CAF Confederation CupIt has almost felt inevitable that this summer's headlines would centre on Iliman Ndiaye. There have been claims for some time that clubs from around the globe were monitoring the winger but, with three years left on his current deal, has he really played his last game for Everton? For at least the past season, it has been known the Senegal international was someone of interest to not just fellow Premier League sides, but also clubs in Europe - but David Moyes remained adamant Ndiaye would not be sold.
If Everton were to sell star forward Iliman Ndiaye to Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, they would likely receive a significant financial windfall. The Senegal international may have chipped in with a modest six goals — two of which were penalties — and three assists in the Premier League last season. For Everton last season, he attempted 136 dribbles and completed 73, 77 and 46 more than any other player in the squad, respectively.
Liverpool are continuing their search for a long-term successor to Mohamed Salah and Bournemouth winger Rayan has emerged as a player of interest, according to Teamtalk. The Reds have made enquiries about the Brazilian youngster, who is understood to be a player discussed in detail with new head coach Andoni Iraola.

Throughout history, Egypt have been one of the most competitive national teams in Africa. However, their stars have names such as Ziko or Trezeguet, which demonstrate influences from soccer powerhouses in their development. Egypt have remained one of the most competitive national teams in Africa. Led by Mohamed Salah, they have managed to be protagonists, reaching the final stages of the African Cup of Nations. Although their main star is already 34 years old, they still maintain numerous talents in their squad. However, several of them have well-known names such as Ziko or Trezeguet, clearly reflecting their influence from soccer powerhouses in their development. In the 2026 World Cup roster of Hossam Hassan, Mahmoud Hassan, Trézéguet, Nabil Emad Dunga, and Mostafa Zaki Abdelraouf (Ziko) are an essential part of Egypt’s project. Their names are reminiscent of the legends David Trézéguet, Carlos Caetano Bledorn (Dunga), and Arthur Antunes Coimbra (Zico). However, none of the Egyptian stars officially carry these surnames in their names, so these are presented as a tribute. Badr Ragab, Mahmoud Hassan’s coach, revealed to AFP that the nickname ‘Trézéguet’ was his idea. “From his first days… I noticed (Hassan’s) resemblance to Trézéguet, both in appearance and playing style… He was strong in the air and scored goals in a similar way, so I gave him the name. I never imagined it would stay with him for so long,” he revealed. In the same way, Dunga’s nickname was born. In the same way, Mostafa Zaki’s brother revealed that the nickname ‘Ziko’ emerged because of him, as he used to be named ‘Ziko’ while playing professional soccer. “When Mostafa started playing, coaches called him ‘little Zico’ because he was my younger brother,” he revealed, via AFP. Being 29 years old, he keeps his nickname, playing at Pyramids FC and Egypt, showcasing the inspiration in the Brazilian legend. Mostafa Zico #11 of Egypt is challenged by Maxim De Cuyper #5 of Belgium. Pavel Nedved and David Beckham inspire Egyptian League players Despite only Mahmoud Trézéguet, Mostafa Ziko, and Nabil Emad Dunga being in the Egyptian national team, in the Egyptian League there remain some names that recall soccer legends such as Pavel Nedvěd, and David Beckham, who have not yet reached the national team. Karim Walid, known as Karim Nedved, is one of the stars of Cleopatra FC in the Egyptian Premier League, who played for Egypt U-23. As happened with Mahmoud Hassan, the same coach who gave the nickname “Trézéguet” supposedly gave him the nickname at the Al-Ahly academy. Similarly, Ahmed Ramadan from Al-Ahly emerges, who plays under the nickname David Beckham.
Full preview of Egypt for the 2026 World Cup, including squad breakdown, key players, and tactical analysis of their chances. Egypt returns to the global stage searching for their first tournament victory. As seven-time African champions, the national team has historically dominated continental play but struggled to replicate that success internationally. This summer represents a defining moment, serving as the likely final opportunity for legendary forward Mohamed Salah to cement his legacy on the biggest stage. Led by former striker Hossam Hassan, the roster blends elite European talent like Omar Marmoush with a hardened domestic core from Al Ahly and Zamalek. Currently ranked 28th globally, the team enters the 2026 World Cup with realistic ambitions of advancing past the group stage. The following breakdown covers their tactical setup, coaching leadership, and overall tournament outlook. Team profile CategoryDetailCoachHossam HassanCaptainMohamed SalahNicknameThe PharaohsFIFA ranking28thConfederationCAFGroupGroup GBest World Cup resultRound of 16 (1934)World Cup appearances4Last World Cup appearance2018 How Egypt play Hossam Hassan deploys a disciplined tactical system designed to exploit transition spaces. The team typically sets up in a compact 4-2-3-1 formation, though the coaching staff will shift to a 3-4-1-2 shape when matchups require additional defensive solidity. Defensively, the side is remarkably tough to break down. During their recent qualifying campaign, they conceded just 0.2 goals per game, establishing one of the tightest defensive records in African soccer. This compact shape forces opponents wide and protects the central areas effectively. In possession, the strategy relies heavily on quick transitions and getting the ball to their elite attackers in isolated situations. Salah operates with freedom to drift centrally from the right flank, occupying half-spaces and making runs behind the defensive line. Meanwhile, the midfield double pivot focuses on ball recovery and rapid distribution rather than sustained possession. This organized, counter-attacking approach makes them a dangerous opponent capable of frustrating top-tier teams in North America. Hossam Hassan: The coach behind Egypt Appointed in February 2024, Hossam Hassan is a revered figure in Egyptian soccer. Before stepping onto the touchline, he established himself as one of the greatest strikers in African history, remaining the national team’s all-time leading scorer with 69 goals across 177 caps. Hassan is known as a fiercely passionate leader who demands strict discipline and intense focus from his roster. He brings a wealth of domestic coaching experience, having managed prominent clubs like Zamalek and Pyramids FC. This summer marks his managerial debut on the global stage. He will make history as the first person to represent the nation at this tournament as both a player—having played every minute of their 1990 campaign—and a head coach. Key player: Mohamed Salah Approaching his 15th year in the national setup, Mohamed Salah remains the undisputed heartbeat of the squad. The 34-year-old forward serves as the captain, primary playmaker, and main attacking threat. Operating primarily as an inverted right-winger, Salah is given the tactical freedom to roam centrally and dictate the offensive tempo. He sits second on the nation’s all-time scoring list with 67 goals, just two behind his current head coach. While his pace has naturally declined, his elite finishing and vision remain world-class. The team’s tactical success relies heavily on his ability to unlock compact defenses and convert transition opportunities. Egypt’s road to the 2026 World Cup Competing in CAF Group A, the team delivered a near-flawless qualification campaign. They finished the round completely unbeaten, securing 26 points from a possible 30 with eight wins and two draws. The squad displayed a dominant +18 goal difference, scoring 20 times while conceding only twice acros
Now the curtain has come down on the 2025-26 Premier League campaign, here is my end-of-season review - with a look back to what I predicted in August. Everton were in position to reach Europe with a few weeks of the season to go, but a late collapse left supporters very frustrated with manager David Moyes and his players. Jack Grealish played his part before a season-ending foot injury, but the workload heaped on Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall eventually took its toll.
Amid a disappointing season, Tottenham face Everton seeking either a win or a draw to remain in the Premier League. Nevertheless, the absence of Cristian Romero remains crucial in the defensive line, potentially proving decisive. Despite being the recent UEFA Europa League champions, Tottenham Hotspur are enduring a disappointing season, fighting to avoid relegation to the EFL Championship. To achieve this, they face Everton today, looking to avoid defeat in order to remain in the Premier League. However, head coach Roberto De Zerbi faces a major challenge, as he will be without Cristian Romero in defense, a highly significant absence. After suffering a serious knee injury against Sunderland, Cristian Romero has remained sidelined since April 12, 2026, missing the remainder of the season. While he is expected to return just in time for the 2026 World Cup with Argentina, he will miss Tottenham Hotspur’s decisive match for Premier League survival. In addition, the 28-year-old defender’s future appears to be in serious doubt, with numerous transfer rumors. In recent days, Romero’s commitment to the Spurs has been heavily questioned, as he was spotted training at the facilities of Club Atlético Belgrano in Argentina. As captain of the English side, fans expected him to be with the team, leading to widespread criticism. However, head coach Roberto de Zerbi revealed that the team and the player decided to have him undergo rehabilitation under the supervision of Argentina and their medical staff. Even though he had permission from Tottenham Hotspur to continue his recovery process in Argentina, Cristian Romero decided to return to London, even being seen at a barber shop through social media posts. Following this, Ben Jacobs, well-known journalist within Premier League, reported that the 28-year-old defender will be present in the stands to support his team, demonstrating his commitment to the dressing room. Tottenham captain Cristian Romero. Tottenham Hotspur lineup vs Everton Tottenham Hotspur enter as clear favorites to defeat Everton, as they are fighting for their survival in the Premier League. In the absence of Cristian Romero, head coach Roberto De Zerbi will once again rely on Kevin Danso and Micky van de Ven, who have impressed in recent matches. In addition, Richarlison and Mathys Tel will expected to lead the attack, looking to make the difference against David Moyes’ team. With this in mind, Spurs will lineup as follows: Antonín Kinský; Djed Spence, Kevin Danso, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie; Rodrigo Bentancur, João Palhinha; Pedro Porro, Conor Gallagher, Mathys Tel; Richarlison. Everton lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur Unlike Tottenham, Everton no longer have anything at stake in the Premier League, as they are neither at risk of relegation nor able to qualify for European competitions. However, head coach David Moyes will still field his strongest roster, as they have not enjoyed a particularly impressive season and would look to finish with a solid victory. To achieve this, the goalscoring presence of Thierno Barry and the contribution of Iliman Ndiaye could prove completely decisive. Considering this, Everton will play as follows: Jordan Pickford; Jake O’Brien, James Tarkowski, Michael Keane, Vitali Mykolenko; James Garner, Tim Iroegbunam; Merlin Röhl, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Iliman Ndiaye; Thierno Barry.
Egypt have unveiled a 27-man provisional roster for the 2026 World Cup, headlined by Premier League stars Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush. With the 2026 World Cup rapidly approaching, Egypt have submitted their 27-man squad list, led by standout Premier League stars Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush. Before the tournament officially kicks off, head coach Hossam Hassan will need to cut one player to finalize the definitive 26-man roster required by FIFA. The Liverpool talisman, who recently said goodbye to Anfield at the end of the season after opting not to renew his contract, will be competing in his second World Cup with the Pharaohs, having previously featured at Russia 2018. During that 2018 tournament, the forward arrived carrying a severe shoulder injury sustained in the UEFA Champions League final, where Liverpool fell to Real Madrid. Despite being physically compromised, Salah still managed to score two goals in his two appearances, though Egypt was ultimately eliminated in the group stage without securing a single point. Joining Egypt’s second all-time leading scorer in attack is Manchester City’s Marmoush, alongside the squad’s biggest surprise selection: 18-year-old wonderkid Hamza Abdelkarim, who has been turning heads in Barcelona’s youth ranks.
