Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles has talked up the fantastic job done by Steve Bruce since he was appointed as the club’s manager. The 59-year-old took charge of the Magpies last summer shortly after Rafael Benitez decided to move on from the club. Initially, there was much criticism over the club’s decision to appoint Bruce but he has managed to win over some of the supporters with the team’s performances this term.

Premier League football club Arsenal has been instructed to make a decision right away on the future of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the coming summer. According to the striker’s contract, he just has one year in North London. Several rumors are being linked with him about his moves to abroad clubs as well as to other Premier League clubs. His record in the Premier League has meant a lot of links to him moving to Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester United that cropped up some months ago. The Gabon International is turning 31 the coming summer, but talks and discussions are on over a new deal between the club and the representatives of Aubameyang and they are yet to settle down for an agreement.

This will leave Arsenal in a situation that is very delicate to them which they might have seen before when Alexis Sanchez left the club with six months to finish his contract in the year 2018. On the other hand, Mesut Ozil extended his stay with the club till the January transfer window in the same year. Aaron Ramsey moved to Juventus in the 2019 summer on the basis of a free transfer. For avoiding any of the above situations occurring again, Charlie Nicholas, a former player of Arsenal said that the Gunners need to take the crucial decision at the end of the ongoing season.

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has said that Bayern Munich Serge Gnabry was not mature enough at former side Arsenal. The Germany international has transformed into an exceptional attacker since his breakthrough season with Bayern last term and he has already contributed 30 goals in all competitions for the club.

Out of those, he has bagged 17 goals during the course of the current campaign and he has also impressed with his distribution in the final third with 10 assists. Gnabry recently starred against Chelsea in the Champions League by scoring a brace and speaking after that game, Giroud appreciated the progress made by the former Gunners graduate.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident that the Red Devils will improve on their attacking displays in the coming weeks with Anthony Martial making his injury comeback. The Frenchman has recently returned to action after a two-month absence with a thigh injury and he found the net during the 1-0 win over Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League.

Speaking ahead of the Norwich City game, Solskjaer acknowledged that the Red Devils have lacked the necessary penetration in the final third of the field but the same should improve with the presence of Martial upfront, he told: “We’ve not created as many as we like, we’ve not scored as many as we’d like. But now Anthony’s back, got a goal today and I’m sure you’ll see us improve as a team with Anthony in the team because he does give us something different.”

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is pleased with the form of Tammy Abraham this season but won’t comment on the international future of the marksman. The 22-year-old has been the Blues leading scorer this term with seven goals across all competitions and reports have recently emerged that he could be handed with an England call-up after two years.

Speaking in a press conference, he said: “He has been out on loan a lot more scoring goals in the Championship. He has been given his chance this year and has taken it really well, scoring goals. He’s infectious in how he trains around the group with a great personality, giving defenders problems, even against Brighton at the weekend when he didn’t score. His performance was great. He also has more to do. On their international futures it is not my place to tell them what to decide. I never would do with a player.”
