Well, we thought we'd never get here but here we are. The Premier League is drawing to a close. The trophy has been handed out, last place has been decided but there's still a little left to play for on the final day. This season has seen many an emerging young player make their mark in style but the category that continues to quietly deliver is that of the over 30's. So, let's give the golden oldies the credit they deserve by naming our over 30's Premier League XI of the season. 1. Kasper...

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti is expected to depart Camp Nou this summer, with Serie A hinted as his next challenge. Recurring knee issues somewhat thwarted Umtiti's 2019/20 campaign as he made a mere 13 La Liga appearances, while the Frenchman made just one start following Spanish football's restart last month. Umtiti endured a tough afternoon in his sole start since the restart at Celta Vigo With Barcelona not exactly keen to keep a highly-paid, third-choice centre half on their books,...

Everton have already had a bid accepted for Hojbjerg On paper, it's not looking good for Spurs, but The Guardian state that...

Mourinho congratulates Arteta for 'tough match' as Tottenham beat Arsenal in derby

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has revealed that midfielder Paul Pogba apologised to the rest of his teammates for giving away a penalty in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with West Ham.

'No one believed it' - Mbappe hails PSG's medical staff for helping with extraordinary injury recovery

As a set of supporters of certain teams within the parameters of one collective sport, we do love criticising. Whether that is in reference to our own clubs or those of others, it's almost impossible not to pick holes and point fingers at others. It's practically in our nature. Have Arsenal been woeful on course to their worst top flight finish in 25 years? You bet. Has Chelsea's defence been very poor despite them hovering around the top four place for most of the season? Indeed, that too....

Otieno: Former Gor Mahia midfielder joins new team Union Omaha FC

Mason Greenwood's start against West Ham was his 50th appearance for Manchester United at senior level. While that might not sound all that outlandish on the surface, it's an incredible stat when you consider he only turned 18 in October. Making his debut as a late substitute in United's Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in March 2019, it's been a never-ending dream for both himself and United fans ever since. His strike versus West Ham was his 17th for the season in all...

Who gets the honour of becoming the cover star for the latest instalment of EA SPORTS' FIFA series is always a hot topic. It's an iconic role offered to a world-class talent, so naturally Kylian Mbappe is the man to take up the mantle this year. Smashing countless records before turning 22, as well as lifting a plethora of trophies including the 2018 World Cup, have catapulted the Frenchman into a new footballing stratosphere, with his inclusion on the cover of FIFA 21 adding to his accolades....

Santos demands use of VAR after Ronaldo goal ruled out in Portugal's draw with Serbia

oint Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw with West Ham on Wednesday night, as the visitors left with a well deserved point to mathematically confirm their place in next season's Premier League. A first half dominated by United, but one where they failed to properly test Lukas Fabianski, would go West Ham's way in comical fashion. Paul Pogba - for fear of his life - inexplicably handballed in the box when the ball was struck towards him from 20 yards, with Michail Antonio tucking the spot...

Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Haaland lined up as Barca's Messi successor

Despite the obvious financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic on clubs, Paris Saint-Germain were still able to make Mauro Icardi's loan move permanent in May for around £45m. Indeed, Les Parisiens' financial muscle and ability in the transfer market has been well-documented. But what perhaps goes often unnoticed as a result of their casual £200m investments is their youth academy. In a team that contains Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Icardi, Angel Di Maria...the list goes on, why would people take...

America's Clasico dominance over Chivas down to 'no fear'

West Ham have shown an interest in bringing Atalanta defender Robin Gosens to the club this summer, but could face a battle with other clubs for his signature. Gosens - who plays as a left back - has scored an impressive ten goals in all competition this season and assisted a further eight, which has understandably put his name on the lips of a number of clubs. Gosens' attacking qualities have proven enticing for some Premier League clubs The Irons are one of the clubs said to be interested in...

Bayern Munich 8-0 Schalke: Player Ratings as Bayern Dominate on Bundesliga Opening Day

Hands up if you know Alex Iwobi's best position. Anyone? None of Arsene Wenger, Unai Emery or Marco Silva could figure it out either. Throughout his professional career, Iwobi has been used on the left, the right and through the middle. That could be seen as versatility, but in Iwobi’s situation, it is most likely due to a limited number of great performances in any given position. Iwobi left Arsenal for a princely sum Since Carlo Ancelotti joined Everton in December, the Nigeria international...

Vicente del Bosque Has 'No Doubt' That Xavi Will Become Barcelona Coach

Legendary former Spain and Real Madrid manager Vicente del Bosque has given his backing to Xavi Hernandez to be a success as head coach at Barcelona, whenever his time comes. Xavi has long been tipped for a return to Camp Nou - where he spent almost all of his playing career - and was a leading candidate to succeed Ernesto Valverde in January. However, it is reported that the four-time Champions League winner, who is currently in charge of Qatari side Al Sadd, turned down the role due to a...
