Newcastle fans react as ex-players Georginio Wijnaldum and Moussa Sissoko reach Champions League final with Liverpool and Tottenham
Newcastle fans are still reeling after two of their former players will be facing each other in this seasons Champions League final.Georginio Wijnaldum scored twice for Liverpool as they completed a remarkable comeback against Barcelona on Tuesday.Getty2Moussa Sissoko then helped Tottenham to come from behind and beat Ajax, setting up an all-English final next month.Wijnaldum played just one season with Newcastle and was part of their relegation season in 2015/16 before signing for the Reds in a deal worth 25million.Getty2Sissoko spent three-and-a-half seasons with the club after signing in January 2013, for just 1.5million, and again left when they went down to the Championship.Spurs picked him up for 30million and has become a key part of Mauricio Pochettinos side, despite a poor start to his time with the club. Newcastle fans cannot believe they managed to get relegated with both of those players in their side and laid the blame squarely at Steve McClarens door.Either Wijnaldum or Sissoko will become a Champions League winner when the two clubs face each other in Madrid on June 1.Here is how some Newcastle fans reacted following the semi-final results.

When we signed Wijnaldum from #NUFC I felt a tad deflated, he did well for them at home as an attacking midfielder, I think he got 13 goals (4 vs Norwich), but was a bit underwhelming. Fast forward he is one of the most underrated players in Europe as a CM. Brilliant for Klopp.— Red Machine (@AshiqueNasar) May 8, 2019

West Ham handed major boost as Declan Rice signs new long-term contract
West Ham have tied Declan Rice down to a new long-term contract.The 19-year-old has been one of the Hammers’ standout players in a defensive midfield role this season, making 19 appearances in all competitions.2There has been intense speculation over his future in recent months, as his previous deal was due to expire in 2020.However, he has now handed the club a major boost by committing his long-term future to the Londoners.The new deal ties Rice to West Ham until 2024, with the club also retaining an option to extend it for a further year.It is understood to be worth around 30,000-per-week, plus bonuses – a huge increase on his previous contract.Im absolutely delighted to have got the contract done, signed and to commit my future to the club until 2024. Im absolutely ecstatic, the teenager told the club’s official website.2Without a doubt, the plan was always to stay at West Ham. Ive had the support from the fans, from the players and from the manager and now, to get it done and commit myself to this club is a very special moment and Im over the moon.Ive now played 50 games for the first team and Im progressing week-in, week-out, learning from a top manager and top players.“Im still young, so to put more years on my contract and keep developing here is the best thing for me to do now. With the support of the manager, the players, everyone, it was the right thing to do.On Thursday night, Rice produced another outstanding performance in front of the defence as the Hammers defeated Southampton 2-1 to move up to ninth in the Premier League.  West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan said: Signing Declan to a new long-term contract is something we have been planning for and working round the clock on and I, the board, the manager and Declan himself are all very happy that everything has now been completed.Finalising contracts takes time but it has always been our intention to keep our best players particularly those who have come through our academy at West Ham United and build our club for the future.“I finalised the deal on Christmas Day and have been working to get the paperwork done as quickly as possible and Id especially like to thank club secretary Andrew Pincher, one of our great unsung heroes, for working with me through Christmas to get this over the line.”Id also like to give a special mention to academy director, Terry Westley, who has been instrumental in working with Declan over the years to develop and nurture his talent.Declans new contract comes hot on the heels of Mark Noble also extending his stay at the club. That news, along with the outstanding form of the team and the increase to a 60,000 capacity at London Stadium are all signs that we are moving in the right direction.”

Chelsea face competition from Bayern Munich in race to sign Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic
Bayern Munich have joined Chelsea in the race to sign Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic, according to reports.The Croat, who has spent four-and-a-half years with the Catalan giants, is concerned about his playing time due to the impending arrival of Ajax starlet Frenkie De Jong.2De Jong is regarded as one of the most promising stars in Europe and he sealed a 60million switch to La Blaugrana in January which will be confirmed in the summer.This has raised concerns for Rakitic, 30, who is now wary of his long-term future with the LaLiga club. Barca boss Ernesto Valverde is keen for the World Cup finalist to extend his contract, which currently runs until 2021, as he has become one of the most important members of his team.However, if the midfielder fails to extend his deal, a bid of 44million will reportedly be enough to prise him away from LaLiga.Chelsea have shown interest in the playmaker – and although Fifa have banned them from signing players for the next two windows – an appeal will likely allow them one last chance to spend in the summer.2In a fresh development, Sport are reporting Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are also interest in signing Rakitic.Bayern chiefs are admirers of the Croat and are keen to add to reinforcements to their midfield as James Rodriguez is set to return to Real Madrid in the summer.He has proven his ability in Germany’s top-flight following his four year stint with Schalke from 2007-11.This year he has proven once again invaluable to Valverde’s table-topping side, featuring in 23 of their 24 matches and providing two goals an assist,.

Heung-Min Son: A stat to prove how badly Tottenham need their star scoring goals against Watford
Fresh from their two Cup exits, Tottenham host Watford in the Premier League on Wednesday.Spurs lost to Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-final on Thursday, then Crystal Palace dumped them out of the FA Cup four days later.2In between that, though, there was good news when South Korea were dumped out of the Asian Cup, meaning Heung-Min Son is returning early.Tottenham are without Harry Kane and Dele Alli until March, but can now call upon Son, who has scored 12 goals in all competitions this season and created seven.In fact, against Watford, 11 of the 15 Premier League goals Spurs have scored against the Hornets – under manager Mauricio Pochettino – have been tucked away by Alli, Kane and Son. Hes so tired, he played three games. Very tough games,” Pochettino said when discussing Son’s return to training.We hope hell be available and ready on Wednesday to help the team.Pochettino will use Son as he tries to maintain Tottenhams push for a top-four finish in the Premier League, an achievement the Argentine says is still their main target.Having won 2-1 at Vicarage Road in September, Watford are looking to do the league double over Spurs for the very first time.2If they do win, Watford could become the first side to do the league double over a big six side from outside of those clubs since the 2015/16 season when West Ham beat Liverpool and Newcastle beat Tottenham.Spurs, though, are unbeaten in their last seven home games against Watford in all competitions (won six, drawn one) since a 2-3 League Cup loss in October 1994.
