St Etienne forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed that he will decide his long-term future at the end of the season.
The Gabon international has been heavily linked with a number of Premier League sides in recent months, including the likes of Manchester City, Newcastle and Aston Villa.
His fine form this term has alerted multiple potential suitors, with his season’s goal tally already up to 15.
St Etienne are currently fourth in Ligue 1, just one place outside of the Champions League qualification places.
Aubameyang says that booking a spot at the top table of European football will make it difficult to leave, but that no decision has been made yet:
“I am happy with my form again. Scoring is important for a striker and I am on a good run at the moment,” he is quoted by Sky Sports.
“I would love to finish the season strongly for my team and put us in a strong position to fight for a Champions League place.
“If we qualify for that competition it would be difficult for me to leave the club. But my future will be decided at the end of the season.”
St Etienne are by no means desperate to sell the 23-year-old, but it is thought that a bid in region of £10m could be too good for tem to turn down.

Capped 27 times for his home nation, the attacker began his career with Serie A giants AC Milan.
After struggling to force his way into the first-team, he was loaned out to Lille, Monaco and Dijon before making a permanent move to Saint-Etienne.
Chelsea midfielder Gael Kakuta has expressed his concern at the number of midfielders the Blues have and that he hopes to leave permanently in the summer.
Kakuta is currently on loan at Dutch outfit Vitesse Arnhem and has been a major part of their first team throughout the season.
The French under-21 international is not happy that the West London club continue to buy expensive midfield players when they have talented youngsters coming through.
The Blues signed Eden Hazard, Marko Marin, Victor Moses and Oscar this summer that has left Kakuta with no alternative but to find a new club.
Chelsea were given a hefty fine and a transfer embargo after illegally tempting Kakuta to Stamford Bridge in 2007 but six league appearances and four loan spells later it appears his time at the Blues is up.
Kakuta has admitted that he has given up on making it at Chelsea.
“I don’t dream about Chelsea anymore – I used to, now I know better,” Kakuta told The Sun.
“I hope I can join a club like Vitesse next season, where I can play every week.

“Chelsea have far too many players. At my age I need to play regularly but if I go back I’ll just get 10 minutes a month and I don’t want that.”
With Arsenal and Manchester United crashing out of the Champions League in the round of 16 to Bayern Munich and Real Madrid respectively, every journalist across the country has been asking anyone in English football who has an inch of clout, from ex-Liverpool coach Phil Thompson to Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson, whether the Premier League has lost its way, and will this be the end of the English game?
Last night, Arsene Wenger, defiant in defeat after the Gunners’ impressive but futile efforts to turn over a 3-1 defecit, claimed that Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal’s failure to impact Europe’s most prestigious competition this season was a “massive disappointment for English football…a massive wake-up call” and furthermore, “we accept the rest of European football has caught up with us.”
But is it really all doom and gloom? Should we really let one unsuccessful year dictate the state of the Premier League, despite the fact we are home to the reigning Champions of Europe, Chelsea FC? Or rather is it a case of taking a year out, or even just a campaign riddled with slight misfortunes for the English clubs, such as Nani’s now infamous red card.
Part of the logic behind the argument supporting the Arsenal boss’s claim is the poor showing at the top end of the Premier League table this year. With the title race very quickly becoming a one-horse affair as Manchester City and Chelsea struggle for form, Manchester United didn’t need asking twice to take advantage of the situation and form a seemingly unbreakable lead on their rivals, creating a 12 point gap between themselves and second place.
In my opinion, the Premier League title was already decided when Arsene Wenger allowed Robin Van Persie to leave for Old Trafford in the summer, but it is certainly true that although the Red Devils have played well and deserve their credit for producing some exciting football along the way, the rest of the Premier League elite have hardly risen to the challenge.
But to declare the English game is in disarray is rather short-sighted, and ignoring the cases of each particular club. Manchester City have struggled with the inevitable burden of being reigning champions for the first time. It’s an experience none of the squad have had before, and the situation wasn’t improved by some the mild calibre of reinforcements brought in during the summer; Javi Garcia, Jack Rodwell and Scott Sinclair are all good players, but should they really be part of a title-defending side?
Similarly, the ticking time-bomb that was Mario Balotelli’s City career finally exploded, and there has been an overall struggle at the club to meet fans’ expectations. Samir Nasri, Yaya Toure, Vincent Kompany and Gareth Barry are still yet to find fifth gear this campaign, and it is now most likely too late.
Chelsea’s season was essentially over before it had started following the sacking of Roberto Di Matteo back in November last year. It was not the Italian’s departure that sealed their fate, but rather the appointment of Rafa Benitez, which would put the interim manager, the players, the owner and the club under constant media scrutiny with a new controversy or dramatic episode rearing its ugly head on a weekly basis around Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have lost out this season simply due to the club’s inability to find any stability on and off the pitch, and furthermore, the first-team is transitioning between two generations of players that are fundamental opposites; whilst the Old Guard pride themselves on their physicality and mechanical nature of their play, the new boys, such as Eden Hazard and Oscar, are all about technique, skill, flair and improvisation.
Meanwhile, Liverpool and Arsenal, two Premier League heavyweights and former members of the traditional top four, which Alan Hansen once declared would never be broken, have been suffering from their mistakes in the transfer market. Whilst the former can be accused of being rather over-zealous in their offers made for mainly English talent, the latter have been unambitious, and it has lead to the gradual depreciation of the first team. Although I have firm faith in Chelsea and Manchester City putting on a better showing next season, the problems at Anfield and the Emirates are structural, and will take longer to overcome – especially now that Tottenham have proved themselves as real contenders this year.
One can’t deny however, that defending has quite simply gone out of the window this year. It’s created some excellent episodes of Match of the Day, but it’s not hard to work out how English clubs have been caught out by their more clinical and defensively organised continental rivals, proven by some statistics provided by The Guardian calculating English teams have let in on average 1.4 goals per game in Europe this year, up from the 1.1 goals per game from last season, and the 0.89 from 2010/2011.
It’s not an institutional problem as such, but rather how the English game evolves in terms of cycles. Whilst this campaign, scoring goals has been the impetus – a characteristic personified most by Man United, who have three strikers capable of scoring at least 20 goals per season – that at some point will naturally shift back towards organisation and defensive stability, as soon as one club proves it is the most efficient way to win the title, just as Jose Mourinho did back in 2004.
Similarly, the Premier League’s reputation for being the best in the world is perhaps a case of hyperbole. Although we have the thickest spread of talent throughout the division, compared to the top flights of other European countries, I find it difficult to claim the title of being the world’s best whilst the two figureheads of World football currently, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, both ply their trade in La Liga. Furthermore, the startling ease at which the ex-La Liga cohort at Swansea City have took to the English game and performed well, without requiring time to acclimatise, should go some way to change English preconceptions about middle-order players from the Spanish top flight.

The German League is also on the up. The rise of Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga has improved the whole division, and there is now considerable quality throughout. But to say that they have “caught up” with us would certainly be an overstatement. This season is the first year since 2001/2002 that there have been two German clubs in the quarter final stages. Furthermore, since 1996, English clubs have reached the quarter-finals 33 times, whereas Spain sits at 32, and Germany a long way off with 20.
Just as it would be wrong to base your opinions on Manchester City’s, Arsenal’s, Chelsea’s or even Liverpool’s future on one season alone, it would be wrong to judge the English game on the same premise. It is clear that this year represents a blip in form, with some transitions at domestic level affecting performance in Europe.
Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have all had poor campaigns by their usual standards, and the Premier League’s most in-form team, Manchester United, that could have gone on to mount a serious challenge for the Champions League trophy, were eliminated from the tournament via a rather dubious refereeing decision. To truly discover whether English football is falling to the wayside, it must be judged on a season in which our clubs are firing on all cylinders, and yet still come up short in Europe, not whilst our top teams are still getting their houses in order.
It was one of the more unusual images created this season: Barcelona celebrating wildly in the corner of the pitch at the Camp Nou following Jordi Alba’s goal in the 4-0 thumping of AC Milan, only for Alex Song to emerge from the sea of players and coaches.
Song has felt the sting of reality at Barcelona since arriving last summer. It’s been the knockback he’s needed in his football career, with the arrogance and cavalier approach at Arsenal proving to be completely unwarranted. The word has been that the player is unhappy with life on the substitute’s bench, while there have even been subtle hints of a return to Arsenal. For now, chalk this one up as another player who left Arsenal in hope of a better life, only to be left with little to nothing at the end of the tunnel.
[cat_link cat=”arsenal” type=”list”]
And you can’t say it’s not deserved. Song grew into a player at Arsenal who believed he was better than he was. He was filled with a sense of overwhelming importance, as if the team would crumble without his presence and lofted through balls to Robin van Persie. Unlike his breakout and best Premier League season in 2008-09, Song’s last campaign with Arsenal confirmed him to be something of a one-trick pony; certainly not through lack of ability, but absolutely through lack of desire.
Barcelona’s approach and eventual signing of the player was far more about the financial issues at the club than their unwavering wish to add Song to their squad. And in many ways, we’re seeing the product of that now. Javi Martinez could have been lining up for Barcelona against Bayern Munich, perhaps even alongside Pique in defence instead of the hugely inexperienced Marc Bartra. It’s what they needed, a player who could take up a role in defence or use his muscle as a protective barrier in midfield. Instead of shelling out on Martinez’s €40million release clause, they, ironically, went down the Arsenal route and saw a cheaper alternative at the Emirates. It fed into Song’s already inflated ego, and you really were keen to see the outcome of his attitude mixed with the strict and disciplined approach at the Barcelona training ground.
It’s for this reason that Arsene Wenger is so reluctant to sign former players. While it has been encouraged in the past with one or two names, on the whole the manager has got it right in not allowing players such as Alex Hleb an opportunity to really get their career back on track. It’s a simple matter of the players abandoning Arsenal after years or education, only to discover their complete misjudgement of both the situation and themselves.
You can’t really make a strong claim that Song has a future in the Premier League after this season. He hasn’t been at his very best for a few years, and what exactly could he provide to clubs in England? The links to Tottenham were a little strange, not just because of the rivalry. Where does Song act as improvement over what they have, other than just providing depth?
The player has seemingly gone full circle, yet for slightly different reasons. Song was quickly labelled as a failed project well before the educating really began at Arsenal. He looked nothing of a player good enough for a top Premier League side, and now, while clearly having improved, is no closer to earning a place back among England’s elite.
A move to France may be on the cards for the player, and you couldn’t totally dismiss the idea of Song being sold to PSG this summer. He’s provided extremely little for what Barcelona needed of him this season, and his actions and behaviour have burnt the bridges of a potential move back to Arsenal.

Amusing that Wenger suggested the player try another season with Barcelona after his disappointing first year. More than anything, it looked like a subtle hint that the door is firmly closed for a way back to the Emirates.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is pondering the future of midfielder Jonjo Shelvey as Norwich City became the first team to make an enquiry, according to the Daily Mail.
Shelvey is with the England under-21’s in Isreal at present and is to be allowed an extended holiday once he returns.
The 21-year-old has been a bit part player for Rodgers this season although his passion and creativity have shone when he got his chance.
Norwich are looking to spend big this summer in order to continue their stability in the top flight and having already tied down Ricky Van Wolfswinkel they have moved on to Shelvey.
West Ham have also been linked with a move for the former Charlton lad who may need to leave Merseyside in order to further his career and gain regular first team football.
Liverpool are expected to want more than the £5million Norwich are offering and so a bidding war and negotiations are set to unfold.

For a team as rich in history as Liverpool F.C, there hasn’t half been some tosh pull on the famous red shirt and walk past the ‘This is Anfield’ sign. Although the Reds might have picked up seven domestic trophies and three European ones since the inception of the Premier League, they have never quite managed to pull off the big one, indeed their last league title came under Kenny Dalglish in 1990.
Although there have been some great players turning out for the club in the Premier League era, think Steven Gerrard, Sami Hyypia or Robbie Fowler, some of their other signings have been simply miserable. Old boss Rafa Benitez had a reputation for loading his squad with unheard-of, and often useless players, while more recently, Kenny Dalglish went the other way, paying big fees for overrated talent.
There are a lot of contenders for such a team, but we’ve selected the worst XI signings to play for Liverpool in the Premier League era. See if you agree:

News that Paul Pogba may be sold by Juventus sooner rather than later has coincided perfectly with the not-so-surprising news that Abou Diaby is more or less out for the rest of the season. But to be fair, he was never really ‘in’.
Forgive me, though, if I don’t thrash around, arms flailing at the thought of Paul Pogba in an Arsenal shirt. I’m not going to attempt to peddle the idea that he isn’t a good player with immense potential; he clearly is. At Juventus, Antonio Conte has the option to rotate Pogba in and out of the side for one of his first-choice midfielders. As well as that, Pogba has shown his versatility by operating from one of the wing-back positions during a current mini injury crisis.
Italy is clearly a re-emerging force in European football, but it’s evident that Serie A hasn’t quite reached the plateau of the Premier League, Bundesliga and La Liga. The fact that France is luring away Italy’s best players is telling enough. Juventus, back-to-back champions, may be powerless to stop a 20-year-old from walking away. They’ll receive a handsome fee from his future club, but for the most part that’s not the point.
[cat_link cat=”arsenal” type=”list”]
In light of Diaby’s perennial injury situation, Pogba would appear the ideal player to fill in where Diaby has been seen as something of an ace. Though it should be noted that for all the high praise Diaby has received – and there has been a lot among Arsenal supporters – he’s not as good or effective as he’s been portrayed. For every good performance can come one or two anonymous outings. But it’s the whole thing of creating hype and hysteria around a player who has been missing for a long period of time. You forget the shortcomings very easily.
But at present, it would be wayward to imply that Pogba, or indeed Diaby, is some kind of missing link in the Arsenal team, as if something isn’t quite right with the current setup.
For much of the summer, Marouane Fellaini was touted as the perfect addition to the Arsenal midfield. People, however, failed to look at his shortcomings. His slow, sluggish approach; his inability to play the brand of football Arsene Wenger deploys, or at least seeks to deploy. The Belgian may be a contrast to the diminutive, technical players at the Emirates, but is he the right complement?
The same goes for Pogba. The first thing that should be said is that Pogba is far more technically skilled than Fellaini, but that’s not how he’s been labelled. His strength, aggressive style and defensive capabilities are the characteristics that people are putting to the fore, rather than his intelligence, for example. Despite how well Arsenal have been performing and the value they’ve seen and extracted from Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta, a powerful midfield figure is still being seen as something of a necessity.
But why do Arsenal need that? Manchester United won a league title last year without a clear defensive midfielder. Fiorentina have gone completely against the grain in fielding three midfielders who are far from defensively minded in David Pizarro, Borja Valero and Alberto Aquilani. And then there’s Barcelona, the unshakeable benchmark for possession football. Spain, too, the best national team in the world, have absolutely nothing in the way of an imposing figure in their midfield.
So the point about Pogba is that while yes, he is a good player who could provide a lot for the Arsenal team, he isn’t a missing link or a player with vital qualities for a top European side; at least not the qualities that most think of him for.

Things are going slightly better at Old Trafford. Since the humiliating and alarming loss at home to West Bromwich, Manchester United have gone on an eight game unbeaten run, and are now just three points off the second spot in the league. After last night’s goalless draw against Real Sociedad, they are also in a strong position to win their group in the Champions League. A season that began with concerns about Moyes’s ability to manage the champions, and escalated in to a media perception of catastrophic proportions, is about to pick itself up.
Yet, the composed but toothless performance against Sociedad suggests that there are still concerns in the United team.
But firstly, let’s establish one thing: Manchester United were never threatened last night. A point away to the fourth best team in Spain is hardly a disaster, and the Reds bossed the home team, creating enough clear cut chances to kill the game. The frailness that weighed them down in the opening league games look resolved, but I have one major problem with David Moyes’s United. They seem so reluctant to attack.
There’s a caution about Man United now that we never saw during Sir Alex Ferguson’s 26-year reign. I spotted it the first time in the home draw to Chelsea in the second round of the Premier League. Although they displayed good balance and composure in that game, there was no edge nor desire to really test Mourinho’s defense. The new manager can be excused for not risking conceding a silly goal, but as reigning champions, United are expected to threaten any back four, especially at home.
That game faded out in a boring scoreless draw. I am convinced that the Red Devils of old would have had a go. Even opportunities to counter attack were measured and considered to the degree that they lost the advantage of running at an unorganized defense. The same thing happened against Sociedad. The ball was moved around the pitch at a snugly, complacent pace, and I got the feeling they were more concerned with not loosing than winning.
Even in-form Wayne Rooney looked unwilling to properly run at the Spanish back four. Had the emphasis before the game been on winnning convincingly and secure progression from the group stages, we would have seen Rooney move the ball quicker through the middle, demand that his teammates made quick transitions, and force them to hassle Sociedad when dispossessed. Instead he looked happy to take the draw.
The midfield constellation of Ryan Giggs and Marouane Fellaini suffered from the same attacking apathy. Even if they are defensive midfielders, at the level United should aspire to achieve, they should initiate attacks and put the ball in the danger areas. Furthermore, Fellaini had one of his better performances so far, looking comfortable on the ball, and making few mistakes. But the few he made got him sent off, and this will not make his attempt to settle down in Manchester any easier. You can call the refs decision harsh, but the second yellow, received for his 639th clumsy challenge of the night, was in my opinion fair enough.
What kept Moyes’s men from claiming all three points in the end was wasteful finishing. You would put your kidneys on Chicharito to score a tap in, but this time the Mexican skied his shot. Van Persie should have converted from the spot, though the post seemed to embody karma itself when it kept Claudio Bravo’s sheet clean. Ashley Young’s pathetic dive further disgraced the reputation of a player that have yet to contribute to single positive event this season. No doubt, Moyes’s patience with the winger must be running on fumes, and I can’t see him appearing in the starting XI any time soon.
However, in the long run, I expect David Moyes to succeed at United, and I will not start posting #MoyeOut tweets on my Twitter account. Though I’m not sure his cautious approach is doing him any favors at the moment. This weekend’s clash with Arsenal gives the Red Devils an opportunity against the in-form team in England to prove that they intend to retain the title in May.

Question is – will Moyes try to score more or concede less than his opponent?
Daniel Sturridge says that he is happy that he left Chelsea to join Liverpool last year, with a lack of belief in his abilities while at Stamford Bridge a source of frustration.
The England international was arguably the signing of the January transfer window in 2012, as he immediately settled into life at Anfield.
Sturridge was used sparingly in West London during his time there, with the club often electing to field him in a wide position despite him being more adept from a central area.
Since joining Liverpool he has operated in his desired role frequently, and has even thrived alongside the headline-grabbing Luis Suarez in a partnership dubbed ‘SAS’.
Sturridge told the Anfield Wrap that he always had faith in his abilities while at Chelsea, but found it frustrating that he was played out of position:
“When I was at Chelsea I wasn’t myself,” he says. “I wasn’t me as a person in terms of how open I am.
“I couldn’t be myself in terms of everything. When I came here I made the point to myself, ‘You know what, Daniel, just be yourself’ and if people take it well, then good.
“I always thought I’d make it but I was never sure if I’d play as a striker because people didn’t believe in me,
“I was often asked to play in a different position and to do a job for the team but having been a striker and then being asked to just flick a switch and play on the wing was always going to be difficult because mentally you’re going to play the way you always have and I play on instinct.
“I think that now I’m just playing the way that I did as a kid but I’d never had the chance to do that. When I was playing as a winger at Chelsea I was over-thinking it because I wasn’t used to doing it. It’s about that split second when you have to decide whether you do this or do that whereas now I’m just playing on instinct. I’m just doing the natural thing, playing my natural game and doing things off the cuff.

Despite only joining Liverpool last year and having spent a large chunk of this season out injured, Sturridge has already netted over 20 goals in all competitions.

Liverpool icon Robbie Fowler believes that’s Steven Gerrard can mirror Manchester United hero Ryan Giggs by playing at the very highest level into his 40s.
The once rampaging attacking midfielder has now been moved into a deeper position under the guidance of Brendan Rodgers, and has been thriving in what has been dubbed by many as the ‘quarterback role’.
There were doubts surrounding the 33-year-old’s ability to tame his forward thinking instincts, but he appears to have done so with his range of passing making him a deadly weapon for the title chasing Reds from just in front of his own backline.
United ace Giggs is a prime example of a player having altered his style to play to an older age, with the Welshman now a central midfielder after making his name as a flying winger.
The Red Devils man is still a first-team player at Old Trafford despite being 40, and Fowler thinks that Gerrard can emulate his adaptation and longevity:
“I think so. I am more than pleased for Steven because a lot of people were saying at the start of season maybe he is not as good as he was, or he is finished.” He said when questioned by talkSPORT about Gerrard’s ability to play to the same age as Giggs.
“For me, he has been immense this year. I know Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and even Raheem Sterling are getting a lot of the plaudits but I don’t think you can take away what Steven has done for the club this year.

“He has always been a fantastic player and he has certainly got a good few years left in him. What a story it will be if he goes on the pick up this Premier League trophy. I think a lot of people will genuinely love to see that.”
