Report: PL rival join the race to sign £15m Arsenal and Leicester target
Brighton & Hove Albion have reportedly joined the race to sign Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard this summer. According to reports from The Sun, the Seagulls are showing keen interest in the French striker who is likely to leave Celtic this summer. However, Brighton are likely to face competitions from two Premier League clubs – Arsenal and Leicester City – to sign him. Edouard has been outstanding for Celtic since he joined from Paris Saint-Germain. In four seasons (including a loan spell) at the Bhoys, he has bagged 85 goals in all competitions. Last season, he was one of the most consistent performers for the Hoops, scoring 22 goals. The 23-year-old is likely to leave Parkhead in the summer, with his contract expiring in the next 12 months. Several Premier League clubs are vying f...

Confirmed: Liverpool FC has not activated the €23m release clause for Ozan Kabak. A permanente deal with #LFC is unlikely.

Report: PL rival step up chase to sign £13m Arsenal target this summer
Leicester City are reportedly looking to step up their chase to sign Samuele Ricci in the summer transfer window. According to Italian publication La Nazione, the Foxes are ready to meet the asking price set by Empoli for the midfielder. The report claims that Empoli are demanding a fee in the region of €15 million (£13m) for the 19-year-old in the upcoming window. The youngster is also wanted by Arsenal. Both clubs have been in contact with the player’s agent, Federico Pastorello, in recent weeks to discuss a potential move. As it stands, Leicester are willing to meet the asking price set by Empoli, and they are leading the race for his signature. It is unclear whether the youngster can obtain a work permit considering the restrictions on transfers following Brexit. Ricci has ma...

Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction for Sunday’s Premier League clash between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes are no longer in control of their top-four destiny after the 2-1 league defeat at Chelsea in midweek, where they were second-best for most of the game. They face a must-win situation against Spurs in the final matchday tomorrow, but the result won’t be sufficient if Chelsea and Liverpool win their respective matches. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur also need to come up with the three points to ensure that they will be playing European football for another season. A victory could see them qualify for the Europa League, if sixth-placed West Ham United lose against Southampton at the London Stadium tomorrow. Otherwise, it...

Tottenham speak to two Bundesliga managers as they hunt for new boss
Reuters Tottemham Hotspur have reportedly stepped up their search of finding a new manager by speaking to Hansi Flick and Ralf Rangnick.

Arsenal’s stunners and that Gerrard goal: the best FA Cup final goals of the 2000s
The FA Cup final is one of the highlights of the English football calendar. It’s the world’s oldest football competition and has produced several incredible moments – from the endless amount of giant killings to those big days out at Wembley Stadium.
