Arsenal have already been proactive in the transfer market after they were pipped to Champions League qualification on the last day of the Premier League season. Having sold Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Barcelona in January it was evident that Mikel Arteta wanted to bring in a replacement striker which he has now done by sealing a £45m move for Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City. The Brazil striker joins Portuguese midfielder Fabio Vieira, who arrived from Porto in a £30m deal and rapid 19-year-old winger Marquinos who Arsenal fans will hope follows in Gabriel Martinelli’s footsteps. But Arteta is not finished strengthening his squad and Gunners fans should expect more arrivals before the season starts. Youri Tielemans Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans has been on Arsenal boss Mikel Art...

As you’ll likely know by now, Thomas Tuchel’s decision to sub on Kepa Arrizabalaga for Edouard Mendy for yesterday’s cup final shootout against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool spectacularly backfired. The Spanish keeper failed to save ten out of ten Liverpool penalties and then skied his kick into Wembley’s row-Z. Bet £10 Get £30 Free Bet Claim Offer New Players Only.

Everton attacking midfielder Richarlison made history yesterday, becoming the first Premier League player to bag a hat-trick at the Olympic Games as Brazil secured a 4-2 victory over Germany. The 24-year-old put his country’s Copa America disappointment aside to fire the South Americans into a 3-0 lead in the opening 45 minutes of the Group D clash. Richarlison’s international teammate and Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar Junior was impressed with his performance against the Germans, reacting on Instagram.

The Copa America group stages have ended, and we now know our line-up for the knockout rounds. This is where things get incredibly interesting. One poor game, and it’s all over. It’s all about the result. Ahead of the quarter-finals, here are our predictions for the last eight ties. Peru vs Paraguay Can Peru get past Paraguay? Peru surpassed expectations in the group stages. Aside from one 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Brazil, they enjoyed a strong showing, finishing in second place. Paraguay also gave a good account of themselves in their group. They managed to pull off a surprise win against Chile and suffered narrow defeats to Argentina and Uruguay. They finished in third place. It’s a difficult one to call. Both sides have fairly similar records, scoring five in their four group outing...
Brazil’s ten-game winning run came to an end after Ecuador earned a 1-1 draw in the final Copa America group game in Goiania. Coach Tite made ten changes from the midweek win over Colombia as Neymar, Casemiro, Thiago Silva and Richarlison were rested. The reigning champions had already booked their spot in the next round as group winners and Venezuela’s defeat to Peru, means Ecuador join Brazil in the final eight. And it was nearly the perfect start for Brazil as Renan Lodi broke clear down the left and looked to be bundled over inside the box within the opening minute. The referee and VAR disagreed. Brighton’s Moises Caicedo was then stretchered off on 17 minutes with a knee injury in a blow to Ecuador, with Angel Mena coming on. Then Ecuador skipper Enner Valencia came close to scoring t...
Brazil continued their winning romp through the Copa America on Wednesday, eking out a controversial 2-1 victory against Colombia after struggling most of the match to answer a magnificent bicycle-kick goal by Luis Diaz. The 11th-hour win gave the “Selecao” a perfect nine points from three matches in the South American championships, and extended their current winning streak to 11 matches. However, the victory was steeped in controversy: Brazil’s second-half equalizer, a Roberto Firmino header, was preceded by a Neymar pass that glanced off Argentine referee Nestor Pitana. Colombia heatedly argued afterward that play should have been stopped, but Pitana ruled neither side was hindered and allowed the match to continue. Disgruntled Colombia fans on social media turned the referee’s name int...
