However, that verdict was recently overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Manchester City had their European ban overturned by the CAS last week Nevertheless, Patrick de Koster - De Bruyne's agent - has said the Belgian is happy...

Bale, Ramsey have Wales eyeing another Cinderella run

War Leicester and Newcastle are said to have joined virtually every other Premier League club in pursuing relegated Norwich's Todd Cantwell. It's been a long slog of a season for Daniel Farke's team, whose long-awaited relegation was confirmed after a 4-0 defeat to West Ham last weekend. Cantwell has been one of few bright spots, emerging from the fringes of the squad to appear in all but one of their league matches this term. His seven Norwich goals this term are bettered only by Teemu Pukki,...

Twitter reacts as Real Madrid confirm Sergio Ramos will leave the club

rink Bournemouth's hopes of Premier League survival were dealt a hammer blow on Sunday afternoon, as strikes from Danny Ings and Che Adams condemned the hosts to a 22nd league defeat in 2019/20. An end-to-end first half saw both sides spurn good opportunities to take the lead, but it was the lethal right boot of Danny Ings which broke the deadlock as he bent in a low effort beyond Aaron Ramsdale to break the home side's spirit.

Messi proud of Barcelona response in Alaves thrashing

Liverpool have been name-checked in connection with a move for Watford winger Ismaila Sarr, although a summer deal appears quite unlikely. Sarr joined Watford for a club record fee close to £30m in August 2019, and has since turned in a number of eye-catching performances, scoring five times and laying on three assists in the Premier League. Liverpool were famously on the receiving end of one of those eye-catching performances on 29 February, when Sarr almost single-handedly ended their...

Toronto FC hoping to make MLS Cup run having spent much of 2020 far from home

It's FA Cup semi-final time, people! While the tension and anxiety of a final often mean the pinnacle of the competition persistently underwhelms, the weekend of semi-final action typically delivers everything you want in a couple of games of football. And while Mikel Arteta's stifling of his master in Arsenal's 2-0 defeat of Manchester City may be a result which defines the Spaniard's era in north London, the game itself was hardly a spectacle and certainly not worthy of being apart of this...

Harvey Elliott explains reason for taking Liverpool's number 19 shirt

rcia One of the major priorities for Manchester City heading into the upcoming transfer window is to strengthen their fragile defence. Aymeric Laporte's injury earlier this season really highlighted how weak and thin City were at the back and many have talked up the need for the club to bring in a world class defender in order to challenge for the title next season, with Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly the name on everyone's lips. Koulibaly has long been rumoured to want out of Naples, and...

Mourinho holds Alli showdown talks

As the ball comes hurtling towards Valencia's penalty area, Santi Cazorla has slipped, unnoticed, into a pocket of space behind the defence. With a wonderful, feathered touch, he tames the unceremonious hoof upfield, teeing up Gerard Moreno for Villarreal's second goal. The quality of the assist is such that Moreno's hip-high volley barely gets little more than a nod of vague appreciation as the goal is incessantly replayed and poured over in the weeks that followed. Sensational goal to double...

Man United's Fernandes gets on the bus to unveil 2020-21 away kit

tors Norwich were relegated after their loss to West Ham earlier in July. That didn't come as much of a surprise, given they'd been destined for the drop for quite some time. But with their relegation now confirmed - and with the summer transfer window beckoning - clubs will be starting to look at some of City's better players. One of these better players is Emiliano Buendia. Buendia celebrating his goal against Watford The Argentine is a diminutive attacking midfielder. He isn't especially...

Sources: FA outsource hire of Clarke's successor

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has denied that his players are attempting to con the referee into awarding penalties during matches. The Red Devils have received 13 penalties this season, one short of a new record for spot-kicks awarded to a single club over the course of a Premier League season. Ahead of his side's FA Cup tie against Man Utd, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard suggested that Solskjaer's players are actively seeking their apparent good fortune. Lampard has told his...

Ralf Rangnick's changes decide another game for Manchester United

Former Chelsea director Michael Emenalo has revealed that Kevin De Bruyne's departure in 2014 was actually one of the catalysts behind Chelsea's recent focus on academy talents.

De Bruyne is now an elite talent with Manchester City It's a similar story with Chelsea's...

Sources: River Plate still keen on NYCFC's 'Taty'

Being in with a shot of the Spanish title was expected of Real Madrid after they secured the club-record signing of Eden Hazard last summer, but while they've achieved their goals, the Belgian's impact was bit-part at best. Openly admitting to being overweight for the start of the season and suffering a string of niggling injuries has resulted in the forward making just 21 appearances in all competitions and a single goal.
