Manchester United have confirmed that Alexis Sanchez and Chris Smalling will spend the remainder of the 2019/20 season on loan at Inter and Roma respectively. Both loan deals were due to expire at the end of June, which would ordinarily have been after the end of the season. But temporary extensions until the first week of August will allow each player to remain on loan until the end of the Serie A season. Smalling has impressed since joining Roma on loan With both Inter and Roma still in the...

We all love a footballing enigma. Someone who you can't quite wrap your head around. Is he actually good? Is he overrated? Is everything going against him? Robinho slots into that mould rather fluidly. However, at the turn of the century, everything was going for him. Robinho lifts the league title with Santos Robinho was billed not only as one of the greatest prospects of his era, but indeed one of the most exciting ever. That can, admittedly, get quite tiresome. We're used to the normal...

Manchester United have confirmed that Angel Gomes has left the club after turning down the offer of a new contract. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with leaving Old Trafford in search of first team opportunities, having made only ten senior appearances for the Red Devils since making his debut in 2017.

On June 30th 2020, Lionel Messi joined a very exclusive club. With a delicate Panenka penalty against Atletico Madrid, the six time Ballon d'Or winner became only the seventh footballer to score 700 professional goals. With this extraordinary tally, it is difficult to narrow it down, but here are Lionel Messi's ten most memorable goals. 1. vs Albacete (La Liga, 04/05) A photo that will go down in history, as Messi celebrates his first goal with Barcelona legend Ronaldinho Only 17 at the time,...

With the 2019/20 season set to run deep into summer as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, players whose deals were due to expire on 30 June have now either penned short-term extensions, agreed deals to move to new clubs, or left as free agents. Here's a look at nine of the most high-profile stars now on the lookout for new clubs after becoming free agents as of 1 July. Edinson Cavani Cavani was clinical at PSG Where else could we start? Joining Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2013,...

Arsenal's contract dealings have come under a great deal of scrutiny of late - and quite rightly as well. Extending the high earning David Luiz's deal, days after he put in one of the worst Premier League performances of all time against Manchester City was difficult to defend, even for the most optimistic advocates of the unpredictable Brazilian. Arsenal's last minute defeat to Brighton will have frustrated Gunners fans Similarly, gifting Cedric Soares a four-year contract when the Portuguese...

At midnight on Tuesday night, just moments after Barcelona had suffered yet another frustrating draw - this time at home to Atletico Madrid - the contract of 33-year-old Arda Turan finally expired. Such is the madness of this season - as pointed out on Twitter by Spanish football writer Euan McTear - Turan could've come on in the match and seen his contract expire while playing had time run over. Only, he isn't actually registered to play. The 100-cap Turkey international hasn't played a...

Ross Barkley is perhaps the most frustrating Premier League player to watch. When he's good, he's really very good. When he's poor, he's...well, really very poor. Time after time, the midfielder follows up a performance full of vigour and energy with one where you forget he's even on the pitch. It's slightly baffling that at 26 and with that talent he undeniably possesses, Barkley is yet to make a significant impact in the Premier League. Ross Barkley ?

Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that he is hopeful that Everton can start challenging for the Premier League title 'soon'. When he's not forgetting long-serving players in his squad, the Italian is working hard to turn around the Toffees' fortunes and to date has recorded six wins and four draws from his first 14 matches in the hotseat. Learning from the best. pic.twitter.com/GNfEEWFc6n — Everton (@Everton) June 29, 2020 Those results have put Everton into a position to compete for European...

Real Madrid have essentially been told to look elsewhere in the transfer market by French side Rennes, with the club's sporting director insisting €80m would not be enough to sign coveted starlet Eduardo Camavinga. The 17-year-old has caught the eye in Ligue 1 this season, dazzling in the centre of the park. Camavinga had made 25 league appearances for Rennes this year until the campaign was brought to a premature end by the coronavirus outbreak. Camavinga in action for Rennes this season But...

Juventus have made contact with the representatives of Valencia's Ferran Torres, with one source claiming that talks are at an 'intensive stage' ahead of a proposed summer move to Turin. With six goals and seven assists in all competitions this season, Torres has been the standout star for Los Ches, but his form has been unable to prevent them embarking on a run of just two wins in 13 matches - resulting in Albert Celades recently being sacked as manager.

Former Manchester United goalkeeping coach Eric Steele, who played a monumental role in David de Gea joining the club in 2011, has backed the under fire Spaniard to return to his former best and potentially even stay at Old Trafford for another 10 years. De Gea has experienced a dip in form over the last couple of seasons, resulting in a number of high profile errors. The most recent of those came against Tottenham in the first game of the Premier League restart, although a flying save against...

tics Given the utter failure of England's 'Golden Generation', the distaste for Harry Kane among English fans rather bizarre. They have a genuinely world class forward in our ranks, and yet they choose to mock and deride him. And not for good reasons, either. He's slaughtered for saying he scored a goal that he may or may not have scored, winning the Golden Boot at the World Cup, and not passing to Raheem Sterling (worth noting: a still image or slow-motion video doesn't tell the full story)....

ter City It's been four years to the day since that turn. Four years since the moment Hal Robson-Kanu allowed a nation of three million to dream, and to start believing that they might just be about to put themselves on the footballing map. Their dreams came true. Sam Vokes' incredible glancing header confirmed 1 July 2016 was to be known as the most famous day in Welsh footballing history, as they conquered second-in-the-world Belgium in the quarter finals of Euro 2016, at their first...

As human beings, from an early age we experience an innate desire of wanting things we can't have. Young kids snatch their siblings' toys, not necessarily because they want them, but purely to deny someone else the happiness they can provide. This need of claiming what isn't yours does not always die after adolescence, however, and it can carry over into adulthood - or even to your favourite football club. Griezmann joined Barcelona in the summer of 2019 For Barcelona, being happy wasn't...

Poor old Jadon Sancho, eh? Fresh off the back of another majestic Bundesliga campaign with Borussia Dortmund, the England international was readying himself for an unprecedented transfer window in which he was the name on the tip of everybody's tongues. Jadon Sancho is also set to depart the Bundesliga this summer However, some German fella barely 60 kilometres south of Dortmund in Leverkusen is set to steal the limelight. Kai Havertz's resurgence in the Rückrunde's and the ease at which he...

Tottenham Hotspur are highly interested in signing Lazio star Sergej Milinković-Savić this summer, and could make a deal work financially through multiple sales, according to a report from France. The Serbian international has continued to impress for I Biancocelesti, and has been crucial to their title challenge this season. An imposing player physically, he's also talented with the ball, racking up five goals and four assists in the league this season. According to French outlet Foot...

ion Wigan Athletic have confirmed that the club has gone into administration, leaving the Latics in danger of receiving a hefty points deduction. The Championship side are in the midst of a gripping relegation battle, but they have been the form team in the second division since the turn of the year, and with six games to play, they find themselves eight points above the drop zone. Wigan Athletic v Blackburn Rovers - Sky Bet Championship Wigan looked to have all-but secured their survival on...

After a bizarre season of VAR nonsense and a global pandemic, we finally know Manchester City will not be winning their third Premier League title in a row. Pep Guardiola's side have not been the juggernaut they were over the past two seasons, leaving them out of reach of Jurgen Klopp's irrepressible Liverpool. On Thursday, they will begrudgingly give their successors a guard of honour when they walk out onto the pitch at the Etihad Stadium. Congratulations to @LFC on winning the Premier...

Mason Greenwood has begun to make the right wing position at Manchester United his own, with another breathtaking display against Brighton on Tuesday night. The 18-year-old's ability to work half a yard of space for himself is crucial, while his overall maturity and professionalism for a player so young has been clear for all to see this season. Greenwood is ruthless in front of goal Greenwood showed once again on Tuesday why he is considered one of the very best young talents in world...
