Sky Sports, via the Daily Express, reports that Cole Palmer could be receptive to a return to Manchester with Manchester United, amid claims the attacker has been feeling homesick since relocating to London. The 23-year-old, born in Wythenshawe and a boyhood United fan, rose through Manchester City’s academy before joining Chelsea in 2023 for £45 million — a figure that now looks like a bargain in light of his rapid rise. Palmer wasted little time establishing himself as one of the game’s elite attacking midfielders. In his debut Premier League campaign at Chelsea, he delivered an outstanding return of 22…
Moises Caicedo proved decisive as Chelsea edged past Pafos with a slender 1-0 victory on Wednesday evening. Chelsea thought they had taken an early lead through Enzo Fernandez’s header, but the goal was ruled out after the Argentine was penalised for a foul on Ken Sema in the build-up. Pafos went close in the first half when Jaja’s effort deflected off Reece James and struck the post. Chelsea dominated after the break, yet Pafos goalkeeper Jay Gorter produced a series of fine saves before finally being beaten by Caicedo’s headed winner with 12 minutes left. Below are Bobby Vincent’s player…
Julian Alvarez is said to be open to a Premier League return after Chelsea reportedly expressed interest in signing the Atletico Madrid attacker. The Argentine has thrived since moving to Madrid in 2024 for £82 million, scoring 29 goals in his debut season and adding a further 11 so far this term. Although the 25-year-old is settled at Atletico, his ambition to continue competing for major honours following his departure from Manchester City — where he won the Premier League twice — has yet to be fulfilled under Diego Simeone. Atletico ended last season in third place in La Liga…
Micky van de Ven (Tottenham) With Marc Guehi now off the market after completing a move to Manchester City, a number of centre-backs are expected to be linked with Liverpool ahead of the summer window, when the club is likely to strengthen in that area. The Daily Mail reports that Tottenham and Netherlands defender Micky van de Ven is among the names being considered, with Liverpool potentially testing Spurs’ determination to retain the 24-year-old once the season concludes. Van de Ven had previously been on Liverpool’s radar before joining Tottenham. Despite being tied down to a contract running until 2029,…
Mohamed Salah marked his return to Liverpool action on Wednesday, but it was Dominik Szoboszlai who emerged as the standout performer as Arne Slot’s side moved closer to automatic qualification for the Champions League last 16 with an emphatic 3-0 victory in Marseille. Much of the pre-match focus was on Salah’s first start since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, as well as his much-discussed clash with Slot back in December, yet the Egyptian endured a largely disappointing evening. Liverpool, however, delivered one of their most convincing all-round displays in recent months, with Szoboszlai playing a central role. The…
The Italian forward was listed among Arne Slot’s nine substitutes when Liverpool’s starting line-up was revealed 75 minutes before kick-off, with the main talking point being Mo Salah’s return to the XI for the first time in eight weeks. Although the 28-year-old has featured as a substitute in three European games this season, he will not be increasing that number at the Stade Velodrome. Chiesa suffers injury during warm-up in Marseille Less than ten minutes after the match began, news emerged that Chiesa had been injured during the warm-up. Sky Sports reporter Vinny O’Connor relayed the update via the broadcaster’s…
Mamadou Sarr’s rise from squad understudy to continental champion unfolded in extraordinary circumstances after Kalidou Koulibaly’s injury at the Africa Cup of Nations handed the young defender an unexpected chance. The 20-year-old centre-back, currently on loan at Strasbourg from Chelsea, grasped the moment and played a key role in Senegal’s march to AFCON glory. Sarr’s senior international story only began in November, when he made his debut for Senegal in an emphatic 8–0 friendly win over Kenya. His assured performance left a strong impression on head coach Pape Thiaw, who subsequently included him in the AFCON squad, convinced of his…
