Mesut Ozil will not feature for Arsenal in the FA Cup final, amid reports that he travelled to Turkey several days ago. The 31-year-old has been iced out by Mikel Arteta recently and has not featured for the Gunners since making a cameo appearance in their 2-0 win over Southampton in June. This latest spell on the sidelines is apparently due to a back injury, though there has been speculation that Mikel Arteta views the attacking midfielder as a negative influence on the squad. Ozil spent the...

mer Brighton have had a good season in the Premier League. Finishing 15th, they secured their highest ever finish in the top-flight and highest points tally with 41, all whilst playing a more exciting, expansive brand of football. Despite this relative success though, Graham Potter will want more from his side and will be looking at ways to improve the team this summer - making them a bigger threat going forward and more easy on the eye. Here is a detailed look at every first-team player on the...

baly Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has set Kalidou Koulibaly's price tag at €90m (£81m), with the defender attracting serious Premier League interest. Koulibaly is considered one of the best centre-backs in world football and has made just shy of 250 appearances for the Serie A side since arriving in 2014. Koulibaly has won 33 caps for Senegal during his career Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea are among the clubs to have linked with the defensive colossus. De...

The 2019/20 Scottish Premiership season was brought to an abrupt end, and for Rangers that meant being forced to sit back and watch as Celtic lifted their ninth consecutive league title. Steven Gerrard's men took a step in the right direction and still have the remainder of the Europa League campaign to look forward to, but make no mistake, Rangers will not be happy until they're sat on Scottish football's throne once again. Could the 2020/21 season be Rangers' time to shine? Here's all you...

Manchester United's pursuit of Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho looks to be drawing to a close, with the Red Devils said to have finally found an agreement over an initial fee for the Englishman. Dortmund have accepted that Sancho could be sold this summer, but they have always been adamant that there would be no discounted fee and any interested side would have to pay €120m (£109m) to get a deal over the line. A fee of €120m has often been suggested Up to this point, United have...

ked Arsenal and Chelsea meet this Saturday in the FA Cup final, with the final bit of domestic silverware up for grabs. The Gunners' 13 titles leads all other clubs in English football history, whilst Chelsea can probably stake a claim to being their closest rivals in terms of recent cup final victories at Wembley. Plenty of high class players have turned out for both teams in recent years, but how do they rank alongside side each other? Let's take a look. 1. Yossi Benayoun Yossi Benayoun The...

While the football in England comes to an end, those north of the border don't have to wait long for their teams to return to competitive action. Celtic kick off their 2020/21 Scottish Premiership season on Sunday with a home game against Hamilton. It marks the start of what could be a memorable year for the club, as they aim to win their tenth consecutive league title. How likely are they to achieve that? Well, read on... Last Season Celtic won the Scottish League Cup last season Celtic's...

Football kit culture is enjoying somewhat of a resurgence as of late. Suddenly it's fashionable to dress up your snazziest retro team wear with the waviest pair of trousers you can find, and rock it like it's 1994. While some clubs are now trying to cater to that fashion element of football shirt culture once again, the infamous concept of a pink kit will forever be polarising. Seeing your team take to the field in a pink strip can only be compared to seeing Rey Mysterio wrestle without a...

The English Football League have ruled that Sheffield Wednesday will start the 2020/21 season on -12 points after being found guilty of breaching Profit and Sustainability regulations. The club were first charged back in November 2019 after being accused of including the sale of their Hillsborough stadium in their 2017/18 accounts, despite the fact that the ground was actually sold a year later. Hillsborough was sold in 2019 A full hearing was held in June, and the EFL have now confirmed on...

2020 The most bizarre season of the Premier League is finally at an end; just under a year after it started. At one point we were staring at the bleak possibility of being introduced to Mr Null and Mrs Void, but thankfully we salvaged the finale and it largely didn't disappoint. When Project Restart kicked into gear, there were plenty of changes and football looked a bit...well, weird. We all got over it eventually and the teams did too, with some decent games emerging from the early rather...

It may have been an awful 2020 so far, but one thing that's sure to brighten the mood - slightly - is the opening of the summer transfer window. With the next few months ready to be filled with transfer sagas, rumours, and downright lies, one club front and centre is Manchester United. Despite the window having been open for a matter of days, United have already been linked with a plethora of top talent, including Jadon Sancho and Raúl Jiménez. Yet while Sancho remains the real top target for...

Ah, the FA Cup. The magic of the FA Cup. It's an exhilarating ride, and this one is set to come to an end on Saturday when Chelsea meet London rivals Arsenal at Wembley. In the not-too-distant past, that wouldn't have been a daunting prospect for Chelsea. The FA Cup was the Blues' tournament. Wembley was their playground. Didier Drogba was king. Between 2006 and 2012, Chelsea lifted the cup no less than four times, and they also reached the semi-final in 2013. If there was one team you didn't...

Three years on, it's happening again. Arsenal and Chelsea will meet in this season's FA Cup final on Saturday in a repeat of the 2017 showpiece, and also roughly a year on from their Europa League final showdown in Baku. Wembley will play host to the 139th final in the competition, but who will secure the prize this time is anyone's guess. We looked back in the archive with @PayPalUK to revisit @Arsenal & @ChelseaFC's last Final meeting... ⚽️ The same referee ? One super substitution ? A...

Philippe Coutinho: love him or loathe him, it's hard not to feel a little sorry for him. He had plans to leave Liverpool in his dust, but soon found himself overtaken by the Reds on their way to the top of the European football ladder; a sequence of events which has him already dreaming of a return to the club he once felt he had outgrown. The series of decisions he has made in the meantime have resembled something from an elaborate Monty Python sketch. Despite winning league titles with...

Manchester United are back. Well, almost. Things are starting to look a little brighter under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with the Old Trafford faithful more positive having previously been treated to some turgid football from old managers David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho. It's been over seven years since the Red Devils last won the Premier League under legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, but they're creeping closer towards the benchmark the Scot set during his time in Manchester. But...

West Ham remain interested in signing Barcelona's Moussa Wagué this summer, with one report stating he is close to a move away from Camp Nou. The Senegal international joined the Catalan giants from K.A.S Eupen back in 2018 but has failed to make the grade in La Liga. The 21-year-old was promoted to the first-team under former manager Ernesto Valverde, yet his struggles saw him sent out on loan to Ligue 1 side OGC Nice for the second half of the season. Wague made just five appearances for...

It sounds weird to say there's hope for Arsenal fans after their eighth-placed finish, but...there is? Kinda? A bit? They looked a much more potent attacking side after the mid-season restart, while being much improved at the back. That's about all you can ask from a football team. Here's an evaluation of the Gunners' 2019/20 season (so far), with an overall grade for the report card... League Performance Premier League - Eighth Arsenal started the season under Unai Emery, whose good start...

It has been almost a year since Moise Kean joined Everton, a signing which sparked excitement in the blue half of Merseyside. The second youngest goalscorer in Italian national team history, his time at Juventus placed a lot of expectation on the Italian starlet's shoulders. Eight goals for the Italian champions in 21 games, two goals in two Italy internationals. All as a teenager. His debut season in England didn't go to plan, ending with just two goals in 33 (25 from the bench) appearances...

Leicester City hope to begin talks to sign Fenerbahce striker Vedat Muriqi, as Brendan Rodgers looks to bolster his squad ahead of next season. The Kosovo international joined the Turkish giants last summer and scored 15 league goals this season as his side finished a disappointing fifth in the Super Lig. The 26-year-old has previously been linked with a move to the Premier League following impressive performances in Turkey, and came to wider attention when he scored against England European...

Let's face it, Italian clubs are usually skint. No matter who they are, what they've won and who they're owned by, they love a deal that doesn't involve a fixed transfer fee (or better, a swap deal disguised as an unrelated purchase and sale that puts money on the books, see: Arthur/Pjanic). With Daniel Levy equally as keen to keep the budget tight where possible at Spurs, a deal between themselves and Inter could either be a match made in heaven. Or a complete disaster. With Antonio Conte's...
