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. Here's your #EmiratesFACup semi-final draw ? pic.twitter.com/f53z3pAePn — The Emirates FA Cup (@EmiratesFACup) June 28, 2020 Much was expected of the semi-final draw for this year's tournament, particularly with two of London's major clubs and the...

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. Birthday boy De...

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...

Ajax manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed star players Donny van de Beek, Andre Onana and Nicolas Tagliafico could all leave the club in the next transfer window. The youthful Champions League semi-finalist side of 2018/19 has already been split up following the departures of Matthijs de Ligt to Juventus, Frenkie de Jong to Barcelona and Hakim Ziyech to Chelsea, and a number of their remaining players have been linked with future exits. 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,...

Juventus' chief football officer Fabio Paratici has warned off potential buyers for Adrien Rabiot this summer, insisting the Frenchman will stay in Turin. Rabiot has recently been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Arsenal and Manchester United said to be interested, following a pretty indifferent debut campaign at Juve after his summer move. The 25-year-old has made just 13 league starts under Maurizio Sarri this term, with the Bianconeri's midfield a constant source of their woes...

Watford confirmed prior to their Premier League game against Southampton that Andre Gray, Nathaniel Chalobah and Domingos Quina had been omitted from the squad for health reasons, amid speculation that the trio broke social distancing measures to attend a party. Lockdown rules and regulations have slowly started to be lifted by the UK government after weeks of total shutdown, but the rules stipulate that large gatherings with those outside of your own household are still not allowed. ?

Spot Chelsea beat Leicester to progress to the semi finals of the FA Cup as Ross Barkley struck the winner at the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Tottenham have no intention of selling record-signing Tanguy Ndombele this summer, with the club backing the Frenchman to be a major hit in the long haul. Ndombele has attracted a lot of attention during his debut Premier League season, as a result of his sensationalised 'rift' with manager Jose Mourinho rather than his on-field performances. Ndombele scored on his Premier League debut in a 3-1 win over Aston Villa on the opening weekend of the season The Frenchman has endured fitness, injury...

Win Southampton set a new club record of eight away wins with a 3-1 victory against relegation-threatened Watford on Sunday evening. An uneventful opening quarter of an hour was made to seem all the more scrappy when Danny Ings produced the first moment of quality, with a piece of neat footwork creating a pocket of space to fire in the opener for Southampton. ????-trumental ? pic.twitter.com/JhvfMzEug4 — Southampton FC (@SouthamptonFC) June 28, 2020 The Saints largely dominated the play,...

News The race for Champions League qualification continues on Tuesday as Manchester United head to the Amex to take on Brighton in the Premier League. Graham Potter's men have enjoyed a bright return, beating Arsenal at home and drawing with Leicester at the King Power Stadium, but face a far sterner test in the shape of the Red Devils. Following a slow start to the season, United have found their feet in the second half of the campaign and are currently enjoying a 14-game unbeaten run in all...

News Serie A leaders Juventus can move one step closer to a ninth successive Scudetto when they travel to struggling Genoa. I Bianconeri are closing on the title after thrashing Lecce 4-0 at the Allianz Stadium, opening up a four-point gap over Lazio, who slipped to defeat at Atalanta last week before scraping past Fiorentina. Juventus are four points clear at the top of Serie A. Genoa, meanwhile, are fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table, with a point against Brescia last time...

Well, well, well. Liverpool have done it. It is finally their year. You could debate in the pub for hours over whether Liverpool have stepped up this season or if City have let their foot off the gas, but frankly it's both. The Reds have been mesmerising to watch and even when they haven't played well, they've won. They may have already won the EFL Cup this season with the Champions League and FA Cup also up for grabs, but City have a lot of catching up to do in 2020/21. Let's take a look at...

sted Arsenal are said to be in advanced talks to sign Red Bull Salzburg youngster and Hungary international Dominik Szoboszlai. The 19-year-old has long been on the Gunners' radar, having impressed with his performances in the Austrian Bundesliga last season. Szoboszlai has ten goals and 16 assists in 37 games in all competitions this campaign, sparking interest from a host of top European clubs. Szoboszlai in action against Liverpool in the Champions League Since the return of Austrian top...
