Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards had struggled during the first three games of the Western Conference Finals. Their drop in production had been a major reason for the 0-3 series deficit that they brought into Game 4 against the Dallas Mavericks, and it looked as though they’d be swept unless the two stars for the Timberwolves were able to step …

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is likely to leave the club this summer but an asking price has not yet been decided for the experienced Brazil international, according to transfer news journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Red Devils only signed Casemiro from Real Madrid last season, and he made a strong start to life at Old Trafford before fading rather worryingly in …

Daniel Farke will remain Leeds United boss despite the club’s failure to reach the Premier League, although the club could have to sell some of its leading players. Farke signed a four-year deal at Elland Road last summer but Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Southampton in the Championship play-off final at Wembley inevitably prompted speculation he could be moved aside.

Earlier this month, reports emerged claiming that Barcelona had shown an interest in signing Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Exequiel Palacios. It is no secret that Barça are in the market for a new No. 6 and with a move for Joshua Kimmich seemingly ruled out, they are in need of finding alternatives.

Italian football journalist Matteo Moretto believes that the return of Alvaro Morata isn’t a primary objective for Juventus at the moment. The Spaniard had two spells in Turin and remains deeply attached to the club. He first joined the Bianconeri in 2014, but Real Madrid exercised their buy-back option in 2016. The 31-year-old then returned to Continassa in 2020 and …

After a largely disappointing end to the 2023/24 Premier League campaign, Ange Postecoglou appears acutely aware of his own responsibilities, and those of his Tottenham players. If the Lilywhites want to ensure that they remain in the upper echelons of the English top-flight and are challenging for a Champions League place at worst next season, then it’s clear certain players …

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best forwards the world has ever seen. He won his first Ballon d’Or at Manchester United, claimed four UEFA Champions League trophies at Real Madrid, and became the quickest to score 100 goals for Juventus during his relatively short three-season stay in Turin. Now, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is rocking the Saudi Pro …

Morning all. Over on Patreon yesterday, Lewis and I did a player ratings podcast in which, quite unsurprisingly, we rated the players’ performance for last season out of 10. It’s fair to say there were a lot of high numbers in there. Even some 10s, you’d have to go listen to find out who, but I’m sure you can probably …

Arsenal will discuss the future of in-form young striker Mika Biereth in the next few days, according to transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano. The 21-year-old has had some impressive loan spells away from Arsenal and it will be interesting to see what happens next for him, as the Gunners could perhaps look to loan him out again and see how …

Hansi Flick will be named the new Barcelona head coach today and tasked with the job of regaining the Liga title. Flick had dinner with Barca president Joan Laporta and the rest of the Barca board in the Catalan city last night, after which vice-president Rafa Yuste told waiting reporters: “Tomorrow we will make it official.” Flick, who is expected …
