Report: West Ham linked with 26-yr-old, could face competition from Crystal Palace
West Ham have been linked with a move for Michy Batshuayi. The Belgian has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge and he could be on the move this summer. As per DH, West Ham and Crystal Palace could be interested in the player. The Hammers could use more depth in their attack and Batshuayi wouldn’t be a bad option for them. Before his move to Chelsea, he was quite highly rated. If he manages to regain his confidence and sharpness, he could be a reliable Premier League striker. He would add pace and goals to the West Ham attack. It will be interesting to see if the Hammers make a move for the player in the coming weeks. Batshuayi has been on loan at Palace before and the Eagles will know all about him. The player could be keen on a return to Selhurst Park if the offer is right. He managed...

Jose Mourinho claims Arsenal are ‘in trouble’ ahead of upcoming derby
Jose Mourinho has hit back at Arsenal after their social media account taunted his side after they failed to beat Sheffield United on Thursday evening. The Gunners moved to taunt our rivals with a post of our side beating Sheffield United the morning after Spurs were beaten 3-1 by the same side below. The Spurs boss moved to react to the post, claiming that we wouldn’t be enjoying their misfortune in such a way if they had more to celebrate themselves. “I think if they were top of the league or fighting for top four in a really good moment they wouldn’t enjoy the problems of others,” he said ahead of his side’s game with Everton on Monday night. “You only enjoy the problems of others when you are also in trouble. “In the end it says more about them, they don’t have much to celebrate, they ...
Report: Chelsea have ‘stepped up their interest’ in £44m West Ham star
According to reports from The Times, Chelsea have stepped up their interest in signing Declan Rice from West Ham this summer. The 21-year-old is arguably one of the finest young talents in the country, and the Blues are looking to sign him ahead of other potential suitors. Chelsea are already active in the summer market having signed Hakim Ziyech from Ajax for £33 million and RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner for £45m. However, the Blues are looking to bolster their defence, and Frank Lampard has earmarked Rice as an ideal candidate for that role. Rice has always played as a defensive midfielder for the Hammers, but Lampard feels the 21-year-old could solve their defensive frailties. The report claims that Rice is a boyhood Chelsea fan. He spent seven years in the club’s academy before being r...
Liverpool reiterate need for safe celebrations ahead of Villa clash
Liverpool have again urged their supporters to avoid mass gatherings in the city and to celebrate their Premier League triumph safely at home in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, chief executive Peter Moore said on Friday. Liverpool’s 30-year wait for their 19th English top-flight crown ended last week when Manchester City lost at Chelsea and thousands of fans turned up at their Anfield stadium to celebrate. Local media reported that fans launched fireworks at the Royal Liver Building, with a fire breaking out on the balcony of the landmark owned by Farhad Moshiri, the majority shareholder of the side’s local rivals Everton. Liverpool, Merseyside police and the City Council issued a statement condemning the “wholly unacceptable” behaviour, while manager Juergen Klopp requeste...
Report: Ancelotti wants to bring Chelsea star to Everton
According to le10sport, Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti wants to bring Chelsea centre-back Kurt Zouma back to Goodison Park this summer. The France international isn’t in manager Frank Lampard’s starting XI at Stamford Bridge despite featuring in 33 games across all competitions so far this term, and a chance to play regularly could lure him back to Everton. Zouma spent the 2018-19 campaign on loan with the Toffees, featuring in 32 league games and Ancelotti is keen on him. The Italian wants to sign a centre-back this summer and has been linked with Marseille’s Boubacar Kamara, Lille’s Gabriel and Paris Saint-Germain’s Thiago Silva, but landing any of the trio is proving herculean. Zouma proved his quality at Everton all over again, forcing Lampard to rule out another season-long loan with...
Chelsea insider claims buying Hammers star ‘could embarrass a few people’ at Stamford Bridge
According to The Athletic’s Simon Johnson, West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice is on Chelsea’s radar and is one of the main names being discussed to help their defence. The Hammers put three goals past the Blues last night, and Frank Lampard’s side need to bring in a top defender if they are to start challenging for silverware again. While Rice has played in midfield since breaking into West Ham’s first team in 2017, he is seen by Chelsea as a solution to their defensive woes as he spent the majority of his formative years in central defence, including the ones at their academy before he was released at 14. While landing Rice will be huge for the Stamford Bridge outfit, a Chelsea insider reckons they may get cold feet on the idea of bidding for him. “West Ham will demand a lot of money ...
Frank Lampard: West Ham loss shows why we aren’t contenders
Frank Lampard has said Wednesday’s loss to West Ham United is emblematic of Chelsea’s season. The Blues were downed 3-2 by the Premier League relegation battlers, a defeat which meant they missed the chance to moved into third. And speaking after the game, Lampard said the result was indicative of why his team were not challenging for the title. “It happens, it is the Premier League and if you make mistakes like we did, we dominated the game in terms of possession, but make mistakes and teams will hurt you,” said Lampard. “I’m not happy with any of the goals. You don’t get given victories for scoring two goals, you have to be better than that. “There were moments they counter-attacked, which we knew they would. There were details in the game which we knew but we lost because we didn’t get ...
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: Odion Ighalo brilliant on and off the pitch
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has praised Odion Ighalo since he arrived from Shanghai Shenhua. United’s loan star has shown why the club extended his deal until January 2021. Ighalo got another goal in a tense 2-1 win over Norwich City in the FA Cup quarter finals. United now face Chelsea in the semis. “Keeping Ighalo was important to me and we worked hard to do it,” said Solskjaer to reporters after the Norwich game. “I think Odion knows how much we value him in and around the dressing room and of course on the pitch.” Solskjaer added: “He’s a goalscorer, a poacher, strong, we can play the ball into him like we did on the winning goal, where he showed and Paul [Pogba] found him. “He’s performing well but it also gives me the chance to rotate with Marcus [Rashford], Anthony [...

Liverpool face ban after winning Premier League title
Newly crowned Premier League champions Liverpool face being banned from playing their remaining home games at Anfield unless fans stop partying on the streets. The Reds joined Merseyside Police, the City Council and Mayor Joe Anderson in condemning some of their own supporters for “wholly unacceptable” behaviour, which “risked public safety” as thousands swarmed into the city centre to celebrate the end of their 30-year wait for a league title, despite repeated warnings over the spread of coronavirus. The iconic Liver Building was set on fire by a firework on Friday as fans ignored social-distancing rules and dropped tons of litter while celebrating. A joint statement from Liverpool, the police and the council said: “Several thousand people turned up at the Pier Head on Friday and some cho...
