everton Sporting Clube de Portugal are again showing interest in right-back Georgios Vagiannidis.

A report said that Everton are one of the options on the table for the 24-year-old, who could be signed for at least €10m.

Everton’s interest revived

The newspaper reports that the Greek right-back could leave Sporting this summer because he is ‘lacking playing time’ at the club.

Although he has publicly expressed his intention to stay and attempt to establish himself, his continued presence in the team has not yet been confirmed.

Georgios Vagiannidis has made 32 appearances for Sporting this season, but his performances have failed to convince. As a result, they are willing to let Sporting go if they can recoup the money they spent last summer.

The defender joined from Panathinaikos in a €13m deal but is currently valued at €10m. Two parties in particular have inquired about the terms of the deal; Everton and Villarreal.

No official offer has been made yet, but both clubs have made inquiries. And, interestingly, both were interested in him even before he moved to Sporting last summer.

Everton need a right-back

Sport Witness covered those reports at the timeSporting won the race after Everton took the lead. Now he and Villarreal are back on the scene.

For his part, Georgios Vagiannidis has already rejected a return to Greece as he wants to establish himself with Sporting. But he would also be interested in trying his luck in a ‘more competitive league’. The Premier League would certainly fit into that category.

Everton need at least one right-back this summer, the experiment of playing Jake O’Brien in this position is certainly at an end. Seamus Coleman has also moved on and Nathan Patterson could also go.

Reports in England have already linked them with a £10m move for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. It now appears that Sporting may also have a €10 million option on the table.

liverpoolThe 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday evening didn’t just affect the scoreboard. In France, the post-match verdict was predictably brutal.

Several Liverpool players were given very low ratings by L’EquipeEven got a star slammed with 2/10.

Here’s how the French press analyzed a night not to forget for Arne Slott’s side.

Low ratings for many Liverpool stars

In first place is goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who is given a score of 5/10. Even though much of what he did was not unconventional or beautiful, it has been described as ‘effective’.

The newspaper argues that this was certainly an improvement on his sometimes erratic, and sometimes dangerous, delivery with his legs.

Jeremy Frimpong has a worse ranking. He got a score of 3/10 after a ‘complete off day’ in which he made ‘many technical errors’. Defensively, he was not much better, lapses in coverage were frequent but not fatal.

Milos Kerkez also gets a 3/10 score from the newspaper. They describe him as the ‘weak link’ in Liverpool’s defense who was clearly targeted by the Parisians.

Virgil van Dijk is next with a 5/10 rating. When it comes to the defender, L’Equipe say he is ‘far away’ from the world-class defender he once was.

However, they insist their performance was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Four for Szoboszlai

Dominic Szoboszlai is next with 4/10. L’Equipe say he ‘failed to live up to his potential’ as Liverpool’s best player this season.

Although he covered a lot of ground, saw a lot of the ball and performed well in some moments, his offensive impact was ‘non-existent’. They speculate that this is why Arne Slott later moved him to right-back.

Ryan Gravenburch gets a 5/10. He showed ‘a lot of carelessness’ in the first half and repeatedly let the ball go. He ‘transformed’ after the break and instigated several Liverpool attacks, but that revival came too late.

Florian Wirtz and Alexis McAllister are each given 4/10. Despite making a defensive contribution the German was described as ‘grossly inadequate’. Meanwhile, Mac Allister ‘made little impact’ on the game and was ‘found unwanted’ in the build-up to Ousmane Dembele’s opener.

Salah is the best, Isaac is the worst

Meanwhile, Mo Salah gets a 6/10 rating. He didn’t get everything right, but he received ‘undeniable credit’ for his persistent efforts to bring about change.

One such was a wicked cross with his first touch, while there was another through ball for Kerkes which the full-back could not take advantage of.

For Alexander Isaacs it is more painful to read. L’Equipe say he ‘completely disappeared’ from the game after the early start, missing good chances and managing only five touches. It gets 2/10. His replacement, Kodi Gakpo gets a 5/10 despite being ‘ultimately ineffective’.

More pain for Arne Slott

Arne Slott is no exception. He is given a score of 3/10, mainly for his ‘losing gamble’ of starting Isaac in the game.

The failure to use Mo Salah from the start also ‘raises questions’ as his impact on the game was almost immediate as a substitute.

They used Joe Gomez, who came on at half-time and was removed in the 67^th The minutes, too, were ‘not particularly convincing’.

As far as L’Equipe is concerned, the Dutchman did not give the impression that he has put his team in the best possible position to succeed.
