[ad_1] Independiente del Valle general manager Santiago Morales has confirmed Chelsea have agreed to sign 15-year-old Kendry Paez. Paez, seen as one of South America’s most exciting young players, is set to join Chelsea in 2025 in a deal which 90min understands could be worth up to €20m if all bonuses are triggered. “It is something that we have already been talking about on a few occasions, a few months ago. There is a specific interest from Chelsea, it is practically arranged between the parties,” Morales told Studio Futbol on Paez’s future. “Legally we are looking at what can be done, he is a 15-year-old boy, FIFA prohibitsRead More →

[ad_1] Trent Alexander-Arnold’s positional shift has been to key Liverpool’s recent upturn in form, captain Jordan Henderson has admitted. Alexander-Arnold has long been known for his outstanding delivery and range of passing, and has played as a traditional full-back who pushes on down the flank to allow Mohamed Salah to drift inside and provide a real goal threat. The 24-year-old’s ability going forward has never been questioned, but time and again his defensive position has been found wanting. Coupled with Liverpool’s midfield fragility, Jurgen Klopp’s side have dipped well below the levels of performance expected from them and will likely have to settle for aRead More →

[ad_1] Son Heung-min admitted Tottenham’s comeback against Manchester United on Thursday night was fuelled by “anger” from being 2-0 down just days after being mauled 6-1 at Newcastle United. Cristian Stellini’s four-game stint as interim boss ended after Spurs fell 5-0 down at St James’ Park in just 21 minutes, with Ryan Mason asked to take charge of the team until the end of the season in a bid to turn things around. Mason looked on glumly as Spurs fell 2-0 down against United, thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, but a much-improved second half performance saw Spurs claim a 2-2 drawRead More →

[ad_1] FROM TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM – Godspeed to any person responsible for trying to predict patterns from Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Spurs have fallen into complete disarray of late but managed to compartmentalise their recent discretions to earn a credible come-from-behind 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United on Thursday night. After Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford fired the Red Devils into a two-goal lead heading into half-time, interim manager Ryan Mason managed to get quite the tune out of his after the break. Pedro Porro pulled one back for Tottenham and Son Heung-min equalised late on as Tottenham took a well-earned point. Here wereRead More →

[ad_1] The Champions League race in the Premier League looks like it could still have legs as at least three teams fighting over two spots in the top four behind Arsenal and Manchester City. It is turning into a great season all round with the title race, European qualification and the relegation scrap still to be determined heading into the final few games of the season. Newcastle cemented their claim on third place on Thursday night with a thumping 4-1 win over Everton. The Magpies were also helped shortly afterwards when the clash between Manchester United and Tottenham finished in a 2-2 draw. Newcastle haveRead More →

[ad_1] FROM CAMP NOU – Emma Hayes knew it was always going to take something miraculous for Chelsea to topple Barcelona at a roaring Camp Nou and, despite best efforts, fell victim to what can only be described as the greatness of the Catalans. Being such an underdog was not something Chelsea are particularly used to, especially facing off against a team who had recorded 79 consecutive wins at home. And despite the prospective return of Alexia Putellas, left to to wait another day, Barcelona’s sheer depth, control and dominance was too much for Chelsea to grapple with and they bowed out of the ChampionsRead More →

[ad_1] Barcelona have reached a third straight Women’s Champions League final after seeing off Chelsea in a 2-1 aggregate win in the semi-final, with a 1-1 draw in front of 72,000 fans at Camp Nou on Thursday night enough to get the job done. Caroline Graham Hansen’s goals in either leg proved to be the difference in the tie. Fellow Norwegian Guro Reiten pulled one back for Chelsea that made the second leg competitive until the end, but the better team over 180 minutes probably went through in the end. Chelsea set up with five at the back, seemingly with the intention of containing aRead More →

[ad_1] Dimitar Berbatov has revealed it was the chance to play with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez that prompted him to join Manchester United over Manchester City in 2008, explaining there was ‘no comparison’ between the teams. Berbatov had made his name at Bayer Leverkusen, for whom he played in the 2002 UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid, before joining Tottenham in 2006 and quickly establishing himself as one of the best strikers in the Premier League. By 2008, United were looking to add to the squad that had just won the Champions League and Sir Alex Ferguson sawRead More →
