Starting with the hosts, while Newcastle might have spent the whole of last season scrapping it out at the foot of the A-League standings, the Jets have firmly cemented their spot as Australia's ultimate surprise package this time around.

Liverpool could sell Cody Gakpo in the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider. If the defending Premier League champions find a new left-sided attacker to sign, then they could sell the Netherlands international forward. Journalist Pete O'Rourke said on the Transfer Insider podcast: "If Liverpool were to bring in another left-sided attacker in the summer, then maybe that potentially could open the door for a move away for Cody Gakpo."

Former winger is based in London with his young family these days, but his ties to the game remain tightly bound

"When you do something special, or almost special, it can be a natural reaction for people to relax; that was hard, wow, and that's just something we won't accept," Varas said. "We need to not only take the same steps we took last year in our preparation, but we need to take those steps even better."

Former Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané always ended up with decent statistics during his tenure at the club, but he never quite reached the level of heights predicted for him when he made the long-anticipated move to Bavaria from Manchester City in 2020. Funks and slumps marred Sané's time with Bayern Munich as he failed to achieve consistency. Last summer, the winger moves on to Galatasaray, ending his time with Bayern Munich as a disappointment to many fans.

Borussia Dortmund will reportedly compete with Bayern Munich in the race to sign 24-year-old German international Nick Woltemade from Newcastle United this summer. According to a report by TEAMtalk, Nick Woltemade is the subject of interest of Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga champions are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a striker in the summer transfer window. So, the 24-year-old Newcastle United centre-forward has emerged as a target for the Bavarian outfit.

I'm not inside his head. I only see how he has played the last two matches, that he is returning to the level he always was, and we need him in this way. Then, in his head, I cannot be, but in what reflects in his work, I am very happy with what he gives us.

It's a tough one, he said when asked about his favourite team in the Premier League. I don't have a favourite team, but if there was one club I would love to play for it's Arsenal. He added: The way they play now, they have a great coach, they have a great system, and I think I would fit into it.

Initial talks are said to have taken place through intermediaries, with Forest also recently scouting Setford, according to Football Transfers. Setford has only played two games for the Arsenal first-team, but the 19-year-old has long looked like a big prospect ever since catching the eye at former club Ajax. The Netherlands-born England Under-21 international could do well to think about his future this summer, as he's currently third choice in goal for the Gunners behind David Raya and Kepa Arrizabalaga.

We have 12 games left. So 36 points available. I want to see the positive side,
