One hundred million euros is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on anything, let alone an eighteen-years old footballer. In Arsenal’s case, it’s exactly what they need to do. With the Gunners already having had their one hundred million euro offer rejected by Monaco, will they go for another bite at the apple? They
There’s plenty of transfer talk to excite Liverpool fans this transfer window. If it’s not Mohamed Salah, it’s Gelson Martins providing the supporting act to this summer’s big drama: the Virgil van Dijk saga. The Reds, meanwhile, have already recruited Dominic Solanke - impressing at the Under-20 World Cup recently - and are clearly keen
(….Continuation from part 1 of this tale….) The Chelsea Under-17s were facing the Watford Under-17s in a crucial FA Youth Cup quarter-final encounter. With the former trailing 1-0 at half-time, the manager pushed George Woodcock to a more advanced attacking role in order to put pressure on Watford’s strong defense. A lot of people were
Crystal Palace Summary Staying in the Premier League should be Palace’s number one priority every season but it’s been disappointing at how bad they have struggled. A team boasting Zaha, Benteke, Townsend and Cabaye should be pushing up but their defence has let them down so they were rightly in a dog fight. Big Sam
Turn your minds back to the tumultuous summer of 2015. A ‘faulty’ fax machine stopped the transfer of David De Gea to Real Madrid – about the only good Louis van Gaal ever did at Manchester United. Two years later and Madrid’s interest in United’s goalkeeper is still hot. The Spaniard has already confided in
Long-term Gunners target Alexandre Lacazette seems to be moving within range of signing this transfer window, after reports of the club signing Monaco prodigy Kylian Mbappé proved to be misguided. So what would the French striker offer at The Emirates? Lacazette has once again set Ligue 1 alight this season, scoring 37 goals in 45
Ronald Koeman has done a super job in bringing Everton from finishing a disappointing 11th in the Premier League in 2016, to 7th at the end of this season-in his first year in charge. Although 8 points behind Manchester United, they were 15 points ahead of 8th place Southampton. This suggests the three; nearly four
In a recent interview with beIn Sports, when questioned about the possibility of signing Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez, Arsene Wenger replied: “Have we made a bid for him? No. Not yet. Not yet means it could happen, it could not happen.” Although this was a somewhat vague response by the Arsenal manager, it was also
“It’s Carrick… Y’know, hard to believe it’s not Scholes!” Ahead of the midfielder’s testimonial match that occurred last Sunday, to celebrate his eleven years at the club, Michael Carrick’s footballing times at Manchester United have showcased his craft to the highest degree. On the 27th May 2017, it was announced Carrick would remain at Manchester
Despite securing a top-four spot this season, it was always understood that recruitment at Liverpool wouldn’t be easy this summer. The club simply doesn’t have the wealth to compete with Manchester City and Manchester United in the transfer market and in order to succeed will have to target a different avenue of the market in
On June 6th 2017, Arsenal confirmed their latest signing of the 23-year-old left back Sead Kolasinac from Schalke. This is Arsene Wenger’s first signing of the summer, after agreeing his two-year contract extension, and he plans to bring in some more names. The Bosnian full-back signed for Arsenal on a Bosman free transfer and it
On the 5th June 2017, it was confirmed that former Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote had sadly passed away after collapsing during a training session with his club Beijing Enterprises Group FC. Tiote began his career with Ivorian team FC Bibo before moving on to Belgian club Anderlecht in 2005, followed by a switch to
As with any potential transfer, Manchester United’s pursuit of Ivan Perisic has been met with a rather mixed reaction on social media with many supporters concerned about the Croatian’s age and ability compared to players in the same position already on the move this window. It is widely reported that Manchester United have been encouraged
As the English Premiership has come to an end, allow me to join the entire football fraternity across the globe in congratulating Chelsea Football Club for lifting the coveted English Premier League crown after a topsy- turvy season. When Chelsea suffered losses to Premiership rivals, particularly Liverpool (at home) and Arsenal (away), every football fan
After arriving at St James’ Park for a hefty fee of £13m in the summer of 2015, there were high expectations resting upon Aleksandar Mitrovic’s shoulders. The Serbian had been prolific for former club R.S.C Anderlecht, netting 44 times in 90 appearances in all competitions, prompting then-Newcastle-manager Steve McClaren to fork out for the striker
Left-back. It’s a phrase no Liverpool fan has liked hearing for years. A problem position for as long as the Kop can remember in recent history, the Reds resorted to simply fielding a midfielder in that position last season. James Milner did as good a job as anyone could have expected but, with Alberto Moreno
Jose Mourinho is set to make a £50 million bid for Alexandre Lacazette, according to the Daily Mirror. The news emerges from Old Trafford in light of Atletico Madrid’s transfer ban being upheld. It means that United’s priority target, Antoine Griezmann, is unlikely to leave – United would have to meet his transfer clause of
Arsenal signed the young Nigerian striker, Henry Onyekuru, for £6.8 million recently. The Gunners have reportedly beaten a number of clubs to land his signature. Henry Onyekuru will be the first of more to come. Personal terms have not been decided upon yet. However, the Nigerian starlet seems enthusiastic about moving to the English Premier
Arsene Wenger will remain at Arsenal for another two years. The next two years gives the Frenchman a chance to define his legacy at Arsenal: will it be a history of success turned to mediocrity, or a triumphant revival? If it is to be the latter, he needs to seriously strengthen his squad. Here are
After the announcement last November that Irish goalscoring legend Robbie Keane would be leaving Los Angeles Galaxy at the end of the previous Major League Soccer season in December, perhaps the initial thought process for Keane would be to decide on hanging up his boots on an outstanding career. Not a chance! The former Republic
He moved his head slowly from left to right. Then right to left. Right, left, right, left; he slowly repeated the motions smiling as he watched the glinting line shimmer across the lustrous surfaces. He loved the way the line sunk as it crossed over the letters that were etched into the silver surfaces of
Riyad Mahrez stunned Leicester City fans on Tuesday afternoon - releasing a statement outlining his intention to leave the club, according to BBC Sport. The Algerian has been linked with a Leicester exit ever since winning the Player of the Year award and helping the Foxes secure the Premier League title in 2016. Now, however,
The #wengerout hashtag is illuminating to say the least. In the aftermath of Arsene Wenger signing a 2-year contract extension to remain at Arsenal through to 2019, it has exploded once again with a number of fans expressing their anger at the direction their club is going. The tweets range from detailed analysis of Wenger
Manchester United have had a successful season as a result of winning the Europa League and with that, qualifying for the Champions League. No doubt there will be much activity in terms of personnel at Old Trafford this summer. But who looks most likely to leave? Here is a list of 5 players. Wayne
Manchester City have wasted little time in improving their team following Pep Guardiola’s first ever trophyless campaign as a coach with the club’s summer spending bonanza having already begun in earnest. Bernardo Silva arrived on Friday for a fee believed to be in the region of £45-50 million and Benjamin Mendy is expected to follow
