Arsenal may have just announced that one of their academy stars has committed his long-term future to the club, but it's not all rosy in regards to Folarin Balogun. The young goal machine has, as of yet, failed to agree to an extension on his existing deal, with the likely outcome being that he will depart in the summer as he enters the final 12 months of his current contract.

ter City It's been four years to the day since that turn. Four years since the moment Hal Robson-Kanu allowed a nation of three million to dream, and to start believing that they might just be about to put themselves on the footballing map. Their dreams came true. Sam Vokes' incredible glancing header confirmed 1 July 2016 was to be known as the most famous day in Welsh footballing history, as they conquered second-in-the-world Belgium in the quarter finals of Euro 2016, at their first...

tics Given the utter failure of England's 'Golden Generation', the distaste for Harry Kane among English fans rather bizarre. They have a genuinely world class forward in our ranks, and yet they choose to mock and deride him. And not for good reasons, either. He's slaughtered for saying he scored a goal that he may or may not have scored, winning the Golden Boot at the World Cup, and not passing to Raheem Sterling (worth noting: a still image or slow-motion video doesn't tell the full story)....

Former Manchester United goalkeeping coach Eric Steele, who played a monumental role in David de Gea joining the club in 2011, has backed the under fire Spaniard to return to his former best and potentially even stay at Old Trafford for another 10 years. De Gea has experienced a dip in form over the last couple of seasons, resulting in a number of high profile errors. The most recent of those came against Tottenham in the first game of the Premier League restart, although a flying save against...

Juventus have made contact with the representatives of Valencia's Ferran Torres, with one source claiming that talks are at an 'intensive stage' ahead of a proposed summer move to Turin. With six goals and seven assists in all competitions this season, Torres has been the standout star for Los Ches, but his form has been unable to prevent them embarking on a run of just two wins in 13 matches - resulting in Albert Celades recently being sacked as manager.

Real Madrid have essentially been told to look elsewhere in the transfer market by French side Rennes, with the club's sporting director insisting €80m would not be enough to sign coveted starlet Eduardo Camavinga. The 17-year-old has caught the eye in Ligue 1 this season, dazzling in the centre of the park. Camavinga had made 25 league appearances for Rennes this year until the campaign was brought to a premature end by the coronavirus outbreak. Camavinga in action for Rennes this season But...

Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that he is hopeful that Everton can start challenging for the Premier League title 'soon'. When he's not forgetting long-serving players in his squad, the Italian is working hard to turn around the Toffees' fortunes and to date has recorded six wins and four draws from his first 14 matches in the hotseat. Learning from the best. pic.twitter.com/GNfEEWFc6n — Everton (@Everton) June 29, 2020 Those results have put Everton into a position to compete for European...

Ross Barkley is perhaps the most frustrating Premier League player to watch. When he's good, he's really very good. When he's poor, he's...well, really very poor. Time after time, the midfielder follows up a performance full of vigour and energy with one where you forget he's even on the pitch. It's slightly baffling that at 26 and with that talent he undeniably possesses, Barkley is yet to make a significant impact in the Premier League. Ross Barkley ?

At midnight on Tuesday night, just moments after Barcelona had suffered yet another frustrating draw - this time at home to Atletico Madrid - the contract of 33-year-old Arda Turan finally expired. Such is the madness of this season - as pointed out on Twitter by Spanish football writer Euan McTear - Turan could've come on in the match and seen his contract expire while playing had time run over. Only, he isn't actually registered to play. The 100-cap Turkey international hasn't played a...

Arsenal's contract dealings have come under a great deal of scrutiny of late - and quite rightly as well. Extending the high earning David Luiz's deal, days after he put in one of the worst Premier League performances of all time against Manchester City was difficult to defend, even for the most optimistic advocates of the unpredictable Brazilian. Arsenal's last minute defeat to Brighton will have frustrated Gunners fans Similarly, gifting Cedric Soares a four-year contract when the Portuguese...

With the 2019/20 season set to run deep into summer as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, players whose deals were due to expire on 30 June have now either penned short-term extensions, agreed deals to move to new clubs, or left as free agents. Here's a look at nine of the most high-profile stars now on the lookout for new clubs after becoming free agents as of 1 July. Edinson Cavani Cavani was clinical at PSG Where else could we start? Joining Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2013,...

Arsenal have released a statement defending their position in the William Saliba saga after being accused by Saint-Etienne of imposing ‘absolutely unacceptable sports and financial conditions’ in failed talks over temporarily extending the 19-year-old’s loan. Saliba joined Arsenal from Saint-Etienne last summer but immediately returned to the French side on loan for the duration of the 2019/20 campaign. The loan formally expired on 30 June, but despite an initial willingness to extend it to...

Manchester City are set to find out whether or not their two-year European ban will be upheld on 13 July, after they appealed the decision last month. UEFA confirmed in February that City had been banned from all UEFA competitions for the next two seasons as a result of Financial Fair Play (FFP) breaches, while the Sky Blues were also fined €30m (£25m) for misleading UEFA. City will have to try to convince players to stay should the ban not be overturned In early June, the Court of Arbitration...

Arsenal striker Vivianne Miedema has been named FWA Women’s Footballer of the Year, making the Dutch goalscorer the first overseas winner since the women’s award was created in 2017/18. Miedema had stiff competition to win the FWA prize by a single vote from Chelsea striker Bethany England, who was tied with the Arsenal star atop the WSL scoring charts when the season was put on hold – and is also a league champion as a result of Chelsea being awarded the title on points per game. ?...

The 2020/21 season looks destined to be a great year for football shirt enthusiasts across the world. We may have only had a handful of efforts released across Europe so far but Inter's home jersey, Ajax's away strip and both of Marseille shirts are all absolutely scrumptious. Not to be outdone by the Nerazzurri's crazy zig zags, Dortmund have dropped an equally outrageous lightning bolt-inspired number. How shocking! Get it? ⚠️ HIGH VOLTAGE: BU⚡️⚡️ WITH BVB pic.twitter.com/fPZNyoTQvU —...

Mason Greenwood has begun to make the right wing position at Manchester United his own, with another breathtaking display against Brighton on Tuesday night. The 18-year-old's ability to work half a yard of space for himself is crucial, while his overall maturity and professionalism for a player so young has been clear for all to see this season. Greenwood is ruthless in front of goal Greenwood showed once again on Tuesday why he is considered one of the very best young talents in world...

After a bizarre season of VAR nonsense and a global pandemic, we finally know Manchester City will not be winning their third Premier League title in a row. Pep Guardiola's side have not been the juggernaut they were over the past two seasons, leaving them out of reach of Jurgen Klopp's irrepressible Liverpool. On Thursday, they will begrudgingly give their successors a guard of honour when they walk out onto the pitch at the Etihad Stadium. Congratulations to @LFC on winning the Premier...

ion Wigan Athletic have confirmed that the club has gone into administration, leaving the Latics in danger of receiving a hefty points deduction. The Championship side are in the midst of a gripping relegation battle, but they have been the form team in the second division since the turn of the year, and with six games to play, they find themselves eight points above the drop zone.

Tottenham Hotspur are highly interested in signing Lazio star Sergej Milinković-Savić this summer, and could make a deal work financially through multiple sales, according to a report from France. The Serbian international has continued to impress for I Biancocelesti, and has been crucial to their title challenge this season. An imposing player physically, he's also talented with the ball, racking up five goals and four assists in the league this season. According to French outlet Foot...

Poor old Jadon Sancho, eh? Fresh off the back of another majestic Bundesliga campaign with Borussia Dortmund, the England international was readying himself for an unprecedented transfer window in which he was the name on the tip of everybody's tongues. Jadon Sancho is also set to depart the Bundesliga this summer However, some German fella barely 60 kilometres south of Dortmund in Leverkusen is set to steal the limelight. Kai Havertz's resurgence in the Rückrunde's and the ease at which he...
