The addition of a new striker, centre-back and centre-midfielder are among their priorities and they are understood to be targeting PSG star .

Andy Cole says he fears for the next England manager after Gareth Southgate received unfair criticism at Euro 2024.

reached their second European Championship final in a row but like what happened against Italy three years ago, Southgate s side could not get over the line.

They improved in the latter stages of the tournament, overcoming Switzerland on penalties in the quarter-final and Netherlands in 90 minutes in the last four.

The likes of Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane failing to replicate their club form saw Southgate recei…

Ivan Toney reportedly likes the prospect of joining Tottenham, as he s desperate to have the opportunity to challenge for European silverware, and is also keen on staying in London.

Toney has been linked with essentially every big club in England over the past couple of years. That he bagged 20 Premier League goals in 2022/23 did no harm to his chances of gaining a transfer.

A return of four goals in 17 games last season after returning from a ban was not the best, but an assist to help England into the Euro quarter-finals helped to stoke the fire yet again.

Links to big sides such as Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal remain, and it appears Toney himself has chosen the former.

Erik ten Hag s side are desperate to bring in a new midfielder after completing the signings Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich.

Despite being on the brink of losing his job in May, Ten Hag is now being backed by the club s new co-owner Ratcliffe, who has invested £88million with another £60m to be paid to Bayern for Mazraoui and De Ligt.

It is a big display of faith from the British billionaire, who …

Man City will be found guilty and face a massive points deduction from the Premier League, according beIN Sports pundit Andy Gray,

An independent commission is set to rule on the 115 charges facing the Citizens at some stage during the season ahead, with The Times reporting earlier this month that the hearing could begin as early as mid-September.

but they were unable to sign a new striker as they missed out on Osimhen.

The Nigeria international has established himself as one of the best strikers in Europe and Napoli priced him out of a move elsewhere in recent seasons.

However, Napoli were open to letting him go in the summer as he was pushing for a move and they have signed Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea as a replacement.

In the summer, Osimhen had a release clause of around £110m in his contract. Despite this, Napoli s asking price decreased as the transfer…

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has claimed that Arsenal are gaining an advantage over opponents through goalkeeper David Raya.

after Mikel Arteta s side had played the whole of the second half with ten men.

With up against it for much of the second half, Arteta s men did as much as possible to disrupt and delay Man City with the Gunners time-wasting at every opportunity.

That brought some needle to the surface and intensified a growing rivalry but Akanji is confident his side will ultimately have the final say.

When ssked if Arsenal had mastered the game’s ‘dark arts’, Man City defender Manuel Akanji said: Yes, I don’t think there are many better than them at it, but in the end we always won the title and I don’t think it’s going to be di…

Best Receiving Props to Bet for Divisional Round Playoffs

1) Travis Kelce over 6.5 receptions (-148); risk 1 unit at FanDuel Sportsbook

In his previous four games prior to the playoffs, he had games of 6, 7, 6 and 10 catches. This total of 6.5 receptions falls right in line with his performances in the final weeks of the regular season.

Now last week, the Chiefs faced a Jaguars team that was terrible at defending the middle of the field against tight ends. That won t be…

Starting with the Jordan Love leg, the Packers QB has gone over 200 passing yards in three of four games this season and is averaging 225.3 passing yards per game. With the news of Aaron Jones being out tonight, I expect this will force Green Bay to be a little more pass-heavy. AJ Dillon is averaging just 2.7 yards per carry and Matt LaFleur is no stranger to using the short/quick passing game to supplement a rushing attack.

Continuing with that mindset,…
