Nani on Arsenal radar

 that Arsenal are lining up a summer swoop for Manchester United winger Nani.

Arsene Wenger reportedly has around £70 million to spend in the upcoming transfer window and he is planning to seriously reinforce the squad.

The Frenchman is now pondering a £15 million bid for the Portugal international as he looks to further improve his attacking department.

Nani is clearly unhappy with his status at Old Trafford and he appears to be heading towards the summer exit.

His position at the club is unlikely to change with the arrival of David Moyes and there is every chance the Red Devils will be looking to cash in on him in the summer.

Nani, 26, has clocked up 135 Premier League appearances since arriving from Sporting L…

Inter Milan director Luis Figo has admitted that an era has come to an end but the club is working towards building another winning team.

Following the Calciopoli scandal of 2006, Inter dominated Italy s Serie A by winning five consecutive Scudetti.

However, success has eluded the 2010 European champions who finished in sixth place last season.

Inter s era has come to an end, the winning cycle is over but the club is working to get back to being the winning side of previous years, it just take some patience, Figo said.

Scudetto? We d have to prove that we deserve it. It s true that we miss the Champions League a great deal, both in terms of prestige and income, but we are in the Europa League now and will try to make the most of it.

Mikel Arteta has warned Aaron Ramsdale not to rush any decision over his future after England manager Gareth Southgate told the goalkeeper he could not promise him a place at Euro 2024 if he remains on the bench at Arsenal.

Ramsdale has been called up by Southgate for England’s final two qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia and will be aiming to add to his four senior caps.

However, the 25-year-old has been ousted as Arsenal’s first-choice goalkeeper since the arrival of David Raya from Brentford and has played just twice since the September international break.

Speaking after naming his latest squad, Southgate said of Ramsdale’s plight: “I think longer-term, we’re just going to have to see how it is. I had that conversation with him in the last…

Hoping to extend their buffer at the top of the National League table on Saturday afternoon, Chesterfield will travel to Roots Hall when they meet Southend.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in a toothless performance as they suffered a 2-0 loss away at Altrincham, Southend will certainly be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, while the Blues might be dealing with a string of financial issues behind the scenes at Roots Hall this season, the Blues have dragged themselves away from a looming relegation scrap. Losing just a pair of their previous nine appearances across all competitions a run that stems back to a 2-1 loss against AFC Fylde on September 23rd Kevin Maher’s side will be excited to make a…

Derby County owner Mel Morris is holding out hope that Frank Lampard will remain in charge of the club next season, but said it is inevitable his manager will be appointed by Chelsea at some point.

Chelsea were given permission by Derby on Tuesday to begin talks with Lampard over succeeding Juventus-bound Maurizio Sarri as their new head coach.

The 41-year-old made his step into coaching with the Championship side in 2018-19 and came within one win of guiding the club to Premier League promotion.

Lampard is widely expected to take over at Stamford Bridge in the coming days, and Morris does not begrudge the Chelsea great for wanting to return to his former club.

Derby County can confirm that they have granted permission for Chelsea to speak to Frank Lampar…

Sebastiano Esposito spoke of his gratitude to team-mate Romelu Lukaku after his Inter strike partner allowed him to take a penalty he then converted in an historic appearance against Genoa.

With Lautaro Martinez suspended amid a host of other absences, 17-year-old Esposito made his first Serie A start for Inter on Saturday in an emphatic 4-0 home win that put Antonio Conte s men top of Serie A.

He was the youngest player to begin a Serie A game for the club in the 21st century and then became their second-youngest league scorer when he netted a 64th-minute penalty.

With Inter two goals ahead, designated spot-kick taker Lukaku – who inspired the win with two goals along with an assist for Roberto Gagliardini accepted Esposito s request to hand the ball over, a…

Known as a man who’s easy on the trigger, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich looks set to make the Italian tactician his new managerial victim at the end of the season.

Ever since taking over from Ken Bates in June 2003, the Russian billionaire was never too shy to exercise his executive dominance. Fifteen years into his Chelsea reign, Roman Abramovich seems to be getting ready for his 14th sacking overall with two men – Guus Hiddink and Jose Mourinho – experiencing the Russian’s wrath twice during that time. Antonio Conte is the Russian’s eighth permanent manager at Chelsea.

A notable presence at nearly every Chelsea game, Roman Abramovich did enough to impose himself as a caring person who likes to get involved in day to day operations but his track record of ma…

A claims Tottenham Hotspur are ready to part ways with Toby Alderweireld, Danny Rose, Mousa Dembele, Fernando Llorente and Moussa Sissoko.

Spurs will start the clear-out by listening to offers for the mutinous duo of Alderweireld and Rose. Rose, who spent most of 2017/18 on the side-lines due to injury, openly criticized the club’s transfer policy and wage structure last summer, while the club refuse to give in to Alderweireld’s contract demands and are willing to let him go as he enters the final year of his current deal. Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain and all interested in signing the Belgian centre-back.

Manchester United are also monitoring the situation around Rose.

Like his compatriot, midfielder Mousa Dembele has a year remaining …

Jurgen Klinsmann believes the United States will need to raise their game if the CONCACAF Gold Cup hosts are to make a strong start to the defence of the title against Honduras.

Klinsmann s men won the Gold Cup in 2013 courtesy of a 1-0 victory over Panama in the final and are second-favourites behind Mexico to lift the trophy again.

They have been drawn alongside Panama in Group A along with Haiti and Honduras, and begin their campaign versus the latter in Frisco on Tuesday.

The USA finalised their preparations for the tournament with a 4-0 win over Guatemala last Saturday.

Yet Klinsmann remains far from satisfied with the level his side are playing at.

We have to talk to the players in a team context and also talk to them on an individual bas…

that Barcelona are ready to join the race to sign Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian.

The Italy international has been linked with a return to his home country in recent weeks with Inter Milan closely monitoring his situation and now La Liga giants Barca have thrown their hat in the ring.

Darmian played thirty-nine times under Louis van Gaal last season, having signed from Torino in the summer of 2015 and he scored his only United goal so far in a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace back in April.

However his only appearances under Jose Mourinho have come in the Europa League while he has only made the match-day squad in the league on two occasions.

The Red Devils were hammered 4-0 by Chelsea on Sunday afternoon leaving them six points behind first p…
