that Liverpool forward Divock Origi has dismissed speculation linking his with a move to Juventus.

The Belgium international has failed to hold down a regular first team place since signing from Lille but is keen to stay with the Merseyside outfit to fight for his place.

Since arriving at Anfield, the twenty-one year old has racked up thirty appearances in all competitions, scoring twelve goals having initially rejoined Lille on loan for the 2014-15 campaign.

He has been capped a total of twenty-one times for his country, scoring for them three times and was part of their squads for the World Cup finals in Brazil two years ago and this summer’s European Championships in France.

Bever Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller expects improved displays from Javier Hernandez in the second half of the season, although he ruled out selling the striker.

After joining from Manchester United in August 2015, Hernandez enjoyed an excellent debut campaign in the Bundesliga, netting 26 times in 43 appearances across all competitions to fire Leverkusen to third and Champions League qualification.

But 2016-17 has been a different story, the Mexico international scoring seven times in 23 outings, and his dip in form has not gone unnoticed.

I expect a lot more from Chicharito, Voller told Bild.

He knows himself that he has to raise his game. I think he is the first to be unhappy with his first half of the season.

But Voller ruled o…

Chairman Huw Jenkins has revealed Swansea City are in ongoing discussions with Neil Taylor over a new contract.

The Wales left-back has been a regular fixture in Garry Monk s side this season following the departure of Ben Davies to Tottenham.

Taylor s current deal expires at the end of next term and Jenkins told the South Wales Evening Post: That needs to be looked at between now and the summer; it s an obvious one for us to sort out.

Jenkins added:  With Neil, this is the first time for a long time that he has had a good run of games [after injury disrupted his 2012-13 season], and it always takes players time to get up to speed.

As the season has gone on and Neil has played more games, I think we have seen that he is getting back to his best.

Las Palmas striker Sergio Araujo has been sentenced to nine months in prison for refusing to take a breathalyser test, but he may not have to serve any time behind bars.

Araujo was also banned from driving for two years following an incident that occurred in the town of Ingenio on September 26, two days after he scored a late equaliser in a 2-2 home LaLiga draw with Real Madrid.

Reports in Spain say Araujo s defence attorney has appealed the sentence.

Back in September, Las Palmas president Miguel Angel Ramirez told Onda Cero the club would stand by the Argentine even if he was convicted.

Sergio s issue is non-sporting related and it will be the courts to determine if he has been negligent and the severity of the offense, Ramirez said.

The Ukrainians have reportedly had a €7 million bid for the player accepted by the Serie A side, with the 25-year-old also striking personal terms with the club.

The 18-year-old became City s youngest ever goalscorer when he scored against Watford in the same competition last season and, after a handful of League Cup outings recently, he hopes to take advantage of a rare start.

Lopes has had to be patient at the Etihad Stadium with the likes of David Silva, Samir Nasri and Yaya Toure all playing in his preferred position, and he knows he must take the opportunity to impress Pellegrini this weekend.

Cup games represent a big opportunity for younger the players at the club and I m looking forward to being involved in more matches, he told City s official website.
