With less than a week to go before we're all blessed with the Premier League returning, all the excitement is naturally around who is going to play and who is going to grab the headlines. But behind all that are a number of players who've failed to dazzle; either warming up the bench or offering precious little when called upon. This is the case for a swathe of players across top flight clubs, and they've certainly got a point to prove to prevent their respective managers losing their...

Jose Mourinho is looking to pick up some squad reinforcements from former club Chelsea this summer, with Olivier Giroud near the top of his target list. Giroud is a target for Tottenham, Inter and Lazio, with all three clubs looking for some reinforcements in their forward line this summer. Olivier Giroud vs Everton The Express report that Mourinho - who tried to sign Giroud in January - will continue his pursuit of the former Arsenal striker. Giroud signed a £110k-a-week deal just last month,...

Some transfers make absolutely no sense whatsoever. But, some of those transfers make total sense when you realise that Arsenal are involved. This is a club who signed a midfielder with a broken back for Pete's sake. ? @OficialCedric https://t.co/Bhua48v3eh pic.twitter.com/W60e5EraKT — Arsenal (@Arsenal) June 5, 2020 On the face of it, striking a loan deal for Cedric Soares as cover for Hector Bellerin in January wasn't a totally barmy idea. Arsenal needed cover for the Spaniard as they were -...

Football is back, but you're living in dreamland if you think that will be enough to stem the tide of flimsy rumours related to the game's most over-priced players. Where Gareth Bale was once the centre of attention, however, it's Philippe Coutinho who has now taken to centre court. The Brazilian's move to Barcelona in January 2018 was designed to catapult him into the stratosphere, but a series of bad decisions - including but not limited to joining Bayern Munich on loan - have seen his stock...

Tuesday marked the three-month anniversary since we were last treated to the delights of Serie A football. The hiatus hasn’t been easy; after all, it’s not as though this season’s campaign was gently winding down. With the title race set to go down to the wire, Champions League football up for grabs, and practically every team in the bottom half looking nervously over their shoulder, the resumption of Italy’s top tier can’t come soon enough. On 20 June, the recess will end and each team will...

ertz Thomas Müller has lauded former Germany international teammate Kai Havertz, describing the forward as an ‘extremely good player’. Bayer Leverkusen's Havertz is enjoying yet another fine season in the Bundesliga. His 11 goals in 26 games this campaign mean he’s now notched 28 in his previous 60 league appearances. His impressive form has turned the heads of a number of European giants, including Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern. Now, Müller has heaped praise on...

Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time, Manchester United fans. Ever since 90min's very own Scott Saunders posted a toe-curlingly ugly image of the club's apparent 2020/21 third kit in March, supporters have been desperately searching for any scrap of evidence that the shirt was a fake. Oh my god no pic.twitter.com/1L69PwDP8N — Scott Saunders (@_scottsaunders) March 25, 2020 Then, photos of training kit sporting a similarly zebra-inspired look were leaked at the beginning of June,...

Confirmation of Timo Werner's transfer to Chelsea is being held up by the practicalities of the striker completing a medical. The 24-year-old had long seemed destined for a move to Liverpool, only for the Blues to swoop in and secure a sensational €60m deal last week. However, according to German football expert Rafa Honigstein, Werner's confirmation as a Chelsea player is being delayed due to the difficulties of organising the player's medical. Timo Werner has impressed for RB Leipzig this...

Marcus Rashford's partnership with FareShare has been one of the most uplifting footballing stories during lockdown. Kicking off back in March, the Manchester United forward threw his support behind the charity, making it his mission to provide food parcels for vulnerable families after schools across the country were forced to shut their doors. This left hundred of thousands of children without the security of a guaranteed meal and Rashford provided a sizeable donation to the relief scheme,...

tion Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United are locked in a stand-off over the cost of a deal for winger Jadon Sancho. Sancho has attracted interest from the vast majority of elite clubs across Europe, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United often named as the leading candidates, but it is the Red Devils who are in the driver's seat.

A lot of things have changed since the COVID-19 outbreak ground football to a halt in March. One thing appears to have stayed very much the same though - Liverpool being devastatingly good at football. Jurgen Klopp's side got their Premier League restart preparations off to a perfect start on Thursday afternoon, putting six goals past Blackburn Rovers at Anfield.

News After three long months away from competitive football, Italy's top sides are on the brink of a return – one which seemed inconceivable not so long ago. On Saturday night, Inter travel south to take on Napoli in the second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final. Antonio Conte's side are trailing 1-0 on aggregate after Fabian Ruiz curled in the only goal of their last meeting prior to the suspension of play. "FABIAN RUIZ SHOCKS SAN SIRO!" What. A. Goal. ? Napoli lead in the #CoppaItalia...

After an absence of three months and uncertainty as to whether the season would actually be continued, Italian football will be back on our screens on Friday. Okay, so it's only the Coppa Italia, but you'd take that after months of watching the Belarusian league and re-watching matches you already know the result to. The first couple of games are absolute crackers as well, with Juventus playing Milan and Inter facing SSC Napoli. The empty, echoey stadiums will take some getting used to, unless...

It's been a long time coming but Barcelona will finally return to La Liga action on Saturday night when they travel to the Balearic Islands to take on Mallorca. Yes, it may be behind closed doors and yes, it may not be the most high-profile of curtain raisers, but it'll come as welcome relief for a community of Barça fans starved of matches for months. The lack of football hasn't been all bad though. With the season put on hold, several Barcelona players have had a chance to recover from...

Deal Bayern Munich have employed a new tactic in their chase of Manchester City forward Leroy Sane this summer, with a deal 'still likely'. Sane had looked destined to make the switch to Bavaria before the start of the 2019/20 campaign, but the torn ACL he sustained in his side's Community Shield victory over Liverpool back in August thwarted a potential move. Bayern, though, remain keen on adding the 24-year-old to their squad, but the two clubs are currently some distance apart in their...

ield After falling into obscurity following the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, the future finally appears a little brighter for those on the red side of Manchester. Whether it be the Jadon Sancho links, Bruno Fernandes' arrival, the emphasis on a youth-led revolution or Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looking like he can actually coach, there's reason to believe the Red Devils will re-emerge as a gargantuan European force in the 2020s. January arrival Bruno Fernandes has had a galvanising effect...

There's a lot of pain and heartache in the world at the moment. Thankfully, Ajax have decided to bring a little bit of a joy into everyone's life by dropping one of their sexiest away shirts in recent memory. The Eredivisie season may have been abandoned in April but the Dutch champions have clearly not been resting on their laurels, heading down to their top secret football kit laboratory in Amsterdam to brainstorm ideas with adidas. The result is a thing of beauty. Leave 1 GIF to rate our...

News Borussia Dortmund return to Bundesliga action this weekend with a trip to Fortuna Düsseldorf, knowing that if they fail to win the title race could be officially over, if it isn't already. Losing Der Klassiker to Bayern Munich opened a seven point gap between the two giants at the top of the league, and with only 12 left to play for, it is looking like the title will remain in Bavaria for another year at least. Dortmund are still doing all they can to keep the pressure on Bayern at the...

News Real Madrid make their return to action on Sunday when they host Eibar in La Liga, looking to keep pace with Barcelona in the title race. Real and Barça are separated by just two points, having both played 27 of their 38 league fixtures so far this term. It's a title challenge that you can't take your eyes off - neither side has been faultless this term, and the run-in will go right down to the wire. Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane Eibar, meanwhile, are in a relegation battle. Los...

ews La Liga is back. Yes, you heard that right. After four weeks of Bundesliga action, we finally have an offering from another major league for football fans to get stuck into. Nine fixtures remain for each team this season and there is still plenty to play for at both ends of the table. The title race is ever so tight, the battle for the Champions League spots is fierce, and the relegation places are far from decided. The league returns on Thursday, but the first taste of action for Athletic...
