Andoni Zubizarreta -Marseille sporting director- has been tracking Aboubakar, Carlos Bacca, Olivier Giroud and Nikola Kalinic who signed with AC Milan on Monday. And if Conceicao’s words are to go by, Zubizarreta might as well miss out on a second target. “Aboubakar definitely deserves to succeed and assert himself like me, or like Samuel Eto’o for example, because he has everything that it takes to get there,” the former Canaries coach was quoted by O’Jogo....

Nobody gossips in print or on the air about the private life of King Juan Carlos or his family....
