Players leave clubs in search of silverware all the time. It's totally normal. However, for Arsenal, it's turned into a bit of a curse. The Gunners have been on a steady decline for a good (or bad) few years now, and they have seen plenty of their top stars jump ship to go and win trophies elsewhere, all while Arsenal have been restricted to the odd FA Cup. Arsenal fans don't really like talking about it, but there's no denying that there have been a whole lot of former players who have gone...

With Saturday's 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo in Galicia, Barcelona handed rivals Real Madrid the advantage in the race for the La Liga title. Quique Setien's side took the lead twice, though agonisingly settled for a draw in the dying embers of the match. With two stalemates in three games, an apparent lack of killer instinct has handed the advantage to Los Blancos, who now hold a two-point advantage over their famed rivals. Barça face their toughest test since the restart as they host an...

José Mourinho's famously ruthless approach to management has earned him no shortage of trophies over his career, guiding him to league titles with four different clubs, and European titles with three. The downside, however, is that it has also seen him drop a few clangers on the transfer front. Has he dropped so many clangers that you can pick an entire Mourinho clanger starting XI? Well... 1. GK - Petr Cech Cech is the most high-profile goalkeeper let go by Mourinho OK so actually they're not...

Manchester United are in a good place right now, arguably a better place than they have been in at any point since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. Saturday evening marked a 14th game without defeat as the team booked a place in the FA Cup semi-finals for only the third time since 2011. But this remains a work very much in progress and the positive steps made in recent months are still relatively early in the process. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must choose his starting XI carefully United deserve credit...

The FA Cup quarter finals took place over the weekend, with Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City booking their place in the last four at the expense of Norwich, Sheffield United Leicester and Newcastle. It was victory all round for the visitors as United recorded a 2-1 victory at Norwich and Arsenal beat Sheffield United by the same scoreline, while Chelsea won 1-0 at Leicester and City secured a 2-0 win over Newcastle. So what did we learn from the FA Cup quarter finals?...

In football there are two main reasons why transfer policy goes badly. The first involves knowing what you want, but not having the means to get it, and often settling for less. This is a pretty simple dilemma that all but about seven of Europe's top teams will be familiar with - a case in point would be Spurs wanting Sergio Agüero in 2012, but through lack of means ending up with a 32-year-old Louis Saha. Ok, that was a rather extreme example. Most clubs have certain constraints to work...

Sheffield United will keep goalkeeper Dean Henderson on loan for the remainder of the delayed 2019/20 after reaching an agreement with parent club Manchester United. Henderson’s initial loan at Bramall Lane was due to expire this week, which ordinarily would have been well after the end of the campaign. But the unique circumstances this season has thrown up ensured that a special temporary extension needed to be agreed. Henderson has enjoyed a strong season with Sheffield Utd There were no...

Nike have dropped the new, futuristic-looking Flight ball which promises a 'measurable' 30% truer flight compared to its predecessors. The striking, almost brain-like appearance of the ball - which will feature in the Premier League, La Liga and beyond for the 2020/21 season - has been eight years in the making, with thousands of lab hours, testing from over 800 professional athletes, 68 geometrical iterations and even one robotic leg going into to the process at the Nike Innovation Lab.

News Norwich's seemingly doomed struggle to avoid Premier League relegation continues on Wednesday when the Canaries head to the Emirates to take on an Arsenal side still trying to find their feet under new boss Mikel Arteta. The Gunners lost two games upon their return action, but victories against Southampton and Sheffield United in the league and FA Cup respectively have helped the Gunners muster up some good form heading into the final stretch of the season. Norwich's Premier League future...

News With Barcelona on the verge of disintegration both on and off the field, there perhaps couldn't be a worse time to take on a rejuvenated Atlético Madrid in La Liga. In Catalonia, things have not been ideal since the restart. The most recent setback? An 88th minute equaliser from Celta Vigo's Iago Aspas, which left Quique Setien's men two points adrift Real Madrid, after they narrowly overcame Espanyol. We were fated to pretend. To pretend. — Gerard Piqué (@3gerardpique) June 27, 2020...

News Frank Lampard's high-flying Chelsea head to the London Stadium on Wednesday night to take on relegation battlers West Ham in the Premier League. The Hammers are seeking their first league win since the restart and desperately need three points in their bid for survival. Three straight losses have seen David Moyes' side plummet down to 17th, only avoiding the drop zone on goal difference. Ross Barkley scored the winner against Leicester On the contrary, Chelsea will be heading into...

Manchester are reported to be looking to Burnley to replace the departing Leroy Sané, with Dwight McNeil shortlisted as a potential summer signing. Pep Guardiola confirmed last week that Sané has rejected the offer of a new contract at the Etihad, and though he refused to concede that he will leave this summer, the chances of City allowing him to run down his contract and depart for free in 12 months appear slim. The Germany international set the club back close to £50m in 2016, and though he...

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that academy graduate Angel Gomes, who made his first-team debut at the age of just 16 in May 2017, looks likely to leave the club when his contract expires this week. Gomes is out of contract on 30 June and the club have not managed to reach an agreement with the 19-year-old about extending his stay at Old Trafford. Gomes has played 10 first-team games in 3 years “Got no news, nothing, so doesn't look like [he will stay],” Solskjaer...

Watford manager Nigel Pearson opted not to publicly criticise Andre Gray, Nathaniel Chalobah or Domingos Quina, after the trio were dropped from his squad after attending a party over the weekend. Videos posted by Gray on Twitter and Instagram - which have since been deleted - appeared to show the three players at a lively get-together on the weekend of Gray's 29th birthday. Mass gatherings are still banned as part of England's lockdown restrictions, and after the trio were criticised for...

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino, who remains out of work, has become an ambitious target for Portuguese giants Benfica. Pochettino was sacked by Spurs in November following a poor run of form that had begun the previous season, although it was still only six months after the Argentine had guided the club to its first ever Champions League final. Pochettino was sacked by Spurs in November It is thought that the agreement as part of Pochettino’s dismissal entitling Spurs to...

Who'd have thought that being out of Cristiano Ronaldo's shadow would be so fun? Real Madrid hitman Karim Benzema is loving every second of being his side's talisman, after taking some time to grow into it last season. He has already bagged 22 goals in all competitions and added his tenth assist of the season with a sumptuous backheel pass for Casemiro against Espanyol. Just a casual backheel assist from Benzema, no big deal! ? Casemiro finishes and Madrid lead just before half time ⚪...

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has penned an open letter to the people of Liverpool dedicating the Reds' Premier League title victory to them.

Soon-to-be Chelsea striker Timo Werner has confessed that he chose to give up the chance to finish the Champions League with RB Leipzig because it 'didn't feel right' to remain in Germany after he becomes a Chelsea player. With the Champions League set to spill over into August, many transfers will only be finalised once that competition comes to a close, so it came as a surprise to see Werner refuse to play on with Leipzig to seal a move to Stamford Bridge as soon as possible. Werner was...
