Die Roten Bullen sit in third place and, after a disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Fortuna Düsseldorf on Wednesday night, the hosts remain behind their upcoming opponents.

A major issue for any foreign-born player hoping to gain eligibility to play for England one day is the Home Nations’ Agreement that the FA first entered into with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in 1993. It has evolved over the years with minor updates, but the underlying rule is that foreign-born players with no ties to England cannot become naturalised and play. Foreign-born players with an English-born parent are eligible, as was the case with Owen Hargreaves, who had only ever lived...

Gossip linking Naby Keita with a summer exit from Liverpool has been dismissed, with the midfielder potentially set for a 'bigger role' next season. The 25-year-old Guinea international is now in his second season as a Liverpool player, having signed from RB Leipzig for around £52m - the third-biggest transfer fee paid in the Reds' history. Having made the Bundesliga Team of the Season in 2017 and then the Europa League's Squad of the Year in 2018, Keita was expected to take on a key role in...

Pep Guardiola has openly admitted Leroy Sane will not be signing a new contract at Manchester City, revealing the winger has turned down 'two or three' proposals from the club to extend his stay.

She has since gone on to become a top coach, leading both the Italy and Canada national...

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has given an honest assessment of the problems facing the club, with financial difficulties making his already challenging job even harder. The Spaniard is extremely committed to his job, but he has said he still needs to buy time and that is hard to do. Arteta saw his team dismantled by Manchester City in the first game back on Wednesday night, suffering early injuries, playing with 10 men for nearly a whole half and failing to muster even a single shot on target...

Liverpool missed out on signing longstanding target Timo Werner because the Anfield board considered it ‘irresponsible’ to sanction a major signing in the current climate. That left the door wide open for Chelsea, who confirmed the German’s arrival this week. For months, Werner looked almost destined to become a Liverpool player, continuing the Reds’ strong relationship with the Red Bull group after plucking Naby Keita from Leipzig in 2018 and Takumi Minamino from Salzburg much more recently....

Inter could be set to do Manchester United an almighty favour - some would argue - as discussions are taking place about the possibility of extending Alexis Sanchez's loan at San Siro by another 12 months. Following his high-profile swap move from Arsenal, the Chilean, who previously tore up the Premier League, simply forgot to turn up. His form dropped off a cliff and he lost his place in the side.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has called on star midfielder Paul Pogba to take on a leadership role at Old Trafford now that the Frenchman is back fit and ready to play after missing most of the 2019/20 through injury. Even though he isn’t expected to start on Friday night when United visit Tottenham in their first game back following the three-month suspension of all English football, Pogba has been declared fit by his manager and will likely feature off the bench for his...

News Fun's over. We've all had a laugh picking our favourite German football teams and mindlessly supporting them for the last few weeks, while pretending to know everything there is to know about Kai Havertz et al, but all good things must come to an end. Keep the stein glasses around though. The Premier League's return is closer than ever, and fans of the English game can look forward to a huge clash in the race for Champions League qualification almost immediately, as Tottenham Hotspur host...

Jose Mourinho has sought to dampen expectations for Tottenham's summer business by insisting his side are not in the 'same league' as some other clubs operating in the market. Spurs return to action after a break of over 100 days by taking on Manchester United on Friday night. Despite the disruption to the campaign, Mourinho's side find themselves in a much healthier position than three months ago, with the halt in action allowing key players such as Harry Kane to return from injury. "We go to...

Football rivalries are great. They're feisty, passionate, they give us all a (generally) harmless outlet for tribalism. It's even better when the players really buy into the spirit of them too, getting riled up on the pitch and fuelling the fires with big words in the buildup. Anyway, Richarlison's been doing some talking... The Brazilian's pointed remarks come ahead of Everton's home clash with Merseyside rivals Liverpool on Sunday, a match that, should the Reds win, will put them within...

Jose Mourinho has confirmed Tottenham's record signing Tanguy Ndombele is "ready" to face Manchester United on Friday. The Frenchman has experienced a challenging first season since arriving from Lyon for €62m (£55.7m) last summer, managing two goals and two assists in 19 appearances, many of which have come from the bench. He has also endured a rocky relationship with Mourinho, who publicly criticised him after a particularly poor performance against Burnley back in March. Mourinho publicly...

There’s been an air of excitement around St James’ Park lately. With takeover talks said to be at an advanced stage, Newcastle fans are not only on the cusp of seeing their beloved club become the richest in Europe - perhaps even more significantly - they’re edging ever closer to seeing the back of the Wicked Witch of the South (or Mike Ashley to the rest of us). While the Geordie faithful are already salivating at the prospect of Kylian Mbappé taking one look at the plethora of kebab shops on...

More than four years on from their beautifully impossible title win, a lot has changed at Leicester City. The masterminds behind the greatest underdog story in footballing history, Claudio Ranieri, Craig Shakespeare and Steve Walsh are all long gone and most of the members of that team are also no longer at the King Power Stadium. N'Golo Kanté, Riyad Mahrez and Danny Drinkwater (remember him?) all departed in high profile circumstances, while some of the less revered title winners have...
