Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has publicly backed beleaguered manager Quique Setién, insisting that he is 'happy with the evolution' of the team. Former Real Betis boss Setién was the surprise replacement for previous incumbent Ernesto Valverde, who was axed by the Catalan giants at the start of 2020 despite Barcelona being top of La Liga. The 61-year-old had been linked with the role a year before when Valverde's position was first put under the microscope, but he was forced to...

Spurs' staggeringly forgettable 1-0 win against a limp Everton side will not go down in the club's folklore. However, the drab affair earned itself a footnote in the weighty tome of José Mourinho's achievements, as the three points saw the Portuguese join a select group of Premier League managers with 200 wins to their name. 200 - Tottenham boss José Mourinho has become the fifth manager to reach 200 Premier League victories, with only Sir Alex Ferguson (322) doing so in fewer games than the...

Manchester United are awaiting news on whether centre-back Victor Lindelof will be fit enough to return to the starting XI for Thursday night’s Premier League clash with Aston Villa. The Swede’s availability for the game at Villa Park is currently unclear after he was substituted at half-time during the recent 5-2 win over Bournemouth as a result of a back problem. Lindelof has been a regular starter next to Harry Maguire in 2019/20 Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said after the game, which was...

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele is ‘still determined to leave’ the club this summer following a breakdown in his relationship with manager Jose Mourinho, despite chairman Daniel Levy trying to convince him otherwise. Spurs shattered their transfer record to sign Ndombele from Lyon last summer in a deal worth up to around £64.5m after add-ons. But the Frenchman has struggled to make the desired impact and has only featured sparingly since Mourinho replaced Mauricio Pochettino in...

A 20 Kiyan Prince was a talented young footballer on the books at QPR, an 'old fashioned number nine' with an infectious personality and a bright future in the game. On 18 May 2006, he was stabbed to death by a fellow pupil outside the gates of his school in north London. Kiyan had been trying to break up a fight and was just 15 years old. "I didn't know that emotional pain could show up physically," Kiyan's Dad, Dr Mark Prince OBE told 90min. "I just cried like a big baby everyday. Torn apart,...

Its been an eventful, intriguing campaign in the Bundesliga this season, with this summer's fixtures garnering extra attention from around the world thanks to Germany's speedy resumption of football. Bayern Munich were crowned champions for the eighth consecutive season, continuing their relentless reign of domestic terror. Dusseldorf and Paderborn were relegated into the second tier, while Werder Bremen edged to safety in the dreaded relegation playoff scrap with Heidenheim on Monday night....

Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette could be on his way out of the Emirates this summer, with Juventus and Atletico Madrid both making initial contact with the striker regarding a move, while Inter are also keen. The Frenchman has struggled to hold down his place in the Gunners side in 2019/20, particularly in more recent times. In fact, in his side's last eight Premier League games, Lacazette has started just twice. However, he did come off the bench last time out against Wolves to net a...

Borussia Dortmund have handed Manchester United a deadline if they wish to complete the signing of England winger Jadon Sancho this summer, a player the Old Trafford club have been targeting for many months. Sancho is arguably Europe’s brightest young star and, despite only turning 20 in March, finished the 2019/20 season with 40 combined goals and assists in 44 appearances across all competitions. Sancho got 40 goals & assists for Dortmund in 2019/20 United have lacked a real specialist...

Ralf Rangnick has agreed what is understood to be a three-year deal with Milan to become the club's new manager from the start of the 2020/21 season, while he will also discuss the possibility of becoming their sporting director. Stefano Pioli took over Milan back in October of 2019 and while his side have shown a significant improvement in more recent times, the Rossoneri still sit in seventh place in the table. In fact, Pioli's men have won three out of their last four games, most recently...

Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz does not want to wait a year for a blockbuster move away from the club, handing Chelsea a huge boost in their pursuit of the German. Frank Lampard is understood to be keen on making Havertz his next blockbuster signing of the summer, with the 21-year-old expected to cost close to the £90m mark. Havertz is high on Chelsea's wish list Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are both keen on landing Havertz as well, but that enormous price tag has proven to be a real...

Chelsea have unveiled their new away kit for the 2020/21 season, which will be on show when the Blues meet Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Tuesday evening. The new home kit was debuted earlier this month but has brought mixed fortunes to the Blues, who fell 3-2 to West Ham before bouncing back with a 3-0 win over Watford. Introducing our new @nikefootball 20/21 away kit. Inspired by a classic tailored aesthetic but filtered through a modern street lens and colour palette. Available 30.07.20...

Chelsea are considering offering centre-back Fikayo Tomori to West Ham United on loan next season to aid their pursuit of the Hammers' Declan Rice. 21-year-old Rice, who came through Chelsea's academy ranks before being released at 14, has blossomed into an England international during his time with West Ham and has attracted interest from some top sides as a result of his performances in both midfield and defence. Declan Rice is on Frank Lampard's wish list this summer Frank Lampard's...

Škriniar Manchester United are expected to butt heads with cross-town rivals Manchester City in their pursuit of a new centre-back, as both sides have Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly and Inter's Milan Škriniar on their wish lists. United are keen to continue their upwards momentum by strengthening in defence, but they will likely have to fend off City, who are desperate to bolster at the back after a hugely disappointing campaign which has seen Pep Guardiola lose more league games than he ever has...

lash Despite the men in the dugout boasting a full five Champions League titles between them, Jose Mourinho's Tottenham versus Carlo Ancelotti's Everton offered very little to get excited about. Fortunately, a spicy, little subplot unfolded as everyone's favourite ball of smiling enthusiasm Son Heung-Min and 33-year-old captain of his national team Hugo Lloris almost went full 2005 Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer. On the cusp of half time, Son half-heartedly tracked back after losing possession,...

Sideshow Tottenham moved up to eighth in the Premier League with a drab 1-0 victory over Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday evening. In a game lacking any real quality or intensity, proceedings were settled by Michael Keane's scrappy own goal, as the Everton defender inadvertently directed Giovanni Lo Celso's strike past a wrong footed Jordan Pickford. Richarlison fired wide for the visitors on the stroke of half time in Everton's best opportunity of the game, triggering a...

News While it may sound extreme to suggest Liverpool will be attempting to stop the rot on Wednesday night when they travel to Brighton given their champions status, that is exactly what they’ll be attempting to do. At least the away from home rot anyway. While Jurgen Klopp’s men have romped home with ease this campaign securing their 19th top-flight title in impressive style, their recent record outside of Anfield may be of some concern to the German. Four losses and a draw in the Reds' last...

In recent years, there's been numerous examples highlighting how Arsenal have sought to copy, or even take from Leicester City's overperformance. There was the attempted move in 2016 to bring over newly minted Premier League winner Jamie Vardy for £22m, which the striker turned down, fearing he would be played out of position, against his natural strengths. And then only months ago, the Foxes' manager Brendan Rodgers was forced to publicly rule out any interest in taking over at the Emirates,...

News Aston Villa host Manchester United on Thursday night with both sides in need of three points for very different reasons. Villa have endured a torrid return to league football following the three-month break - picking up just two points from a possible 15. Their poor form has seen their winless run stretch to nine Premier League games, and with just five games remaining they find themselves stuck in the bottom three. United have been in fine form since the arrival of Fernandes in January...

Fair "With his speed he could be a very good 100 metres runner, another Usain Bolt," Schalke 04 U19 manager Norbert Elgert. "Meep meep meep meep' the Bayern roadrunner comes ahead and steals the ball!" Thomas Müller. Two separate quotes, with two slightly different ways of getting their point across, about two different players. But the same attribute as a theme in both - speed which almost no-one else playing football is capable of matching - about two footballers in Leroy Sané and Alphonso...
