“He’s a phenomenon and I bet he’ll succeed with total certainty” – Toni Polster on Mbappé
Former Sevilla striker Toni Polster has expressed his confidence that Kylian Mbappé will become a major success at Real Madrid, despite his slow start at the club.
Following the French forward’s performance against Sevilla on Sunday, Polster, who is highly regarded for his insight into football, stated that he believes Mbappé will eventually thrive at the Santiago Bernabeu once he overcomes his emotional challenges.
Mbappé made a high-profile move to Real Madrid in the summer after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain came to an end, leaving behind a legacy as one of the world’s most highly regarded players.
His move to Los Blancos was anticipated with much excitement, as many expected him to continue his meteoric rise to superstardom in Spain.
Despite the early setbacks, Polster, who enjoyed a successful career in European football, remains optimistic about Mbappé’s future at Real Madrid.
When asked about his thoughts on the current Real Madrid squad, Polster was quick to name Mbappé as his top pick. “I’ll stick with Mbappé,” he said.
“I think he’s spectacular. Indeed, he hasn’t started at his best in Madrid, but when he solves his emotional issues and fully adapts to the environment, he’ll be a success because he has everything you could want in an attacking player.”
Polster pointed out that Mbappé’s talent is undeniable, describing him as a “phenomenon” and confidently predicting that he will find success in Spain.
“He’s got all the tools to be a top player,” Polster added.
“It’s just a matter of time before he finds his rhythm and delivers at the level everyone expects of him.”
Clubs line up for Nigerian Footballer, Ola Aina. It has reported that Liverpool and Manchester City have set their interest on the player.
The player is currently in the last days of his contract with Nottingham Forest. Aina is yet to sign an extension contract with the club and still has the opportunity to sign up with a new club.
The Nigerian footballer has set up a nice record as he established himself as one of the best full-backs in the Premier League.
Liverpool have set their sights on the player and are considering him as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold. While Manchester City plans to replace Kyle Walker, who is expected to move soon.
Paul Scholes has urged Manchester United to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad this summer.
The United legend believes manager Ruben Amorim is interested in the 26-year-old midfielder and thinks the club should offload four players to raise funds for the transfer.
Scholes hinted that Amorim’s recent comments suggest he admires Zubimendi. Ahead of United’s Europa League win over Real Sociedad, Amorim praised Zubimendi’s ability, saying, “He’s a top player who can change a team, especially in defensive midfield where he reads and blocks transitions well.”
Reacting to this, Scholes said, “It’s clear the manager likes Zubimendi. If we sell a few players, we could probably afford him.”
Zubimendi, who reportedly has a €60 million release clause, has also attracted interest from Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool.
Victor Osimhen has sent a clear message to his Super Eagles teammates about the high expectations of the new head coach, Eric Chelle. Chelle took over earlier this year, replacing Augustine Eguavoen, and his first real test will be the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe this month.
The Franco-Malian coach has already named his 23-man squad for the games, and Osimhen has shared some insight into what to expect under Chelle’s leadership. Speaking on the Obi One Podcast, Osimhen revealed that he has already spoken with Chelle ahead of the qualifiers.
“I know him from the last AFCON with Mali. He’s a coach who loves attacking football and demands a lot from his players,” Osimhen said. “He told me he needs me and the senior players to step up and help him achieve great things for Nigeria.”
Osimhen added that Chelle made his expectations clear. “If you don’t fight for every ball or give your all, you won’t play. He was very direct about that. He said he can be like a big brother or an uncle off the pitch, but once we step on the field, it’s all business. If the younger players see us giving everything, they’ll follow.”
