Arsenal’s situation on attracting Martins: Satriano and Odegaard

0

Martin Satriano from Inter Milan U19, Primavera is attracting interest from English clubs, Arsenal and Chelsea. The story was confirmed by Fabrizio Romano on the Here We Go podcast, where he also talked about how ‘hungry’ players are better than those who simply rely on talent. 

Satriano is one of the best talents Inter have in their academy and is one of the best youngsters in Italy. Scouts from across Europe are there and have been looking at him for a while now. The player has featured for the youth team 9 times and has scored 5 times in the Primavera. 

Young strikers are now in demand, especially after the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland have taken the world by storm. Nothing concrete has been agreed on with Arsenal, in the case of the young striker. Here is what the man himself had to say regarding the interest from the London clubs: 

“The Premier League is the number one league in the world in terms of competition, that I think all the players want to play – I think all the teams are very good.

“It is a very competitive league where any team can beat anyone. But, for now, I am totally focused on Inter and to do the best with them.”

Moving on to the situation of his namesake already at the club, Martin Odegaard is really happy with the player and Arsenal and Madrid will have a meeting to negotiate the future. The player is out on a simple loan so nothing has been defined yet. 

Nikola Milenkovic wants Premier League move

0

Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic had rumours linking him with Manchester United about three years ago. He is not going to extend the contract and is leaving the club this summer. The player only has one year left on his current deal and sees his future elsewhere, this raises the perfect opportunity for Fiorentina to cash in by selling the player. 

In September, West Ham United offered €25 million but they wanted €40 million. They can’t ask for €40 this summer, mainly because they risk losing Milenkovic on a free transfer next summer if he does end up staying. The player wants to change teams, but West Ham United are not looking at this target anymore. 

Manchester United are still scouting the player, although nothing concrete has been achieved between any two parties yet. He has been scouted by a lot of English clubs and has huge chances of moving to Premier League, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio on the Here We Go podcast. 

Milenkovic is one of the first names on the team sheet for the Serie A clubs, and is rated as one of the best young centre-backs in Europe. At 23, he still has a lot to experience at the highest level with Champions League football still to come for the Serbian. 

Dell Alienware m15 Ryzen Edition confirmed with up Ryzen 9 5900HX & GeForce RTX 3070

0

Surely, 2021 will be the year for AMD as their new Ryzen 5000 series processors are great for gaming on both desktops and laptops. Now, more OEMs and laptop makers are thinking of AMD for their top-of-the-line products, which until now were restricted to Intel only.

Dell did make the Dell G5 15 SE with both AMD Ryzen 4000H gaming processors and Radeon RX 5000M GPUs but left AMD on its higher-end Alienware series of laptops. Well, this time, Dell is ready to bring new Alienware laptops with Ryzen 5000H gaming processors.

In our AMD Ryzen 5000 series desktop processors review, we have seen the Ryzen 5 5600X and 5800X perform exceptionally well in gaming, so naturally, the mobile variants will perform great as well. In contrast to Intel’s quad-core Tiger Lake-H CPU and older 10th gen SKUs, opting for AMD is no doubt the better choice.

So, reliable tipster, _rogame has revealed that the upcoming Dell Alienware m15 Ryzen Edition will sport new AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series GPUs.

As per the tipster, the upcoming Dell Alienware m15 Ryzen Edition will sport up to Ryzen 7 5800H or Ryzen 9 5900HX, though the latter seems more likely. It will be coupled with RTX 3070 or a higher variant along with 32GB of DDR4 3200MHz RAM and up to 2TB SSD.

It will be interesting to see when the new premium Dell gaming laptop comes to market.

BioWare Officially Cancels Anthem Next, Devs Will Move to Dragon Age 4

0

According to some recent reports, soon EA would be deciding the fate of BioWare’s beleaguered live service action-RPG Anthem, and today the decision came out – the “Anthem Next” project is now officially canceled. BioWare has announced their objectives to “reinvent” Anthem back in early 2020 and since then, we have received some scattered progress updates, but it doesn’t seem that much development was being made. Via the cancellation announcement, BioWare has partially blamed the COVID-19 for preventing their approaches to save Anthem and informs that they will now focus on Dragon Age and Mass Effect.

You can read the statement of Christian Dailey, the BioWare executive producer, below:

“In the spirit of transparency and closure we wanted to share that we’ve made the difficult decision to stop our new development work on Anthem (aka Anthem NEXT). We will, however, continue to keep the Anthem live service running as it exists today. Since Anthem’s launch, the team has been working hard to continually improve the game, releasing multiple updates that brought with them a variety of improvements and introduced new content to play. Towards the end of 2019 we expanded on that effort and started working on a more fundamental restructure of the game.”

“2020 was a year unlike any other however and while we continue to make progress against all our game projects at BioWare, working from home during the pandemic has had an impact on our productivity and not everything we had planned as a studio before COVID-19 can be accomplished without putting undue stress on our teams.”

“I know this will be disappointing to the community of Anthem players who have been excited to see the improvements we’ve been working on. It’s also disappointing for the team who were doing brilliant work. And for me personally, Anthem is what brought me to BioWare, and the last two years have been some of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my career.”

“Game development is hard. Decisions like these are not easy. Moving forward, we need to laser focus our efforts as a studio and strengthen the next Dragon Age, and Mass Effect titles while continuing to provide quality updates to Star Wars: The Old Republic. To the Anthem community, thank you for your passion and creativity. Your feedback and suggestions most certainly help shape the team’s direction, and on a personal note, your kindness and encouragement were much needed last year.”

Jason Schreier from Bloomberg, who revealed the original story about Anthem’s possible cancellation, assumes that the developers who are working on the game will shift on to Dragon Age 4.

BioWare informs the game will continue to be playable even after the development cease. Anthem is now available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Chelsea transfer news: Haaland, Giroud and Rice updates

0

Chelsea are looking at a new striker and centre-back for the upcoming transfer window and are planning for something big this summer. They are really happy with Tuchel now, especially since he has been unbeaten since taking the reins at Stamford Bridge. 

There have been links with Erling Haaland, and that Tammy Abraham is hesitant to extend his contract at the club owing to the team’s pursuit of Haaland. 

Elsewhere on the striker front, Olivier Giroud is one of the best professionals and has been a starter in recent games, with his bicycle kick goal against Atletico Madrid proving to be an instant headline-maker. Many clubs were talking with him, but he has always been respectful with Chelsea. 

Speaking on the transfer front for the French international, Fabrizio Romano said on the Here We Go podcast that Juventus want Giroud. They were planning on offering €5 million for the player, and it was a good proposal but Giroud and Chelsea said no. The player wanted to stay and complete the season. Juventus boss Andrea Pirlo is an avid admirer of the striker and wants him at the club in the summer. 

Declan Rice will not be a target anymore now that Frank Lampard is gone. West Ham United asked for €80 million for the England international, and Chelsea were hence forced to back out of a deal for their former player. Next summer will be interesting because Thomas Tuchel will be wanting to shake up the squad.
