From Championship mid-table no man's land and a brief spell in England's third division to one of the Premier League's most threatening new sides, Wolves fans have enjoyed a complete turnaround of fortunes since finding new ownership. Chinese conglomerate Fosun International completed a £45m takeover of the club in July 2016 and wasted no time in transforming their new investment into a well-oiled business that operates on ever-improving results on the football pitch. An immediate changing of...

Forgotten Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has extended his loan spell at Roma until the end of the campaign, with an agreement in place to remain in Serie A next season too. The 31-year-old was shipped off to the Stadio Olimpico at the beginning of the 2019/20 season after failing to make the desired impact at Arsenal, making up one half of the ill-fated swap deal that took Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United. The Armenian hasn't featured as often as he'd like in Rome, but has still made...

Five wins from five since their return. Title rivals in turmoil. Things are looking good for Zinedine Zidane and Real Madrid right now. Their hard-fought 1-0 win over Espanyol on Sunday - thanks to Karim Benzema's Guti-esque brilliance to tee up Casemiro for the winner - meant Los Blancos took full advantage of Barcelona's slip-up at Celta Vigo the previous day. Karim Benzema's moment of magic for Casemiro's winner at Espanyol on Sunday The weekend's victory means they currently sit two points...

For all the talk about the plethora of young talent on show at Chelsea, it's been the performance of arguably their most experienced player that has really helped to set the tone this season - Cesar Azpilicueta. One such young starlet who's burst onto the scene this season is Reece James, yet it has been the Spaniard who Frank Lampard has put most of his trust in this season. It was telling on Sunday afternoon that Chelsea didn't kick into gear until the half-time arrival of their captain - in...

Year The 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, which was due to be held in Cameroon in January and February next year, has been postponed and is now expected to be played in January and February 2022 instead. It means clubs sides who would have been at risk of losing key players midway through next season can now breathe a sigh of relief for another 12 months as the 2020/21 campaign won’t be affected. Liverpool would have lost Sadio Mane & Mohamed Salah next season Liverpool stood to be among the...

Bayern Munich have agreed a deal with Manchester City for winger Leroy Sané, with the German international expected to complete a move worth up to €60m in the next 24 hours. Sane was destined to make the switch to Bavaria last summer after being underused by Pep Guardiola in Manchester City's title-winning 2018/19 campaign, but the ACL tear he sustained in the Community Shield victory over Liverpool last August thwarted the move. Sane tore his ACL in City's Community Shield victory over...

While the summer transfer window has been pushed back as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, this hasn't stopped them good ol' transfer stories from doing the rounds. Just days after playing in his side's final 2019/20 Bundesliga game of the season, Wout Weghorst of Wolfsburg has been linked with a move to England.

With speculation linking Manchester City and Kalidou Koulibaly continuing to do the media rounds, there's a real possibility that Napoli's best defender could finally be ready to take the next step in his career. While there may be tears in the streets of Naples if he does leave, Koulibaly is likely to command a healthy transfer fee - something that may benefit Gli Azzurri in the long run, despite the obvious weakening of their backline.

So, Liverpool are Premier League champions. It feels a little weird to type that, but it's been a long time coming. Some even thought the title race was over in December after their 4-0 win against Leicester, and it would have been wrapped up sooner if not for the global pandemic. After that wearisome Merseyside derby, Liverpool pulled their socks back up and jumped right back into their conventional groove. An emphatic 4-0 win over Crystal Palace pushed them to the finish line, before...

La Masia graduate Marc Jurado has confirmed his departure from Barcelona ahead of a move to Manchester United this summer. Jurado will join the Red Devils on a free transfer after running down his contract at Barça. ESPN revealed back in May that the 16-year-old had rebuffed several offers to stay in Catalonia in favour of a switch to United. Barcelona offered Jurado a three-year deal that would've been worth €100,000 annually by the end of the contract, with a €200,000 bonus included when he...

'That's football.' After a typically Gallic shrug, that was what Karim Benzema offered as an explanation for his audacious - deep breath - no-look, backheel, nutmeg assist as Real Madrid limped to a 1-0 win at Espanyol. In an otherwise unremarkable contest, Benzema's spark of ingenuity lit up a rather lacklustre performance from the visitors. No-look backheel nutmeg assist.

Chelsea bound Timo Werner has suggested that several top European clubs were chasing his signature before he opted to make the switch to Stamford Bridge. The German rounded off his four-year spell at RB Leipzig with a match-winning brace at Augsburg on Saturday, taking his Bundesliga goalscoring tally up to 28 for the season as Die Roten Bullen finished 16 points behind champions Bayern Munich in third. Werner's final goal in Leipzig goals was a well-taken match-winner against Augsburg at the...

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is expected to stay at Old Trafford beyond this season - and is now considered to be happy at the club. Pogba has been heavily linked with a transfer away from United, primarily to Real Madrid, for more than the past year. Speculation about a possible exit was only worsened by his lengthy injury absence from September to March, barring a brief December comeback, and criticism of the player from national press reached new levels. Pogba is back in action...

When considering the ability of a wide player, football fans will usually look towards a player's goal contribution statistics. Take Jadon Sancho for example, one of the most exciting and talented forwards in world football right now, with his 20 goals and 20 assists this season seeing him linked with a £100m+ move elsewhere. But it shouldn't always be about the statistics. Dwight McNeil has been a regular for Burnley A winger can still be instrumental to a side while not having the best...

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has admitted he's keen for the Newcastle takeover process to 'conclude shortly' despite complications.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has warned his squad that he will not hesitate to replace any of them if they fail to improve on this season's inconsistent form.
