Romelu Lukaku has hinted that he is intent on staying at Inter beyond the expiration of his current loan move to the club. The Belgian striker is currently on loan at I Nerazzurri for the 2022/23 season from Chelsea, having struggled for form during his return to Stamford Bridge for a reported £97.5m.

But it wasn’t just the defeat that raised questions, it was the embarrassing manner. “There are no words to explainRead More →

Having lost Leah Williamson to long-term injury in the days before the game, adding to an already lengthy injury list, Eidevall set up with a back five in a bid to try and limit what Wolfsburg could do.
