David Alaba superb, Real Madrid struggle vs. Villarreal in goalless draw

Newcastle United remain keen to hold on to youth team graduate Matty Longstaff despite interest from clubs both in England and across Europe. Longstaff marked his top flight debut in October by scoring the only goal in 1-0 win over Manchester United. The 20-year-old has made 15 appearances for Newcastle across all competitions this season but - following a breakdown in contract negotiations - is a now free agent. Matty Longstaff (R) has played alongside his older brother Sean (L) in...

Leicester City Open to Offers for Kelechi Iheanacho to Fund Odsonne Edouard Move

Leicester are willing to listen to offers for striker Kelechi Iheanacho this summer, as the Foxes look to make up money to bring Odsonne Edouard to the King Power Stadium. Iheanacho joined the Foxes back in 2017 for £25m, but has found a place in the starting lineup hard to come by under current Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers. Despite hitting the back of the net 10 times this season, the Nigerian international has just 16 starts in all competitions to his name – with Jamie Vardy still the...

Southampton are keen to rapidly finalise the signing of Tottenham Hotspur loanee Kyle Walker-Peters as West Ham threaten to rival the Saints for the full-back's signature. Walker-Peters has been on loan at Southampton since January. The 23-year-old right-back was dropped to the bench after starting the first three games of Tottenham's season, until moving to St Mary's at the turn of the year. Kyle Walker-Peters has been one of Southampton's key players since the Premier League returned in June...

Mikel Arteta Is Now More Important Than Anyone Else at Arsenal - Even Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's hilarious drop of the FA Cup trophy acted as neat metaphor. In order for Arsenal to continue succeeding and lifting silverware, they mustn't lose hold of their captain. One penalty won and brilliantly converted, followed by a superb second half goal, proved just how vital he is for the future of the club. Any notion of life without him is a terrifying prospect that the club cannot afford to entertain. He must be kept at all costs. Aubameyang wasn't quite sure what...

Leeds players 'sorry' after video of snubbing fans

Crystal Palace have identified Watford's Ismaila Sarr as a potential replacement for Wilfried Zaha, should they finally sell their star man. Zaha's been linked with a number of Premier League clubs for several years, but with the 27-year-old not hiding his desire to leave Selhurst Park, this summer might be the right time to move on for the Ivory Coast international. Roy Hodgson's side may have already lined up a potential replacement, with The Sun reporting that Palace are ready to pursue...

Barca victory cuts gap to Atletico to one point

Chelsea were undoubtedly second best in Saturday's FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal. Some questionable refereeing decisions didn't help, but the Gunners well and truly deserved to lift the trophy at the end of the day. The defeat means Frank Lampard will end his first season at Chelsea without a trophy. Well, assuming he can't mastermind the comeback of the century against Bayern Munich in the Champions League which, let's be honest, is not going to happen. The cup final failure has left many...

Halle Houssein joins West Ham from Arsenal

mmer Arsenal have had their least successful league campaign for over 30 years. Finishing eighth, everyone involved with the club will be disappointed with the campaign just gone. They did win the FA Cup and qualified for the Europa League through it though, so every cloud etc. Mikel Arteta returned to the club as manager in January, and since then there has been a steady improvement. He and the board are said to be locked in discussions over the size of Arsenal's transfer kitty this summer,...

6 Options for Eddie Howe After Leaving Bournemouth

As Junior Stanislas' limp effort squirmed between the mitts of Jordan Pickford, the Bournemouth contingent at Goodison Park swiftly shifted their focus to the big screen. That strike put the Cherries 3-1 up against Everton on the final day of the season, and within one point of 17th-placed Aston Villa – and their Liverpudlian hosts had taken the unorthodox approach of splashing the score between Aston Villa and West Ham on the stadium's big screen. Eddie Howe looks on as Bournemouth's final...

Supercomputer predicts final standings for 2022/23 Bundesliga

A quick bit of trivia to begin: what do Marcus Edwards, Josh Onomah and Kyle Walker-Peters all have in common? Pat yourself on the shoulder if you said that they're all Tottenham academy graduates, but the answer we were really looking for is that they were all victim to the bewildering 'no loan' policy during the Mauricio Pochettino era in N17. Harry Winks was a rare success story from Mauricio Pochettino's tenure in regards to youth development *Disclaimer* There wasn't actually such thing...

Romelu Lukaku provides update on his future and discusses new Inter boss

mmer Despite what looked to be a promising season for Crystal Palace, it all went wrong very quickly for the Eagles. With the club on the verge of their highest ever Premier League finish with just eight games to go, seven defeats in their last eight games saw the club finish a disappointing 14th. The poor conclusion to the season has shown there's still a lot of work to be done if Roy Hodgson hopes to help the club make the next step - if he's still at Palace next season, that is. There are a...

Chris Smalling is set for a return to Manchester United, with Roma yet to reach an agreement with the club over extending his loan for the conclusion of the Europa League. The Englishman shone for the Giallorossi in Serie A last term as he struck a fine relationship with Gianluca Mancini at the heart of Paulo Fonseca's defence - with Roma finishing fifth in the table following their 3-1 victory over champions Juventus on Saturday night to round off the campaign. Smalling was a mainstay in...

Mauricio Pochettino Opens Door to Replacing Quique Setien at Barcelona

Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has backtracked on previous comments saying that he'd never take up the managerial job at Barcelona, opening the door a crack for him to be Quique Setien's successor at Camp Nou. The pressure has mounted exponentially on Setien after the Catalans surrendered their La Liga title to Real Madrid for the first time since 2017, with the Spaniard struggling to impose his ideals and manage the bigger egos within the Barcelona squad. It's been a mixed bag for...

Lavelle leads USWNT in win despite seeing Nigeria snap impressive shutout streak

mmer Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has admitted that the coronavirus pandemic has made deals for either Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar or Inter's Lautaro Martínez very unlikely. Before football shut down, Barça had been planning to bring in both players in a double swoop which could well have hit close to the £300m mark, but the club's finances took a huge hit during the stoppage and now such business seems impossible. Neymar is keen on a return to Camp Nou A deal for Martínez was...

Thomas Tuchel suggests positional change for struggling Saul Niguez

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has insisted that leaving Anfield never crossed his mind despite a tough start to his career on Merseyside. Henderson joined the Reds in a £20m deal from Sunderland in the summer of 2011 but struggled to adjust under Kenny Dalglish at his new club - with many believing the move had come too soon for the then 20-year-old. Henderson's £20m fee certainly raised a few eyebrows His poor start to life at Anfield prompted reports linking him with a move to Fulham,...

Fernandes, Cavani lead Man United in Roma rout

Milan have entered the race for Tottenham's Serge Aurier and have identified the Ivorian as their 'main target' for a new right-back this summer. With the Rossoneri failing to qualify for next season's Champions League despite a great run of form after the restart, the prospect of losing either Andrea Conti or Davide Calabria - their two favoured options at right-back - is genuine and the club will be in search of a replacement should either one of them depart. The Rossoneri may be forced to...
