However, the club's situation with player contracts has been a source of frustration, with Jeff Hendrick poised to leave Turf Moore at the end of June when his deal expires....

South Africa confirms interest in hosting 2021 Fifa Club World Cup

The last three months have been a weird kind of purgatory for Liverpool fans. The pandemic-enforced hiatus - a phrase never before used in professional European football prior to this year - was bookended by shock defeats to Watford and Atletico Madrid and an awkward, disjointed draw to Everton. Off the field, brought on by the special kind of chaos of COVID-19, there was the furloughing fiasco, the null and void/asterisk chat and then Timo Werner joined Chelsea. The latter more than anything...

David de Gea praises Cristiano Ronaldo's impact at Manchester United

Sergio Ramos scores a ridiculous amount of goals. The Real Madrid man has racked up the kind of numbers most players can only dream of, and he's a centre-back. Now La Liga's highest-scoring defender of all time, Ramos has shown a penchant for towering headers and gorgeous free kicks. When you add crunching tackles and an obscene amount of red cards to the mix, you see why Ramos is such an iconic figure in football. Goals come concerningly easily to Ramos (he has 120 for club and country at...

Arsenal seal last-gasp 4-2 win in wild finish

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...

Fenerbahçe '90%' Confident of Securing Mesut Özil Transfer in January

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....

Ricardo Cadena humbles Chivas over top four slot chances

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...
