The Rio-based side have now made it to the final of South America’s equivalent of the Champions League and will face Argentine giants Boca Juniors in a showdown at the Maracanã next month. However, Fluminense were always willing to sell Andre in January, following the conclusion of their continental campaign, with club president Mario Bittencourt admitting as much in…
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has similarities in his game to PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe. Salah and Mbappe have been two of the best players on the planet over recent years, with both able to walk into any team in world football. And according to Chelsea’s Noni Madueke, the two can be used as references for improving the games of those aspiring to reach their level. In quotes from GOAL, Madueke has suggested that Salah and Mbappe both do the same thing when he watches them. “Our analyst has clipped up Mbappe and Salah, so I watch them a lot,” said…

The former Reds winger has been a free agent since leaving Turkish second-division side Adanaspor last year having failed to register a competitive appearance. Ibe left Anfield to join Bournemouth in a deal worth around £15 million but has failed to quite make the impact that the promise in his early years showed he was capable of. Back in 2021 he bravely opened up about mental health struggles he has experienced since his Liverpool exit and later made the move to Turkey following a brief spell at Derby. He was registered in time to be named in the matchday squad for Ebbsfleet’s FA…

Madueke admitted that he is studying their videos in a bid to improve his finishing, adding that he looks at the best. “I look at the best. James Ryder, our analyst, clipped Mbappe and Salah, so I watch them a lot,” Madueke said (via the Evening Standard). “The way they always follow their pass into the box, or when a teammate is in the box, they are always there to anticipate.” He added: “One thing I’ve…
Chelsea news with the latest Blues headlines and stories all day with updates on Armando Broja, Cole Palmer and Dani Olmo And so we arrive maybe the worst day of the international break, the middle Saturday.

Not many Manchester United players can boast they’ve beaten Liverpool twice in one day. But rising star Amir Ibragimov did just that back in January. Having scored the winning goal for United’s under-16 team against their bitter rivals, the teenager swapped pitches and helped the under-18s win their fixture with Liverpool 3-2. It’s little wonder there is a growing buzz around Ibragimov in United’s academy, with the Dagestan-born forward even invited to train with the first team by Erik ten Hag. But Amir is just one member of a very talented sporting family. His two younger brothers – Gazir and Muhammad – are also…
At 16 years and 161 days old, Kendry Paez became the youngest South American to score in a World Cup qualifier in Ecuador’s 2-1 win away to Bolivia; Paez has already agreed to join Chelsea from Independiente del Valle for £17.27m. The teenager produced a composed finish after being set up by Moises Caicedo. It has echoes of Michael Owen being sent through on goal by David Beckham in Saint-Etienne against Argentina at France ’98. Of Owen sending Wayne Rooney free of Croatia’s last defender in Lisbon at Euro 2004. Can he finish? You bet he can. Taking to social…

The midfield in particular was given the most attention last summer with Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominic Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo joining the club. With reports that Mo Salah could eventually leave for Saudi Arabia the Reds have been linked with a host…
Chelsea’s recent upturn in form has changed the whole mood around the club and the fan base. Before the three wins on the bounce, leading up to the international break, things were looking rather bleak at Stamford Bridge. However, Mauricio Pochettino and his squad then built a bit of momentum, with the international break actually coming at the wrong time for the Blues. “It’s always about building a team. It’s a young squad, a team that still need to know each other,” Pochettino said earlier in the week. “Only with time and training can we provide the team with what it needs.…
