Messi Barca's best once again, carrying Blaugrana to bounce-back win

Andreas Pereira has no real future at Manchester United. Despite signing a new contract just last year and getting a solid run in the team between September and December and then briefly in January, the Belgium-born Brazilian quickly fell out of favour once Bruno Fernandes arrived and performances took a sharp turn for the better. Pereira didn’t even make the matchday squad for two of United’s last three Premier League games and was an unused substitute for the other. With strong competition...

2021 Kopa Trophy nominees announced

Japhet Tanganga has been ruled out of Tottenham's return to Premier League action with a suspected fracture to his back. Spurs resume their top flight campaign after a three-month coronavirus-enforced hiatus with the visit of Manchester United on Friday. The break has given Jose Mourinho the opportunity to welcome Harry Kane, Moussa Sissoko, Heung-min Son and Steven Bergwijn back into the side after time on the treatment table, but Spurs have been dealt a fresh injury blow ahead of their...

They don't make footballers like Paul Gascoigne anymore. No one plays with quite the same boyish charm, enthusiasm and imagination of the former England international. An assortment of mesmerisingly skilful and creative players have come along since Gazza hung up his boots in 2004, but the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are almost too polished, too perfect. You could not take your eyes off Paul Gascoigne in full flight Gazza played with an innocence. He was imperfect. He didn't...

Mohamed Salah turns 28 today, and if anyone deserves a happy birthday, it's him.

In celebration of Salah day, then, we've ranked all 20 African players ever to turn out for Liverpool's first team. 20. Sean Dundee (South Africa) Sean Dundee Sean Dundee is a...

For every Matteo Guendouzi who looks like they'll be playing at the top level for years to come, there's a David Luiz who outstays their welcome, clogging up the wage bill and holding up the development of the next Tony Adams in Arsenal's academy.

Arsenal Poised to Open Talks With Mohamed Elneny Over a Contract Extension

There's another massive fixture this Tuesday in the Bundesliga, as struggling Werder Bremen host champions elect Bayern Munich at the Weser Stadium. With Bayern's eighth title in a row all but sealed now, the onus will be on Werder Bremen to show some of their historic fight and zeal to get something out of this match to keep their survival hopes alive. But with Thomas Müller and Robert Lewandowski returning from suspension and Serge Gnabry from injury, Bayern are ominously back to full...

Newcastle have started discussions over a possible move for Marcos Alonso, with Chelsea stepping up their interest in Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell. The Magpies are awaiting confirmation of a takeover by a consortium bankrolled by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), with the prospective ownership apparently keen to spend in the transfer market. 29-year-old Spain international Alonso appears not to be in Frank Lampard's long-term plans at Stamford Bridge, with the Chelsea manager...

Source: LAFC near deal for Colombian striker

Napoli forward Dries Mertens was close to agreeing a move to Chelsea this summer, before a change of heart meant he will now be extending his stay in Italy beyond the 2019/20 season. The 33-year-old became Gli Azzurri's all-time top goalscorer on Saturday night when he netted his 122nd goal during a 1-1 draw with Inter in the Coppa Italia semi-final. He was set to become a free agent in the summer, with many teams including Inter and Newcastle setting their sights on signing him – but Kristof...

Player loan terminated due to TikTok use

Thomas Muller has moved to clarify comments that appeared to criticise the club for pressing ahead with transfer plans, while first-team players waive 20% of their salary to help pay staff. Muller appeared frustrated when asked a question about Bayern Munich's interest in Kai Havertz, following his side's 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt that booked their place in the German Cup final. One or two eyebrows were raised when he claimed there was a 'paradox' in the club's finances, but...

Klopp on Liverpool's title: 'Best thing I could ever imagine"

When Paul Pogba doesn’t start for Manchester United in Friday night’s first game back it should not be unexpected given the circumstances and the player’s long road to fitness. It is entirely logical and not at all controversial, but you can bet that the latter is how it will be framed and reported when the United XI is published an hour before kick-off against Tottenham and the Frenchman’s name is only listed among the substitutes. Pogba last started a game for United nine months ago Large...

Kaizer Chiefs defender Frosler among six players withdrawn from Bafana Bafana squad

W30+ So, we've sampled a fair bit of the Bundesliga, a few games here and there from La Liga and the Coppa Italia, and a ridiculous amount of the Belarusian Premier League. But finally, the return of the Premier League is upon us. That means those of us with the fantasy bug can start drafting and redrafting our teams ahead of the first fixtures on Wednesday night. There's just one small problem: the form book has gone completely out of the window. Aside from the behind closed doors friendlies...

The Premier League Return Is the Start of a Critical Year for James Maddison

News Borussia Dortmund's title challenge may be over by the time they play Mainz on Wednesday, with Bayern Munich having the opportunity to seal the title against Werder Bremen on Tuesday. However, the Black and Yellows will still be hungry for three points as they look to secure second place and extend the gap between themselves and third-placed RB Leipzig.
