It is the only possible explanation as to why Arsenal are targeting a striker who has scored 53 goals this season as part of their plan to win some actual trophies And it leaves us with only one course of action: transposing Sam Allarydce’s 2003 summer window in charge of Bolton onto Arsenal’s transfer plans 22 years later. A simple enough and entirely plausible start, which absolutely will not develop into anything close to a theme. Arsenal could sign Gyokeres as early as next week, although they might need to hold off the irresistible force that would be a Manchester…
AC is on the hunt for a new goalkeeper as their current number one, Mike Maignan, has no intention of extending his contract, which runs until the summer of 2026. To avoid losing the Frenchman on a free transfer in a year’s time, the Rossoneri are planning to sell him this summer and recoup some funds. According to DefensaCentral, Milan is weighing several options for the goalkeeper position, with Ukrainian shot-stopper Andriy Lunin of Real Madrid receiving some of the strongest endorsements. The source reveals that representatives of the Rossoneri have already informed Lunin’s agent, Jorge Mendes, of their readiness…
As La Gazzetta dello Sport write, Conceicao definitely didn’t imagine his curtain call to be this way. When he landed on planet Milan on December 30, the hope was to stay at least as long as his contract stipulated, that is until June 2026. Instead, tomorrow’s match at San Siro against Monza will be his last game in red and black. In fact, not even technically: the Portuguese is suspended after the red card he received in the Roma defeat on Sunday evening and will be replaced by his assistant, Joao Costa It will be a farewell that he isn’t…
The imposing Atatürk Olympic Stadium was not the most conventional setting for a miracle. Commissioned in aid of Turkey’s ultimately unsuccessful bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games, the venue had long seemed destined never to fulfill its potential. But on a scorching Istanbul night on May 25, 2005, the ground played host to one of the most memorable matches the sport has seen as Liverpool mounted an inconceivable comeback in the UEFA Champions League final against AC Milan. Before a ball was even kicked at the Atatürk, it was a contest Liverpool had no right to win. Rafael Benitez’s…
With the Los Angeles Lakers in the middle of a quiet offseason, fans are eagerly searching for any news about the team’s biggest stars. While major roster moves aren’t expected until the NBA Draft in June and free agency in July, one recent viral post managed to capture their attention. A photo of Luka Doncic’s dinner-shared on Instagram by his wife, model Anamaria Goltes-sparked widespread discussion, fueling speculation about the All-Star guard’s conditioning heading into the 2025-26 season The image, which featured a vegetable-based rice dish, quickly gained traction on social media, especially among Lakers fans familiar with the ongoing…
The NBA is home to the greatest basketball players in the world, with fans around the world witnessing historic records being broken left, right and centre. The game has evolved to the extent where scoring averages have gone through the roof, and the three-point shot has never been as valuable. Whether it’s 7-foot centers stretching the floor, or more position-less basketball than ever, the NBA landscape has changed significantly since the days of Michael Jordan and even Kobe Bryant. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was recently crowned the MVP of the league, taking over the crown from Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic, but…
Nico Williams has paid tribute to Athletic Club teammate Oscar de Marcos after it was confirmed he would be retiring from football at the end of the season. Having made a staggering 572 appearances for the Basque club, he undoubtedly departs as a club legend with three trophies won during a 16-year spell. Though Athletic were unable to win another piece of silverware during his final campaign, consistent results in La Liga has seen them qualify for next season’s Champions League. Links to an Emirates Stadium switch for the Spaniard have been prominent for some time, with Arteta a big…
The Los Angeles Lakers’ No. 1 agenda item for the offseason is no secret. After trading Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks in the league-shaking Luka Doncic trade, the Lakers never adequately replaced his presence and rim protection in the post. Los Angeles thought it had a solution at the five, trading for Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams… until the deal was undone due to a failed physical. The Lakers would ultimately play small down the stretch, with LeBron James, Rui Hachimura and Jarred Vanderbilt—all of whom are listed at 6′ 8″ or 6′ 9″—playing the lion’s share of frontcourt…
The Los Angeles Lakers concluded the 2024-25 NBA season with a 50-32 record, finishing as the third seed in the Western Conference. However, their postseason run was short-lived, as they were eliminated in the first round by the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games. In the aftermath of the early playoff exit, head coach JJ Redick emphasized the need for the team to get into “championship shape” during the offseason, highlighting areas for improvement in conditioning and overall performance. General manager Rob Pelinka echoed this sentiment, indicating that the front office would explore all options to upgrade the roster, particularly focusing…
The winger is still only 23 years of age, after all, with a long career still ahead. He is already established as a firm Gunners favourite and an integral part of the squad Mikel Arteta has formed to challenge for the highest honours. 51 goals scored, another 29 assisted, Martinelli’s contributions would be dearly missed, especially if a trophy has not been collected by the time he would hypothetically leave. As things stand, the Brazilian has a deal that covers his stay at the Emirates Stadium until the summer of 2027. For now, tensions can rest but if there is…
