JUVE TOP AGAIN

Juventus are once more at the top of the Serie A with a comfortable lead of 8 points over their nearest rivals As.Roma. Even though they have a competitive squad and have not shown much weaknesses in this season there still are rumors and reports involving a number of players that on the radar of Antonio Conte while some others might be seeing their way out of the club.

The head chiefs of Juventus are believed to be having talks with Tottenham concerning Erik Lamela and Conte is willing to use some of his own players in exchange of Lamela as it could tempt the Premier League side Tottenham on letting him go.

Erik Lamela has not enjoyed the best of times since making his switch to Tottenham and a move could be the best decision he makes for his career.

Andrea Pirlo’s passing abilities have always been the absolute best that the Serie A has to offer which has attracted the interest of many top European clubs and even at his fairly elevated years of age, Pirlo is wanted by some of the best clubs in the world.

Kwadwo Asamoah spoke about his current situation in Juventus and even though some reports and rumors have been linking him with a move to another club, the Ghanaian player stated that he has never even thought about leaving Juventus.

“It has never occurred to me to leave for another club.” Asamoah said.

Frederik Sorensen of Juventus is a big target of Bologna who will now have to pay at least €10 million if they want to have full ownership of the player as Sorensen currently is playing for Bologna but is co-owned by Juventus.

Manchester United’s Luis Nani has fallen out of the pecking order of David Moyes and Juventus seemed to be the more likely destination of the Portuguese winger but his injury might be an obstacle for the transfer as the Italian club is now taking their time before launching an official bid.

GOOD NEWS

Tottenham received good news after hearing from the medical results of Christian Eriksen as his injury was initially thought that it would leave him out from the playing grounds for 3 months after his ankle ligaments were ruptured but now it is believed that he should be back in action after 1 month.

The 21 years old midfielder of Tottenham picked up the injury during Demark’s 2-1 triumph over Norway. The injury was confirmed by the team as they talked about the injury with their twitter account and confirmed that the recovery will not take as long as expected.

Tottenham Hotspurs tweeted: “After an MRI scan it’s been determined that @ChrisEriksen8 suffered a sprain of the lateral ankle ligaments playing for Denmark on Friday.

“Christian’s scan showed no sign of ruptured ligaments which will result in a shorter period of recovery for the attacking midfielder.”

He will however still miss out from Tottenham’s important matches against Manchester City, Manchester United and Fulham.

Since Gareth Bale moved to Real Madrid back in September, the attacking duty has been rested on Jermain Defoe and Roberto Soldado but the former player of Valencia said that he is not going through the best of times in his career.

Tottenham splashed out £26 million to secure the services of Soldado in August and now with the absence of Gareth Bale, the pressure of scoring goals is being felt by the Spanish striker who says that he has not lived up to his price tag and expectations.

“I’ve scored six but I’d like to score many more,” said Soldado, speaking to Spurs’ in-house TV channel.

“I am a realist and I know that on the pitch I am not happy with everything.

“I am not combining with my team mates how I would like but I know I am very close.

DEFOE WINS PRAISE

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has praised striker Jermain Defoe after the 3-0 win over Dinamo Tbilisi in the Europa league, which helped the club seal progression into the group stages 8-0 on aggregate. Getting into the group stages of the Europa league was extremely important for Tottenham given the profile it would give to the club on the international market. Further, the club has also spent a lot of money on several players in this transfer window. They have made their purchases with the Europa league group stages in mind. Without the games of the Europa league, it would be difficult to satisfy such a large group of players.

Defoe has not been a first-team regular season, as he has largely been referred to Roberto Soldado in the league. However, he has played in the Europa league and he demonstrated his quality by scoring two goals in the second leg. After the match, the manager praised the 29-year-old, who has been linked with a move away from Tottenham. The Premier league outfit came into the match on the back of a 5-0 win in the first leg, which almost put them in the group stages. Defoe has been a goalscorer throughout his career and the manager rightly praised this ability.

“We couldn’t be complacent. All the boys did extremely well. After a 5-0 win you can come into the game with a laid back attitude. They didn’t. They kept their professionalism and got some chances and got some good moments of football with some good combinations. Jermain has the goalscoring ability and once again he proved it tonight. What we are trying to do is build a strong team with strong players and everyone has to compete for a place,” said Villas-Boas.

The team will be preparing for a weekend’s match against archrivals Arsenal.

MICHU THE REVELATION

Swansea striker Michu was a revelation in the Premier league last season. Even though he cost the club only around £ 2 million, he managed to score almost 20 goals in an incredible season that helped Swansea achieve their first victory in a major trophy. The club also finished ninth in the Premier league. Michu was so prominent in Swansea’s excellent season that there was even talk of him being called up for the Spanish national team. The former Malaga forward, though, was not eventually picked for the Confederations cup despite his impressive form.

Michu will also have to face competition from Ivory Coast international Wilfried Bony, who has arrived at the club for a record £ 12 million. In comparison with Michu, Bony will have pressure straightaway in order to deliver goals. The Spaniard, though, is confident that this increased competition for places will help the club benefit over the course of the campaign. Michu has said that he does not think his position is that danger because he has the ability to play as a second striker as well.

He has recalled to he scored a majority of his goals from playing just behind the main striker. He expects the physical presence of Wilfried Bony to play to his advantage.

“I scored more goals when I played behind a striker last season. It was important for Swansea to bring in a top striker and Bony is a super player. We are stronger and no-one is guaranteed a place to start the season,” said the striker. Swansea will also have to take into consideration the effects of playing in the Europa league. Their entry into the competition starts with the qualifying matches from Thursday. This is likely to see them playing a huge number of matches if they make it into the group stages.
