Sergio Aguero Tips Arsenal To Challenge Man City and Liverpool For The Premier League Title
In a recent interview Sergio Aguero has made the bold prediction of Arsenal to challenge Manchester City and Liverpool for the Premier League title. Looking back to the 21/22 season, Arsenal just missed out on Top 4 to their London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Moving into the new season they have strengthened their squad and will be looking to solidify that Top 4 spot. Taking two players from City, Jesus and Zinchenko as well as signing winger Marquinos, Arsenal have really bolstered their attack for the upcoming season. In terms of last season for Liverpool and City it was total domination with City clinching the title on the last day of the season and Liverpool having an 18 point gap to third place Chelsea. City and Liverpool are expected to carry on in the same fashion with the help of the...
Carney Chukwuemeka signs for Chelsea from Aston Villa for £20m
Chelsea have signed exciting academy prospect Carney Chukwuemeka from Aston Villa for a reported fee of £20m. The 18-year-old has signed a six-year deal at Chelsea, after refusing to sign a new contract at Villa. Chukwuemeka starred in England’s Under-19 European Championship glory in July, as he played a vital part in the youngsters lifting the Euro trophy.

Players and staff across all 20 Premier League teams will receive mandatory sexual consent training. In the wake of several high-profile cases of sexual misconduct involving players from England’s top-flight, the league are eager to tackle the issue with growing fears over the culture among professionals. Several meetings between the Premier League and campaign groups End Violence for Women, the Three Hijabis and Level Up back in June began the initial discussion, with all parties keen to address a growing concern over ‘gender-based violence’. “Today’s announcement is a long overdue and important first step in the right direction,” said End Violence Against Women Coalition director Andrea Simon. “Gender-based violence is a pervasive and systemic issue that must be addressed across the foot...

West Ham Agree Deal To Sign Highly Rated Lille Midfielder Amadou Onana
West Ham United have agreed a fee of £33.5m (40m euros) plus add ons to sign Amadou Onana from French side Lille. David Moyes has been looking to bolster his squad ahead of their second consecutive season playing European football. They’ll be facing either Viborg of Denmark or B36 Tórshavn of the Faroe Islands in the UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round. Onana should be a Hammers player by the time their Europe campaign gets underway, where he’ll join the likes of fellow former Ligue 1 players in Nayef Aguerd (Rennes) and Alphonse Areola (PSG). Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca also signed for the London side last week. The 20-year-old Belgian has come out of nowhere, becoming one of Ligue 1’s most wanted young talents, with Everton also interested in him. Liverpool manager Jurgen ...
Man United Fan Fuming With Dean Henderson ‘Wasted 12 Months’ Comment
Nottingham Forest new loanee, Dean Henderson, has discussed the frustration he felt last season after failed promises and lack of action at Manchester United. After a successful loan spell at Sheffield United, Henderson looked likely to be a realistic challenger for David De Gea’s number one spot at Old Trafford. Unfortunately for the ‘keeper, he never seemed to get a fair shot at taking over the reins between the sticks. Speaking with TalkSPORT, Henderson spoke about how he was promised the number one shirt after impressing in the 2020/21 season. “Nobody followed through with anything they told me. I turned many loans down.” “Wasting 12 months is criminal at my age.” Dean Henderson hits out at #MUFC in an exclusive interview with talkSPORT. 🚨 Everyone is talking about th...
Napoli President Pledges to Never Sign an African Player Again Unless They Skip the AFCON
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis launched into an extraordinary rant over some of the club’s key absentees during the Africa Cup of Nations last season, vowing to never sign a player from the continent again unless they agree not to play in the competition. The Italian film producer could not hide his frustration at having to release players for several weeks to accommodate their participation in the biannual tournament. Kalidou Koulibaly, now of Chelsea, and Andre Zambo Anguissa represented Senegal and Cameroon respectively and thus missed out on a string of Serie A fixtures at the start of 2022. Their main target man Victor Osimhen would also have likely made the trip had it not been for a COVID infection. “I told them, lads, don’t talk to me about Africans anymore. “I love th...
