Arsenal complete £540k Rekik signing

ndow Barcelona have reassured Antoine Griezmann that he will not be sold in the summer, while a move for Neymar is also unlikely for the Catalan giants. Griezmann's future has been the subject of scrutiny after a difficult first season in Catalonia, exacerbated by a lack of playing time since La Liga returned last month. Prior to his side's victory against Villarreal on Sunday the forward had made just three starts from six games. Griezmann celebrates with Lionel Messi during Barcelona's 4-1...

How Chelsea are trying to land the best domestic youth talent post-Brexit

News Inter can move to within a point of second-placed Lazio if they can return to winning ways when they face eighth-placed Hellas Verona at the Marc'Antonio Bentegodi on Thursday night. Antonio Conte's side fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Bologna last time out, just four days after beating Brescia 6-0 - their biggest win of the season. Il Biscione's Champions League place is effectively secured, though - while their Scudetto chances appear to be over - so they'll be looking to finish...

Swallows duo Gamildien, Truter claim PSL December/January awards

‘Smith Rowe all over the place like Ozil never was’ – Potential of Arsenal youngster excites Wright

On 9 February, Milan took a shock 2-0 lead into the half-time break over bitter rivals Inter, but ultimately came up short, shipping four second half goals and collapsing in gut-wrenching fashion.

This time however, they showed enormous spirit and quality to rumble the champions of Italy, claiming a precious 4-2 victory. It was a telling demonstration of just how far this group of...

Jurgen Klopp confirms Trent Alexander-Arnold has suffered from coronavirus

Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has been tipped to seek compensation from the club in the form of an improved contract to make up for lucrative bonuses that will be lost if a two-year ban from all UEFA competitions is upheld by CAS next week. City have appealed against UEFA’s decision to suspend them from the Champions League over Financial Fair Play breaches and will soon learn their fate following a CAS hearing last month. Man City could be banned from UEFA competitions until 2022...

Rapinoe, Lloyd, Pugh headline U.S. camp calls

many We've all experienced that one moment in our lives, where something horrific is unfolding before our eyes, and there's nothing we can do but gawp and watch on, completely powerless over the terror that is befalling us. Sometimes, it's an antique vase falling off a table you've accidentally knocked while celebrating a last-minute goal (sorry mum), or it can even be totally unrelated to football. But in Brazil's case, there is only one period in time that they look back on as their darkest...

Mikel Arteta Hints at Permanent Deal for Dani Ceballos After Impressive Leicester Performance

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hinted at the possible permanent signing of on-loan midfielder Dani Ceballos, suggesting negotiations with Real Madrid could already be ongoing.

But more recently under Arteta, the Spaniard has begun to thrive. Ceballos has become a regular Arsenal starter He was impressive again...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer dismisses idea of replicating Pep Guardiola's tactics

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that midfielder Adam Lallana, a player he called ‘one of the most important’ of his time in charge at Anfield, will probably not play for the Reds again in order to protect a summer transfer to his next club. Leicester are favourites to sign him. Lallana was due to be out of contract at the end of June. But even though he signed a temporary extension to cover the remainder of the campaign, the former Southampton star will not play in the remaining...

Iheanacho: Leicester City had hunger to win against Brighton and Hove Albion

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has been linked with a move to Juventus and a reunion with former coach Maurizio Sarri that could help the Stamford Bridge club fund an approach for Bayer Leverkusen forward Kai Havertz and others. Chelsea have already spent the best part of £90m ahead of next season to secure deals for Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner. The club has also raised additional funds through sales since last summer, but the ongoing squad rebuild is far from complete and other positions are...

Transfer Talk: Beckham's Miami plan move to sign PSG's Messi

Siro A dramatic second half collapse from Juventus allowed Milan to come back from two goals down to seal a stunning 4-2 win at San Siro. There was little to note during the first-half, with Zlatan Ibrahimović's disallowed goal for offside the only bit of action worth jotting down on the notepad. Adrien Rabiot is mobbed after scoring his first Juventus goal. Moments after the restart, Juventus hit the front through Adrien Rabiot's first goal for the club before Cristiano Ronaldo steered home...

January brings big test of Leicester's Champions League credentials - but they have what it takes

Remember the heady days of 2005? Jose Mourinho was new and shiny, Arsenal scored 87 league goals in a season, Bolton finished level on points (58) with Liverpool and Manchester City missed out on Europe on the last day. David James remembers it well – especially that last part, playing a central and completely unexpected role in it when he was moved out from between the sticks (Nicky Weaver took over) and stuck up front. The FA Cup winning goalkeeper remembers every moment well, blowing out...

Crystal Palace 2-3 Chelsea: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Visitors Hold Off Spirited Eagles

gles Chelsea squeezed past an impressive Crystal Palace side at Selhurst Park on Tuesday evening, as a 3-2 victory thrust them up to third in the Premier League table. The Eagles were mightily unfortunate to find themselves a goal down in the opening stages as Willian made the most of Gary Cahill's hamstring pull to tee up Olivier Giroud who swept home. Christian Pulisic then continued his fine run of form with an emphatic left-footed drive which simply had too much venom for Vicente Guaita at...

How Quique Setien May Have Found the Barcelona Formula He's Been Looking for

As Barcelona made the three-hour bus journey along the Spanish west coast to the Estadio de la Cerámica on Sunday night, it was understandable why so many believed this was the night the dramatic La Liga title race would all but draw to an anti-climatic close. This was an out of sorts Barça side fresh off back-to-back 2-2 draws against Celta Vigo and Atletico Madrid and one that had just seen title rivals Real Madrid squeeze past Athletic Club to open up a seven-point chasm at the top....

Casemiro Calls Gareth Bale as a 'Top Five' Player in the World

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is to target two new strikers in the summer if the club qualifies for next season's Champions League. The Foxes are flying high in the Premier League this season - predominantly thanks to Jamie Vardy's league-high 21 goals - and despite a recent blip in form, are favourites to secure a position at Europe's top table. Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho are Leicester's two recognised strikers. But despite Kelechi Iheanacho netting in his last two games for...

'On schedule amid a pandemic' - AIFF Masters Programme kicks off with a few tweaks

Manchester United were lethal in attack last time out as they hammered Bournemouth 5-2. But it wasn't a perfect display. The best managers in the business will be quick to state that no performance is ever 'perfect', but United's defence was exposed by a team that had scored just 30 goals in the league coming into Saturday's game. Indeed, only three other teams had scored a fewer amount of goals. But it was the manner of the goals conceded that will be somewhat concerning for Red Devils boss...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hints at debut for Amad Diallo soon

Carlos Tevez is no stranger to transfer sagas, just ask West Ham, Sheffield United, Manchester City or Manchester United fans. He's also 36 years old and, most likely, well past his best. But that hasn't stopped the rumour mill suggesting that an epic move back to the Hammers is on the cards, despite reported interest from MLS and the possibility of signing a new Boca deal. Carlos Tevez surprisingly joined West Ham in 2006. Tevez first arrived at West Ham in 2006 alongside fellow Argentine...
