Profiling Folarin Balogun, who is likely to leave Premier League side Arsenal in the summer in the search for first team opportunities.

Very few would have predicted that Bruno Fernandes would have had this much of a positive impact on Manchester United so soon after joining. Last summer, the Portuguese midfielder was persistently linked with a number of clubs, most notably United - but a move didn't materialised. Indeed, one of last summer's longest-running transfer sagas was set to drag on until the next window. That was until Sporting CP announced in November of 2019 that he had put pen to paper on a new contract. It...

ints Everton held on to overcome Leicester 2-1 at Goodison Park on Wednesday, despite a brighter second half display from the Foxes. The Foxes looked to dominate the ball in the early stages, but it was the hosts who struck first. Anthony Gordon raced down the line before looking up and fizzing in a low cross, which Richarlison connected with beautifully on ten minutes. FT. Magnifico. ? ? 2-1 ? #EVELEI pic.twitter.com/vSd3rvFGtT — Everton (@Everton) July 1, 2020 And on 15 minutes, after a VAR...

ies Newcastle United made it five games unbeaten with a convincing 4-1 victory over a relegation threatened Bournemouth side at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday evening. The home side went into the game needing a win as their battle to survive relegation continued, yet were architects of their own downfall as Jefferson Lerma gifted Dwight Gayle an opening within five minutes, before Sean Longstaff's impressive finish doubled Newcastle's lead prior to the break. Joshua King had a goal rightly...

gain It's worth prefacing this with a couple of facts, y'know, just to base what follows in reality. Manchester United are fifth in the Premier League after 32 games, and not currently in the top four. SHOP MANCHESTER UNITED: Get the latest gear from Adidas! And yes, on Tuesday night, it was Brighton and Hove Albion who they brushed aside by three goals to nil. This, a team sitting 15th in the division, just about clear of the relegation places.

Manchester United have confirmed that Alexis Sanchez and Chris Smalling will spend the remainder of the 2019/20 season on loan at Inter and Roma respectively. Both loan deals were due to expire at the end of June, which would ordinarily have been after the end of the season. But temporary extensions until the first week of August will allow each player to remain on loan until the end of the Serie A season. Smalling has impressed since joining Roma on loan With both Inter and Roma still in the...

We all love a footballing enigma. Someone who you can't quite wrap your head around. Is he actually good? Is he overrated? Is everything going against him? Robinho slots into that mould rather fluidly. However, at the turn of the century, everything was going for him. Robinho lifts the league title with Santos Robinho was billed not only as one of the greatest prospects of his era, but indeed one of the most exciting ever. That can, admittedly, get quite tiresome. We're used to the normal...

Manchester United have confirmed that Angel Gomes has left the club after turning down the offer of a new contract. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with leaving Old Trafford in search of first team opportunities, having made only ten senior appearances for the Red Devils since making his debut in 2017.

On June 30th 2020, Lionel Messi joined a very exclusive club. With a delicate Panenka penalty against Atletico Madrid, the six time Ballon d'Or winner became only the seventh footballer to score 700 professional goals. With this extraordinary tally, it is difficult to narrow it down, but here are Lionel Messi's ten most memorable goals. 1. vs Albacete (La Liga, 04/05) A photo that will go down in history, as Messi celebrates his first goal with Barcelona legend Ronaldinho Only 17 at the time,...

Lionel Messi has scored an astonishing 700 goals in his career - here are his ten most memorable.

Roman Burki has said that his Dortmund teammate Jadon Sancho is "a long way off" being considered one of the best players in the world.

With the 2019/20 season set to run deep into summer as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, players whose deals were due to expire on 30 June have now either penned short-term extensions, agreed deals to move to new clubs, or left as free agents. Here's a look at nine of the most high-profile stars now on the lookout for new clubs after becoming free agents as of 1 July. Edinson Cavani Cavani was clinical at PSG Where else could we start? Joining Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2013,...

Arsenal's contract dealings have come under a great deal of scrutiny of late - and quite rightly as well. Extending the high earning David Luiz's deal, days after he put in one of the worst Premier League performances of all time against Manchester City was difficult to defend, even for the most optimistic advocates of the unpredictable Brazilian. Arsenal's last minute defeat to Brighton will have frustrated Gunners fans Similarly, gifting Cedric Soares a four-year contract when the Portuguese...

At midnight on Tuesday night, just moments after Barcelona had suffered yet another frustrating draw - this time at home to Atletico Madrid - the contract of 33-year-old Arda Turan finally expired. Such is the madness of this season - as pointed out on Twitter by Spanish football writer Euan McTear - Turan could've come on in the match and seen his contract expire while playing had time run over. Only, he isn't actually registered to play. The 100-cap Turkey international hasn't played a...

Ross Barkley is perhaps the most frustrating Premier League player to watch. When he's good, he's really very good. When he's poor, he's...well, really very poor. Time after time, the midfielder follows up a performance full of vigour and energy with one where you forget he's even on the pitch. It's slightly baffling that at 26 and with that talent he undeniably possesses, Barkley is yet to make a significant impact in the Premier League. Ross Barkley ?

Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that he is hopeful that Everton can start challenging for the Premier League title 'soon'. When he's not forgetting long-serving players in his squad, the Italian is working hard to turn around the Toffees' fortunes and to date has recorded six wins and four draws from his first 14 matches in the hotseat.

Real Madrid have essentially been told to look elsewhere in the transfer market by French side Rennes, with the club's sporting director insisting €80m would not be enough to sign coveted starlet Eduardo Camavinga. The 17-year-old has caught the eye in Ligue 1 this season, dazzling in the centre of the park. Camavinga had made 25 league appearances for Rennes this year until the campaign was brought to a premature end by the coronavirus outbreak. Camavinga in action for Rennes this season But...

Juventus have made contact with the representatives of Valencia's Ferran Torres, with one source claiming that talks are at an 'intensive stage' ahead of a proposed summer move to Turin. With six goals and seven assists in all competitions this season, Torres has been the standout star for Los Ches, but his form has been unable to prevent them embarking on a run of just two wins in 13 matches - resulting in Albert Celades recently being sacked as manager.

Former Manchester United goalkeeping coach Eric Steele, who played a monumental role in David de Gea joining the club in 2011, has backed the under fire Spaniard to return to his former best and potentially even stay at Old Trafford for another 10 years. De Gea has experienced a dip in form over the last couple of seasons, resulting in a number of high profile errors. The most recent of those came against Tottenham in the first game of the Premier League restart, although a flying save against...

tics Given the utter failure of England's 'Golden Generation', the distaste for Harry Kane among English fans rather bizarre. They have a genuinely world class forward in our ranks, and yet they choose to mock and deride him. And not for good reasons, either. He's slaughtered for saying he scored a goal that he may or may not have scored, winning the Golden Boot at the World Cup, and not passing to Raheem Sterling (worth noting: a still image or slow-motion video doesn't tell the full story)....
