beIN Sports host Richard Keys has accidentally posted images online from his chat history that were previously shared with fellow presenter Andy Gray.

Why was Richard Keys sacked from Sky Sports?

Way back in 2011, the former Sky Sports commentators were forced to leave the broadcasting company after being caught up in a scandal.

Indeed, several tapes were leaked which displayed how the duo had made derogatory and sexist comments about female referee Sian Massey and other female figures from within the industry.

When the official had made a tight offside decision – which was later found to be completely correct upon video replay, by the way – thinking their microphones had been switched off, Keys had said: “Somebody better get down there and explain offside to her, Massey.”

Gray then added: “Yeah, I know. Can you believe that? Female linesman. Forget what I said – they probably don’t know the offside rule,” Gray added.

“Course they don’t,” said Keys.

Gray replied: “Why is there a female linesman? Somebody’s f*cked up big.”

This sort of despicable behaviour rightly saw them disgraced in England but they have been able to continue with their broadcasting careers over in Qatar with beIN Sports.

What memes did Richard Keys share with Andy Gray?

You would have thought perhaps in the years since this unsavoury incident, the duo would have learned their lessons but it appears that isn’t the case.

Indeed, upon the news that Steven Gerrard had become the new manager of Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq, Keys shared a screenshot online which displayed the news. However, inadvertently, it also included some thumbnails of pictures he and Gray have previously sent to each other – as noted by GoalScorer Challenge on Twitter.

Fans were quickly able to do some detective work and figure out exactly what those images were, and in a thread underneath it was explained.

First, there was a fairly standard post about cricket from Mirror Sport but things quickly took a turn for the worse.

Next, there was a crude meme that showed the two were still just as sexist as ever.

And then there was another sexist image that was also noted as transphobic in the Twitter thread, as GoalScorer Challenge noted: “Keys and Gray can add a bit of transphobia to their lengthy catalogue.”

All in all, it really doesn’t make for pleasant viewing at all but sadly, judging from their past misdemeanours, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise either.

It’s certainly safe to say Sky Sports has changed a lot since those two were on commentary duty and even more change is set to occur this summer.

Firstly, after 33 years with the broadcasting company (starting in 1990), Martin Tyler will step down from his role as lead commentator. On top of that, this week, it was also revealed that Geoff Shreeves is also leaving Sky Sports after more than 30 years with them.

At least we know there’s no chance that Keys and Gray will be invited back any time soon.

Glasgow Rangers look set to be in for their busiest summer transfer window in quite some time as Michael Beale aims to overhaul a playing squad which has become stagnant across the previous 12 months.

Out go the likes of Allan McGregor, Scott Arfield, Ryan Kent, Alfredo Morelos and Filip Helander as the wage budget has been trimmed, while Beale has quickly signed four players – and there will be more as the weeks go on.

Another squad player who could leave this summer is Scott Wright, as Preston North End had two bids rejected recently and it surely won't be long before he departs Ibrox after a woeful season.

The £5.6k-per-week dud played 34 times during 2022/23 and registered a paltry two assists – a dreadful return from the winger, and it’s clear he isn’t of the required quality needed going forward.

Could Beale turn to a January transfer target that is back on his radar in order to replace Wright if he does in fact move on from Rangers this summer? As Morgan Whittaker remains firmly in the 42-year-old's plans, according to The Daily Record, perhaps the Gers boss has a plan in place.

Could Rangers sign Morgan Whittaker this summer?

In all honesty, a move should have occurred back in January, as the Gers had three bids rejected by Swansea City for the pacey winger, with their final offer of £2m not enough to prise him away from Wales.

During the first half of last season, he spent time on loan at Plymouth Argyle in the English third tier and was arguably their standout performer, registering nine goals and seven assists across just 25 league games, demonstrating his abilities from the right wing.

His form on the south coast was so devastating that he ranked second out of the whole squad for overall rating (7.1/10), despite playing just half a season, while also ranking third for goals and assists, as well as key passes per game and big chances created, underlining his importance to Plymouth.

His output dropped once he returned to Swansea, however, scoring just once in 15 Championship games, although he did only start two matches.

Beale is clearly a big fan of the 22-year-old winger, having previously lauded him as “excellent” – and the chase for him still appears to be very much alive.

The next few weeks could prove crucial with regard to a potential move, as the manager is aiming to get the vast majority of his business done early in order to focus on the Champions League qualifiers at the start of August.

Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in signing Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun this summer in an attempt to solve their striker conundrum.

Crystal Palace transfer news – could they sign Folarin Balogun?

According to the Express, Balogun is prepared to leave Arsenal this summer to pursue regular first-team football after a successful loan spell in France last season.

It is believed the Gunners are due to hold talks with Balogun’s agent, Eddie Bonsu, after the current international break in which the 21-year-old striker has starred for the United States.

The striker has insisted he will not be sent out on loan again by Arsenal and demands regular first-team football at the Emirates or to be sold to somewhere he will get that playing time.

"I'm not sure what's going to happen. But I'm just committed to now; I try to stay present. I obviously want to enjoy the moment with my team and my family” Balogun told reporters after the USMNT defeated Canada in the CONCACAF Nations League final.

"What I can say is that I definitely won't go on loan again."

Is Balogun the man to fix Crystal Palace’s woes up front?

There’s no doubt the quality Balogun can bring to a new team, as shown by his stellar season last year in France.

The youngster signed for Stade Reims on a season long loan deal back in the summer window of 2023 and grew into one of the best strikers in the league.

In 37 appearances, Balogun hit the net 21 times and registered 3 assists, which made up 53% of his sides’ goal contribution.

His eye for goal saw him finish as the fifth top goalscorer in Ligue 1 behind the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Canadian star Jonathan David.

Balogun didn’t want to wait for an England call up either, recently committing to the USMNT and starring in their CONCACAF Nations League triumph. ‘Flo’ even notched his first goal for the U.S in the 3-0 stuffing of Canada in the final.

Former American international striker and current CBS football pundit Charlie Davis told the Los Angeles Times that Balogun can be a ‘game changer’ for the USMNT.

“If you score 20-plus goals in a top European league, you’re bringing something different to the group.

“This could be a massive game changer because of his runs, his ability, his tactical knowledge to open up space. But it’s all potential. You’ve got to bring it to the pitch.”

Palace haven’t had an out-and-out goalscorer up front since the Glenn Murray days when the former Brighton striker helped catapult the club to promotion in 2013.

Palace’s top goalscorer last season was midfielder Eberechi Eze with 10 goals. He was the only player to reach double figures.

Former Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard was signed to be the club’s main number nine back in 2021, but he managed just seven goals this season and started just over half of the clubs Premier League matches.

Palace’s other forward options, Jordan Ayew and Jean-Phillippe Mateta, managed just four and two goals this season respectively.

Balogun could be the missing piece in a Palace team that will be pushing for a top half finish next season, but they will face competition from European heavyweights like RB Leipzig to secure his signature, per the Express.

Chelsea could be about to launch a bid to try and bring Aurelien Tchouameni to the Premier League, having already seen one effort snubbed, according to Spanish sources, via Chelsea News.

Is Aurelien Tchouameni joining Chelsea?

The 23-year-old has only been with Real Madrid for one season but has already become a regular member of their first-team squad despite his age. In a team packed with talent, the young Frenchman has been able to feature 33 times for the club in La Liga and has also produced four assists along the way. It hasn't been enough to help the Spanish outfit to the league title – they finished as runners-up – but he has already gone a long way towards establishing himself as a key player.

That is also backed up by his stats when compared to other players who play in midfield amongst the Men's 'Top Five' big leagues in Europe. His pass completion rate of an astonishing 92.9% for example puts him within the top 1% of players for that figure, showing just how excellent he is at getting the ball around the field with pinpoint accuracy and precision.

In addition, he also ranks in the 99th percentile for his interception rate per 90 of 1.98. It shows that he is also fantastic at reading the play and breaking up opposition moves.

With such superb performances and stats to back it up, it is no surprise that Chelsea are now lining up bids to bring him to England. According to a report via Chelsea News, the Blues are eager to bring him in, with Mauricio Pochettino working hard to bring in the players that he wants this summer.

One of those appears to be Tchouameni, with the Blues having already seen one bid turned down for his services. It came to a total of 60 million Euros (£51.3m), but with that snubbed, it appears as though they are now potentially preparing to make a fresh bid and up their amount by 20 million Euros, so around £68.4m.

When does Tchouameni's contract expire?

The midfielder has a deal with Madrid until 2028 and they won't want to let him go before that comes to an end. It also means that any fee would probably have to equate to an amount that could buy him out of those remaining five years of his deal – and Chelsea will be hoping that fresh bid can tempt them into a sale.

If the Blues did land him, they would be getting themselves a player who has already showcased his talents to many. Football talent scout Jacek Kulig for example called the player "out of this world" prior to his Madrid move and he has only continued to grow and get better. The Blues then would have a real boost in their midfield if they did seal a deal for Tchouameni this window.

Arsenal have been linked with a host of players ahead of the transfer window, as Mikel Arteta aims to bolster his squad this summer.

The Spaniard fired the Gunners back into the Champions League as well as posing as serious title contenders for the majority of the season, and will look to take his side one step further next campaign.

The latest talent linked with a move to the Emirates is one of the most exciting wingers in Europe, and a gem that could add more than just depth to north London.

What’s the latest on Moussa Diaby to Arsenal?

As reported by the Mail Online last month, Arsenal are one of the clubs interested in Bayer Leverkusen forward Moussa Diaby.

A separate report from Evening Standard said that the Bundesliga club are expected to price their star at £65m, a fee that has derailed fellow Premier League interest from Newcastle United, via The Athletic.

It has since been suggested that the Gunners remain interested in the winger, with Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor telling GIVEMESPORT that Diaby could ‘reach a new level’ at the club.

"He ticks that under-25 box and is a player that can reach a new level at Arsenal," he said.

What could Moussa Diaby offer to Arsenal?

Having been lauded as “electrifying” by journalist Aaron Stokes, the 23-year-old dynamo could elevate Arsenal’s attack with his deadly ability in the final third.

Being primarily deployed as a right-winger for Leverkusen, the Frenchman contributed to 17 goals in the Bundesliga this season, scoring nine and assisting eight in 33 appearances, via FBref.

While the Gunners have their own monstrous wide man in Bukayo Saka, the north London outfit could show their commitment to competing with the best of the best by signing Diaby as a player that could compete with the 21-year-old.

Saka’s place in Arsenal’s line-up is unchallengeable, predominantly because there isn’t an individual that could apply pressure on the Englishman to perform consistently well.

As per FBref, the Frenchman averaged 4.04 progressive carries per 90, placing in the top 20% of wingers in Europe in that area showing his ability to progress with the ball, Saka was marginally ahead of the 23-year-old with 5.04.

The Paris-born whiz could challenge Saka in a position that, at present, is comfortably his, in an area of depth that Arsenal must introduce to challenge against the best.

With a statement contract freshly signed, it’s integral for the club to not allow the Englishman to grow comfortable in his surroundings, as was seen prior in the drop-off of Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang’s form after extending his stay.

The Gabon international’s place was safe in the squad, and when performance dipped there were no repercussions to his role other than the negative influence it had on the club’s results.

Signing Diaby could present Saka with a competitive partner in his position, as well as someone that could influence Arteta’s attack, bringing rotation into the equation, something that could be key with Champions League football on the horizon.

As per Sofascore, the Leverkusen gem averaged 1.1 shots on target per game in the Bundesliga, with the Arsenal star averaging 0.8 in an area that highlights the added threat the transfer target could offer the Gunners.

With Paris Saint-Germain also said to be monitoring the movements of Diaby, Arsenal must act fast this summer if they are to snatch the £50m-rated target's signature.

Manchester United have intensified contacts with FC Porto over goalkeeper Diogo Costa, and they are currently trying to lower the price, according to recent reports from Portugal.

What's the latest on Diogo Costa to Man United?

Just a few days ago, it was reported that Man United were finalising an offer in the region of €75m (£64m) for Costa, as the board gave their approval to make a move for the goalkeeper, with Erik ten Hag unhappy with David De Gea.

Football Transfers report the player's agent, Jorge Mendes, is trying to get his client a move to the Premier League, amid recent links to United, and Porto are in need of urgent funds before the financial year closes on June 30th.

That could potentially open the door for a move to Old Trafford, despite the fact De Gea is likely to agree fresh terms, although the Portuguese shot-stopper has recently told the media he hopes to continue with Porto for the foreseeable future.

There still appears to be a good chance the 23-year-old moves on this summer, with reports from Portugal (via Sport Witness) detailing the Red Devils have intensified their contacts with Porto, as they target a new number one.

According to A Bola, Man United are unwilling to meet the goalkeeper's £64m release clause, and they are currently in the process of negotiating a lower fee, but Porto chief Pinto da Costa is unwilling to haggle on the price.

United have been following the Porto youth product since the January transfer window, and Ten Hag is said to be fascinated by his performances.

Should Man United replace David De Gea?

De Gea clearly still has a great deal of quality, winning the Premier League golden glove in the 2022-23 campaign, the second time he has won the accolade, last claiming it in the 2017-18 season.

However, the Spaniard has had no shortage of criticism in recent times, with Paul Scholes claiming that he "makes the whole team nervous" with some of his decisions, despite also adding that he is a "brilliant goalkeeper."

Considering he is now 32-years-old, Man United may need to look at signing a long-term replacement sooner rather than later, and Costa could be a fantastic signing, having been hailed for his "complete profile" by journalist Zach Lowy.

Last season, the Porto shot-stopper recorded 16 clean sheets, the second-highest figure in the Portuguese top flight, while he is also in the 95th percentile for his clean sheet percentage over the past year, when compared to players at a similar level.

Arsenal and Newcastle United have both made contact with the family of Arda Guler ahead of a potential move to the Premier League.

What's the latest transfer news on Arda Guler?

According to a report from Turkish Football, Arsenal and Newcastle lead the race to secure 18-year-old left-footed gem Guler from Fenerbahce.

Guler's family, who represent him in football matters, have been contacted by both Premier League outfits regarding a summer move.

Negotiations are at "an early stage" but Arsenal and Newcastle are preparing official offers after the forward's impressive displays in the Turkish Super Lig this season. In all competitions, Guler provided six goals and six assists, demonstrating the double threat he carries.

PIF and Newcastle are reportedly aware of the high interest in the teenager and so want to make their move early to avoid a summer transfer saga.

Guler is said to be keen on moving to one of Europe's top divisions while Fenerbahce are understandably reluctant to let their talented player go.

That said, they would sell him at the right price. A report from Turkish Football in March revealed that Guler's contract contains a €5m (£4.2m) release clause which will be activated if he does not play 1500 minutes this season.

With just two games to go, Guler has so far completed 1392 minutes. Fenerbahce are risking losing their bargaining power if they don't give the young attacker more game time.

How good is Arda Guler?

Andrea Pirlo, one of the most highly-regarded midfielders of all time, told Hurriyet newspaper in May that Guler has the potential to reach the very top.

He said: “Arda Guler is a very talented player. He has the potential to play anywhere in the world.

"He has quality, he can read the game well, and he has great technique. If he keeps developing his game, there is no limit to his potential."

Praise from an icon like Pirlo speaks volumes about the potential Guler has. It makes sense that clubs from the Premier League would be so interested in snapping him up.

Newcastle will need to invest in their squad if they are to make the most of playing in the Champions League next season. The demands on players' bodies will increase and so Eddie Howe may need extra players to handle the extra games.

If Guler were to join the Magpies, it's difficult to predict how much he will play but the domestic cup competitions can be a brilliant way for young players to become adjusted to the speed and intensity of football at the top level in England.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing highly-rated Sporting CP centre-back Goncalo Inacio in the summer transfer window.

Who is Goncalo Inacio?

At just 21, the Portuguese has already become a key man for one of the biggest clubs in his homeland, producing a string of hugely impressive performances at the heart of their defence.

Inacio started 26 games in the Primeira Liga in 2022/23, as well as six and five in the Champions League and Europa League respectively, enjoying a 90% pass completion rate in the former. He looks like a player of massive potential, possessing a level of maturity beyond his years, and Sporting will do well to keep hold of him this summer.

The youngster has been linked with a move to various club before the start of next season, with a move to the Premier League potentially on the cards. United are one of the club who are reportedly in the mix to snap him up, with the likes of Liverpool and Newcastle United also thought to be keen.

Could United make a move for Inacio?

According to Monday's edition of Portuguese newspaper O Jogo [via Man Utd News], United are "closely following" Inacio's situation, ahead of a potential summer move for the £17,000-a-week star. Sporting are aiming to make their player's release clause as high as €60m (£51.7m), as they look to ward off interest in one of their most prized assets, with Paris Saint-Germain also thought to be in the conversation.

Inacio could be such an exciting signing by United if they manage to pip others to his signature, coming in as a long-term acquisition with a high ceiling. Granted, he is a left-footed and left-sided central defender, like Lisandro Martinez, but the Reds could do with that level of competition in key areas moving forward.

The Sporting ace would be an upgrade on Harry Maguire, who looks increasingly likely to leave Old Trafford this summer, with the two-cap Portugal international being hailed as a "complete" centre-back by football talent scout Jacek Kulig.

Not only would Inacio be a great signing in his own right, but the fact that United had beaten the likes of Liverpool to his signature would also be a major signal of intent, further suggesting that they remain a huge pull for any player. Three assists in the league this season, as well as an average of 3.5 clearances per game in the Champions League this season, outline his quality both in and out of possession.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp must ruthlessly axe “influential” club captain Jordan Henderson as he is the weakness in their midfield and a better replacement is needed in the summer.

On the chalkboard

Liverpool are fighting on all fronts at the moment and are hunting down an unprecedented quadruple. But they face stiff competition from Real Madrid in the Champions League and Manchester City in the Premier League, and they veered slightly off course in the title race when failing to beat Tottenham Hotspur yesterday.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-liverpool-news-transfer-rumours-gossip-salah-gnabry-isak-romano” title= “Read the latest Liverpool news!”]

Henderson was one the players who failed to shine in the game at Anfield and was substituted after 65 minutes being replaced by Diogo Jota. He failed to make a single tackle in the whole time he was on the pitch and barely contributed. Furthermore, he gave up possession of the ball every five minutes which will have been a key factor in the team dropping points.

Whilst his leadership and strong voice in the dressing room might go unmatched, there’s only so many times you can use that as a reason to be playing him.

Henderson has been a vital part of Liverpool’s success in recent years but there is a feeling that his qualities are slightly diminishing, with Roy Keane describing him as a “cheerleader” and questioning why he was in the England squad during Euro 2020.

The 31-year old moved to Merseyside from his boyhood club Sunderland in 2011 and is currently the longest-serving player at the club. He is, and always will be considered a legend in the eyes of the fans, and he has rightly earnt that status. However, he is no longer a player who is capable starting every week for one of the best teams in Europe.

Liverpool have to accept that and Klopp has to make it his priority to bring in a third world class midfielder to sit alongside Fabinho and Thiago next season.

If you compare Henderson to them both he doesn’t produce performances that are close to what they consistently produce. Both players have a higher pass completion percentage that the Englishman and have successfully completed more dribbles.

Henderson’s time at Anfield isn’t necessarily over, but the club need to rely on him less if they are to keep competing at the highest level. He still has a major role to play in the squad as a leader and captain, just not as a player who is a key starter.

Sheffield Wednesday are reportedly in ‘talks’ with teenage striker Bailey Cadamarteri about the possibility of signing his first-ever professional deal with the club, according to The Star journalist Joe Crann.

The Lowdown: Gradual progress

The 16-year-old has worked his way up through the ranks at Middlewood Road, having initially displayed his talents in the Owls’ U18s side. More recently, his development has meant that he has stepped up to the U23s and has occasionally been training alongside the first team.

It has previously been reported that the youngster’s impressive progress has caught the eye of Premier League clubs Manchester City and West Ham, but despite having interest from the top-flight, it’s thought that Cadamarteri is very much keen to remain in Yorkshire and fight for his place in the blue and white stripes.

The Latest: Cadamarteri ready to commit

In a social media post on Twitter, Crann revealed that ahead of the forward turning 17 next week, he is likely to put pen to paper on a professional deal with Wednesday.

He wrote: “I’m told that SWFC are in preliminary talks with the teenage attacker, and it’s thought that he’s keen to commit to the club. He can sign on Monday.”

Expanding in his column for The Star, the journalist claimed that talks have been ‘opened up’, with the club looking to complete the signing ‘as soon as possible’.

The Verdict: ‘Brilliant’

Cadamarteri played a full 90 minutes for the Owls’ U18s in the FA Youth Cup against Southampton earlier this season and managed to get his name on the scoresheet, despite only making two appearances throughout the entire competition.

The Leeds-born prospect has been hailed as a “brilliant” potential signing by Crann himself, and it’s clear to see that he has got bags of potential given the interest from the Premier League’s elite.

If the centre-forward does up committing his future to Darren Moore’s side, we could end up seeing him on display in the senior match-day squad sooner than we think, especially if the boss is unable to guide his side up to the second tier through the play-offs.
