PSG re-sign coach Kombouare

that Romelu Lukaku could be a target for a number of Europe’s elite clubs this summer.

The striker’s agent has talked up potentional interest from Juventus, Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain all are likely to be able to offer Champions League football something the Belgium international longs for.

Lukaku was strongly linked with a move away last summer but opted to remain with the Toffee’s, who he joined from Chelsea in the summer of 2013, having spent the previous year on loan at West Bromwich Albion.

Since arriving at Goodison Park, the twenty-two year old has racked up one hundred and twenty-eight appearnces in all competitions, scoring sixty-one goals.

He is set to lead the line as Roberto Martinez’s side take on Manchester United on…

Danny Welbeck helped end Manchester United s 25-match unbeaten run in the Premier League, scoring Arsenal s second in a 2-0 win over his former team which handed Arsene Wenger a first top-flight triumph over Jose Mourinho.

The Portuguese coach tempted fate by making eight changes from Thursday s Europa League win over Celta Vigo and it ultimately backfired, with the hosts consigning them to their first league defeat since losing 4-0 to Chelsea in October.

After a particularly frenetic start which saw each side waste good opportunities, Arsenal looked the more purposeful going forward and spent long periods probing a stubborn United defence which included Premier League debutant Axel Tuanzebe.

But the best chance of the half fell to Wayne Rooney, who pounced on …

Erik ten Hag is not concerning himself about contract talks with key Manchester United players including Cristiano Ronaldo and is instead focused on performances on the pitch.

United have a host of players out of contract at the end of the season, although some have options in their existing deals for a further season.

Ronaldo is one of those, along with David de Gea and Marcus Rashford, but Diogo Dalot – who has started all nine Premier League matches at right-back this season – could be free to leave.

Those situations will need addressing, but Ten Hag is happy to park them for now.

At this moment we only think about performing, the manager said. We have a lot of games to go, so I don t want to get that interfered by talks.

We have to focus…

Granit Xhaka s volley ensured Arsenal secured qualification for the Europa League s knockout stages with two games to spare, firing the Gunners to a 1-0 home win over PSV.

Mikel Arteta selected a strong side as Arsenal looked to ensure their progression from Group A on Thursday, but PSV appeared likely to make them wait after producing a resolute defensive display.

Walter Benitez kept Arsenal at bay until the 70th minute, but Xhaka expertly diverted a right-wing delivery into the bottom-left corner to seal the hosts progress.

While Arsenal are now assured of a place in the Europa League s knockout stages, a point in next week s return fixture will guarantee them top spot and a bye to the competition s round of 16.

Napoli are keeping close tabs on Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Sandro, .

The Azzurri plan to sign a strong and powerful midfielder and while they are still in talks to recruit Maxime Gonalons from Lyon, the club officials are also considering other targets.

The Brazilian has lost his place in the side at White Hart Lane and he is reportedly ready to leave the club in the summer transfer window.

Sandro joined Spurs from Internacional in the summer of 2010, but numerous injuries have since prevented him from showing all he s got.

The 25-year-old has made 81 Premier League appearances during the four years at White Hart…

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp described himself as greedy for success at the club ahead of Sunday s League Cup final against Manchester City.

The German gets a chance to claim his first trophy at Anfield when his men take on Manuel Pellegrini s side at Wembley.

Klopp said he had developed greediness in his time as manager as Liverpool target their first trophy since 2012.

I am long enough in the business to know I am greedy for success, he said.

For sure we will go to the final and try and achieve this. It is more important for the club, the crowd and the players.

Lot of managers work their whole life and never get the chance to win trophies. After a short time we have that chance.

Of course I would enjoy it with all I have. Everybody…

Fabio Capello is calm over the fitness of Russia s Alan Dzagoev after the midfielder visited hospital ahead of their FIFA World Cup opener.

Capello s men begin their World Cup campaign against South Korea in Cuiaba next Monday as they aim to make history by reaching the knock-out rounds.

Russia have never qualified for the last-16 since the break up of the Soviet Union, but have a good opportunity to progress from Group H, which also features Belgium and Algeria as well as South Korea.

However, Russia will have to cope without captain Roman Shirokov, who was ruled out of the tournament through injury on Friday.

And Capello revealed that there have been concerns over the fitness of Dzagoev, although the Italian is adamant that the 23-year-old will feature in the c…

Serbian winger Lazar Markovic does not feature in Jurgen Klopp’s plans and will be allowed to leave on the permanent basis this summer.

Having arrived at Anfield in 2014 on the back of a £20 million transfer from Benfica, Markovic made only 11 starts in the Premier League and scored three goals for Liverpool in all competitions.

The Serb international was loaned out to Fenerbahce and Sporting before returning to the Premier League for another loan spell at Hull City under the guidance of Marco Silva. And with Silva now being appointed new Watford boss, Lazar Markovic is tipped to be reunited with the manager who gave him a shot back in the Premier League.

Lazar Markovic is thought to be available for £12 million as Mirror claim that Liverpool are prepared to…

Romelu Lukaku is excited by the new project under Ronald Koeman at Everton and could shun a return to Chelsea to stay at Goodison Park, according to his agent Mino Raiola.

The Belgium international has reached double figures in all three of his seasons at Everton since departing Stamford Bridge in 2013, the striker netting his best return of 18 league goals last term.

His lethal touch in front of goal has sparked reports of a return to Chelsea two years after his exit – his first campaign at Everton was on loan – but Raiola is not convinced the 23-year-old is keen on the switch.

Everton don t need money anymore, he told Sportwereld. Romelu wants to play for a club that can win trophies.

Something s changed at Everton: there s a new project. If he le…

Danny Ings was a Liverpool player for three years, during which he had a very tough time with injuries. In 2018 he joined Southampton on a 12-month loan which was made permanent last summer. At the moment, only Jamie Vardy of Leicester City and Sergio Aguero of Manchester City have scored more goals than the 27-year-old former Burnley striker this season, and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp couldn t be happier about the form Ings is on.

He says everyone at the club celebrate his goals still, but it would obviously be different today (Saturday) when the Saints come to Anfield.
