And yet, if James does hit, if he remains a solid player and can help the Lakers into the future long past his father’s Hall of Fame induction, the decision…

He openly admitted that he needs to improve as a leader and take greater responsibility moving forward. “I…
LeBron James is back, but the Los Angeles Lakers continue to lose. The first game of a vital five-game road trip for the Lakers began with a thud in Orlando.

AC Milan are focused on strengthening their attack ahead of the upcoming season and they have Chelsea winger Noni Madueke as one of their main targets. According to Fichajes, Madueke is one of the ‘most interesting solutions’ that the management are thinking about in view of the summer.

Despite offering public support, Ruben Amorim knows that Andre Onana has let Manchester United down due to some high-profile errors this season. The Cameroonian’s stay at Old Trafford has been characterised by mistakes both in domestic competitions as well as in Europe and if money permits, the Portuguese tactician would prefer to bring in a new shot-stopper. Interestingly, rumours have been floating regarding the United No 1 departing for the riches of Saudi Arabia once the summer window opens. That could potentially allow the Red Devils to recoup a large fee from his sale that can be used to sign…
