d Up All good things must come to an end, or so the old saying goes. And after enjoying a successful period of being Italy's best challenger to the mighty Juventus, it appears that Napoli are heading for a summer of major change - with many of their stars likely to depart when the transfer window opens up. It's been a strange season for Gli Azzurri, who parted ways with Carlo Ancelotti back in December and have had a disappointing league season by their standards. And despite their recent Coppa...

The first big chance of the came fell to Marcus Rashford, whose close-range volley needed a good save from Hugo Lloris. Just minutes later, it was Spurs who went ahead through Steven Bergwijn's outstanding individual run (and some questionable goalkeeping from David de Gea), but the goalkeeper redeemed himself soon after with an excellent...

Atlético Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak needed just 182 La Liga games to reach 100 clean sheets, reaching the milestone 40 games faster than previous record holder Miguel Reina in the 1970s.

If you're a fan of Everton, you've likely recently asked yourself: 'who is Kim Min-jae?'. And if you're not an Everton fan, you've likely read the title of this and asked yourself: 'who is Kim Min-jae?'

Ringing any bells yet? No? Well fear not, because in the...

There is a certain stigma attached to footballers plying their trade north of the border. Immediately there is an assumption that no matter how well they're performing, how many clean sheets they've kept or regardless of how many goals they've notched, we have to be reminded 'that it's just the Scottish Premiership'. All the players performing well in Scotland come with an unjust caveat. They're good over there, but probably won't be here. While unjust, it's not necessarily untrue. There is no...

There were plenty of doubts about the post-Cristiano Ronaldo Real Madrid. After the Portuguese icon's move to Juventus in 2018 Real were, simply put, not very good. The Champions League elimination at the hands of Ajax last season was embarrassing, and ending the La Liga campaign 19 points behind Barcelona was inexcusable. There were some real holes in this team which needed filling. However, amid all the despair and uncertainty, one man stood up and commanded the role of Real's talisman -...

Him David Luiz's future at Arsenal has been heavily speculated on over the past few weeks, with talk of a Benfica return mooted, but the situation has taken another turn over some astronomical demands. There is an optional clause in his Arsenal contract to extend his stay in north London for a further 12 months - having initially signed for just one season - but with no decision made as of yet, it remains to be seen whether the Brazilian's short stay with the Gunners will continue. ? "They are...

It was always going to be a difficult task for Manchester United to replace departing goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel in 1999, but when they finally found their replacement, he was well worth the wait. When the Great Dane left United for pastures new after completing that iconic treble in 1999, Sir Alex Ferguson really struggled to find the man to take over in the sticks as number one. French World Cup winner Fabien Barthez never quite settled, a young Tim Howard seemed too green for the role, and...

A major issue for any foreign-born player hoping to gain eligibility to play for England one day is the Home Nations’ Agreement that the FA first entered into with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in 1993. It has evolved over the years with minor updates, but the underlying rule is that foreign-born players with no ties to England cannot become naturalised and play. Foreign-born players with an English-born parent are eligible, as was the case with Owen Hargreaves, who had only ever lived...
