs team must pay due diligence to their defensive duties.

The indoor football skills in the video below have to be seen to be believed…

Pochettino will be looking to his midfielders to follow runners and drop deep to support their defence throughout the match. Harry Winks, who has impressed recently in the middle of the park for Spurs, will shoulder plenty of this responsibility.

The 23-year-old will have to balance his attacking duties with being mindful of the threat being posed by the likes of James Maddison and Demarai Gray who will be looking to exploit any gaps between Spurs’ midfield and defence.

The 3-cap England international must be mature and disciplined to ensure that his side aren’t caught out as they push forwards.

According to The Telegraph, West Bromwich Albion striker Dwight Gayle has been charged by the FA for diving after he won a penalty in the 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest at The Hawthorns on Tuesday night, and Reds fans have been quick to react on Twitter.

Martin O’Neill’s men looked to be on course to pick up a vital three points in their bid to secure a top-six finish in the Championship this season as they led 2-1 entering the closing stages, until Gayle went down in the area just a couple of minutes from time.

Referee Lee Mason awarded the spot-kick, but now the FA has charged the 28-year-old attacker with “successful deception of a match official” after an independent panel reviewed the incident and came to a unanimous decision, and he could be dealt a two-match ban.

Forest supporters took to social media to give their thoughts on the situation, and while one simply said “good”, another believes “the FA are setting a dangerous precedent”.

Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…

وأردف: “سأستمر مع طنطا ولن أتركهم إلا في حالة واحدة وهي تدريب المنتخب الوطني، لا يوجد شيء بعيد عن الله، حسن شحاتة كان يدرب في الدرجة الثانية ومنها قاد المنتخب”.

Everton star Idrissa Gueye has told L’Equipe that he still wants to move to Paris Saint-Germain after a January transfer ultimately failed to materialise.

The midfielder has revealed he’s hopeful of joining the Ligue 1 giants or another top European club in the near future.

The 29-year-old has made 97 appearances for the Merseysiders and has certainly been a good servant to the club, as their most consistent central midfielder since his move from Aston Villa two-and-a-half years ago.

But the Everton fans have been on social media offering their views on Gueye’s comments and they certainly haven’t gone down well, with many now wanting him to leave.

Indeed, one fan even claimed that the 5ft 9in ace should be put in the reserves – the Under-23s – until the end of the season following his comments to the French media.

A selection of the Twitter reaction from Everton supporters can be seen below:

The January transfer window was kind and cruel at the same time for Newcastle United.

While the Magpies received an exciting talent like Miguel Almiron, they also brought in Antonio Barreca on loan from Monaco, a deal which is turning out to be a complete bust.

With Paul Dummett being Newcastle’s only option at left-back, they decided to sign Barreca on loan from the French side with an option to purchase permanently. The Italian left-back was a decent option during Monaco’s abysmal league campaign, leading to the deal as Benitez looked to fill a position that’d proved a problem on Tyneside for absolutely years.

However, what could’ve been a promising tale has now deteriorated into a bitter situation. Barreca’s only made a single appearance for the Magpies, that too after coming on after 86th minute in the late loss to Tottenham at Wembley. Since then, Matt Ritchie has largely been deployed as a wing-back, with either Christian Atsu or the aforementioned Dummet coming on.

In fact, Bentinez apparently doesn’t find him to be defensively stable enough and, according to reports from the Sun via talkSPORT, the Spaniard  “doesn’t rate” his talents.

As a result, Ritchie’s been drafted in the left wing-back role in Newcastle’s new and improved system. Yet, Barreca’s failures prove he might not have been Benitez’s top choice at all.

Despite breaking the club record with Almiron’s signing, Barreca’s failed addition proves Ashley and Benitez aren’t on the same page.

Tensions might soon be brewing because of the wastage of the Italian defender and further points at a difference of ambition within the club.
