Recently taken-over Newcastle United are hoping to hijack the transfer of Dusan Vlahovic from their Premier League as they look to compete with the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham in their bid to secure the services of the Fiorentina striker, a deal that could set them back by 100 million pounds. Veteran Chelsea defenders Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta have reportedly on the move, and have instructed their agents to find new clubs for them in the January transfer window. The club can potenially face another exit, with contract talks with in-form centre-back Antonio Rudiger not progressing as well as the Blues would have…

Los Blancos have recorded six cases of the dreaded virus amongst their staff and players, including Gareth Bale, Rodrygo and Marco Asensio, who will not be available for selection for the period of their recovery. An interesting outcome of the non-postponement of the game could be the return of ex-Chelsea man Eden Hazard, who has had a torrid time since moving to Real Madrid in a 140 million pounds deal in 2019. Due to his bad form, the Belgian has been restricted to the bench under previous managers and even current head coach Carlo Ancelotti. The game against Cadiz could give the Belgian a chance…

A major revelation from a senior BCCI official has divulged that India’s tour of South Africa might be the final chapter in the international careers of three of their most senior players, should they fail to make a significant impact, as per a report from The Indian Express. The 33-year old Sharma, who has had a bit of a dry run in recent times, is likely to be replaced by the many younger pacers who are making waves in the domestic circuit. He was unable to take a single wicket in the First Test against New Zealand before getting injured, rendering him incapable…

A dramatic collapse of the English batting order, brought forth by the wily Nathan Lyon, meant that the Aussies romped home to a dominant victory in the first Ashes Test at The Gabba in Brisbane. England, who were in a commanding position at the time of stumps on Day 3, as Malan and Root posted an unbeaten 159-run stand, had a miserable first session, which ultimately led to a demoralising defeat. Coming into Day 4, England would have hoped that Dawid Malan and captain Joe Root, both batting in their 80s, would carry on the good work, and give them a fighting chance…

A massive Covid-19 outbreak at Tottenham Hotspur has led to the rescheduling of their Premier League encounter against Brighton and Hove Albion initially set to take place on Sunday. Five staffers, in addition to eight of the North London club’s players, have been confirmed to have contracted the virus. This also meant that their Europa Conference League game against Rennes was forcibly put off, something that the French club was not pleased about. Tottenham’s request to postpone their game at The Amex was accepted by the Premier League authorities on December 9. Spurs released an official statement regarding the situation that…

Former Tottenham Hotspur player turned TV pundit Jamie O’Hara has expressed his rather unflattering opinion about Chelsea’s second-choice goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, saying that Chelsea do not stand a chance to win the Premier League with the Spaniard in goal. O’Hara pointed out that the former Athletic Bilbao custodian is prone to errors, and does not provide a stable option that is essential for any club that has intentions of winning what is perhaps the toughest league in the world. Credit: Getty Images Arrizabalaga signed for Chelsea in 2018 for a record fee for a goalkeeper, as he set the Roman Abramovich-owned club a staggering 72…

Signed by the Colochoneros for a massive fee of €100 million back in 2019, Joao Felix hasn’t been able to live up to the hype and could leave Atletico, with Liverpool leading the race to secure Felix’s signature, should the deal materialise. The Reds are understood to be very much interested in securing the services of the forward, if the two clubs can reach any sort of agreement. The former Benfica striker, who, a couple of years ago, was touted to be the next big thing in world football, has been unable to perform as per expectations, and there is…

Reports have emerged that PSG midfielder, Georginio Wijnaldum could potentially make a return to the Premier League during the January transfer window, after making the move to PSG on a free transfer from Liverpool before the start of the 2021/22 season. The Dutchman is understood to be open to a loan move after failing to make the desired impact at the French club. PSG are spoilt for choices in midfield, with Wijnaldum competing for a spot with Marco Verratti, Leandro Paredes, Ander Herrera, Idrissa Gueye, and Danilo Pereira. Wijnaldum had earlier expressed his unhappiness with the current situation at PSG, as he had admitted that he…

Multiple reports have suggested that Newcastle United, who were recently acquired by a Saudi-led consortium, are planning to make a record transfer move to sign Atletico Madrid right-back Kieran Trippier. It has also probable that the transfer would make Trippier the highest-paid Newcastle United player in history, in a deal that could see the Englishman earn a whopping £150,000 per week in wages. Trippier was heavily linked with a move back to the Premier League back in the summer, after Atletico’s La Liga victory, with Manchester United showing a lot of interest to secure his services. However, United were unable to meet…
