Man Utd agree £40m fee to sign Van de Beek from Ajax

After 30 years of hurt, Liverpool fans finally saw the reality of the image that some had been dreaming of for decades. Manchester City's 2-1 defeat at Chelsea at the end of June confirmed the Reds as Premier League champions for the first time and although their stuttering form post-title confirmation meant they weren't able to break the Citizens' 100-point single-season record, there's no doubting Jurgen Klopp's ruthless machine will go down as one of the finest outfits in memory. Following...

It's 11 April 2017 and Juventus are lining up against Barcelona for their leg at home in the Champions League quarter finals.

Frank Lampard Tells Liverpool Not to Be 'Too Arrogant' After Premier League Title Victory

Jürgen Klopp's side got their hands on the trophy after the game, and while that will dominate the headlines, the match also featured a fiery confrontation between the two managers after Liverpool scored their second, with Lampard looking particularly frustrated towards...

Mourinho congratulates Arteta for 'tough match' as Tottenham beat Arsenal in derby

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has revealed that midfielder Paul Pogba apologised to the rest of his teammates for giving away a penalty in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with West Ham. Pogba raised his arms towards his face to stop himself from being hit by an incoming shot, but the ball ricocheted off his hand and forced the referee to award a penalty, from which Michail Antonio stepped up to leave United facing a final-day playoff against Leicester City to seal Champions League football....

PSL wrap: Baroka go third with Chippa United win, Stellenbosch grab late victory away at TS Galaxy

Southampton had been holding out for £35m, but Carlo Ancelotti's side have had a £25m bid for Højbjerg accepted, with Spurs' own offer sitting at closer to the £15m mark. Everton have already had a bid accepted for Hojbjerg On paper, it's not looking good for Spurs, but The Guardian state that...

Twitter Reacts to Liverpool 5-3 Chelsea Thriller Before Premier League Champions Lift Trophy

So, a nice solid win for Liverpool against Chelsea was all that was needed in the penultimate game of the season for Jurgen Klopp's side. But thankfully for the viewers - unless you were caught up in Wednesday's Championship drama, which was also excellent - the two sides put on an entertaining spectacle, full of awesome goals and daft defensive play. There was also some trophy lofting to be seen, if you hadn't heard. That was eventful ?#LIVCHE pic.twitter.com/0vXEFeKjRs — Premier League...

'No one believed it' - Mbappe hails PSG's medical staff for helping with extraordinary injury recovery

As a set of supporters of certain teams within the parameters of one collective sport, we do love criticising. Whether that is in reference to our own clubs or those of others, it's almost impossible not to pick holes and point fingers at others. It's practically in our nature. Have Arsenal been woeful on course to their worst top flight finish in 25 years? You bet. Has Chelsea's defence been very poor despite them hovering around the top four place for most of the season? Indeed, that too....

Bayern Munich 8-0 Schalke: Player Ratings as Bayern Dominate on Bundesliga Opening Day

Hands up if you know Alex Iwobi's best position. Anyone? None of Arsene Wenger, Unai Emery or Marco Silva could figure it out either. Throughout his professional career, Iwobi has been used on the left, the right and through the middle. That could be seen as versatility, but in Iwobi’s situation, it is most likely due to a limited number of great performances in any given position. Iwobi left Arsenal for a princely sum Since Carlo Ancelotti joined Everton in December, the Nigeria international...

America's Clasico dominance over Chivas down to 'no fear'

West Ham have shown an interest in bringing Atalanta defender Robin Gosens to the club this summer, but could face a battle with other clubs for his signature. Gosens - who plays as a left back - has scored an impressive ten goals in all competition this season and assisted a further eight, which has understandably put his name on the lips of a number of clubs. Gosens' attacking qualities have proven enticing for some Premier League clubs The Irons are one of the clubs said to be interested in...

Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Haaland lined up as Barca's Messi successor

Despite the obvious financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic on clubs, Paris Saint-Germain were still able to make Mauro Icardi's loan move permanent in May for around £45m. Indeed, Les Parisiens' financial muscle and ability in the transfer market has been well-documented. But what perhaps goes often unnoticed as a result of their casual £200m investments is their youth academy. In a team that contains Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Icardi, Angel Di Maria...the list goes on, why would people take...

Santos demands use of VAR after Ronaldo goal ruled out in Portugal's draw with Serbia

oint Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw with West Ham on Wednesday night, as the visitors left with a well deserved point to mathematically confirm their place in next season's Premier League. A first half dominated by United, but one where they failed to properly test Lukas Fabianski, would go West Ham's way in comical fashion. Paul Pogba - for fear of his life - inexplicably handballed in the box when the ball was struck towards him from 20 yards, with Michail Antonio tucking the spot...

Otieno: Former Gor Mahia midfielder joins new team Union Omaha FC

Mason Greenwood's start against West Ham was his 50th appearance for Manchester United at senior level. While that might not sound all that outlandish on the surface, it's an incredible stat when you consider he only turned 18 in October. Making his debut as a late substitute in United's Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in March 2019, it's been a never-ending dream for both himself and United fans ever since. His strike versus West Ham was his 17th for the season in all...

La Liga title race chaos as Atleti drop more points

So, it's happened: Leeds United are a Premier League team once more. But without boring you with the 'back where they belong' speech, the raw truth is that you only belong there if you're good enough. As it stands they've been well stocked enough to get back to the promise land, but their chances are slimmer than Patrick Bamford's calves if they hope to remain there with the squad they have. Marcelo Bielsa has worked wonders this season with the tools at his disposal, utilising youth and...
