Joshua Kimmich has expressed his hope Serge Gnabry stays at Bayern Munich, as the winger continues to be linked with a return to Arsenal.
Gnabry hinted at a move away from the Allianz Arena on Thursday as he asked: Should I leave my comfort zone? , with just a year left on his contract with the Bundesliga champions.
The forward finished the season with 14 league goals, only team-mate Robert Lewandowski (35) scored more for Bayern, while just Thomas Muller (84), Kimmich (80), and Leroy Sane (50) created more chances than Gnabry s 48.
That has led to interest from Mikel Arteta s Arsenal, who allowed Gnabry to leave for Werder Bremen in 2016 before he joined Bayern the following year.
However, Kimmich hopes his club-mate and international team-mate Gnabry st…
Former Real Madrid forward Predrag Mijatovic has urged the Spanish giants to move Gareth Bale on if the player wants to go, even if it means missing out on a transfer fee.
The Wales star moved to Spain from Tottenham in 2013 for a reported fee of €91million and has been a key player in the club s success ever since.
But Bale s future was the subject of much discussion during the previous transfer window, with the 30-year-old said to be keen on a move elsewhere.
The attacker s reported wage packet of £350,000 per week made it tough for clubs to do a deal, though, and Bale remained in Madrid, where he has made just seven starts in all competitions this season.
Zinedine Zidane’s squad sit sixth in La Liga having made an underwhelming start to the ca…
Chelsea are interested in signing Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona in the summer transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners are ready to make a bid for the former Ajax star and compete for his signature with Manchester United.
Manchester United have been linked with De Jong for a while now, but there is a wage dispute between Barcelona and the Netherlands international midfielder. Chelsea could face a similar situation if they do make a bid for the 25-year-old this summer.
De Jong has been on the books of Barcelona since 2019, but the Dutchman has not been a massive success at Camp Nou. Barca have not been very successful over the past three seasons either. The Dutchman made 30 starts and two sub…
Cristiano Ronaldo must break new ground when Portugal face Germany at Euro 2020 if his quest for a new world record for international goals is to continue.
The Juventus star struck twice late on to help his side to a 3-0 victory over Hungary in their opening Group F match and become the leading scorer in European Championship finals history with 11 in 22 appearances.
Ronaldo is one goal short of matching Miroslav Klose (19) for the most goals by a European player at the Euros and World Cup combined, while an altogether grander record is now within his sights: he is only three adrift of Iran great Ali Daei s tally of 109, the most scored by any international men s player.
However, history is for once not on Ronaldo s side when it comes to facing Germany, who lost …
According to a recent report from Sky Sports News, as of now there have not been any formal talks between Tottenham Hotspur and Toby Alderweireld regarding the possibility of him signing a new contract extension. There has been no contact as of yet, with Jose Mourinho’s recent addition to the club as their new manager taking priority over any talks with players. However, with time running out, many are questioning whether or not Spurs are just going to allow the clock to tick down to zero.
Alderweireld joins Christian Eriksen and Jan Vertonghen in being out of a contract at the end of the current season, with many not being all too sure as to what direction Tottenham are going to go in next. Toby has always been viewed as a key and integral member of Tottenham’s first tea…
Christophe Galtier bemoaned the timing of Paris Saint-Germain conceding before Kylian Mbappe s planned introduction, but still has hope in the Champions League.
Kingsley Coman scored the only goal of the game in the 53rd minute at the Parc des Princes, four minutes before Mbappe – returning from injury – was brought on in the last-16 clash.
The France international remained a doubt before kick-off but spurred a struggling PSG into life after his substitution, twice seeing goals ruled out for offside in the first leg on Tuesday.
While the Ligue 1 champions will head to the Allianz Arena on March 8 with a slender 1-0 deficit, Galtier reminded PSG it will be all to play for in Germany.
The PSG coach told Canal Plus: We managed to push them over 25-30 min…

Mbappe wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are reportedly trying to reach an agreement with the Ligue 1 giants.
Despite Mbappe being out of contract at the end of the season, Madrid are believed to have offered €180million for the France international.

Mikel Arteta s side had won their previous four home league games and were unbeaten in 11 on their own patch this calendar year but that run was ended by Vardy.

Market: Watford win
Odds: 8/11 @
Looking to extend on their purple patch on Tuesday night, Watford will welcome Plymouth to Vicarage Road when they turn their attention back to EFL Cup action.
Starting with the hosts, while Watford might have limped their way over the finishing line last season as they eventually had to settle for a bottom-half finish, the Hornets have come roaring back in a sensational fashion. Opening proceedings with an action-packed 3-2 victory away at Millwall, Tom Cleverley’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Extending on their EFL Cup adventure earlier in the month thanks to a stellar 5-0 romp against MK Dons, the one-time Manchester United midfielder has seen his squad gain a string of plaudits. Extending on their purp…

Looking to claim back-to-back Group C victories when they return to Wembley on Sunday evening, England will welcome Ukraine to the capital.
England
Starting with the hosts, while England might have come under more scrutiny over the winter as they had to settle for a World Cup quarter-final ticket, Gareth Southgate’s side showed no signs of a hangover earlier in the week. Eventually claiming what was a fiery 2-1 victory away at reigning European champions Italy, the Three Lions certainly got their Group C campaign off to a flying start in Naples. While Sunday’s hosts might have endured a rather public Nations League nightmare last year as they lose their top-tier status, Southgate will be desperate for his side to lay down another q…
