Canadian left-back, Alphonso Davies said the songs of Nigerian music icon, Davido are among the songs he often uses to prepare for football matches.

Alphonso Davies is arguably one of the most wanted wingbacks in the world due to his pace, tackling, dribbling, and ability to score goals from tight angles.

The 23-year-old defender who is a citizen of both Liberia and Canada, left the United States club, Vancouver, for Bayern Munich on January 1, 2019, for a transfer fee worth €14 million.

Since then, Davies has played 194 games, scored 10 goals and provided 31 assists in all competitions for Bayern Munich. He has helped Bayern to win one UEFA Champions League, one FIFA Club World Cup, Five Bundesliga titles, one UEFA Super Cup, and many other titles.

In a video the official Instagram page of the German Bundesliga posted earlier in the week, Davies was seen making a list of songs that keep him motivated before football matches.

The Canada international said, “If I could only have five songs that I could listen to before games? That’s very tough! Okay, number one is ‘Nonstop’ by Drake, number two is ‘Fein’ by Travis Scott, number three is ‘Tombstone’ by Rod Wave, number four is ‘Legend Can Never Die’ by Davido, and number five is ‘No Competition’ by also Davido.”

Alphonso Davies played 41 games for Bayern Munich this season in which he scored 2 goals and provided 6 assists in all competitions. His current contract with Bayern will expire on June 30, 2025.

Arsenal goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale seems to be set to leave the north London side after a difficult 2023-2024 season.

Ramsdale started his professional football career at Sheffield United before he moved to Bournemouth on January 31, 2017. He had loan spells at Chesterfield FC, and AFC Wimbledon before he returned to his childhood club, Sheffield United on August 19, 2021.

In his second spell at Sheffield United, the 26-year-old English goalkeeper was so good that Arsenal decided to pay €28 million for his services on August 20, 2021.

Ramsdale became an instant success at Arsenal as he was made the club’s first-choice goalkeeper in his debut season. He went on to make 78 appearances in his first two seasons.

The 2022-2023 season was arguably the best of his football career as he led Arsenal to battle for the Premier League title to the very end. Unfortunately, they lost it to Manchester City.

However, his fortunes turned negative ahead of the 2023-2024 season as coach Mikel Arteta decided to sign Spanish goalkeeper, David Raya on loan from Brentford.

Raya’s loan deal came with an option for a permanent deal which the goalkeeper and the Gunners are open to signing due to his prolific form at the club.

Note that Raya is the winner of the Premier League Golden Gloves this season after keeping 13 clean sheets for the Gunners.

Hence, Ramsdale has reportedly concluded that he might never regain his spot as Arsenal’s goalkeeperc under the watch of coach Mikel Arteta who seems to prefer Raya over any other goalkeeper.

Note that Ramsdale has managed to make just six Premier League appearances for Arsenal this season and that trend might continue if he remains at the club next season.

A report by Sky Sports claimed that Arsenal are willing to allow Aaron Ramsdale to leave if he chooses to and the English star is open to leaving the Emirates Stadium this summer.

Currently, Newcastle United are said to be the frontrunners for the signature of the 25-year-old goalie and they might close the deal in the first week of the summer transfer window.

Sky Sports’ James Green said Aaron Ramsdale has agreed to a deal with Newcastle United ahead of the summer transfer window even though he still has two years left in his contract with Arsenal.

Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United claimed a crucial 3-2 win over Newcastle, keeping their European qualification hopes alive.

Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo were the standout performers of the match, scoring a goal each.

Mainoo opened the scoring in the 31st minute, finishing from Diallo’s assist.

Despite Anthony Gordon’s equalizer for Newcastle early in the second half, Diallo restored United’s lead with a stunning volley.

Rasmus Hojlund, who came on as a substitute, secured the win with a powerful strike in the 84th minute from outside the box.

Although Newcastle’s Lewis Hall scored in stoppage time, it was too late to alter the outcome of the match.
