While Arsenal have pulled out all the stops to tie down the likes of Cedric Soares and Pablo Mari to long-term deals as well as offering a new contract to David Luiz, Burnley haven't been quite as active. Premier League clubs were given until 23 June to get players whose deals are due to expire at the end of June to sign short-term contracts until the end of the 2019/20 season. One player who will be a free agent come July is Joe Hart, with Burnley now confirming on their official website that...

PSG sporting director Leonardo is keen to launch an ambitious bid to sign Real Madrid starlet Takefusa Kubo this summer. The 19-year-old Japanese international moved to Madrid last summer from FC Tokyo, but was immediately sent out on loan to Real Mallorca prior to the 2019/20 season. Kubo takes on Real Betis players AS are reporting that Leonardo has been dazzled by the Japanese's natural talents and is looking to make a move for the youngster. However, Real Madrid are adamant that Kubo wants...

The season has long been over for Manchester City - even before football's three-month hiatus - but that doesn't mean they're taking their foot off the pedal, as evidenced by their 5-0 victory over Burnley on Monday. Indeed, Pep Guardiola's side have scored eight goals and conceded zero in their first two games back, despite no longer competing for the league and the fact that they might not even be playing Champions League football next season. They face a trip to west London on Thursday,...

Tottenham are interested in re-signing Marcus Edwards - with Manchester United also keen - from Vitória Guimarães, a report in Portugal has claimed. Edwards only left Spurs in September last year after failing to come to terms on a new contract in north London. Marcus Edwards in action against Arsenal in this season's Europa League But a swift return to England could be on the cards, if reports abroad are to be believed. Portuguese outlet Record (via Sports Witness) claim Edwards has attracted...

News Following back to back defeats to Manchester City and Brighton, Arsenal make another trip to the south coast on Thursday for their next Premier League game against Southampton. A tempestuous affair saw the Gunners beaten 2-1 by the Seagulls at the AMEX, leaving their hopes of European qualification in tatters. Conversely, Southampton won on their return to action, beating Norwich 3-0 at Carrow Road. Another victory in midweek for the Saints would see them go level on points with Arsenal....

Laugh it up. If you haven't already, then you're the only one who hasn't; including Arsenal fans. Although in the case of the Gunners' supporters, they were not chuckles of joy, more like mild hysterics to mask the pain. Did the club actually just announce that? Were the decisions that were made genuinely done by the people in charge of running the club? It would appear so. Yes, on Wednesday morning it was confirmed that four new deals were agreed for members of the Arsenal squad: David Luiz,...

News The Premier League fixture fun rolls on this Thursday - yes, Thursday - when Burnley take on Watford at Turf Moor. Both sides are yet to really get back into the swing of things after three months on the sidelines, each having taken to the field just once. Watford rescued a point late-on against Leicester. Burnley's return was a rather miserable one, as Manchester City inflicted more Etihad Stadium misery on Sean Dyche's side with a thumping 5-0 win. Watford, meanwhile, did their best to...

Arsenal could look to make a move for Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, with boss Mikel Arteta viewing him as a 'reliable' option to replace the injured Bernd Leno. Leno sustained a horrific injury during the Gunners' dramatic 2-1 defeat to Brighton on Saturday, after the goalkeeper collided with Seagulls forward Neal Maupay. However, Arsenal provided a very positive injury update on the player, confirming that they can expect to see him back in training in four to six weeks. It's...

Arsenal legend Jens Lehmann has entered the race to become the new coach of Dundee United, and he is being strongly considered for the role by the Scottish club. The Terrors announced the departure of previous boss Robbie Neilson on Sunday evening, who, having successfully led his former side to promotion back to the Scottish Premier League this season, opted to then join newly-relegated Hearts in what was a surprise move. Lehmann is keen to get into the managerial game And with Dundee United...

"I am sick and tired of people talking about Europe, it’s about what’s happening in the present." So, going off the above, it might be best not to ask Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder about Champions League qualification. After all, nobody took that line of questioning to him before the season had started. If anything, the questions would have centred around whether Wilder believed the Blades could stay in the Premier League, given they went back down to the second tier on the previous...

Jurgen Klopp has recalled his first defeat as Liverpool manager, revealing he felt lonely as fans at Anfield left early during a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace in 2015. The backing from the club's supporters has grown year on year since the former Borussia Dortmund boss replaced Brendan Rodgers, though the memory of one game against Liverpool's opponents on Wednesday night still lingers with Klopp. The Premier League leaders will play their first competitive home fixture in more than three...

Since Lionel Messi's first senior goal, he's won 10 La Liga titles, six Copa del Reys, four Champions Leagues and six Ballons d'Or. He's played at four World Cups and scored 70 goals for his country. He's grown from a prospect on the fringes of the Barcelona first-team squad into one of the best players the world has ever seen. So, how do your last 15 years stack up to that? It's been a whirlwind decade and a half for the man many say is the greatest ever, and here is a handful of the goals...

Everyone, stop what you're doing and look at Serie A! Okay, so perhaps a large chunk of the United Kingdom will have their eyes fixed on Liverpool's date with destiny against Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening, and the whole of Spain will be watching with interest as Real Madrid attempt to regain top spot in La Liga. Alejandro Gomez celebrates in Atalanta's victory over Sassuolo But over in Italy, something magical is unfolding and on Wednesday night, we should all be bracing ourselves for...

Frank Lampard has denied that Chelsea have submitted a bid for Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz. Chelsea have already secured deals for Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner and there have been reports linking Havertz with a move to west London. The 21-year-old is one of the most in demand players in Europe with Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Real Madrid just some of the other names that have been mentioned as potential destinations. Kai Havertz nodding home recently for Bayer...

As the cameras flash and the array of national flags tied around players' waists billow in the Lisbon air, there is a beaming, round face at the front of celebrations. Yet, instead of grass-stained shorts and socks, Casemiro is cheering on the team in a nifty pair of black suit trousers. The then 22-year-old hadn't made the squad for the 2014 Champions League final and was afforded just a smattering of appearances across the campaign, with the experienced names of Xabi Alonso and Sami Khedira...

Roll up, roll up, get your flops here! Two for one specials on the Premier League's most expensive disasters! I wonder if West Ham United supporters are getting much sleep at the moment. If they are, you could probably here hushed mumblings of 'null and void, null and void' from their bedrooms, as they dream of happier days - days when they didn't have to watch the Hammers murder the beautiful game. Since football's return, it's been nothing short of a disaster for David Moyes' side. Clashes...

With Marcus Rashford joining up with Roc Nation Sports, we take a look at the other footballers who have also signed.

It's easy to forget sometimes, but like us mere mortals, all professional footballers had idols in the past, who they worshipped and whose actions they reenacted on muddy fields as starry-eyed children. For the current generation of stars, the usual suspects of David Beckham, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Zinedine Zidane are often cited as inspirations... But perhaps not for hipsters like Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese midfielder is a wonderfully-gifted playmaker and given his style of play and...

Two questions started popping up a lot on social media timelines and groupchats on Tuesday afternoon. What the hell are Barcelona doing? And...why? In case you missed it, they're selling Arthur – one of their brighter talents – to Juventus for about €80m. Arthur Melo, a good footballer. A good footballer who Barcelona are trying to force out of the door because they're skint. Sorry, that should read: they're 'selling' Arthur to Juventus for 'about €80m'. Because in reality they're swapping him...
