No 2 keeper for next season appears sorted. Saka and Sheaf heading up or out?

Morning guys. After the disappointment of England Women getting knocked out of the World Cup, the England cricket team boosted my mood with an excellent win over New Zealand to secure a place in the ODI World Cup Semi-Final which takes place next Thursday. Australia or India will be their opposition. Then there’s Wimbledon, which […]

Lacazette to Madrid? Martinelli in and defender out.

Arsenal won’t sell Granit Xhaka but they’ve stepped up their interest for a left back..

Morning all. The Mirror suggest Atletico Madrid want Granit Xhaka and they’re ‘pushing hard to get him’ – their words not mine, written in today’s online version. They say our Swiss midfielder, valued more than the £35m we paid for him, is seen as the ideal replacement for Rodri who’s linked with a move to […]
