GOSSIP: Chelsea and Liverpool target Bertrand

Show/hide article…

LIVERPOOL and Chelsea will target Saints left-back Ryan Bertrand this summer, according to a national newspaper.

The Mirror reports that the 27-year-old is ready to leave Saints, where he’s been since the summer of 2014.

Bertrand initially joined on loan from Chelsea before making the deal permanent in January 2015 in a £10m switch.

He has been a prominent member of the team throughout his stay at St Mary’s and signed a new five-year contract last July, which means he is currently tied to the club until 2021.

However, if reports are to be believed, Bertrand, who has established himself as one of the Premier League’s best full-backs, is now ready to call time on his stay on the South Coast.

Chelsea are said to be interested in bringing Bertrand back to Stamford Bridge, with Antonio Conte keen to bolster their wing-back options.

And, of course, no Saints transfer story would be complete without the obligatory links to Liverpool.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp wants Bertrand having used James Milner as a makeshift left-back this season.

Koeman: My dream is to manage Barcelona

Show/hide article…

FORMER Saints boss Ronald Koeman dreams of coaching former club Barcelona - but insists he is committed to the challenge of getting Everton into the Champions League first.

The former defender, who spent six years at the Nou Camp between 1989 and 1995, has regularly been linked with a return to his old club after Luis Enrique announced he was stepping down at the end of the season.

Koeman, in the first season of a three-year contract having arrived from Saints last summer, has previously dismissed the Barcelona links and stressed he has a job to do on Merseyside.

However, that has not stopped him admitting his ambitions stretch to a return to the Spanish giants.

“Everyone knows that I am from Barca, they know my love for a club where I grew up as a player and as a person,” he told Catalan newspaper Sport.

"In football, as in life, as in business, everything can be talked about and discussed.

"In my life as a professional coach I have two dreams to fulfil. One, coach the selection of my country, Holland (he was previously assistant to Guus Hiddink for the 1998 World Cup) "My other wish, my other dream, is to one day coach Barca. That’s the truth.

“I now owe to Everton. We have a very powerful and exciting project and we will reinforce our best to try to reach next season the Champions League.”

readers’ 12,000/1 Premier League table prediction eerily accurate

Show/hide article…

Sky Sports readers are on the brink of defying 12,000/1 odds with their pre-season Premier League table prediction.

Last June, ahead of the 2016/17 season, we asked you to rank where you thought each Premier League team would finish the campaign.

Tens of thousands of you voted and, 11 months on, with just over two weeks of the season remaining, the predicted table is incredibly close to how the league has panned out.

Not only did you correctly select which teams would be in the top seven, five of those teams are currently in the exact positions predicted.

Indeed, it would only take Manchester City and Southampton to win their games in hand over Liverpool and West Brom, respectively, for the entire top eight to have been correctly forecast by Sky Sports readers.

From Chelsea’s resurgence and Tottenham’s impressive title challenge, to Manchester United and Arsenal’s struggles to reach the top four, you have called all of the major stories at the top of the Premier League.

According to Sky Bet, calling the correct top seven at the start of the season would have earned odds of 12,165/1.

At the other end of the table, you also called five of the current bottom six - although, admittedly, the exact position calls are not as eerily accurate as they are at the top of the league!

Check out the predicted table below, which shows just how knowledgeable our readers are:
