Leicester City boss Rodgers expects Ndidi to be out of action for 10 days

Youth development is a tricky thing. Creating and nurturing players in an academy is hard enough, but finding a spot for those talents in the first team is even harder. In a world with so much money, you have to be truly special to break through. For some teams, bringing through these homegrown talents is not so challenging. Tifosy took a look at all the squads in Europe's top five leagues to see which teams have the biggest percentage of academy graduates in their current squad. Here are the...

Inter sign Man Utd flop Sanchez on free transfer

Fenerbahce 'Approach' West Ham Over Loan Deal for Manuel Lanzini

To coin a common phrase, two is company and three's a crowd. And having starred on-loan at Borussia Dortmund over the past two seasons, Real Madrid's right-back Achraf Hakimi finds himself in the middle of a Premier League crowd - as 90min understands that Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City have all enquired about his availability this summer. While it is anticipated that the Moroccan will find himself playing in the famous white colours of Los Blancos next season - despite Dortmund's...

'He believes in Inter' - Agent says Spurs-linked Lautaro wants to stay

Boca Juniors are reported to be considering a move for Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo this summer, with the defender keen to play regular football next season in order to work his way back into the Argentina squad. Rojo was used sparingly by United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the first half of the season, with the return of Eric Bailly forcing him even further down the central defensive pecking order. With Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof the undisputed first-choice pairing,...

Leicester vs PSV Eindhoven: TV channel, live stream, team news & prediction

Hertha Berlin's sporting director has insisted that Marko Grujić will return to Liverpool a hugely improved player from when he first arrived in Germany. The Serbian international joined Die Alte Dame in 2018 on an initial one-year loan, before having his stay extended for another season after some impressive displays. He's been a regular in the first team during the 2019/20 season, and has scored four goals in his 25 Bundesliga appearances so far. Hertha's sporting director Michael Preetz has...

Sources: Chelsea lead Barca in race for Raphinha

d Go Mario Balotelli's mother broke into tears when he told her he was going back to the town where he grew up to play for its main football club, Brescia Calcio. However, the Italy international has failed fitness tests, missed training, and endured poor form during his time in the Lombardy region. His record of five goals in 19 outings for the club is an unattractive return for a striker of his pedigree, and Brescia sit rock bottom of the Serie A table. The gamble evidently didn't pay off....

Crystal Palace close to agreeing £22m deal for Cheick Doucoure

A 55th minute substitute for Marcos Rojo, Timothy Fosu-Mensah made his Manchester United debut in February 2016 under Louis van Gaal; the same game that fellow Premier League debutant Marcus Rashford scored twice in to beat Arsenal 3-2. That appearance came two years after he joined the club from Ajax, where he quickly made a name for himself in United's youth setup. But while Rashford has since become United's John Cena, things have only gone downhill for Fosu-Mensah - whose career is more...

Transfer Talk: Barcelona, Bayern Munich in standstill over Lewandowski

010 The image of a short-haired Fernando Torres, wearing that long-sleeved Standard Chartered Liverpool shirt is a harrowing one for anyone associated with the club. It's representative of a time when things could not have been going more wrong even if that was the plan. By 2010, the club was a cataclysmic shambles. Gone were the title-tustling, Champions League-winning days of Rafa Benitez which threatened a new dawn of Anfield greatness. Benitez had been replaced with Roy Hodgson, Xabi Alonso...

Pogba wants Manchester United to be ‘arrogant’ in title challenge as he admits silverware is still a long way off

Arturo Vidal will not consider leaving Barcelona until all of their 2019/20 fixtures are finished - even if that means missing out on a move to Inter this summer. The Chilean is, somewhat deceptively, one of modern football's most accomplished players. Though he has developed something of a mercenary reputation, joining Bayern from Juventus before moving to Barcelona in 2018, he has won league titles in each of his last eight seasons - four on the spin with Juve and three with Bayern before...

How Tottenham can avoid relegation from the WSL

Kurt Zouma is a bit of an enigma, isn't he? He's not a world class defender, but most Premier League teams would take him in a heartbeat. Tottenham are now said to be interested in securing the Frenchman's services, along with former club Everton, and it presents something of a crossroads for Zouma, as a move to the former would see him reunite with his old manager José Mourinho, a known admirer. So with funds needed to bring in a quality left back, do Chelsea stick or twist with Zouma? Well,...

The 2026 World Cup: 48 teams, more groups, more venues, more games

More Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka was an unknown quantity in English football when he joined the Magpies on loan from Sparta Prague in January 2018, halfway through a tough first season back in the Premier League. Yet the Slovakian international quickly established himself as a key player with his performances, helping his new team pull away from the relegation battle brewing just beneath them and ultimately to an impressive top half finish. Dubravka was recognised at the end of...

Liverpool Sweating on Thiago Alcantara Fitness Ahead of Man City Clash

With less than a week to go before we're all blessed with the Premier League returning, all the excitement is naturally around who is going to play and who is going to grab the headlines. But behind all that are a number of players who've failed to dazzle; either warming up the bench or offering precious little when called upon. This is the case for a swathe of players across top flight clubs, and they've certainly got a point to prove to prevent their respective managers losing their...

Ex-Orlando Pirates coach Papic: Kaizer Chiefs can also score three

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has confirmed his club’s interest in having on-loan Real Madrid full-back Achraf Hakimi remain at Westfalenstadion for a third season, while the player himself is not thought to be against the idea after so far thriving in Germany. Still only 21, Hakimi joined Dortmund as a teenager in 2018 on a temporary two-year deal, after failing to consistently earn a place in Real Madrid's matchday squads. Hakimi has played 17 times for Real Madrid The...

Mauricio Pochettino Compares Dele Alli to Diego Maradona & Ronaldinho Due to Special 'Charisma'

Football is back, but you're living in dreamland if you think that will be enough to stem the tide of flimsy rumours related to the game's most over-priced players. Where Gareth Bale was once the centre of attention, however, it's Philippe Coutinho who has now taken to centre court. The Brazilian's move to Barcelona in January 2018 was designed to catapult him into the stratosphere, but a series of bad decisions - including but not limited to joining Bayern Munich on loan - have seen his stock...

Wout Weghorst: Things to Know About the Prolific Dutch Striker

Some transfers make absolutely no sense whatsoever. But, some of those transfers make total sense when you realise that Arsenal are involved. This is a club who signed a midfielder with a broken back for Pete's sake. ? @OficialCedric https://t.co/Bhua48v3eh pic.twitter.com/W60e5EraKT — Arsenal (@Arsenal) June 5, 2020 On the face of it, striking a loan deal for Cedric Soares as cover for Hector Bellerin in January wasn't a totally barmy idea.
