Mohamed Salah has established himself as a true diamond over the course of the past decade. The Liverpool talisman is a unicorn of sorts in the world of football, as his profile and range of qualities is incredibly rare, with those perks allowing him to become one of the greatest players in Premier League history. Since his move to Liverpool from AS Roma in the summer of 2017, Salah has scored a total of 139 goals in England’s top flight, while also registering 60 assists, meaning he is currently just one short of hitting the 200-mark for scoring contributions. The…
Napoli stars Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are on the list of 12 nominees for the Best FIFA Men’s Player award. The Partenopei were one of the most electric teams in Europe last season under Luciano Spalletti, easily flying to the top of the Serie A table and putting on a good show in the Champions League until their difficult quarter-final clash with Milan. Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia were the two standout stars in Spalletti’s Napoli squad, with the former directly contributing to 36 goals and the latter 31 goals. As announced by FIFA today, the 12 nominees for the Best FIFA…

Real Madrid are not worried about the right-back position and are satisfied with the options at their disposal currently, reports Jose Felix Diaz of MARCA (h/t Madrid Zone). This update comes amidst the Spanish capital giants being linked with a move for Chelsea captain Reece James for the summer of 2024. As things stand, Real Madrid have Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez as their options in the right-back position. There had been concerns about Carvajal in the recent past due to his performances being up and down and his fitness issues. However, the veteran Spaniard has started the 2023/24 campaign on…
Speaking on Radio MARCA, Getafe manager Jose Bordalas has revealed the role Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham played in helping the Azulones sign Mason Greenwood from Manchester United this past summer. Bellingham arrived at Real Madrid only this past summer and is already one of the main men of Carlo Ancelotti’s men. The England international’s impact has been the chief driving force behind Real Madrid’s 100% winning start to the new campaign. It appears that Bellingham has not only helped Real Madrid in the new campaign, but also came to Getafe’s aid during the transfer window Mason Greenwood has not played football for more…
Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham is already one of the best players in the world, according to club legend Luis Figo. WHAT HAPPENED? Bellingham is off to a blistering start at Madrid since his €103 million move from Borussia Dortmund, having scored five goals in his first four matches in La Liga. The midfielder’s impressive displays have convinced Portugal hero Figo that he is already an elite star. WHAT THEY SAID: “He has started very strong and has adapted very, very quickly to what Real Madrid entails and is,” Figo said at a charity golf event. Asked if Bellingham is already one…
Former Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic claims the Blues should have signed Declan Rice instead of Moises Caicedo. The West-Londoners signed the midfielder earlier this summer for a club and British transfer record fee of £115m. The deal saw them fight off the advances of Premier League rivals Liverpool, who had also agreed a deal with Brighton to sign Caicedo. Caicedo also had a nightmare debut as he conceded a penalty in the 3-1 defeat against West Ham despite having only played under half an hour. Now, former Blues stopper Begovic has claimed that Chelsea should have signed Declan Rice instead – the England star moving to Arsenal this summer. Speaking…
The 24-year-old failed to land a move away from the club in the final week of the summer transfer window. That’s despite interest from Bayern Munich and Nottingham Forest, who both bid for Chalobah. Chelsea were happy to cash in on the defender, not least to raise some much needed funds following their record outlay. But, following his failure to land a move, reports this week claimed Chalobah had been frozen out at the club. Chalobah was said to have been put into ‘exile’ and was no longer training with the first team. But Pochettino has rejected those claims, and says he will be…
More than any other tournament, the Africa Cup of Nations is something of a moveable feast. Depending on the host nation, it can be played either during Europe’s off-season in the summer, or right in the middle of the campaign in January and February. That has caused something of a headache for a number of clubs over the years, not least Liverpool. In 2022 for example, both Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané made it all the way to the competition’s final, leaving the Reds without two of their regular front three for an extended period during what turned out to…
