The future of Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk at Anfield remains uncertain heading into the 2024/25 campaign and the Reds have been told by Juventus that it will take £50m to sign his potential replacement in Gleison Bremer. The Dutch star is out of contract with the Premier League club in 2025 and there has been no sign of a new …

Leicester City have gone through some big changes this summer. After winning promotion to the Premier League, the Foxes have lost their manager Enzo Maresca as well as their main player Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea. They have since appointed Steve Cooper as their new manager and signed players like Issahaku Fatawu, Caleb Okoli, Michael Golding, and Bobby De Cordova-Reid. They …

This summer’s transfer window has been markedly different to those that have gone before, ostensibly as clubs, including Aston Villa, try to get to grips with Financial Fair Play. The Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) have put a spoke in the ambition of many clubs who were no doubt hoping, as before, that they could just go out …

Former Arsenal misfit Nicolas Pepe has aimed a little dig at expensive Chelsea and Manchester United flops Mykhailo Mudryk and Antony following his own struggles during his time in the Premier League. Pepe joined Arsenal in the summer of 2019 in what looked at the time like a hugely exciting move after his dazzling performances at former club Lille, but …

Barcelona president Joan Laporta and manager Hansi Flick have both given responses to questions about the potential transfer of Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams. The Spain international has established himself as one of the most exciting young talents in world football in recent times, having really caught the eye in La Liga last season, as well as at Euro 2024 …

The 2024/25 season gives Arsenal another chance to wrestle the Premier League title from Man City, with Mikel Arteta surely needing to break that duck to maintain any sort of credibility in the role. By the end of the campaign, he will have been at the helm for five and a half years, and given the money that he’s spent …

Manchester United could now reportedly be in with the chance of signing Denzel Dumfries in a swap deal with Inter Milan that would see Aaron Wan-Bissaka move in the opposite direction. Man Utd would surely do well to bring in an upgrade at right-back, as Wan-Bissaka quite clearly looks like a player who isn’t quite up to the standard required …

It’s certainly been a quiet summer transfer window for Liverpool at the moment, and that could be worrying for fans of the club who are already wondering how things are going to end up post-Jurgen Klopp. A feature of Klopp’s reign was getting transfer business done early and bedding everyone in well before pre-season begins in earnest. From Slot’s point …

Ahead of the new Premier League season, Man City have been boosted by the news that Kevin De Bruyne is apparently staying at the club. Sky Sports noted Pep Guardiola’s words in a press conference earlier in the week where he said that his captain would not be moving to the Saudi Pro League. It was thought that the embarrassment …

Newcastle United fans and manager Eddie Howe are still waiting for their first major summer signing. The Magpies have lost two key players in Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh while their arrivals include defender Lloyd Kelly and two backup goalkeepers in John Ruddy and Odysseas Vlachodimos. They need to strengthen their squad this summer after it was pretty clear last …
