When can Liverpool win the Premier League?

It’s our time to win the league.” However, the Reds can wrap up the title even before that. ...

Report: Hammers rule out bidding for £110,000-a-wk striker, but his club could offer him for Rice
According to The Athletic’s Simon Johnson, West Ham United have ruled out making a bid for Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi with his £110,000-a-week wages putting them and other suitors off.

Batshuayi is way down the pecking order at Chelsea and he isn’t in boss Frank Lampard’s first-team plans.
