Another exciting Premier League weekend is ahead, marking the last set of matches before the international break. Crystal Palace remains the only London team yet to secure a win this season, and their challenge won’t get any easier as they prepare to take on league leaders Liverpool.
Fulham has had a strong start, while Brentford has also performed respectably. Meanwhile, frustrations are mounting at West Ham. Here’s a roundup of the latest news surrounding Premier League clubs ahead of the weekend’s action:
Eze Update
Crystal Palace’s star player, Eberechi Eze, reportedly plans to seek a move in 2025. Despite being expected to draw significant interest during the summer transfer window, no offers materialized.
According to Football Insider, Eze is now aiming for a transfer next year after missing out on selection for the England squad. Palace is expected to demand a hefty fee for their creative playmaker, and it remains to be seen which Premier League clubs will be prepared to meet their asking price.
Silva Considered for Manchester United?
Manchester United has reportedly earmarked Fulham manager Marco Silva as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag, should they decide to part ways with the Dutchman. As per FootballTransfers, Silva has impressed the United board and may be considered for the role.
Silva has guided Fulham to a strong start, placing them near the top four in the early stages of the season. The Portuguese manager also brings extensive Premier League experience.
Lopetegui Addresses Kudus Dispute
West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui has responded to claims of a disagreement with Mohammed Kudus, who was reportedly upset after being substituted in the last match.
In his latest press conference, Lopetegui stated: “What matters is the team’s performance, not just one or two players. Football is a team sport, and the only way to succeed is to play together. The substitution was for tactical reasons. In the second half, we played as a team, and for me, that was a crucial improvement. I praised the team’s second-half display because it met the needs of the game.”
