China-based winger Acheampong believes in Akonnor's Ghana Afcon-winning capacity 

A last-minute own goal by Francesco Vicari rescued a dramatic point AC Milan on Wednesday night, as the Rossoneri came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 against SPAL. Goals from Mattia Valoti and Sergio Floccari had SPAL two up within half an hour, but Marco D'Alessandro's sending off was the catalyst for a Milan fightback - albeit a limp one - to earn a share of the spoils. Rafael Leao was the man to get Milan back into the game with just over ten minutes remaining, before Vicari's own...

Follow live: Messi, Argentina face Dutch in quarterfinal showdown

Bayern Munich's David Alaba is on Manchester City's shopping list, as the club plot a substantial rebuild in the summer. Pep Guardiola's side's title defence was as good as over by November as Liverpool cruised to the Premier League crown and, having lost a selection of first-team regulars, a major overhaul is on the cards in the transfer window. Vincent Kompany departed at the end of the 2018/19 season, with David Silva poised to follow suit this summer. Leroy Sane is on the cusp of joining...

La Masia coach ‘can’t imagine a Barcelona without’ Messi but will respect big contract call

Chelsea don't score enough goals. Their 58 big chances missed is second only to Manchester City's 67 in the Premier League, while their tally of 532 shots is the second-highest in the league as well. To address that, Frank Lampard has already signed Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech - two of Europe's best when it comes to scoring and creating goals respectively. There's even talk of a blockbuster move for Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz, which would, of course, be amazing. He's one of the best young...

Transfer Talk: Kane hopes Tottenham listen to offers to transfer him

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has claimed that he wouldn’t swap Giovani Lo Celso for Bruno Fernandes, who Spurs came close to signing before Lo Celso arrived last summer. Lo Celso was a deadline day acquisition for Spurs on loan from Real Betis in August, and has since made the £27m permanent switch to north London. Fernandes, meanwhile, came to the Premier League in January when Manchester United finally agreed a deal with Sporting CP. Spurs were close to signing Bruno Fernandes...

'The heart of Italians!' - Bonucci thrilled after 'dominating' Belgium en route to Euro 2020 semi-final

Newell's Old Boys vice president Cristian D'Amico has reiterated that Lionel Messi would be more than welcome to return to the club where he began his career. Messi was part of the Newell's youth system before moving to Barcelona as a 13-year-old. Although he never played a senior game for the Argentinian side, it has often been suggested that Messi will one day return to the club for his final years. In 2019/20 however, Barcelona all but surrendered the league title as they drew 2-2 with...

Henderson: Liverpool can be a lot better, individuals will get stronger

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has warned Matteo Guendouzi he must alter his behaviour if he is to force his way back into the side. Guendouzi grabbed Neal Maupay around the neck following Arsenal's 2-1 defeat to Brighton and, although he faced no further action from the FA, he has not featured for the Gunners since. The midfielder has been left out of the Arsenal squad for their subsequent victories over Southampton, Sheffield United and most recently Norwich on Wednesday evening. Guendouzi...

Luis Suárez Linked With Shock Leicester Move Amid Barcelona Exit Talk

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has claimed that striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is open to signing a new contract at the Emirates Stadium. The Gabon international's current deal expires at the end of next season, but there have been huge doubts over whether he will extend. Aubameyang has proven himself as one of the world's top strikers, but the Gunners currently find themselves well behind in the race for Champions League qualification. ?? ??????? ?????? ????? ??? ??????? 1️⃣ @Aubameyang7 -...

Lionel Messi and Paul Pogba headline new Pepsi MAX advert for Champions League return

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has bemoaned his side's inability to take yet another chance to climb higher in the Premier League table following Wednesday's 3-2 loss to West Ham United. A victory would have seen the Blues move into third place, ahead of Leicester City after their 2-1 defeat to Everton, but defensive errors and inconsistent finishing allowed Andriy Yarmolenko to fire home an 89th-minute winner and snatch all three points for the Hammers. Full-time. 3-2 to West Ham.#WHUCHE...

Kick Off: Big W's for SKC, SEA, DC | Revs invade RSL | Altidore set for op

Chelsea have not messed about. Wanting to make up for lost time (y'know, that transfer ban stuff) they've dipped their golden fingers into the market twice already with the big-money additions of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner. Around 83 million pounds sterling worth, to be slightly more specific. With those additions, the key question to emerge is just how Frank Lampard is going to squeeze them into his starting lineup without heavily disrupting the status quo. ? "So when do Ziyech and Werner...

Fantasy Football Matchday 3 lessons: Midfielders

Win West Ham stunned Chelsea in the Premier League on Wednesday night after coming from a goal down to secure a stunning 3-2 win that significantly boosts their survival hopes. A first 35 minutes passed by without much incident until Tomas Soucek bundled home from a scrappy corner. Sadly for the home side, VAR cut their celebrations short after a lengthy check harshly ruled Antonio to have been offside despite not obviously interfering with play. Salt was rubbed into the wound just moments...

Omollo: Why Akumu, Muguna and Owino should start for Kenya against Comoros

Win Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang starred as Arsenal picked up all three points in a dominant 4-0 win over Daniel Farke's Norwich on Wednesday evening to move up to seventh in the Premier League. Both sides came close to an opener early on, with Aubameyang forcing a save from Tim Krul before Canaries centre back Ben Godfrey hit the woodwork from over 30 yards out. Arsenal soon opened the scoring as Krul calamitously gave the ball away to Aubameyang, with the Gabon international slotting into an...

Spain teen Gavi youngest WC scorer since Pele

After being the name on everyone's lips in the summer of 2017, Andrea Belotti's big money move to the Premier League never materialised and he's since become somewhat of a forgotten man. Since his stellar 28 goal season for Torino in the 2016/1, however, things have gone slowly downhill for the club. Belotti was rewarded with permanent captaincy for his loyalty to Torino ahead of the following campaign, but that loyalty has since seen his chance of a big move fade away, while his club now face...

'This year has not been the best' - FIFA Best winner Bronze setting high standards for Team GB at Olympics 2020

I know it feels like a lifetime ago, but close your eyes and try to remember just how good Alexis Sanchez used to be. The Chilean star was a ball of energy, industry and determination, with a spark and talent that could simply win matches on its own. The winger grew into his Arsenal career, posting the best numbers in his final full season with the club. That was 24 league goals and five assists, if you were wondering. Those statistics deserve extra credit when you consider just how average...

Gambia's Kanteh scores for Sporting Huelva against Real Sociedad

Everton continued their fine form since the restart as they picked up all three points against Leicester - although they were made to work for it. The Toffees came into the game having not lost since play got back underway, while they were also yet to concede a goal. While they weren't able to keep another clean sheet, they did pick up the win to move level on points with Sheffield United. FT.

Transfer Talk: City star Bernardo Silva set to snub Barca, PSG

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.

Wolves boss told VAR missed 'blatant' Onana foul

Very few would have predicted that Bruno Fernandes would have had this much of a positive impact on Manchester United so soon after joining. Last summer, the Portuguese midfielder was persistently linked with a number of clubs, most notably United - but a move didn't materialised. Indeed, one of last summer's longest-running transfer sagas was set to drag on until the next window. That was until Sporting CP announced in November of 2019 that he had put pen to paper on a new contract. It...
