News Norwich's seemingly doomed struggle to avoid Premier League relegation continues on Wednesday when the Canaries head to the Emirates to take on an Arsenal side still trying to find their feet under new boss Mikel Arteta.

Borussia Dortmund executive Hans-Joachim Watzke has admitted that the club will discuss selling Jadon Sancho this summer if the Englishman specifically requests a move away. Manchester United are in pursuit of Sancho, and 90min understands that they remain confident of getting a deal over the line, but the coronavirus crisis has left the two sides stuck in somewhat of a stand-off over the cost of the deal.

Barcelona legend Xavi Hernández has confirmed he is already preparing to return to Camp Nou in the near future, suggesting the 2021 presidential election as the ideal time to make the move. Xavi, who is currently in charge of Qatari side Al-Sadd, was heavily linked with the coaching job at Barcelona back in January, but he rejected the offer as he felt it was too soon, prompting Barcelona to move for Quique Setién instead. Quique Setien is under pressure at Camp Nou However, it has not been...

Soon-to-be Chelsea striker Timo Werner has confessed that he chose to give up the chance to finish the Champions League with RB Leipzig because it 'didn't feel right' to remain in Germany after he becomes a Chelsea player. With the Champions League set to spill over into August, many transfers will only be finalised once that competition comes to a close, so it came as a surprise to see Werner refuse to play on with Leipzig to seal a move to Stamford Bridge as soon as possible. Werner was...

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has penned an open letter to the people of Liverpool dedicating the Reds' Premier League title victory to them. Klopp's side have been runaway leaders almost all season and confirmation of their first title in 30 years was coming for what felt like an eternity, before Chelsea's 2-1 win over Manchester City made it official.

Real Madrid established a two-point lead over Barcelona in the La Liga title race by beating Espanyol on Sunday night, thanks to Casemiro's composed finish. Los Blancos were largely dominant in terms of possession and shots taken but left it until the 45th minute to take the lead, with midfielder Casemiro latching onto Karim Benzema's brilliant backheel to fire the visitors in front. Real were previously only ahead of Barcelona by virtue of their better head to head record, but La Blaugrana's...

Race Inter came from behind late on to beat Parma 2-1 on Sunday night, just about keeping their faint Scudetto hopes alive. A disjointed first-half performance from Inter saw the hosts take full advantage, as former Arsenal man Gervinho gave Parma the lead 15 minutes in after some crafty footwork sat Antonio Candreva down. Gervinho scored the opener with an impressive finish Andreas Cornelius - fresh off the back of his hat-trick at Genoa last time out - meanwhile, spurned several glorious...

Manchester United have been drawn to face Chelsea in the semi finals of the FA Cup, with Arsenal taking on Manchester City. The draw took place at half-time of City's tie with Newcastle on Sunday, conducted by a lonely Alan Shearer due to social distancing regulations. United were first out of the hat, and will take on the Blues in the showpiece semi-final later this month. The Red Devils were the first side to book their place in the semi-finals on Saturday evening, though were taken all the...

The affections of football fans can be hard to understand sometimes. It feels like at every club there's a naff defensive midfielder who, simply because they do lots of running and love to steam into a tackle on derby day, is more popular with supporters than a clever striker or tidy full back. But it's always the case that some players are just too good to be ignored, and forwards especially can bury most naysayers under an avalanche of goals, even if they don't appear to 'play for the...

Burnley are the latest Premier League team being eyed for a possible takeover, with a number of American and Middle-Eastern investors seeing significant potential in the club. The Clarets have been in the news for the wrong reasons lately, with one of their fans behind the 'White Lives Matter' plane banner flown before their defeat to Manchester City. That event was followed by questions being asked about Sean Dyche's future at Turf Moor. Now, a number of overseas investors are interested in...

Nothing in football gets the blood going quite like a cup draw. Seeing your team's name in the hat beside their assigned ball number, dreaming of Wembley while praying you can avoid that one team no-one wants to play; it's a truly unique experience.

Spot Manchester City booked an FA Cup semi-final tie against Arsenal as Kevin De Bruyne's penalty and Raheem Sterling's curler helped Pep Guardiola's side see off Newcastle at St James' Park. In a first half defined by the expansive interplay between City's scorching strike-force and something a little more...agricultural from the Magpies, Steve Bruce's plan almost came off, before an eagle-eyed Lee Mason spotted Javier Manquillo's shove on Gabriel Jesus in the penalty area.

When Todd Cantwell thundered in an equaliser from 25 yards against Manchester United at the weekend, it served as a welcome reminder that there is an incredible talent hiding underneath his signature hairband. We haven't seen it often enough in 2020 after his astonishing start to the season tailed off along with Norwich's fortunes, but he's been one of a few bright sparks, and when their drop back into the Championship is eventually confirmed, he looks set to leave for bigger and brighter...

La Masia is not what it used to be, that much we already know. The 2010 era at Barcelona, where the club had - according to Ballon d'Or voting - the world's top three footballers in Lionel Messi, Xavi and Andres Iniesta, was always going to be tricky to replicate. Yet nobody expected it to be as bad as it has been for the Catalan giants. With such a strong philosophy rooted in the development of youth prospects, nurturing them from a tender age to one day appear for the first team, the results...

If Borussia Dortmund are resigned to losing Jadon Sancho this summer, then their poker face deserves substantial praise. The England winger remains Manchester United's primary target for the window ahead, but despite frequent speculation, Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has claimed United will not be able to afford the 20-year-old. As the curtain comes down on the #Bundesliga season this afternoon, it could be the end of an era at @BVB . Mario Gotze's contract is up, while Jadon Sancho and...

Ten Hag has accepted Andre Onana could also depart this...

Grabbing his eighth goal of the season from the penalty spot may not be the greatest example of his teammates 'playing to his strengths', but all the other aspects of Arsenal's attacking display against Sheffield United hinted that we may be on the verge of seeing the best of Nicolas Pepe. Dare I say the Lille Nicolas Pepe? No I don't, not just yet. But we're getting there. He's flattered to deceive on a few occasions this season, be it either going through matches as a mere passenger or...

Mesut Özil was ruled out of Arsenal's FA Cup quarter-final victory with Sheffield United because of a minor back injury. The German has yet to play for the Gunners since English football returned, having first been left out of manager Mikel Arteta's matchday squad against Manchester City. He was then an unused substitute against both Brighton and Southampton, with the Spaniard instead favouring the likes of Joe Willock in the starting lineup. And he played no part in Yorkshire too, having...

First it was his ACL now it's COVID-19, there's no doubting someone up there just doesn't want Leroy Sane to leave Manchester City in favour of Bayern Munich. The 24-year-old has enjoyed a glittering four-year career on the sky blue side of Manchester; racking up five major honours and playing a starring role in the CItyzens' back-to-back Premier League triumphs. During City's 'centurions' campaign in 2017/18, Sane also brought home the PFA Young Player of the Year award. Sane returned to...

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has warned that he does not envisage his future in management lasting for 20 more years. The 1998 Ballon d'Or winner returned for his second spell as manager of Real Madrid in March 2019 after leading the club he once played for to three consecutive Champions League titles. Zidane's side are locked in a tight La Liga title race with perennial rivals Barcelona this season. However, in a press conference ahead of Real Madrid's clash with Espanyol on Sunday,...
