Former Tottenham midfielder Rafael Van der Vaart is of the opinion that Chelsea’s winger Hakim Ziyech could be a massive fit for Spurs instead. Ziyech’s 33.3 million pounds transfer from AFC Ajax to Chelsea in 2020 hasn’t worked out well for the Moroccan winger. The Algeria international has failed to make an impact at Stamford Bridge and is yet to cement his place in the starting XI for the Blues. The start to the current season has also been tricky and complicated for the 29-year-old, who has started just one match for Chelsea. He had made 39 appearances for Chelsea in 2020/21,…

Receiving a darting pass from Lionel Messi, the Frenchman ghosted past two defenders and cut…

Both Bayern Munich and Liverpool looked comfortable in their home UEFA Champions League 2022/23 group stage outings against Inter and Napoli respectively. The Bundesliga champions have completed a perfect group stage campaign winning all six of their matches after putting Internazionale to the sword once again and securing a 2-0 victory at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski propped up with a goal in the added time of the contest to secure all three points against Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium.
