Dani Ceballos has had a strange season at Arsenal. After starting brightly, his performance levels waned somewhat before an injury and lack of application nearly saw him return to Real Madrid in January. But since he forced his way back into the side - coincidentally following Mikel Arteta's appointment as head coach - Ceballos has strung together a number of impressive performances, leading to speculation galore that Arsenal may look to bring him back to the Emirates Stadium for next season,...

There are some players in this world who make the game of football look beautifully simple. From the nonchalant scoring of outrageous goals to possessing a first touch smoother than silk, it all seems to come so naturally for a select few. One player you'd put in that bracket - and many other brackets for that matter - is Netherlands legend Dennis Bergkamp. Written off by the British press upon signing for Arsenal, he made light work of embarrassing his critics by becoming one of the greatest...

Leicester City knew that failure to secure a top four finish would potentially signal the starting klaxon for a mass exodus of some of their top stars. As expected, it's taken a matter of days for the first signs of unrest to rear their head - with Ben Chilwell reportedly planning on handing in a transfer request to speed along his imminent exit to Chelsea. The Blues are not the only club interested with Manchester City keen and Manchester United also keeping an eye on proceedings. He's...

Bayern Munich's flying left-back Alphonso Davies has named his top five full-backs currently operating in world football.

1990 was one of those years. Politics was changing with Thatcherism fraying at the edges in the wake of the Poll Tax riots. Music was changing with the ecstasy-fuelled Madchester scene cementing Britain's place as the dance capital of the world. Most importantly though, football was changing. The 1990 World Cup holds a special place in the hearts of all fans of the beautiful game and, for better or worse, it changed the sport forever. At the centre of it all was a football shirt. Not a home...

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has cooled talk of a move away for 'the best goalkeeper in the world' Jan Oblak this summer, with the Slovenian being linked with Chelsea and Manchester United.

ite Liverpool supporters were handed a sneak peek at the new home strip for the 2020/21 season on Lovell Soccer's website on Wednesday morning, after the sportswear retailer prematurely listed the items and their prices online.

Serie A must be the most competitive 'least competitive' league in Europe. Juventus recently tied up their ninth straight Scudetto, to the surprise of absolutely no one. The name on the trophy remains the same, but once again, the winners were made to sweat for their glory. It didn't come easy to I Bianconeri, and had the coronavirus outbreak not killed Lazio's relentless momentum, it may not have come at all. It did arrive, though, and in doing so, Maurizio Sarri finally completed his 30-year...

The Premier League season ended in heartbreak for Eddie Howe's Bournemouth on Sunday, a 3-1 win over Everton not enough to extend their five-season stay in the top flight.

Bournemouth spent five seasons in the Premier League, finishing as high as ninth However. Bournemouth...
