The Premier League season is over and we now know that Norwich City, Watford and Bournemouth will be the unlucky trio making the drop to the Championship. As is normal at this point in the football calendar, managers around the globe are taking a close look at those three teams to see whether any have some real stars who might be available on the cheap as a result of relegation, and that's more important now than ever. The Class of 2020 boasts some outstanding talents, including (but not...

While some fans were nervously biting their fingernails on the final day of the Premier League season, Brighton fans were relaxing. Months of worry and nerves jangling had already been brought to an end after Graham Potter's side upped the ante after play restarted in June, putting together an impressive run of results that ensured they would beat the drop for another year. This year has been a season of transition following the departure of Chris Hughton as boss, so how have they got on?...

Well, Crystal Palace fans, that was anticlimactic wasn't it? After exceeding expectations for the majority of the season, it looked as though Roy Hodgson's side had made serious progress this year and were on their way to their highest ever Premier League finish, but somewhere, somehow, things went very wrong. Seven straight league defeats led to the Eagles picking up just one point out of a possible 24 from their final eight games of the season. Absolutely absurdly bad form. Manchester City v...

Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has admitted the club are already working on securing new additions to his squad. The Magpies ended the 2019/20 Premier League season in 13th place, the same position achieved in the 2018/19 season under previous manager Rafa Benitez.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that Shkodran Mustafi's injury is so bad that he may have to turn to the transfer market to find a replacement. The centre-back was forced off the field late on in Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final with what appeared to be a hamstring injury, and further scans on the problem have revealed that it is worse than first thought. Mustafi limped off against Manchester City Arsenal are already without Calum Chambers, while...

History has been littered with figures who inspire a testing cocktail of emotions. These divisive characters are normally bound to the confines of fiction given the delicate complexity of a personality required to illicit both disgust and admiration from the same onlooker. Yet, while Holden Caulfield, Patrick Bateman and Bella Swan can certainly divide a room, Luis Suárez offers a real-world example who emphatically splits opinion. Luis Suárez has proven to be a phenomenal footballer but has...

Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz is no longer expected to stay and finish the German side's Europa League campaign this summer, paving the way for a move to Chelsea to be finalised in the near future. The Blues are expected to get a deal over the line in time for next season, but it was initially expected that Havertz would stay in Leverkusen to finish their European campaign, with manager Peter Bosz recently admitting he hoped to count on Havertz this summer. Frank Lampard sees Havertz as a...

The curtain has come down on the 2019/20 Premier League season which, for pretty much every reason imaginable (and plenty you couldn't predict), will be one of the most memorable of all time. From start to finish, we saw plenty of stellar performances from players all over the division. Records were set and expectations were exceeded, and that's what made this campaign so special. Here's 90min's Team of the Season from the past year. Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker Alisson helped Liverpool concede...

After 351 days, 38 games, three managers, two derby defeats and one somewhat underwhelming 12th-placed finish, the best thing about this season for some Everton fans might just be that it eventually ended. In classic fashion, the club had fooled its supporters in to believing that things would be different this year. Some much-needed continuity was there to build on after a credible campaign from Marco Silva, Director of Football Marcel Brands had everyone sold on Everton's newfound ambition...

Manchester United were on course for their worst season since 1989/90 not all that long ago, daring to run close a transitional side under Alex Ferguson (not then a Sir) who finished as low as 13th in the old First Division – supposedly only FA Cup victory that year saved Fergie’s job. In the end, United managed to finish third for what is their second highest finish in the seven seasons since Ferguson decided to finally call it a day in 2013. Bruno Fernandes sparked a remarkable upturn...

Borussia Dortmund have rejected Manchester United's opening offer of €98m (£89m) for winger Jadon Sancho, according to a report in Germany. The Englishman is United's top target for the summer, but the coronavirus outbreak has left United hesitant to spend too heavily on any one player as they eye a handful of new signings this summer. Talks between the two clubs are continuing Now that United have sealed qualification for the Champions League, they are confident they can afford a deal and...

Jan Vertonghen has confirmed his exit from Tottenham Hotspur following the expiration of his contract, labelling it a ‘sad day’ as he leaves the club after eight years in north London. Back-up goalkeeper Michel Vorm has also been released. Vertonghen, who joined Spurs from Ajax in 2012 and played over 300 games in that time, is now available to prospective new clubs as a free agent ahead of next season. Thank you for all the support over the years. You’ve been amazing. We had many unbelievable...

Take a deep breath while you can, for the 2019/20 Premier League season is finally behind us. It's been a long 11 months and somehow we're only seven weeks out from the new campaign starting, so let's take a moment to reflect on some of the winners from the season that was. 1. Player of the Season - Jordan Henderson Henderson is a deserved winner The massively influential captain of the best team in the league, Henderson may not be posting up double figures in goals or assists, but that's not...

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confessed he has enjoyed forcing sceptics to change their minds about how good his side are. The Red Devils entered the 2019/20 season in crisis, and that trend continued as they found themselves as low as 14th in the Premier League table at one point. Solskjaer was seen by many as out of his depth, and the United squad as a whole was often ridiculed for it's 'lack of talent'. Back where we belong. pic.twitter.com/1pCEVpxueD — Victor Lindelöf...

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has confessed that he has been left stunned by just how good Virgil van Dijk has turned out to be. The Reds made Van Dijk the world's most expensive defender at the time when they signed him for £75m in January 2018, so expectations were obviously very high, and Van Dijk has repaid that faith by finishing second in the Ballon d'Or race and leading Liverpool to Champions League and Premier League glory. Say cheese! ? pic.twitter.com/WoUIsRMYDh — Virgil van Dijk...

Tottenham Hotspur manager José Mourinho has praised his side for proving they deserve to be higher in the table with their post-lockdown form. After the Premier League resumed, Spurs lost just one of their ten fixtures (the 3-1 loss to Sheffield United), picking up five wins and four draws. Their last result, the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, saw Spurs leapfrog Wolves into the final Europa League spot.

Rangers? Winning a trophy that Glasgow rivals Celtic could have scooped? You'd be forgiven for thinking that's not possible, but that's exactly what happened when Steven Gerrard's side earned the Veolia Trophy after beating decent Ligue 1 opposition in Lyon and Nice. Celtic, meanwhile, laboured to a 1-1 with Patrick Vieira's side - admittedly, it was the Bhoys' first game in 131 days - while they narrowly lost out to Lyon at the Groupama Stadium. Two wins from two in Lyon to start pre-season,...

Juventus sealed a record-extending ninth Serie A title in a row on Sunday night, beating Sampdoria 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium to take an unassailable lead at the top of the table. La Vecchia Signora did have the chance to wrap up the title when they face Udinese in midweek, but threw away a lead to lose 2-1. However, that result merely prolonged the inevitable - with Juve now confirmed as champions after goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Federico Bernardeschi. Maurizio Sarri's first season in...

Juventus making history is getting a bit boring now, isn't it? For those of you who stopped counting ages ago, it's now nine Serie A titles in a row for the Turin giants, who swept aside Claudio Ranieri's Sampdoria to move seven points clear of Inter with two games to play.
