Darren Bent: Arsenal need a manager ‘better’ than Mikel Arteta
Ex-Tottenham striker Darren Bent believes Arsenal need to appoint a ‘better’ manager than Mikel Arteta. The Gunners fan thinks his boyhood club should try and attract the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Mauricio Pochettino and Antonio Conte. Discussing the North London club on talkSPORT, Bent said: “I think we could get better if I’m honest. “I’m not quite sure about the Zidane appointment because he fell into a situation with the best players in the world and won three Champions Leagues. “Pochettino is never going to go to Arsenal because of his Spurs ties. “Conte is probably someone where you go, ‘Yeah, I wouldn’t mind him, but I think he’d end up taking a bigger job because he’s a top manager. read also:Arteta demands Arsenal improvement after missing out on Europe “He won the league in Engla...
Ex-Fiorentina defender: Victor Osimhen will perform under new boss
Former Fiorentina defender, Vittorio Tosto, is convinced that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen can power Napoli to glory under newly appointed manager Luciano Spalletti. Spalletti, a former Inter Milan coach, was named the boss of the Parthenopeans, days after Gennaro Gattuso left the role following a disappointing end to the campaign. Gattuso was a key factor behind Osimhen’s decision to quit Lille for the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona last summer, with the club parting with a club-record fee of over €70 million. But injuries and coronavirus-related problems limited the attacker to 30 games across all competitions. The Super Eagles forward managed to find the back of the net ten times and provided three assists as Napoli missed out on Champions League qualification on the final day of the ...
Jole Cole urges Chelsea to sign £65m-rated star with 24 league goals this season
Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has urged the Blues to land the signature of Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan this summer. The Blues have had an impressive second half to the campaign, and they could end tonight by celebrating Champions League glory. They have made good progress since Thomas Tuchel took charge as manager in January, but there is room for improvement. The club have played with a positive mindset, but they have failed to fully capitalise on the chances created in the final third. Timo Werner has netted just 12 goals in his debut season, and he has been guilty of misfiring several clear-cut scoring chances. The club are lining up a new striker this summer, and it has been reported that they could re-sign Lukaku from Inter for £65 million. Speaking to Sunday World, Cole said that t...
Paris Saint-Germain step up their pursuit of Inter Milan’s Achraf Hakimi
Paris Saint-Germain have reached a verbal agreement with Achraf Hakimi over a summer move but will now have to convince Inter Milan to sanction the deal. As revealed by RMC Sport, PSG are keen to land the Morocco international in the summer and have already made significant progress in securing his signature. Les Parisiens have an agreement in principle with the 22-year-old right-back, but persuading the Nerazzurri to green-light the transfer could be a tricky business. Inter forked out £36 million to sign Hakimi from Real Madrid last summer on the back of the Moroccan’s outstanding two-year loan at Borussia Dortmund. The attack-minded right-back has quickly become one of the key figures at the Giuseppe Meazza. Given the freedom to venture forward, Hakimi netted seven goals and laid on 11 ...
Antonio Conte leaves Inter Milan
Title winning Antonio Conte has parted ways with Inter Milan amidst rumors he’s set for a return to the Premier League. Conte who guided Inter to the Scudetto for the first time since 2010 has been embroiled in a dispute with the club’s owners following their decision to cut down the size of the squad. A statement on the club’s website reads, “Internazionale Milano can confirm that an agreement has been reached with Antonio Conte for the termination of his contract by mutual consent. The Club would like to thank Antonio for the extraordinary work that he has done, culminating in Inter’s 19th top-flight title. Antonio Conte will forever remain a part of our Club’s history.” There are, however, rumours that the former Chelsea boss is set for a return to England to manage Tottenham Hotspurs. ...

Serie A: Jubilant Inter finish title-winning season with Udinese rout
Serie A champions Inter Milan ended their triumphant season with a 5-1 thrashing of Udinese on Sunday as thousands of fans gathered outside San Siro to celebrate. Antonio Conte’s side sealed their first league crown in 11 years with four games to spare on May 2, but had to wait until the final day of the season to lift the trophy. Ashley Young and Christian Eriksen were on target before the break and goals from Lautaro Martinez, Ivan Perisic and Romelu Lukaku completed the rout before Roberto Pereyra’s consolation penalty for the 14th-placed visitors.

Victor Moses completes Spartak Moscow permanent move
Spartak Moscow have completed the permanent signing of former Super Eagles winger Victor Moses from Chelsea. Moses spent last season on loan at the Otkritie Arena, with Spartak having the option to take him permanently should he impress. Spartak Moscow manager, Domenico Tedesco, has revealed how Victor Moses has been a great help to his side since his arrival from Chelsea. The 30-year-old joined the Red and Whites on a season-long loan from the Blues last summer for his sixth spell away from the Stamford Bridge outfit. The former Nigeria international has continued to prove his worth at the club, helping them to their current second spot on the league table. The Russian side have now taken up that option and are expected to pay Chelsea 4.5m euros for the services of the Nigerian internatio...
Dennis Bergkamp named Premier League Hall of Fame inductee
Dennis Bergkamp is the latest former player to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame. The Dutchman joins ex-Arsenal team-mate Thierry Henry as well as Alan Shearer, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane and Frank Lampard in receiving the League’s highest individual honour. “It feels special to be part of a small group of players who got the recognition of playing in the strongest league in the world,” said Bergkamp. “I’m honoured.” His arrival at Arsenal in 1995 from Inter Milan was the catalyst for a transformation of the Premier League, the playmaker adding a new level of technical ability and skill that elevated the competition and attracted other stars from overseas. ‘THE PL MADE ME A BETTER PLAYER’ “I’m extremely proud if people say that I was one of the first foreign players who added s...
Serie A: Juventus v Milan the headline fixture and can Ronaldo get 30+ league goals this season?
Serie A is back in action with another round of fixtures this weekend as four sides battle it out for the remaining three top-four spots. Apart from Inter Milan, who have already won the Serie A title, Atalanta, AC Milan, Napoli and dethroned Juventus are embroiled in a tense top-four race. There are only six points left to play for, while only three currently separate the teams in the Serie A table, with Cristiano Ronaldo and co arguably in the worst position heading into the season finale. Will Inter inflict further damage on Juventus? Inter may not settle for just stealing the Serie A title away from Juventus as they have the opportunity to harm their chances of landing a top-four finish. Andrea Pirlo’s future in Turin is hanging in the balance as the newly-crowned champions arrive at t...
Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona stars could beat Lewandowski for 2021 Ballon D’Or
The Ballon d’Or is arguably the most prestigious individual award in modern football, celebrating the beautiful game’s best player from the previous year. Now it is worth noting that the Ballon d’Or is not the be-all-and-end-all of football. It’s often biased towards those who shine in the Champions League. Media hype, big moments, and trophies won usually take precedence in the voting over individual performances. In fact, all Ballon dOr winners since 2007 has either won the Champions League or been the competition’s top goalscorer, and all since 2007 have reached at least the semi-finals stage. With no obvious standout, however, this summer’s international tournaments could be decisive. Lionel Messi and co. will compete in the Copa America, while Europe’s finest battle it out at the Euro...
Spurs have reportedly approached EPL-winning boss who once wanted to sign Kane
Tottenham Hotspur have approached Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte over becoming their permanent boss this summer, according to Corriere dello Sport. The Italian outlet claimed that talks took place last month after Jose Mourinho was sacked, and both parties discussed Spurs’ current squad and potential reinforcements needed for next season. However, Conte is not necessarily looking to leave Inter this summer and will hold talks with the owners at the end of the campaign over the plans for next season. The former Chelsea boss won the Premier League title and FA Cup in the two seasons he spent at Stamford Bridge and could be tempted to return to England if he leaves Inter. Conte’s current contract with the Nerazzurri runs until 2022, and he earns around €13 million after tax. The Itali...
