[ad_1] Alexis Mac Allister is ready to leave Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer, 90min understands, with a whole host of Premier League sides interested in the Argentine.

[ad_1] Arsenal are struggling to agree the terms of a professional contract with 15-year-old midfielder Ethan Nwaneri, 90min can confirm, with Chelsea pushing hardest to lure the teenager away. Nwaneri is regarded as one of English football’s brightest prospects and shattered the record for the youngest player in Premier League history when he came on for Mikel Arteta’s side at the age of 15 years and 181 days earlier this season. The Gunners have been working to strike a deal with Nwaneri over a senior contract but sources have confirmed to 90min that those negotations with Nwaneri have made very little progress, sparking significant interestRead More →

[ad_1] Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho will miss the club’s upcoming fixtures and has had to pull out of the Argentina squad for this month’s international as a result of the injury he sustained during Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Southampton. A second half substitute, Garnacho was on the receiving end of a clean but forceful tackle from Saints full-back Kyle Walker-Peters and later left the pitch in stoppage time. The 18-year-old was seen afterwards walking with crutches and wearing a protective boot. Now, Garnacho has taken to social media to confirm that he won’t be able to play for at least the next few weeksRead More →

[ad_1] It’s no surprise that former Spain, Real Madrid and Europa League-winning coach Julen Lopetegui has facilitated a distinct improvement at Molineux after succeeding Bruno Lage as Wolves manager. The Spaniard has returned Wolves to a state of functional efficiency. They’re hardly the most inspiring team the Premier League has to offer, but they’re technically proficient and stout enough in defence. Despite scoring just ten goals in 2023, Wolves have accumulated 14 points from ten games – the ninth-best record in the division. This improvement has seen Lopetegui’s side creep up the table, but while many expect them to remain in the top flight nextRead More →

[ad_1] Liverpool have announced ticket prices will be raised at Anfield for the first time in eight years ahead of the 2023/24 season. The Reds had frozen ticket prices at Anfield for the last eight seasons, but will now rise by 2% due to ‘significant rising costs across the club’ – despite recently announcing club record £594.3m revenue during the 2021/22 season. A statement on the news reads: “Ticket prices have been frozen for supporters for the past eight seasons and the freeze will continue for juniors and the local general sale, which will remain at £9 per ticket – one of the cheapest inRead More →

[ad_1] Real Madrid winger Eden Hazard has insisted he still sees himself at the club next season, despite an almost complete lack of playing time so far in 2022/23. Hazard has one more year left on the contract he signed upon completing a €100m transfer from Chelsea in 2019. He has played only 98 minutes in La Liga all season and none at all since September. The 32-year-old has struggled with injury throughout his time in Madrid, but manager Carlo Ancelotti has gone in a completely different direction this season and a fully fit Hazard has spent most games on the bench as an unusedRead More →

[ad_1] Arsenal’s astonishing form during the 2022/23 season has been recognised with a glut of success at the London Football Awards. Manager Mikel Arteta was unsurprisingly named Manager of the Year, while Martin Odegaard was named Premier League Player of the Year. Winger Bukayo Saka, who was of the runners-up to Odegaard in the senior category, took home the Premier League Young Player of the Year award ahead of teammates William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli, and Aaron Ramsdale was named Goalkeeper of the Year. The annual ceremony took place at the Roundhouse in Camden on Monday night, celebrating the very best footballing talent in theRead More →

[ad_1] Real Madrid will look to finish the job in their last 16 second leg clash with Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday night. Los Blancos fell two goals behind at Anfield but rallied to produce a masterful comeback, leaving Merseyside as 5-2 winners to put one foot into the quarter finals. Here’s the side manager Carlo Ancelotti could pick to get his team over the line. GK: Thibaut Courtois – Was the star of the show in last season’s Champions League final, proving his doubters wrong with nine saves. RB: Dani Carvajal – Has had to fight off competition from Lucas Vazquez, Militao,Read More →

[ad_1] Brendan Rodgers said ahead of Leicester’s defeat to Chelsea that keeping the Foxes in the Premier League this season would go down as one of the greatest achievements of his career. That’s a sad indictment of the 2015/16 miracle-workers who seemed poised to break into the so-called ‘Big Six’ not so long ago as they pursued a Champions League berth. Public opinion is beginning to turn against the manager who has overseen four league defeats on the bounce. Leicester’s dire run of form has thrust them back into trouble in the context of relegation, and they’ve got some huge games coming up in theirRead More →

[ad_1] Chelsea have clinched the signing of 17-year-old Jamaica international Dujuan Richards, pipping Newcastle to his signature. The teenager, who made his debut for his country against Trinidad & Tobago last week, agreed terms and signed for Chelsea before his international bow. Richards arrives from the Phoenix Academy and will join up with Chelsea in November when he turns 18. He had spent two weeks on trial with Newcastle before opting for a move to west London. The forward confirmed the deal on his social media, saying: “What a dream come true. When I am 18-years-old I will be able to play in the PremierRead More →
