Chelsea have progressed in their negotiations to try and sign Leicester City centre-back Wesley Fofana, multiple sources report. Moreover, the club agreed to pay Inter Milan a considerable fee to sign young talent Cesare Casadei – who will travel to London for medical tests in the coming days. According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea and Fofana have agreed personal terms, but the accord between the two clubs is yet to be reached. The 21-year-old penned a five-year contract at the King Power in March, so that the Foxes would only consider selling him for a world record fee. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1559562402521300995 Chelsea will…

It promised to be a glorious night for Hellas Verona when forward Kevin Lasagna put them ahead a minute before the half-hour mark against Luciano Spalletti’s new-look Napoli. While the Partenopei seemed lost early on without the reliable Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne – both of whom have left the club – things began to click soon after the Verona opener. New signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia proved his credentials when he scored his and Napoli’s first of the season: a header off a Hirving Lozano cross in the 37th minute.

Alvaro Morata returned home from a two-year loan stay at Juventus and was immediately the talk of the town when he scored a double in Atletico Madrid’s Monday night win over Getafe in their season opener. Joao Felix, like Morata, starred for the Rojiblancos, as he created all three of their goals on the night. The first from a simple touch into the path of the Spanish forward, who wrapped his foot around the ball and curled it past David Soria from outside the box. https://twitter.com/OptaJose/status/1559258290168668160 However, Felix’s second assist of the game was something his coach Diego Simeone must have been proud of.…
Darwin Nunez’s second-half red card nearly cost Liverpool dearly. But, Jurgen Klopp’s men came from a goal and a man down to steal a point off Crystal Palace, who led through Wilfried Zaha’s early goal. A superb second-half showing against Manchester City and Fulham earned Nunez his first start for Liverpool. The forward went close too, at both ends of the first half, blazing over on the first occasion from close range and failing to get his shot away in time on the second. Sandwiched between Nunez’s two chances was Crystal Palace’s opener, scored by Wilfried Zaha but created out of thin…
Thomas Tuchel slammed the officiating in Chelsea’s draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday night. The German claimed referee Anthony Taylor and his team allowed two goals to stand wrongfully in a 2-2 result. Chelsea led twice but were pegged back by Spurs on both occasions, both the equalizers shrouded with controversy and accompanied by a brawl on the touchline. Tuchel, in his post-match interview, called out the officials for allowing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur to escape unpunished despite several tactical fouls. The German also pointed towards Richarlison interfering play from an offside position for Spurs’ equalizer and Cristian Romero dodging a red card…
Lucas Vazquez and David Alaba struck in the second half as Real Madrid sealed a come-from-behind victory over newly promoted Almeria in the first game of their title defence. Almeria, who, in the sixth minute, stunned the behemoths by taking the lead in front of a packed home stadium. Ex-Manchester United kid Largie Ramazani opened the scoring on the night, timing his run to perfection beyond the Real backline before confidently finishing past Thibaut Courtois. Credit: AFP There was a stroke of luck about Real Madrid’s equalizer – which arrived a minute past the hour-mark. After Vinicius Jr had his initial shot saved by Fernando Martinez,…
Harry Kane’s 96th-minute equalizer helped Tottenham steal a point at Stamford Bridge – and ensured a controversial finish to a feisty encounter. Elsewhere, Premier League returnees Nottingham Forest beat West Ham United at home. The first “big” game of the 2022/23 season saw Chelsea welcome local rivals Spurs to Stamford Bridge with the former Blues manager Antonio Conte in the opposition dugout. The two teams lined up in identical shapes, but Thomas Tuchel’s minor tactical tweaks – such as playing Reece James as the right centre-back and Ruben Loftus-Cheek as the right-wingback – made the difference in a game utterly dominated by his side. Chelsea took the lead…
Mikel Arteta might have to face the sack if Arsenal fail to qualify for the UEFA Champions League this season, says the former club captain William Gallas. The Gunners finished fifth in the Premier League last season, narrowly missing out on the top four spots. Credit: Sky Sports Former club captain Gallas has laid down a warning to the Spaniard that another season out of Europe’s top tier, that, too, after spending an exorbitant amount of money in the transfer market, will cost him his job. The Frenchman believes that his former team must have a great season and that…
