Interest
The Dutchman’s agent Soren Lerby has revealed publicly not he is about to make the move.
Whether that’s to create interest from elsewhere or whether it is to give fans of the star information about their hero remains to be seen.
There has been constant speculation throughout his career that the Dutch international is moving to the Premier League. Tottenham are currently being linked with a last-ditch move for Sneijd…
Bournemouth midfielder Jack Wilshere almost fell out of love with the game during his recovery from injury last season.
Wilshere, 24, has earned an England recall after impressing at Dean Court, on loan from Arsenal.
The midfielder s injury-riddled career continued last season. He made only three appearances in 2015-16 due to a broken leg.
It was difficult at times. I was injured and it wasn t as if it was my first injury, Wilshere said.
I nearly did [fall out of love with the game]. The injury last season was the hardest to take mentally, because I have been through a lot.
I missed the fight of the Premier League, being involved in all the big games and making a difference for a team and I wanted to feel that again and almost fall back in love…
Mikel Arteta expressed his surprise after Bernd Leno suggested he was forced to leave Arsenal due to politics rather than performances.
The Germany goalkeeper swapped London clubs ahead of the 2022-23 season as he ended a four-year stay at Arsenal to join fellow Premier League side Fulham.
Leno penned a three-year contract with the Cottagers in a bid to boost his hopes of featuring at the World Cup for Germany later in the year, after falling behind Aaron Ramsdale in the Arsenal pecking order.
The 30-year-old departing Emirates Stadium came as no surprise after Arsenal brought in goalkeeper Matt Turner from New England Revolution, though Leno says he was forced out the club.
When I realised that it wasn t about performance or quality, I knew I had to go,…
Ian Ayre says Liverpool owner John W. Henry and chairman Tom Werner have approached Manchester United and Arsenal for advice.

Sunderland were denied a win by former loanee Ki Sung-yueng in a 1-1 Premier League draw at Swansea City on Saturday.
Ki Sung-yueng returned to haunt former club Sunderland as his second-half header rescued a 1-1 Premier League draw for Swansea City on Saturday.
The South Korea international, back in the starting XI after reaching the Asian Cup final with his country, spent the majority of last season on loan at Sunderland.
And the midfielder, who also had a goal ruled out in the first half, made a decisive contribution when he stooped low to meet Kyle Naughton s cross in the second half at the Liberty Stadium denying Sunderland what would have been back-to-back league wins for the first time this season.
Swansea were somewhat unfortunate to go into t…

Almeria have been promoted back to La Liga after a 4-0 aggregate win over Girona in the Segunda Division play-off final.
Javi Garcia’s side have spent two seasons in Spain’s second tier following their relegation in 2010-11, but they secured this year’s final promotion place on Saturday after finishing third in the regular season.

Charles bagged a double after highly-rated youngster Aleix Vidal gave the hosts a 17th-minute lead, and the Brazilian forward’s goals took his season tally to an impressive 32.

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri will have to adapt his methods to make sure he gets the best out of Eden Hazard, according to Paolo Di Canio.
Hazard was outstanding for Belgium at the World Cup in Russia, with his performances prompting a spike in speculation linking him with a move away from Stamford Bridge.
However, he remains a member of Sarri s squad for now as Chelsea prepare for their opening league game of the new season, away at Huddersfield on August 11.

I m wondering if he [Sarri] will be able to bring his idea of football, Di Canio told rep…

The La Furia Roja snapped their 44-year drought in major championships by winning the 2008 edition of the European Championships and are on a good run that could see them end their long awaited international title.

It s a nice moment for Spanish football.
Let s see if we can harness our Euro momentum and use it at the World Cup, even though we know it gets harder and harder to win because we ll be up against more difficult rivals. …
Barca want Jonathan Soriano
that Barcelona have made an inquiry for Red Bull Salzburg striker Jonathan Soriano.
The Catalans are aware they cannot rely on Munir and Sandro Ramirez as back-ups for the starting attacking trident, but they are not in a position to recruit any expensive signings.
That is one of the reasons why they have turned their attention to Jonathan Soriano, another player who had impressed under Luis Enrique.

Having scored 104 goals in 119 league outings, Soriano has caught the eye of Europe s top clubs, with his employers r…
