Tottenham Hotspur have suffered a significant setback after new summer signing Mykhailo Mudryk sustained an injury in training and faces several weeks on the sidelines. The 25-year-old completed a loan move to Spurs on Deadline Day, with the North London club holding an option to sign the winger permanently for £75 million at the end of the campaign. The injury comes at a particularly frustrating time, as Mudryk had only recently returned to competitive football after a doping ban kept him sidelined for 20 months. The ban was dropped by the FA in July, paving the way for his move…

Raphinha has started the 2026-27 season in stunning form, scoring in every appearance with eight goals across five games for Barcelona. The Brazil international has stepped up at centre-forward after Barcelona lost Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres and failed to sign Julian Alvarez during the summer transfer window. His explosive form has raised a wild but genuinely compelling question: could he threaten some of Lionel Messi’s most legendary individual records at the club? Messi scored in 21 consecutive La Liga outings during the 2012-13 season, more than doubling Ronaldo Nazario’s previous best streak of 10, set back in 1996-97. That…
Chelsea are reportedly showing strong interest in signing Atletico Madrid’s highly rated young defender Jorge Dominguez, according to TEAMtalk. The 16-year-old came through Los Rojiblancos’ youth system before earning his first-team debut against Malaga in the opening La Liga fixture of this season. Dominguez helped his side claim a 2-0 victory in that match, also contributing to a clean sheet on what was a memorable senior debut. His rapid development has not gone unnoticed, as he has placed himself firmly on the radar of several major clubs across Europe. Chelsea have been impressed by the teenager and could make a…
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has heaped praise on defender Ronald Araujo following the club’s 2-1 comeback victory over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. The Reds began their European campaign on a winning note at Anfield, overcoming Diego Simeone’s side in a hard-fought contest on Wednesday evening. Marcos Llorente, scoring his fifth Anfield goal, put Atletico ahead before Liverpool responded with two goals to claim all three points in their opening league phase fixture. Dominik Szoboszlai levelled matters before the interval, and Alexis Mac Allister then struck early in the second half to complete the comeback and seal the win.…
Rangers snatched all three points in the most dramatic fashion as Bojan Miovski’s stoppage-time strike sealed a 1-0 victory over St Mirren at Ibrox. The goal arrived in the 91st minute when Ryan Naderi climbed to meet a forward ball and guided it perfectly into Miovski’s path. The substitute kept his composure and beat goalkeeper Jacob Chapman to give Rangers the breakthrough they had spent the entire evening pursuing. Derek McInnes’ side had dominated the opening stages but were repeatedly frustrated by an inspired Chapman between the posts. Naderi had brought an early save from Chapman, Nicolas Raskin tested him…
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal kick off their Champions League campaign against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in what promises to be a tough European test. The Gunners arrive in Italy in strong domestic form, having won all three of their Premier League matches to open the new season. Arsenal also claimed the Community Shield earlier this summer with a victory over Manchester City, underscoring the confidence building around the squad. Arteta has made four changes to the side that defeated Chelsea on Sunday, though goalkeeper David Raya retains his place between the posts. Piero Hincapie returns to the starting…
Manchester United are being linked with a potential summer move for AFC Bournemouth defender Adrien Truffert, according to transfer expert David Ornstein. Ornstein, speaking on The Athletic podcast, outlined why the Frenchman is attracting attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs ahead of the next transfer window. Truffert joined Bournemouth from Stade Rennais last summer, arriving as a replacement following Milos Kerkez’s move to Liverpool during the same transfer period. The 24-year-old made an immediate impression in England, registering six goal contributions and keeping 11 clean sheets across 39 appearances in all competitions during his debut Premier League campaign. His…
Chelsea explored the possibility of signing Renato Sanches as a free agent this summer, according to a report from French outlet Foot Mercato. The west London club had been actively searching for midfield reinforcements after allowing Enzo Fernandez to join Manchester City on deadline day. Chelsea were unable to find a suitable replacement for the Argentine before the transfer window closed, leaving a clear gap in their midfield options. The club did bring in Jordan Henderson to add depth following Andrey Santos’ move to Manchester United, but their options in the engine room remain limited. Xabi Alonso currently has Moisés…
Erling Haaland scored both of Manchester City’s goals in a 2-0 victory over Porto on matchday one of their Champions League campaign. The brace took Haaland’s total tally in the competition to 59 goals, drawing level with Andriy Shevchenko in the all-time scoring charts. At just 26 years old, matching Shevchenko’s landmark is remarkable company to keep, but Haaland’s sights are firmly set on even bigger targets. He now needs just one more goal to chase down two Champions League records currently held by Lionel Messi, the competition’s most decorated individual performer. Messi holds the records for reaching 60 Champions…
