Van Dijk Praises His Former Teammate, soon Arsenal’s Player?
One of the best defenders in the world Virgil Van Dijk has recently talked a lot about his former teammate Kieran Tierney, the former Celtic player who is most likely going to make a move to Arsenal FC soon. Van Dijk encouraged Tierney to accept the Premier League challenge ahead of him. The left-back has a lot of potentials, and his quality was more than evident in Celtic’s UEFA Champions Qualifying matches against Sarajevo and Nomme Kalju. The Glasgow Giants have already refused two offers coming from the Emirates, sticking to their initial $31 million release fee. Virgil was a member of the Bhoys between 2013 and 2015 before making a move to the Premier League (Southampton). During his stay in Scotland Tierney had a debut as a 17 – years old. Since then, Tierney collected 110 appearances for Celtic FC, including 11 games for the Scottish national football team. He also won the Scottish Writers’ and Players’ Young Player of the Year for three consecutive times! He would surely be a great addition to the Gunners who seem to struggle when it comes to their backline for years now.

Dybala In, Lukaku Out?
Juventus fans are seemingly not happy with a potential swap on the horizon. Allegedly, the Old Lady is ready to swap Paulo Dybala for Manchester United’s Romelu Lukaku. There is no big need to mention that people at Old Trafford would accept this offer in a matter of seconds if it was true. There was a lot of money spent to get Lukaku to Old Trafford. The Belgium international scored 42 goals in the last two campaigns but it seems that is just not enough to make him stay. The main reason behind his potential departure is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s strategy on the pitch where he doesn’t see Lukaku fit, being after a bit more mobile strikers. Marcus Rashford is doing one hell of a job keeping his number nine position in Manchester, so the stories about Lukaku’s potential transfer are not surprising at all.
Inter Milan was the most persistent club in Europe that tried to get Lukaku’s signature. However, every one of their four offers was declined by Manchester United. The Dybala – Lukaku swap is still at the early stage of negotiations, but there is no doubt The Reds would be the potential winners here. Fans welcomed this idea, as Dybala could replace Jesse Lingard or Andreas Pereira in the starting line up with current Solskjaer’s formation.
The Argentine striker was originally noticed wearing Palermo jersey in 2010. Three years after he was brought to Torino and played a crucial role in winning many Serie A and domestic cups.
