Inter Milan are hot on the trail of Sampdoria midfielder Roberto Soriano, .
The Nerazzurri are expected to reinforce the squad in the winter and the 23-year-old midfielder is high on their wish list.
Inter will have a perfect opportunity to make a check on Soriano when the two sides square off at Giuseppe Meazza tomorrow evening, with .
Roberto Soriano was born in Germany and went through the youth ranks at Bayern Munich before joining Sampdoria in 2009.
He quickly developed into an important player for the Bluecerchiati and has so far made 76 league appearances for the club, scoring 6 goals.
The midfielder has a contract until June 2017 at Marassi and has been linked with Valencia in the past.
Soriano is just one of several Italian footb…
Kieran Trippier signed an extension to his Newcastle United contract on Friday, as the England defender compared Eddie Howe s Magpies to Diego Simeone s Atletico Madrid.
The 32-year-old was a LaLiga winner with Simeone s industrious Atletico team before making the switch to Newcastle in January 2022, becoming the first major signing of the club s new Saudi-led ownership era.
He and Newcastle have enjoyed a strong year, fending off relegation worries last season before soaring up the Premier League table this term, sitting third and winning the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final against Southampton 1-0.
Tripper s new deal means he is adding 12 months to the deal he signed when arriving at St James Park, committing through to the end of the 2024-25 season.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is ready to bid for Aston Villa’s Fabian Delph as he looks for a long term replacement for outgoing captain Steven Gerrard, .
Delph’s contract is set to be out of contact at the end of the season, so the Reds boss is keen to secure a cut price deal for the midfielder this month.
Should a move for the former Leeds United man be finalised, it could spell the end of Lucas Leiva’s time at Anfield, with the Brazilian linked with a move to Serie A side Napoli, where he would reunite with Rafael Benitez – the man who took him to Merseyside in July 2007.
England international Delph has made over a hundred and twenty appearances in all competitions for Villa since arriving from Elland Road in the summer of 2009, scoring six go…
Jesse Lingard might have been entering Manchester United s League Cup fourth-round tie against Middlesbrough as a derby-day hero.
The 22-year-old came on for only his fourth senior United appearance during Sunday s 0-0 Premier League draw against rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford and was closest to breaking the deadlock, volleying Anthony Martial s lofted pass against the crossbar with five minutes remaining.
Lingard started United s 1-1 draw against CSKA Moscow in the Champions League last week and team-mate Phil Jones was impressive with the midfielder s contribution against City.
It looked like it [Lingard s effort] was in but that is the luck you need sometimes, Jones told United s official website.
Maybe it could have hit the bar, it could ha…

Hoping to make an immediate return to winning ways in the early hours of Thursday, Orlando will travel to BMO Field when they meet. Toronto.
Starting with the hosts, finishing rock-bottom of the Eastern Conference table last season and coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, Toronto have once again shown a string of issues since opening up the 2024 campaign. Suffering last-gasp heartbreak away at Atlanta last weekend as they suffered a 2-1 defeat, John Herdman’s men have lost all of their previous four MLS appearances by an aggregate score of 11-3. Likewise, the Reds have managed to muster just a pair of points from any off their last seven consecutive top-flight battles. With their recent struggles underlined by a woefu…
Under-pressure head coach Slavisa Jokanovic has received backing from midfielder Tom Cairney after Fulham equalled a Premier League record for goals conceded.
A 3-0 defeat at home to in-form Bournemouth on Saturday, in which captain Kevin McDonald was sent off, means Fulham have shipped 28 goals in 10 fixtures after their return to the top flight.
No team has ever conceded more in the first 10 games of a Premier League season, with Jokanovic s side levelling the poor records of Barnsley (1997-98) and Southampton (2012-13).
Fulham spent approximately £100million on players in the transfer window but four straight Premier League defeats has heightened scrutiny of the Serbian s position.
Cairney, though, is backing Jokanovic to turn it around for Fulham, w…

On Saturday evening, Jurgen Klopp s Liverpool side will be hoping their Champions League success earlier in the week will help revitalise the Reds Premier League season. Liverpool will make the journey to East London for matchday 11 and will be hosted by a West Ham side who are flirting with relegation at the bottom of the table.
West Ham
In the build-up to Saturday s match, Hammers boss Slaven Bilic added to his own ever-mounting pressure when the Croatian manager said that he needs to get something out of this game as his position edges closer to being untenable. After mounting an historic comeback to beat cross-town rivals Tottenham 3-2 at Wembley last month, West Ham looked like a side who might …
that Germany international midfielder Kevin Grosskreutz could be leaving Borussia Dortmund this summer.
The highly rated footballer has struggled for playing time since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel and he didn t even make a single appearance in club s first four games of the season.
This means that he could leave the Millionaires in search of first team football, with Eintracht Frankfurt confirming interest in his services.
“There is a contact with the consultants. But, nothing more,” Eintracht chief Heribert Bruchhagen told Frankfurter Rundschau.
Kevin Grosskreutz, 27, joined Borussia Dortmund from Rot Weiss Ahlen in 2009 and has since made 176 Bundesliga appearances and scored 23 goals in total.
The Germany international is no longer an un…
Steven Gerrard dedicated Rangers first win over Celtic in 90 minutes since 2012 to the club s fans while claiming their 1-0 victory could have been by a wider margin.
Ryan Jack s first goal for the club moved Rangers level on points with Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership as Gerrard triumphed over his former manager at Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers.
The title race is now hotting up and Gerrard felt the 1-0 result could have been more emphatic in favour of his side.
This moment is all about the supporters, they’ve been through a lot, he told Sky Sports. Over the last couple of years they’ve been punished in these fixtures, so today is all about the supporters.
The players to a man were outstanding, all over the pitch. I asked them to win mo…
