Newcastle were waiting for Kuol to complete his international duty with Australia this month before finalising the deal.

[ad_1] Former Premier League winner and England international Fabian Delph has announced his retirement from football at the age of 32. The ex-midfielder was released by Everton at the end of last season and was a free agent heading into the 2022/23 campaign. But Delph confirmed on Tuesday that he is hanging his boots up for good after 16 years in the professional game. “So today I announce my retirement with nothing but happiness and gratitude for what this beautiful game has given me.

[ad_1] Harry Maguire waited in the Wembley tunnel for two hours to speak to manager Gareth Southgate following another disastrous performance in England’s 3-3 Nations League draw with Germany. The central defender, who has come under heavy scrutiny for his performances for Manchester United in recent years, gave away a penalty for Germany’s opening goal before giving the ball away for another with a careless pass. It is the latest in a series of lows for the 29-year-old, with his place in future England squads now looking in jeopardy despite excellent performances at the 2018 World Cup and Euro 2020. With Southgate unlikely to meetRead More →

[ad_1] Legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has named his top five currently active shot-stoppers, with Thibaut Courtois sitting at the top of the list. Widely considered to be one of the best goalkeepers of all time, Buffon was asked to name his top five keepers while in attendance at the Festival dello Sport, an event run by Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport.

[ad_1] Jesper Lindstrom has described himself as ‘insanely happy’ to be linked with a transfer to Arsenal, describing it is a ‘huge confidence boost’ that proves he is doing things right at Eintracht Frankfurt. A recent report in Germany claimed that Lindstrom, who joined Frankfurt in 2021 and helped the club win the Europa League last season, is attracting interest from the Gunners. Although the 22-year-old Denmark international insists there has been no contact from Arsenal and he is solely focused on Frankfurt, he has admitted he is flattered by the attention. “It’s a huge confidence boost. It is one of the biggest things as aRead More →

[ad_1] Juventus midfielder Leandro Paredes has admitted he ‘didn’t have a relationship’ with Kylian Mbappe during their time together at Paris Saint-Germain. The 28-year-old spent three years playing alongside Mbappe for the French champions, but is spending this season on loan at Juve in a bid to earn more playing time before the World Cup. Mbappe has long been rumoured to be a divisive figure in the PSG dressing room, with Brazil forward Neymar among the detractors of the 23-year-old Frenchman. “I am not the one to talk about him. I had a connection with the ones I had a relationship with,” Paredes told ESPNRead More →

[ad_1] The first half of Monday evening’s meeting between England and Germany was alright. Gareth Southgate’s men were nothing special, but there was at least a much-needed sight of some creative desire. The problem was, however, that there was still the obvious fear of conceding goals and losing games which held them back. Southgate’s side has built itself around being tough to beat. Their recent success revolved around their defence, but that mystique has crumbled this summer. England failed to win any of their six Nations League games and were deservedly relegated from the competition’s top tier. And yet, the final feeling stemming from theRead More →

[ad_1] Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has been back in training with the teammates who remained during the international break as he steps up his recovery from a knee injury. The Senegal international was rested for the final game of the Thomas Tuchel era against Dinamo Zagreb before being left out completely in Graham Potter’s debut as a result of the issue, which he is understood to have picked up in the 2-1 win over West Ham at the start of the month. Kepa Arrizabalaga has stepped in to replace Mendy in the past two games but Potter is now expected to have the option toRead More →

[ad_1] Belgium international Jason Denayer has opted against moving back to the Premier League and has agreed a move to the United Arab Emirates, 90min understands. The 27-year-old has just spent the international window with Belgium, with Roberto Martinez calling him up for the games against The Netherlands and Wales, despite being a free agent. Denayer has been without a club since leaving Lyon in the summer and he has not been short of suitors, but he has decided to move to the Middle East instead of continuing his career in Europe as expected. He has now flown to Dubai where he has agreed termsRead More →

[ad_1] Gareth Southgate refused to pin any blame on Harry Maguire or Nick Pope after their costly mistakes in England’s 3-3 Nations League draw with Germany. Manchester United defender Maguire was booed by fans when his name was read out and a moment of madness saw him give the ball straight to Jamal Musiala and then foul him in the penalty area. Ilkay Gundogan put away the resulting spot kick before Kai Havertz made it 2-0, but a stirring comeback from the Three Lions saw them go 3-2 up thanks to strikes from Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Harry Kane. However, Nick Pope then madeRead More →
