Mbappe: I meet criteria to win 2023 Ballon d'Or

Football hasn't quite been the same since June 2000. With Luis Figo's world record €62m move from Real Madrid to Barcelona, the fee alone had a seismic impact - as did the near civil-war he instigated between the El Clasico giants - as Barça fans spat fire every time a Figo-led Real entered the pitch at Camp Nou. More significant than all of that, however, was what it represented. The contentious, maniacal signing was the perfect pace-setter for Florentino Perez's first reign of madness, and...

PSG Boss Thomas Tuchel Dismisses Links With Arsenal's Matteo Guendouzi

David de Gea's recent form may not have earned him many fans in Manchester (or, well, anywhere) but one person who remains convinced of the Spaniard's credentials is Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel. De Gea, once widely viewed as one of the best around, has seen his stock plummet over the past couple of years. A series of inconsistent performances strewn with high-profile errors, most recently in the FA Cup defeat to Chelsea, have thrown his United future into doubt - especially with...

Watch Norwich v Liverpool with LIVENow

When the team sheets were released for Juventus' meeting with Lazio, Paulo Dybala's name was missing for the second match in a row. Ultimately, his Argentine compatriot Gonzalo Higuaín pulled out of the starting lineup with an injury during the warm up as Dybala took his place. Yet, in a game where defeat would have gone some way to reopening the title race, Maurizio Sarri had - initially - not turned to the lethal 26-year-old. Dybala teed up Cristiano Ronaldo for his second goal of the game...

How Man Utd's 3 January signings are settling in

The digit which adorns the back of a shirt has become so much more than an efficient way of identifying which one of the 11 players charging about the pitch happens to be on the ball. For some, the number nine and ten may go down as the more iconic figures in footballing history, but the number seven shirt is almost unique in the sense that it is more readily associated with a player rather than a position.

This came after he posted similarly impressive numbers during the 2018/2019 campaign. Sancho has probably played his final game for Borussia Dortmund Unsurprisingly his form has...
