Bayern Munich Linked With Surprise Move for West Ham's Tomas Soucek

If there's one thing in football that isn't up for debate, it's that Jack Grealish is magic. And by magic, I'm not just alluding to his precocity as a creative force on the pitch by means of some well-worn footballing cliché speak - his feats of sorcery have far surpassed that. For starters, he's lifted the curse that the English media cast on any young domestic talent who dares to step a foot out of line while still maturing. Grealish was crucial in Aston Villa's run to the 2015 FA Cup Final...

Mumbai City 1-1 Jamshedpur: Ten Men of Steel hold the Islanders

eira Manchester United are prepared to sell utility midfielder Andreas Pereira this summer, with a new report claiming Everton, West Ham and Newcastle are keen. The Red Devils are thought to have a number of high profile transfer targets in their sights, and will need to ensure that they're able to fund moves with the disposal of fringe players. Pereira - despite signing a new four-year deal last summer - is thought to be one of the peripheral players that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may look to axe,...

How the Latest Coronavirus Restrictions Now Affect Premier League Fans

La Liga is back, and if not for the lack of spectators and dodgy broadcast-purpose synthetic crowd noise, you'd be forgiven for thinking it had never been gone. We've had seven games so far, and already we've seen a fiery Seville derby, seen Espanyol pick up a key win to drag Deportivo Alaves back into the mire, and we've seen Lionel Messi at his majestic best. Quick bit of housekeeping before we nosedive into the best of what is to come - bare in mind that the fluctuating broadcasting...

Gavi & Ronald Araujo reject latest Barcelona contract offers

When the Premier League returns next week, fans will not be allowed into stadiums to cheer their fans on. It's going to make for very strange viewing for supporters at home (as we've already seen in Germany and Spain), but players will find it even tougher. Playing at home is always seen as an advantage, but for some sides it matters more than others. Supporters give them the extra boost they need to push on to victory, but some teams will be left searching for that extra impact elsewhere....

Cesar Azpilicueta refuses to discuss Chelsea future

Barcelona will reportedly debut their new 2020/21 home kit in next month's Derbi Barceloní with Espanyol, as new leaks have emerged showing how the kit will look. Quique Setién's side resumed their season with a 4-0 victory over Mallorca on Saturday evening, hoping to kick-start some momentum to drive them towards another La Liga title. With the season unexpectedly running well into the summer, kit launches can take on a trivial feel - but they remain critically important for marketing and...

Aston Villa vs Sheffield United Preview: How to Watch on TV, Live Stream, Kick Off Time & Team News

ews The Premier League is finally back after a three-month hiatus, with Aston Villa's hosting of surprise package Sheffield United one of two opening night offerings.

Lionel Messi's Most Rascal Looks Throughout His Career - Ranked

Countless times throughout his 16-year career Lionel Messi has proved that he's simply not human. All those who are blessed with La Liga TV or determined to grind through 90 minutes of scrawny pixelation on a dodgy stream witnessed yet another example on Saturday night. In Barcelona's 4-0 victory over Mallorca, the GOAT churned out a display that shouldn't have been possible following a lengthy three-month lay-off. Bagging a pair of assists and a late right-footed strike, the Argentine's...

Luis Suarez Holds Talks With Inter Miami as Barcelona Exit Edges Closer

Kepa Arrizabalaga is under a lot of pressure. Not only does the weight of being Chelsea's starting goalkeeper come with a lot of expectation but being the world's most expensive shot stopper automatically leaves people expecting you to be... well, the best in the world. For Kepa, that pressure has been too much to handle this season. His performances have generally been nowhere near good enough, and that's got people suggesting that the Spaniard's time at Stamford Bridge could be up already....

Electoral Board kicks off County FKF nominations, verification exercise

Under normal circumstances, Edinson Cavani would not have been short of options upon leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer. However, in the summer of coronavirus - where even Europe's biggest clubs are looking to do their transfer business on a shoestring - the Uruguayan's agent will never have had an easier gig. You can only imagine the strain on his inbox and voicemail as the summer approaches. He might be 33 years old and coming off the back of a difficult 2019/20 season which saw him net...

Frank Lampard Has Asked Thiago Silva to Become Chelsea Club Captain

Athletic Club 1-1 Atletico Madrid: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Rojiblancos Lose Ground on La Liga's Top Four

Four Atletico Madrid missed the chance to move into fourth spot in La Liga on Sunday, after being held to 1-1 draw with Athletic on their return to action. Yannick Carrasco came closest to breaking the deadlock at an empty San Mames, but his low effort squirmed just wide of the post to spare Unai Simon's blushes after a bizarre slip in goal. Jan Oblak may not have played in a while, but he showed no signs of rustiness with a flying save after 32 minutes. However, he was powerless to prevent...
