It's the summer of 2017, and Alexis Sánchez becomes the hottest available player on the transfer market when he announces that he wants to leave Arsenal. Six months later, he has his pick of elite clubs chasing his signature, with both Manchester sides in hot pursuit of the Chilean. Having flirted with the idea of reuniting with former manager Pep Guardiola, he ultimately opts for the Red Devils (and a basic wage of close to £400k a week) with the deal seeing Henrikh Mkhitaryan heading in the...

On 26 June 2019, David Silva announced he'd be leaving Manchester City at the end of the current season, bringing an end to a decade spent at the Etihad. Silva arrived at the Etihad back in 2010 - joining a very different team to the one he will leave - and has enjoyed ten years of sheer excellence during his time in Manchester, winning four Premier Leagues among other trophies. The attacking midfielder has been a hugely influential figure in City's greatest-ever football team and his exit...

"I am a central midfielder, my favourite player is Frank Lampard, and so I am very happy to be a Chelsea player," remarked Mario Pasalic as he penned a long term deal with Chelsea back in 2014. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Pasalic has never played with or under Lampard since that day. In fact he can't even say he set a competitive foot on the turf at Stamford Bridge. A familiar tale perhaps. Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku will tell you that success at Chelsea i, historically, a lottery, often...

Wolves kept their hopes of European football alive with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace at Molineux in the Premier League on Monday evening. In an assured performance, Wolves settled proceedings with two moments of sheer attacking brilliance either side of half time. Daniel Podence applied the finishing touches to a slick move five minutes before the break, heading Matt Doherty's cushioned cross into an empty net, after the fullback was picked out by a sumptuous Joao Moutinho pass. That pass...

France Football have announced that there will be no Ballon d'Or award ceremony in 2020, owing to the exceptional circumstances and 'lack of sufficient fair conditions.' The award ceremony had been due to take place as normal in December, where the best players in the men's and women's game over the previous 12 months would be presented with the prestigious Ballon d'Or and Ballon d'Or Féminin awards.

Juventus edged closer to their ninth (NINTH) successive Serie A title with a 2-0 victory over Lazio at the Allianz Stadium on Monday evening. Two record-setting Cristiano Ronaldo goals in the space of three second-half minutes proved decisive, leaving the Old Lady requiring just five points from their final four games to be crowned champions of Italy once more. Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first player to score 50+ goals in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A! ?...

Remember when it seemed like Cristiano Ronaldo was slowing down? Nope. Not happening. The 35-year-old scored a double on Monday night as Juventus' 2-1 win over Lazio inched them closer to sealing a ninth straight Scudetto, putting the Old Lady eight points clear with four games to go. Ronaldo opening wide to consume more records... The Old Lady's old man was at the centre of attention once again, bagging his 29th and 30th goals of the Serie A season and drawing level with Ciro Immobile in the...

It wasn't long ago that it seems as though Rúben Semedo had the world at his feet. The Portuguese centre-back had broken through as Sporting CP and earned a high-profile move to Villarreal. The world was his oyster. That was in 2017, but just three years later, he can no longer find a major team to take him on and he has just been hit with a five-year suspended prison sentence for attempted murder. What? Semedo in action for Olympiacos To get to grips with the whole story, you have to look...

Manchester United have been busy in this summer's WSL transfer window, as they attempt to bridge the gap between themselves and the top three ahead of their second season in the top flight. Casey Stoney's side finished as the 'best of the rest' during their maiden season in the WSL, but were 13 points behind third-placed Arsenal. The signs that Stoney is building a side to challenge at the summit of the WSL have been clearer than ever this summer, with a number of players who helped United to...

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has an unenviable goalkeeping conundrum on his plate that desperately needs solving ahead of next season. He has two potentially top class goalkeepers at his disposal. One is enduring a worrying dip in form that has stretched back, on and off, for now more than two years. The other is an up and coming talent who may not be quite ready for what United would expect of him. Does Solskjaer stick with David de Gea? Or does he make a change and put...

The Premier League has been home to some real giants of the game. Be it all 2.03m of Costel Pantilimon scraping the top of the crossbar, Nikola Zigic, who scored just two headed goals during his Premier League career despite crashing in at 2.02m, or Peter 'good feet for a big man' Crouch; the English top flight has been blessed with a selection of gangly frames down the years. Pantilimon, Zigic, and Crouch have all moved on to pastures new - the Cypriot First Division, the Championship and...

thic Manchester United full-back Brandon Williams personifies the importance of hard work when it comes to making the breakthrough to first-team football, with the 19-year-old having made over 30 appearances in his debut season at first-team level. Williams, who first travelled with the senior squad to Paris last season for that Champions League clash, was only 18 when the season began and had only just been permanently promoted to the club’s Under-23 team. But an opportunity came his way in an...

Newcastle United are considering a summer move for Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt, as they look to strengthen the left hand side of their defence with a permanent signing. The Magpies have largely been reliant on loanee Danny Rose, who has missed just three games for the club since arriving in January, but the Englishman is, as it stands, set to return to Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season. There is plenty of uncertainty concerning Danny Rose's long-term future With Matt...

We’re often told that the Championship is the most unpredictable league in the world, but this season it has surpassed itself. Every one of the teams in England’s second tier has played 45 games, with Wednesday’s round of fixtures bringing down the curtain on another frantic campaign. Usually by this stage of the season there’s only a handful of teams nervously waiting to find out which league they’ll be playing in next season, but this year absolutely everything is up for grabs. 45 down, one...

Coveted striker Victor Osimhen, previously linked with a move to the Premier League, looks set to join Napoli from Lille after passing a medical at the weekend. Both Liverpool and Manchester United had been linked with the 21-year-old Nigeria international, but it seems there are few remaining hurdles for Napoli in the transfer chase. According to L'Equipe and reported in GetFrenchFootballNews, Osimhen 'declined' late approaches from the two Premier League sides, as he hones in on his desired...

Leicester City striker Islam Slimani is attracting interest from Ligue 1, after an impressive loan spell in France. The 32-year-old had a season-long stint at AS Monaco cut short as the 2019/20 campaign in France was curtailed. However, he impressed with nine goals and seven assists in his 18 league appearances. According to France Football, both Marseille and Lille are interested in making summer moves the forward, while it's also said that Monaco - who previously opted against a permanent...

Manchester City are reported to have made contact with the entourage of Manchester United outcast Alexis Sanchez, in what would be one of the most surprising transfers in recent times. United famously beat neighbours City to the signing of Sanchez in January 2018, with the Citizens not prepared to match the wages - the highest in the Premier League at around £400k a week basic - on offer at Old Trafford. Sanchez arrived at the Red Devils to much fanfare but quickly became a spectacular...

It's been a decade and a half of floundering, disappointing and underwhelming, but thanks to Marcelo Bielsa and his merry men, Leeds United are finally back in the Premier League. 16 years is an embarrassing amount of time for a club with the stature and historical significance of Leeds to spend outside of the top flight, but now they're back in the big-time, the title of English football's biggest underachiever must be reassigned. Luckily for us, there are plenty of contenders. 10....
