Bayern Munich are expected to demand at least £54m if they are to sell midfielder Thiago Alcantara, who has been linked with a surprise move to Premier League champions in waiting Liverpool. A report from Germany has claimed that Thiago has 'hesitated' on contract talks with Bayern, despite having almost every detail agreed, with the Spaniard supposedly interested in heading to Anfield. Update @fcbayern & Thiago: in the Team there are rumors that he wants to join @LFC @SPORTBILD —...

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has laughed off suggestions that his side profit from biased refereeing decisions, after Los Blancos again benefited from a questionable call in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Real Mallorca. Vinícius Júnior opened the scoring midway through the first half, but the Mallorca players protested that right-back Dani Carvajal had committed a foul in the build-up. VAR was consulted and the referee eventually declined to reverse the decision. ☝️⚽✨ We are the first team to...

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confessed that he expects to be able to confirm teenage starlet Bukayo Saka has signed a new contract in the near future. The 18-year-old, who has enjoyed an outstanding breakthrough campaign on the left flank for the Gunners, has just one year remaining on his current contract and has been in talks over a new deal for what feels like an eternity. Saka has attracted interest from a number of football's elite With negotiations dragging on, pretty much every big...

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp struggled to express his delight with his side's performance in Wednesday's 4-0 win over Crystal Palace, admitting it could have been one of the best showings he has ever seen. The Reds were overwhelmingly dominant against a side who have created real problems for them in the past, and the victory now leaves Liverpool needing just two points (or Manchester City to drop two) to win the Premier League title. Even without fans cheering them on, Liverpool put on a...

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has said that surgery on his knee on Wednesday ‘went well’, with the Argentine hoping to begin his recovery process soon. However, it remains unclear whether he will play again this season. Already feeling pain, Aguero suffered a knock during City’s 5-0 win over Burnley on Monday night. He underwent a scan and was assessed by specialist Dr Ramon Cugat in Barcelona. Aguero went to Dr Ramon Cugat in Barcelona for surgery Dr Cugat is the preferred surgeon of...

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has revealed the club are still speaking to winger Willian over a new long-term contract. The Brazilian is out of contract this summer but recently joined Pedro in penning short-term extensions to allow them to finish the Premier League season with the Blues. ICYMI: @willianborges88 and @_Pedro17_ have agreed extensions to their existing contracts! — Chelsea FC (at ?) (@ChelseaFC) June 24, 2020 Pedro is expected to join Roma once that temporary deal expires, but...

oint The points were shared on an unusually hot evening in north east England as Newcastle and Aston Villa held each other to a draw. The visitors looked lively from kick off and created a number of chances early on, but failure to find a goal let Newcastle back into the game toward the end of the first half. Steve Bruce's side looked to attack in a direct fashion, with the likes of Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron, but they struggled to break down a tight Villa defence, meaning the game...

Road Everton secured their first win out of lockdown as Michael Keane's header condemned Norwich to their fourth Premier League defeat in five games. The deadlock was broken ten minutes into the second half following a pretty turgid opening period, as Keane rose highest to flick in Lucas Digne's corner with the help of some static Norwich defending. The Canaries struggled to create clear chances, with their best opportunities coming when Onel Hernandez hit the post and Lukas Rupp forced Jordan...

Wolves were dominant as they beat relegation-threatened Bournemouth 1-0 at the Molineux on Wednesday, thanks to a Raul Jimenez bullet-header. The first-half saw little action with neither side really at peak performance. Wolves ever-so-slightly dominated possession and were the only side to register a single shot on target, while Bournemouth managed to pick up three yellow cards. Wolves finally broke the deadlock after 60 minutes when an Adama Traore cross met the head of Raul Jimenez, who...

ture We can already see an understanding that borders on telepathic between Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes. If you're a Manchester United fan, then you've gazed into the crystal ball of the future. If you're allegiances lie elsewhere, then you're looking at one of the toughest midfield partnerships your side could face up against. However, whatever your stance, from a footballing perspective the pair are a going to be a sight to behold for quite some time. That is, of course, dependent on Paul...

The most watched football match on British television was also one of the worst we've seen in recent top flight history. Simply put, it was a turgid drag of an affair that put everyone to an early nights' sleep. It was slow, uneventful and devoid of entertainment. Three things we have not attributed to Liverpool this season. But with the first choice front three on show on Wednesday and the rest of the side stepping up, the Reds looked like a different animal. The Egyptian King has returned....

opes Manchester United increased their chances of securing Champions League football on Wednesday by seeing off fellow challengers Sheffield United 3-0 at Old Trafford. It didn't take long for the United frontline to spring into action, with Marcus Rashford drilling a ball across goal for Anthony Martial to slam home. The provider should have turned scorer soon after, but trickled a shot wide with the goal gaping following Martial's lay-off. The Frenchman did manage to grab his second before...

itle Liverpool were back to their best on Wednesday night as a thumping 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace moved them to within a whisker of a maiden Premier League title. Having looked off the pace against Everton, the Reds posed more danger in the opening stages than they had done throughout the entire 90 minutes at Goodison Park. Despite that, their opener came from a dead ball situation, as Trent Alexander-Arnold curled a sumptuous free kick into the top corner 23 minutes in. The home side...

Top A superb free-kick from captain Sergio Ramos helped Real Madrid pick up a 2-0 victory over RCD Mallorca on Wednesday night. The capital club started brightly, with both Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale forcing Manuel Reina to parry away their respective efforts. But Real wouldn't be denied for long, and Vinícius's close range finish past the goalkeeper put the hosts in front, even after a VAR check for offside. The Brazilian was then unlucky to hit the bar as Los Blancos went very close to...

"I am sick and tired of people talking about Europe, it’s about what’s happening in the present." So, going off the above, it might be best not to ask Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder about Champions League qualification. After all, nobody took that line of questioning to him before the season had started. If anything, the questions would have centred around whether Wilder believed the Blades could stay in the Premier League, given they went back down to the second tier on the previous...

Arsenal legend Jens Lehmann has entered the race to become the new coach of Dundee United, and he is being strongly considered for the role by the Scottish club. The Terrors announced the departure of previous boss Robbie Neilson on Sunday evening, who, having successfully led his former side to promotion back to the Scottish Premier League this season, opted to then join newly-relegated Hearts in what was a surprise move. Lehmann is keen to get into the managerial game And with Dundee United...

Arsenal could look to make a move for Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, with boss Mikel Arteta viewing him as a 'reliable' option to replace the injured Bernd Leno. Leno sustained a horrific injury during the Gunners' dramatic 2-1 defeat to Brighton on Saturday, after the goalkeeper collided with Seagulls forward Neal Maupay. However, Arsenal provided a very positive injury update on the player, confirming that they can expect to see him back in training in four to six weeks. It's...

News The Premier League fixture fun rolls on this Thursday - yes, Thursday - when Burnley take on Watford at Turf Moor. Both sides are yet to really get back into the swing of things after three months on the sidelines, each having taken to the field just once. Watford rescued a point late-on against Leicester. Burnley's return was a rather miserable one, as Manchester City inflicted more Etihad Stadium misery on Sean Dyche's side with a thumping 5-0 win. Watford, meanwhile, did their best to...

Laugh it up. If you haven't already, then you're the only one who hasn't; including Arsenal fans. Although in the case of the Gunners' supporters, they were not chuckles of joy, more like mild hysterics to mask the pain. Did the club actually just announce that? Were the decisions that were made genuinely done by the people in charge of running the club? It would appear so. Yes, on Wednesday morning it was confirmed that four new deals were agreed for members of the Arsenal squad: David Luiz,...

News Following back to back defeats to Manchester City and Brighton, Arsenal make another trip to the south coast on Thursday for their next Premier League game against Southampton. A tempestuous affair saw the Gunners beaten 2-1 by the Seagulls at the AMEX, leaving their hopes of European qualification in tatters. Conversely, Southampton won on their return to action, beating Norwich 3-0 at Carrow Road. Another victory in midweek for the Saints would see them go level on points with Arsenal....
