Report: Wolves submit offer for French centre-back Spurs & Arteta want
According to L’Équipe (via GFFN), Wolverhampton Wanderers have submitted a £13.5 million offer for Reims centre-back Axel Disasi as boss Nuno Espirito Santo looks to strengthen his backline ahead of next season.

Getty Images Olivier Giroud has opened up on his decision to extend his stay at Chelsea, outlining his plans to “keep winning trophies” and show Frank Lampard “he can count on me”.

The 33-year-old was tipped to leave the club in January amid...
