Liverpool are finally close to tying Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum down to a new long-term contract. Talks over a new deal for Wijnaldum have been rumbling on for what feels like an eternity, and given his current contract expires in 2021, unconvincing rumours of a potential move away have begun to emerge. Wijnaldum's current deal runs until 2021 Inter have been named as potential suitors, but neither Wijnaldum nor Liverpool have contemplated an exit and have both been confident a new...

Well, that happened. It couldn't have been a less enjoyable title coronation for Liverpool on Thursday, as Manchester City showed that there is perhaps not as much between the two sides as the now-20-point margin suggests. The Blues were all over the Reds like a nipping Sunday-morning headache, taking advantage of their uncharacteristic slackness and lethargy to run out 4-0 victors. The newly-crowned champions' level of performance has been heavily criticised (if not by manager Jurgen Klopp),...

lash Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has confirmed neither Fikayo Tomori nor Mateo Kovacic will be fit enough to feature in Saturday's meeting with Watford. The Blues slipped to a humiliating 3-2 defeat at the hands of West Ham last time out, leaving them just two points ahead of Manchester United in the race for fourth place, so Lampard is expected to make a few changes to his team when they face the Hornets. Chelsea fell 3-2 to West Ham last time out Defending proved to be a real problem for...

Manchester United are still keen to press ahead with a move for Jadon Sancho this summer - despite reports they would not offer more than £50m for the player this week - and are prepared to lean on a recently withdrawn loan to help fund the move. The Red Devils are enjoying a resurgence in the Premier League following the arrival of Bruno Fernandes from Sporting CP, but further big-name signings are required to take the club back to the very top of English football. It's common knowledge that...

Lionel Messi has been tipped to leave Barcelona in 2021, the result of mounting problems at Camp Nou. The club’s finances are in a mess, there is criticism of the current board and how the club is run, and things only look like they will get worse before they get better. Messi has often been linked with moves away from Barça at various points in the past, but frustrations at the club’s growing shortcomings lend at least a degree of plausibility to this one. Does he go down with a sinking ship,...

While the disappointment of Euro 2020 being pushed back for another summer is (still) a tough pill to swallow, letting the dust settle on that setback and actually examining the positives makes for good reading as far as England are concerned. With plenty of the squad that played in the 2018 World Cup now considered as the 'old guard', the Three Lions are set to embark on a new era in their history with a fine set of talent emerging that raises the excitement levels heading into the newly...

The Premier League have confirmed that Manchester United and Wolves have two of their stars featuring in the six-man shortlist for June's Player of the Month.

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has reiterated the need for the club to keep hold of their best player - as speculation over the future of captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang mounts. The Gunners have endured another frustrating season both domestically and in Europe, and are likely to miss out on Champions League qualification once more. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been strongly linked with an Arsenal exit. "If you ask me, we cannot be a team that has to sell its best player to try to bring in...

Eintracht Frankfurt have reported West Ham to FIFA after claiming they are owed an overdue payment of £5.4m from the sale of Sebastien Haller last summer. The French striker became the Hammers' record signing when he joined for £45m from the German side, with the Irons fending off interest from across Europe to secure the 26-year-old's signature.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho blasted VAR following his side’s 3-1 defeat to Sheffield United on Thursday night, having seen what would have been an equaliser to make it 1-1 controversially ruled out because of a handball in the build-up. Harry Kane was the player who put the ball in the net, but the goal was chalked off following a VAR review when Lucas Moura was harshly adjudged to have handled it as he fell under pressure from Sheffield United defenders and had the ball struck...

With the season drawing to a close, there is still plenty to play for for Frank Lampard's Chelsea. The Blues currently sit in fourth place - two points clear of Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp defended the attitude of his team in a prickly post-match interview following Thursday night’s 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City. The evening began with City players applauding the Liverpool side onto the Etihad Stadium pitch in a guard of honour – albeit somewhat half-arsed – to acknowledge the Reds winning the title last week.

Bayern Munich have signed long-term target Leroy Sane from Manchester City on a five-year deal. The forward had long been linked with a move to Bavaria and will join the Bundesliga champions immediately, meaning he will not feature for City for the rest of the season. #ServusLeroy ?⚪#FCBayern #MiaSanMia @LeroySane19 pic.twitter.com/ZgxpMXg8mR — FC Bayern English (@FCBayernEN) July 3, 2020 The 24-year-old departs the Etihad Stadium as a two-time Premier League and League Cup winner - and also...

Sergio Ramos scored his fourth goal in six games as Real Madrid edged Getafe 1-0 to stay in pole position in the La Liga title race. The Spanish striker - sorry, 'centre back' - converted a penalty in his 450th La Liga match for Real late in the second half after Getafe's Mathias Olivera brought down Dani Carvajal with a stray leg. Ramos has proved pivotal in Real's title charge since the resumption of play, looking excellent at the back alongside Raphael Varane - who had to be replaced by...

There is no better indication of the dearth of consistency in this season's Premier League than the fact that Leicester City remain in third place. Aside from Jurgen Klopp's all conquering Liverpool side, the only other team in the division that has shown itself to be deserving of a Champions League spot is Manchester City - who may be banned from competing in next season's competition. For a time, Leicester could count themselves among this elite group, but no more. They must now throw...

ions Manchester City exacted revenge over Liverpool with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over the Premier League champions on Thursday night. After being greeted with a guard of honour, the Reds looked hungry from the beginning and went close when Mohamed Salah's shot beat Ederson's dive, only to come off the post. But after Joe Gomez gave away a penalty for impeding Raheem Sterling's run, Kevin De Bruyne confidently swept the ball past Alisson to put the hosts in front. Welcoming the ?????????...

"We don't need huge investment." Those were the words of José Mourinho shortly before his Tottenham side headed to Sheffield United to face a Blades side without a win since the footballing restart; 90 minutes of football later and he might be regretting that comment. McBurnie didn't give the Spurs defence a minute's peace Spurs delivered an absolutely woeful display in their 3-1 defeat to out-of-form Sheffield United. While their usually clinical forward players weren’t quite at the races,...

Jose Mourinho has criticised VAR after Tottenham had a goal disallowed during a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Sheffield United.

Lucas Moura's unintentional handball led to VAR chalking off Harry Kane's equaliser The Blades soon raced into a three goal lead in...
