While the Cityzens were seemingly keen on signing Rice as an Ilkay Gundogan replacement, that was a price they weren’t willing to match with the player also keen on the idea of suiting up in red and…

The former England international stated this during a session on the SDS YouTube channel where he tried to form a combined XI of Manchester United and Arsenal players. “He [White] is not better than the two right-backs at Man United,” Ferdinand said. “No, not for me [he was not second best in the Premier League]. I thought Ben White was solid, but that is it. “I think that is the one area of their team where you look and think there is room…

Of course, the goal at Liverpool — the only side to successfully break up that dominance — will be to challenge Manchester City…

Chelsea have a big job on their hands as the Blues look to bounce back from their worst Premier League campaign. The Blues have spent close to £700m since Todd Boehly’s takeover at Stamford Bridge one year ago. In that time, 20 new players have arrived, though not, to this point, to the club’s benefit. Indeed, despite the spendthrift policy employed by Chelsea, the club recorded their lowest-ever points tally in the season just finished. That saw the Blues finish in a worryingly-low 12th place, some 45 points adrift of champions Manchester City and just 10 points clear of the…
