Teemu Pukki har gjort succé i inledningen av säsongen i Premier League där han svarat för sex mål på åtta matcher. Nu kopplas han ihop med storklubben Inter.

Det är Calcio Mercato News som skriver att man tittar på 29-åringen som en ersättare till skadade Alexis Sanchez.

Tidigare har det även rapporteras om att Serie A-klubben har Zlatan på sin lista över tänkbara nyförvärv i januari.

Today at 12 noon in Helsinki the draw for the knockout rounds of the Champions Hockey League took place.

And the chance of another Swedish winner in the competition have been heavily reduced as four of the five clubs from that nation have been drawn against each other in the playoffs. Only Luleå HF will face foreign opposition in the last 16 stage, but they will find that SC Bern, the home club of 2012 New York Rangers drafted Swede, Calle Andersson, are no push over if they want to advance.

Current champions, Frölunda Indians, will also have their work cut out against Färjestad BK, whilst Skellefteå AIK will face Djurgården IF in a re-run of last year's SHL quarterfinal match.

Whoever survives this clash will almost certainly face last year's CHL finalists, Red Bull Munich. They have been drawn against Yunost Minsk who are the first team from Belarus ever to make it to the playoffs. Munich should win with ease and my feeling is that they will beat which ever Swedish team they meet in the quarterfinals. That's because they will probably be more hungry for CHL glory than their SHL rivals.

If Munich win against Skellefteå or Djurgården they could well face another DEL club left in the tournament. That is because German team Adler Mannheim are in a favourable position as the strongest team in their quartet of playoff clubs. They will play Czech team Mountfield HK and then play the winner of Tappara Tampere verses EV Zug. If Mannheim played as they did in the group stages they should be capable of beating all three of these teams.

The group stages of the European competition are finally over and the knockout stages will begin on 12 November.

Swedish teams, Luleå HF, Färjestad BK, Djurgården IF, Skellefteå AIK and reigning CHL and SHL champions, Frölunda Indians all made through, whilst Swiss team EHC Biel-Bienne collected the most points only losing one game, away at Tappara Tampere of Finland.

Frölunda's Ryan Lasch again tops out the scoring table with 1G+14A, whilst HC Pilsen's former Färjestad player, Milan Gulas (above) leads the goals scored and with 8G+4A is just behind the American on Total Points.

And the predictions made by A Brit On Thin Ice in June when the draw was made for the Group stages of who would go through almost worked perfectly.

Perhaps the major surprise was the advancement of Belarus team, Yonust Minsk, as the first team from the country to make it out of the group stages. from Group D.

However, my tip for Silver medal this year, Finland's Kärpät Oulu, never made it out of their group of death. Even an overtime win at home to Skellefteå AIK proved not to be enough as SC Bern's win took them into second place knocking the Finns into third, despite the fact that the three teams all finished with 11 points.

Swedish teams have competed in all five CHL finals winning four times. And this year, on current form it might be German side Adler Mannheim or Swiss side EV Zug that can threaten the blue and gold dominance over the trophy. Both teams had strong group match phases and beat tough opposition at home (Djurgården IF and HC Pilsen respectively).

But don't count out a repeat of the first ever CHL final in 2014/5 which was, so far, the only all Swedish final.

Nu är det klart: Mattias Beck slutar spela hockey efter en karriär som framför allt har spenderats i HockeyAllsvenskan, där han gjort flera riktigt bra säsonger.

"Tack och bock, den aktiva karriären är över...herregud va kul det varit och vad mycket jag fått uppleva, alla jag lärt känna i hockeyfamiljen. Dags för nästa kapitel, inspirerande grejer på gång! Tack alla om stöttat och hejat", skriver Beck på Twitter.

36-åringen med juniorlandslagsmeriterna har bland annat representerat Vita Hästen, Södertälje och AIK i allsvenska sammanhang.

Det har blivit totalt 409 poäng på 647 matcher i HockeyAllsvenskan.

Denna säsong har Elfsborg lånat in Jonathan Levi från norska storklubben Rosenborg, och nu står det klart att 23-åringen inte blir kvar i den allsvenska klubben efter säsongen.

Han kallas tillbaka.

- Han ska tillbaka hit, säger det norska lagets tränare Eirik Horneland till Adresseavisen.

Förutom fyra mål har mittfältaren även noterats för två framspelningar i Allsvenskan denna säsong.
