Kepa Arrizabalaga claims his tag as the most expensive goalkeeper ever has had no effect on his Chelsea performances, adding that he doesn't see it as a burden. The Blues’ number one has come in for criticism since his £71m move to Stamford Bridge in 2018, with backup goalkeeper Willy Caballero occasionally given the nod ahead of him. The 25-year-old Spaniard's attitude was called into question last season after he refused to be substituted in the League Cup final, leading to a standoff with...

nale Hold your horses, folks! German football hasn't finished quite yet. Although the title was all but wrapped up, as a result of Joshua Kimmich's genius with seven matchdays remaining, the race for Champions League places and relegation dogfight between Fortuna Dusseldorf and Werder Bremen meant the recent conclusion to the 2019/20 Bundesliga campaign was an enthralling one. And now we've got a DFB-Pokal final to enjoy. Bayern celebrating their eighth consecutive Meisterschale Germany's...

Chelsea have already begun assembling a frightening squad for the defence of their WSL title. Having remained unbeaten all season as they were narrowly crowned champions of England via points-per-game, Chelsea have already recruited former Bayern Munich captain Melanie Leupolz and exciting young winger Niamh Charles as they prepare to do it all over again next season. A gauntlet has been thrown down by Emma Hayes' side, but Manchester City have demonstrated that they are more than up for the...

It’s exactly 13 years ago to the day since Liverpool fans’ love affair with Fernando Torres began. Sadly, the love affair had somewhat of a sour ending, as El Nino did the unthinkable and swapped Anfield for Stamford Bridge (though the move saw the Merseysiders fund a move for Andy Carroll - what more could you want?!). Despite the tainted end, Torres’ time in a Liverpool shirt was a truly memorable period and is one that will go down in Premier League history. With his signature look of...

Barcelona boss Quique Setien has insisted there are no problems with Antoine Griezmann, despite reports suggesting that the forward is considering his future at the club. Griezmann has been afforded just 10 minutes of action in Barça's last two games, including a 60 second cameo against former club Atletico Madrid. It's been a frustrating debut season for Antoine Griezmann It is the latest blow in what has been a frustrating debut season for the 29-year-old. The player's agent supposedly...

lues Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has outlined the mentality he expects from his squad, as uncertainty continues to reign supreme over the futures of Mesut Ozil and Matteo Guendouzi. Ozil has not featured since the Premier League restarted, apparently due to a back injury. Guendouzi, meanwhile, has been omitted since he grabbed Neal Maupay by the throat following the Gunners' last gasp defeat to Brighton last month. Matteo Guendouzi has not played since this scuffle with Neal Maupay Arteta...

Not long ago, it was looking a near certainty that Willian's time at Chelsea was coming to an end. After seven years at the club, it appeared as though the pair were unable to agree a new contract, with his current deal having expired on 30 June (although he has signed a short-term extension to keep him in west London until the completion of the current campaign). Indeed, his comments in February weren't so much as a hint, but rather a very open remark about his future. The 31-year-old...

News Tottenham will be looking to rid themselves of a woeful showing at Bramall Lane on Thursday evening as they host a confident Everton side on Monday night. There was a sense of injustice to the Lilywhites going into the half-time break at Sheffield United 1-0 down, but a monstrosity of a defensive display in the second period overshadowed any previous VAR/handball law misdemeanours. Spurs had a potential equaliser ruled out due to Lucas Moura's 'handball' in the build up The 3-1 defeat all...

For all the exciting young talent that's emerging at Arsenal, the sheer lack of quality at the heart of the Gunners' midfield is - unbelievably - still a problem for the club. Ever since those lofty days of Patrick Vieira, Arsenal have been crying out for an imposing and dominant midfielder to drag them back up the table and challenging, really challenging, for the Premier League title. For too long have Gunners fans sat back and watched as the likes of Mathieu Flamini and Granit Xhaka have...

mphs Real Madrid's players and coaching staff will not receive any bonuses even if they win La Liga and/or the Champions League this season - with this agreement being reached as part of the decision to reduce salaries. The financial impacts of the coronavirus pandemic have been well-documented in recent weeks and months, and it has been no different for Real Madrid. The club confirmed in April that players and coaches had agreed to wage cuts of around 10%. This would have risen to 20% had the...

As youngsters, we all wanted to score the goals. Mind you, not everyone was cut out to do it, and eventually you'd just be happy to play. But there was always one position that, regardless of your own role, was always one we truly admired: the attacking midfielder. It was them who offered something nobody else in the team could. Tasked with providing the creativity in the final third, laying on that killer pass and drifting in between the lines, there was always an element on envy at just how...

Deal Tottenham have rejected a surprise swap deal offer from Juventus, involving midfielder Tanguy Ndombele and former Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey. With the financial constraints placed on clubs as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, players trading places could become all the range this summer.

Juventus have had their...

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has refused to rule out the Blues further strengthening their attacking options this summer. The west Londoners have already drafted in Ajax's Hakim Ziyech and RB Leipzig star Timo Werner in deals worth up to a combined £86m. Timo Werner officially joined Chelsea alongside Hakim Ziyech on July 1 However, Chelsea have been heavily linked with Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz and are understood to be a potential destination for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - if the Gabonese...

Nobody could quite believe it when news broke that Carlo Ancelotti had agreed to become Everton manager back in December 2019, not least Everton fans themselves. It was the greatest early Christmas present that Toffees fans could have possibly wished for, and it was topped off when he led the side to a Boxing Day victory in his first game. The Italian has been responsible for an upturn in fortunes at Goodison Park since his appointment, but there is no doubt still lots of work to be done if...
