Report: Liverpool and Chelsea keen on Reading winger Michael Olise
According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool and Chelsea have joined a host of suitors in the race for Reading winger Michael Olise, and they are both currently running the rule over the youngster. Leeds United, Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers were all linked with the teenager during the summer transfer window, but none made a concrete move for his signature and he will remain at the English Championship club until at least January. Olise came through the youth systems at Chelsea and Manchester City, and he could be edging closer to a return to the top-flight having caught the eyes of the bigwigs. The France under-18 international is one of the reasons why Reading are currently topping the Championship table after nine games, and whether he can help them with a promotion push remains to be seen wi...

Roy Keane showers praise on Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey
Former Manchester United skipper turned popular football pundit Roy Keane has showered praise on Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey following his impressive performance against Manchester United on Sunday. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a second-half penalty to give the Gunners their first Premier League away win over Manchester United in 14 years. Although it was a lacklustre encounter from both sides, the Sky Sports pundit panel were impressed with the performance of Partey, who played a huge role in Arsenal’s pressing game at Old Trafford. What Roy Keane said on Sky Sports: “He was outstanding. He’s obviously no mug having played in big games. When you watch a player live that’s when you can judge a player and the more I look at him the more I wish he was in the United midfield. H...
Football & Face Coverings
Aeons before COVID-19 turned football’s sidelines into a scene reminiscent of an emergency room, fans of the sport had already observed an array of face coverings and masks adopted for a multitude of practical and celebratory purposes. Whether it was to protect a facial injury, to promulgate a culture, or to revel in victory, the sport has seen its fair share of visors and vizards of all shapes and sizes throughout the years. Football is probably not the first sport that comes to mind when you think about facial protection. Sports like fencing and ice hockey share a much more apparent and continuous threat to the face and head. Though the threat may not be as immediately obvious in football, head injuries do occur with some regularity. Professionals have often turned to protective medical ...
Top 5 signings that have impressed so far
The transfer window saw some very big signings arrive in the Premier League. Whilst some have yet to settle in England, let’s take a look at those who have hit the ground running. There is no doubt that the signing of the Columbian superstar from Real Madrid was a huge coup for Everton. The 29-year-old had fallen out of favour at Real Madrid so he decided to link up with Ancelotti for the third time in his career. The signing was met with both excitement and scepticism by the footballing world. His talent was obvious but could he make it in the Premier League? Well, James Rodriguez has answered that one quite clearly. The midfielder has experienced an incredible start at Everton, scoring 3 and assisting 4 in 7 games. His influence spreads further than just some goals, as he has propelled E...

Arthur Masuaku posts tweet after West Ham’s defeat to Liverpool
West Ham United left-back Arthur Masuaku has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to his side’s failure to win against Liverpool on Saturday evening. The Hammers suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of Liverpool away from home at Anfield in the Premier League. David Moyes’s side took the lead after just 10 minutes when Pablo Fornals produced a smart finish. Mohamed Salah equalised for the defending Premier League champions in the 42nd minute from the penalty spot. Masuaku was controversially adjudged to have committed a foul on the Egypt international forward inside the West Ham penalty box. Liverpool thought that they had taken the lead in the second half when Diogo Jota had the ball in the back of the net, but it was ruled out due to Sadio Mane’s foul on Angelo Ogbonna. The former Wolverham...
Liverpool players react to Premier League win vs West Ham on Twitter
Liverpool go top of the Premier League table with a hard-earned 2-1 victory against West Ham United on Saturday at Anfield. The Reds came from behind to seal all three points, with summer signing Diogo Jota scoring for the third straight game. The Hammers – who were undefeated in their last four Premier League games prior to their visit to Anfield – took an early lead through Spanish midfielder Pablo Fornals, taking full advantage of a poor headed clearance by Joe Gomez. Liverpool restored parity shortly before the break. Arthur Masuaku committed a foul on Mohamed Salah (which David Moyes interpreted as a dive from the Egyptian after the match) that allowed the Reds talisman to equalise from the penalty spot. With five minutes remaining from the normal time, Jota found the n...
Liverpool not keen on a £70million move for Kalidou Koulibaly
Liverpool have been linked with quite a few defenders recently but it seems that the Reds are unlikely to shell out big money for a centre back during the January transfer window. Virgil van Dijk sustained a serious knee injury against Everton earlier in the season and he is set to be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Earlier this summer there were rumours that Liverpool could move for the Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly. According to latest reports from 90min, Liverpool have now ruled out a £70 million move to sign the Senegalese defender. Liverpool are still looking to bring in a defender to add some depth to their position but they will not spend big money on Koulibaly. The likes of Ozan Kabak and Dayot Upamecano have been linked with a move to Liverpool as well and it will b...
Jan Vertonghen thinks Pochettino could be interested in joining Manchester United
Former Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has claimed that Mauricio Pochettino will be impatient about getting back to management again. The Argentine manager has been out of work for a while now and the Belgian defender reckons that he might be keen on returning to the Premier League if the top clubs come calling. Jan Vertonghen added that there are probably two or three clubs that can convince Pochettino to return to the Premier League and it will be interesting to see where the Argentine ends up. He said to Mirror: “I think the English league suits him very well as he’s a manager that prioritises fitness levels and the physicality of the game. “I think managing in the Premier League is probably the best thing he can do. “He will always want to coach a big team I guess, so you have t...

Manchester United vs ArsenalPremier League 2020/211st November, 16:30 pm BSTOld Trafford, ManchesterLive Stream: BT Sport Manchester United host Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday and they will be hoping to pick up a morale-boosting win over the Gunners. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team have started the season in poor form and they will be under pressure to pick up all three points here. Manchester United have picked up just seven points from five League games and that is simply not good enough for a club of their stature. The Red Devils should be challenging for the Premier League title and other Cup competitions every year but they have been underwhelming for a while now. After the backing they have received in the transfer market over the years, Manchester United should be challenging f...
