Boy wonder who tore apart Man Utd and was wanted by Real Madrid now worth just £1.75m

by www.dailystar.co.uk Leave a Comment

Pione Sisto had the world at his feet after tearing apart Manchester United to earning links to Real Madrid – but things haven’t gone to plan

Now 28 and recently signing for mid-table Turkish outfit Alanyaspor, the forward hasn’t played for the Denmark national side since back in 2020. The peak of his career might well have been during Midtjylland’s Europa League run of 2015/16 – when he stole the headlines.

Scouts from Real Madrid , Barcelona, Milan and Juventus are believed to watch the dynamic young forward in action as he scored both home and away against United before Midtjylland crashed out of the competition.

The European showcase came three years after he broke into the Midtjylland first-team having progressed through their youth academy after beginning his career with Tjorring.

His four full seasons with Midtjylland brought 31 goals with Celta Vigo winning the race to sign him for a fee of around £5million.

Despite showing glimpses of his ability, he rejoined Midtjylland with a year left on his five-year deal and managed another 15 goals across 101 games.

Sisto joined Super Lig club Alanyaspor earlier this month as he looks to recreate his early season form with Transfermarkt having his current value at £1.75m – having once been seven times higher.

His international career was also underwhelming, with one goal across 26 caps and a poor run of form at the 2018 World Cup.

Sisto proclaimed himself to be ‘the most hated person in Denmark’ due to his performances, more recently revealing that he suffered from bouts of depression following the tournament.

Sisto now has the chance to get his career back on track under the guidance of Omer Erdogan, with team-mates including former Swansea man Leroy Fer.

Sisto said on his arrival: “I would like to thank our president very much. I came to a very beautiful city.

“I can’t wait to meet our fans. After my transfer was complete, messages started coming from the fans. I thank them very much for their interest.”

Vinicius Junior’s Real Madrid return comes at perfect time with trip to face Napoli in UCL looming

Real Madrid got back to winning ways on Wednesday with a 2-0 win over Las Palmas at Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga thanks to Brahim Diaz and Joselu goals. It was not enough to go back to the top of the Spanish topflight, though, given Girona’s unbeaten start to the season which keeps them one point ahead after seven games.

Real were well beaten 3-1 by Madrid rivals Atletico last weekend to end what had been a strong opening phase of the campaign for Carlo Ancelotti’s side. However, arguably a bigger positive than the victory against the Canary Island side was the return of Vinicius Junior who came on after 57 minutes to replace Joselu.

The Brazilian superstar was due to be involved against Atleti before illness struck to rule him out of the derby but his previous involvement before Wednesday dated back more than one month. Losing Vini Jr. during an early term flurry of injuries which included potential season-ending issues for both Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao threw a sizeable spanner in the works for Ancelotti.

Factor in summer signing Arda Guler’s recurrent injury problems since his arrival in Spain and now a potential injury to David Alaba too after he came off vs. Las Palmas, and it adds up. Ancelotti is already doing the best he can to extract the maximum from the likes of veteran midfield pair Luka Modric and Toni Kroos by limiting their game time for maximum impact.

Jude Bellingham has stepped into the middle and has started life with Los Blancos extremely well with five goals and one assist already. The decorated Croat and dependable German still offer important experience and almost unrivaled technique in the midfield despite their advancing ages along with Fede Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga.

Arguably Ancelotti’s biggest headache, though, is the fact that this Real side are largely relying upon the veteran Joselu to lead the attack. The 33-year-old Spanish journeyman has three goals and an assist so far this campaign but he has been out-scored by the impressive Bellingham who is currently punching well above his statistical expectations.

Vini Jr. should help to ease the burden on Joselu with a more consistent goal threat to also relieve Rodrygo of some of the pressure created by an early term reliance upon the Brazilian. Alaba’s absence is likely to be more complicated, though, given that Antonio Rudiger is also a doubt ahead of this weekend’s trip to face unbeaten La Liga leaders Girona in Catalonia.

Such a scenario leaves Ancelotti with just one fully fit central defensive option — veteran captain Nacho Fernandez — which will almost certainly dictate a reshuffle at the back for the Italian. It is in keeping with most of this season’s theme so far of Ancelotti constantly having to find solutions for multiple problems which have appeared on an almost weekly basis.

Barcelona being held by Mallorca earlier this week has helped to keep things fairly tight at the top with nobody running away with an early campaign lead. Girona is a chance, despite all of those issues, for Real to actually seize control of the Spanish topflight ahead of a tricky away day against Napoli in UEFA Champions League Group C after a late win over Union Berlin in the opener.

Considering how this term has gone so far, it might get worse before it gets better for Ancelotti set to join the Brazil national team role and has seen Xabi Alonso as well as Roberto De Zerbi linked with his hotseat. Beating Girona at Montilivi with the returning Vini Jr. would be an ideal way to relieve some of that pressure and to keep the growing critics relatively quiet.

Chelsea legend Frank Leboeuf names five players club should make January transfer moves for

by www.thesun.co.uk Leave a Comment

CHELSEA legend Franck Leboeuf has named FIVE players he believes Mauricio Pochettino should look to sign in January.

The Blues’ Argentine boss has endured a rocky start to life at Stamford Bridge.

The 51-year-old has only managed to secure one win and two draws from their opening six Premier League matches.

That is despite owner Todd Boehly and Clearlake splashing out over £1BILLION on players over the past year.

Supporters, who have no European football to look forward to this term, were provided with a glimmer of hope of some silverware last night when summer signing Nicolas Jackson secured them victory over Brighton in the Carabao Cup .

However, former Chelsea defender Leboeuf, who won two FA Cups, a League Cup and the Uefa Cup and Super Cup during his five years at the club, believes Poch still needs a lot more to get them back on top.

The French 1998 World Cup winner told Casinos En Ligne : “Chelsea need a striker and an experienced midfielder.

“I said last season that [Aleksandr] Mitrovic would be good – he’s not world-class, but he’s a leader and a fighter.

“Victor Osimhen is having problems at Napoli, and maybe Chelsea can go for him in January.

“There’s also Nantes’ Mostafa Mohamed – I think he could do a good job.

“Chelsea also need help in midfield, someone like Toni Kroos or Luka Modric. They may be older and not play as many games, but they could definitely serve the club well.”

The prospect of any of the above arriving in West London appear to be slim due to a mix of reasons.

Mitrovic left neighbours Fulham for Saudi Arabian club Al-Hila l in a £46m move last month.

And Boehly’s transfer strategy has been to target younger players that should have a large resale value rather than veterans.

That would likely rule out Real Madrid’s experienced midfield duo Kroos, 33, and Modric, 38.

Nantes Egyptian forward Mohamed, 25, would fit the bill and has four goals in five Ligue 1 matches this term.

Meanwhile, they have been linked with Napoli ace Osimhen for months, and this week’s social media scandal could help them in that pursuit.

The Nigerian star, 24, refused to celebrate after scoring in last night’s 4-1 win over Udinese .

The hotshot also opted against taking a penalty after being mocked by the Italian club’s TikTok account.

Napoli ‘s official TikTok page shared a video mocking the forward for missing a spot kick in their 0-0 draw with Bologna on Sunday.

The now deleted clip enraged Osimhen and the rest of the squad – and that appeared to lead to him deciding against taking a pen yesterday as he handed over spot-kick duties to Piotr Zielinski , who made no mistake to put the Gli Azzurri 1-0 up.

Another now-deleted post reportedly saw the club release a video featuring a cropped photo of Osimhen’s head on a coconut with audio over the clip saying: “I’m a coconut.”

It’s widely viewed as a racial slur.

Osimhen’s agent, Robert Calenda, wrote on X on Monday: “What happened today on Napoli’s official profile on the TikTok platform is not acceptable.

“A video mocking Victor was first made public and then, but now belatedly, deleted.

“A serious fact that causes very serious damage to the player. And adds to the treatment that the boy is suffering in the last period between media trials and fake news.”

He then added: “We reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor.”

Lionel Messi misses Inter Miami final as Zinedine Zidane’s trip to watch is ‘ruined’

by www.dailystar.co.uk Leave a Comment

Zinedine Zidane’s visit to Inter Miami to watch Lionel Messi in action was ruined by the Argentine’s injury.

A packed out crowd at DRV PNK Stadium, Fort Lauderdale, hoped to catch a glimpse of Messi in the US Open Cup final against Houston Dynamo. Even former Real Madrid manager Zidane, an old Los Blancos team-mate of Miami co-owner David Beckham , turned up for the occasion.

But fans – who splashed out on tickets ranging from $400 to $4000 – were left bitterly disappointed when news came through that captain Messi was not even on the bench. And his side failed to add to their Leagues Cup victory by losing 2-1 to Houston.

The World Cup winner, 36, could only watch from the stands due to what manager Tata Martino called fatigue, after a gruelling run of fixtures for both club and country. Griffin Dorsey and Amine Bassi scored in the first-half, before Josef Martinez pulled one back for the Herons late on.

Despite the disappointment of not seeing him work his magic, Zidane did get to meet Messi after travelling all that way. The three-time Champions League-winning manager posed for a picture in the dressing room with the former Barcelona captain, who he faced numerous times with Madrid during their time in Spain.

Zidane, who managed Real Madrid from 2016 to 2018 and then from 2019 to 2021, has not taken on a management role since. He won three consecutive Champions League winners’ medals as well as two La Liga titles in the dugout.

Yet the 1998 World Cup winner is far from the only big name to try to catch a glimpse of Messi in action this season. A-list celebrities such as Will Ferrell, P Diddy, DJ Khaled, Serena Williams, Selena Gomez and Michael Jordan have all flocked to Florida to watch footballing royalty following Messi’s much-needed escape from PSG .
