A good night for us – Southgate reacts to England’s win over Bosnia and Herzegovina

England manager Gareth Southgate expressed his satisfaction with his team’s performance following their victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina. Southgate praised his players for their efforts and highlighted the importance of the win in their preparations for upcoming tournaments.

Olise back on Chelsea radar

In the transfer news, Chelsea has reportedly identified Crystal Palace star Michael Olise as one of their top targets for the summer. The Blues will face competition from Manchester United in their pursuit of the talented forward, who impressed last season with 10 goals and six assists.

According to reports, Chelsea has been monitoring Olise closely and is now ready to renew their interest in the 22-year-old. While Olise is happy at Selhurst Park and excited about the potential under new boss Oliver Glasner, he also has high ambitions for his career and is open to possibilities.

Olise’s preference is to play in the Champions League, but he could be tempted by a strong proposal from a club looking to make significant progress. Chelsea will use the increased expectations surrounding Enzo Maresca’s arrival as a selling point to potential recruits like Olise. The club is confident that they can achieve a top-four finish under their new head coach next season.

Potter in talks with Brighton

Former Brighton manager Graham Potter could be set for a return to the club, according to reports. Potter, who left Brighton for Chelsea in 2022, is considered a surprise contender to replace Roberto De Zerbi and has already held talks with his former employers.

Brighton’s chairman Tony Bloom and technical director David Weir are leading the recruitment process and have approached Potter despite his acrimonious departure from the club. The 49-year-old is also believed to be on Manchester United’s shortlist if they decide to part ways with Erik ten Hag.

Bloom and Weir will take their time to assess other candidates, including former Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper and Malmo’s Henrik Rydstrom.

Arsenal make move for Girona star

Arsenal has made a move for Girona winger Viktor Tsygankov, but they face competition from Tottenham and AC Milan. The Gunners are reportedly willing to trigger Tsygankov’s £25.5 million release clause to secure his services.

Tsygankov had an impressive season in La Liga, scoring eight goals and providing seven assists in 30 appearances. While Girona is keen to keep hold of the Ukrainian winger, Arsenal’s approach has put them in pole position to sign him. Tsygankov is under contract with Girona until 2027, but the club may struggle to keep him if a suitable offer comes in.
