Manchester United have struggled to find a prolific striker capable of successfully overcoming the weight that comes with leading the line at Old Trafford. Without Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcus Rashford, United have had many strikers come and fail. Edinson Cavani, despite seeming at the time to be prolific, scored just 19 goals whereas Antony Martial’s difficulties ended in him leaving the club for nothing. Two years ago, United coughed up £72million to bring Rasmus Hojlund to the club. The then-20-year-old had scored 10 goals for Atalanta after five with Copenhagen and 12 at Sturm Graz. When…
Arsenal have reportedly made a formal contract offer to Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, who is currently valued at around €60 million and has been linked with Barcelona and Bayern Munich, according to Football España. The 22-year-old Basque talent has long attracted interest, but recent developments suggest the Gunners may be leading the chase. Arsenal Sporting Director Andrea Berta is said to have held negotiations with Williams’s agent in March, presenting an annual package of approximately €9 million. This likely exceeds what other clubs are offering, underlining Arsenal’s determination to recruit the dynamic winger. Williams has enjoyed an impressive breakthrough…
Rafael Leao is once again being linked with a move to Barcelona during a summer where the Catalans are eager to sign a left winger. The word from Italy is that AC Milan could even be willing to offer Leao in a swap deal that would see Ronald Araujo head the other way. Araujo has signed a new contract this year at Barca and said he wants to stay, but his release clause drops to €65m at the start of July which may make things interesting. The rumor mill now thinks that new Milan coach Massimiliano Allgeri wants Araujo and…
The Los Angeles Lakers might need to get aggressive this offseason. It seems like other Western Conference teams are going to swing for the fences, and if the Lakers don’t make some trades or signings to keep up, they may find themselves out of the playoffs early once again next season. Although everyone loves the Lakers’ trade rumors that land the team another star, they probably aren’t happening. We look at one Lakers trade idea that is actually realistic and could help the team in a big way. This may not be the sexiest Lakers trade rumor. However, this Lakers…
Hello and welcome to football.london’s LIVE blog – covering all the latest Arsenal news and transfer gossip. The Gunners are expected to splash the cash this summer, with Mikel Arteta determined to get his hands on some silverware. Arsenal seemed well-positioned to compete on all fronts last season – but injuries to key players dented any chance of winning a major trophy. Andrea Berta, who was appointed as their new sporting director in March, has been tasked with taking the north Londoners to the next level. This summer, Arteta wants to ‘add goals and creativity’ to his squad. football.london understands…
Being eliminated in the playoffs is never a good thing, but there’s a certain solace in knowing you were only beaten by the eventual NBA champion. From the early BAA days to the modern NBA, here are the players who have most frequently lost to the team that would go on to lift the championship trophy at season’s end. Much criticism was leveled against Wilt Chamberlain for coming up short in title count with just two championships. However, in 10 of the other 12 seasons he played in the NBA, it was only the eventual champion who managed to eliminate…
The 26-year-old has been at AC Milan since he signed from Lille in 2019 and has often been linked with a move away. While not always prolific in front of goal, the Portugal international has hit double figures in all competitions in each of the last four seasons for Milan. He has been a great provider of goals for Milan, last season laying on eight Serie A assists, which was down from the nine he produced in 2023/24. With Il Rossoneri finishing a very disappointing eighth in the top flight last season there is no surprise the forward is once…
The 2024-25 season forced Milan to change direction completely, appointing the likes of Igli Tare and Max Allegri for a more classic Serie A approach. However, while the goal for next season is clear, it has resulted in a lot of movement on the mercato. Taking a look at the squad as things stand, it feels a bit chaotic and as such, we have divided the players into three different categories: To stay, uncertainties and to leave. Granted that a lot can change on the mercato, at least this gives us a semi-good picture The fact that there are only…
reports this morning that following the official sale of Reijnders to Manchester City and with Musah now seemingly destined for Napoli, the Rossoneri will heavily intervene in the central department of Allegri’s lineup. One deal, in fact, is already in place: Luka Modric, who will undergo his medical with Milan as soon as the Club World Cup ends. But it’s not just the Croatian star—Milan also wants to wrap up a deal soon for Granit Xhaka. In the coming hours, a key meeting is scheduled between the Swiss midfielder’s entourage and the Rossoneri management to gauge the player’s intentions and…
This summer, Milan’s center-forward department will undergo a true revolution: Tammy Abraham will not be redeemed and will return to Roma, Luka Jovic will not renew his contract, while Francesco Camarda will go out on loan. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Santiago Gimenez, who arrived for over 30 million euros in January, because Massimiliano Allegri has asked the club for a top-level striker. Therefore, if one arrives, the Mexican would remain as a backup center-forward. This was reported this morning by Corriere dello Sport, which explains that among the players targeted by Milan is Darwin…
