[ad_1] Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti that admitted that the door is open with no hard feelings for any fringe players that wish to the leave the club in the January transfer window. Ancelotti has favoured a relatively settled side so far this season, with 11 members of the squad getting over 1,200 minutes in all competitions. But there are also a handful of big names who have had 500 minutes or less and could be forgiven for growing frustrated. The boss recently explained that new signings in January are not to be expected. But when it comes to potential outgoings, Real are open toRead More →

[ad_1] Arsenal have made another offer to Shakhtar Donetsk for Ukraine winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, sources have told 90min. The Gunners are intent on signing the 21-year-old as Mikel Arteta soughts to add depth and quality to an already fruitful frontline this season. 90min recently reported that Arsenal had made an opening offer of roughly €60m for Mudryk, but this was rejected by Shakhtar. Arsenal have now upped that offer by a further €10m, but this is still short of Shakhtar’s €90m asking price – a value in-part determined by Antony’s move from Ajax to Manchester United for a similar fee. While the Gunners are confidentRead More →

Attacking midfielder Mac Allister enjoyed a strong first half of the season for Brighton, before then going on to play a big role in Argentina’s World Cup triumph.

[ad_1] Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has warned the Blues must accept the reality of their situation as they battle to stop the major slump that has plagued the early months of Graham Potter’s time in charge. After an initially bright start, Potter’s Chelsea have fallen down to eighth in the table – behind local rivals Fulham – and have won just one of their last eight domestic games. That run could get worse before it gets better as Manchester City travel to Stamford Bridge on Thursday. The latest poor performance from Chelsea was Sunday’s catastrophic 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest, in which the Blues wereRead More →

[ad_1] Jurgen Klopp has warned Liverpool fans not to expect much more from the Reds in the January transfer window, but refused to rule out making a move if the right deal arises. Liverpool moved early to snap up Dutch star Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven, parting with an initial £37m to fend off competition from the likes of Manchester United, who had been expected to win the race for the 23-year-old. Asked whether fans can expect more business from Liverpool, Klopp left the door open but made a point of highlighting the Reds’ conservative record when it comes to past windows. “I am nowRead More →

[ad_1] Casemiro has backed Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford to become one of the best players in the world after admitting he had no idea how good the England international actually is. The two players linked up this summer as Casemiro swapped Real Madrid for United, where he has watched Rashford rediscover his best form to the tune of 11 goals and four assists in all competitions this season, on top of three goals at the World Cup. Rashford’s latest strike came as United saw off Wolves 1-0 at the weekend – a game in which the forward actually started on the bench after heRead More →

[ad_1] Graham Potter’s poor start at Chelsea got even poorer on the first day of 2023 as his team drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest, and frankly didn’t deserve much more from the game. They now sit down in eighth in the Premier League, seven points off a top-four spot having won just one of their last seven league games. As a result, many are starting to wonder whether Potter is the right man for the job, but Todd Boehly would be wise to make changes on the pitch before switching managers again. Whether sacking Thomas Tuchel was a good decision on the American owner’s partRead More →

[ad_1] Graham Potter has admitted that Chelsea’s second half performance ‘wasn’t good enough’ after the Blues drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. The Blues were firmly in control of the game in the first 45, taking a one goal lead thanks to Raheem Sterling and generally keeping hold of the ball well. In the second half, however, Chelsea’s levels dropped significantly allowing Forest to come back into the game and eventually – deservedly – bagged themselves an equaliser in the 63rd minute through Serge Aurier. Speaking at the press after the game, Potter lamented the lack of pace and energy about Chelsea’sRead More →
