This evening Jude Bellingham picked up the Golden Boy award in Turin after a fantastic year. As reported by TMW, he said: “Me as the strongest in the world? I am very pleased that it is said but I don’t know if I agree.”It should be no surprise that people are calling him the best player in the world given his start to the season. In a Real Madrid team without the striker that they want and with many injuries, he has managed 11 league goals in 13 starts. The most impressive part is that he is a midfielder and…

About 80 minutes into Liverpool’s Premier League match against Fulham on Sunday, tremors of trepidation rippled throughout Anfield; Bobby Decordova-Reid had scored, and Jurgen Klopp’s side were heading for a 3-2 defeat. With first-placed Arsenal performing at such a high level this season and Manchester City being… well, City, then each match in the English top-flight is crucial, each slip-up possibly detrimental. The Reds had not played at their best, but had wowed the home side with a fierce free-kick from Trent Alexander-Arnold – bouncing in off Cottagers keeper Bernd Leno – and Alexis Mac Allister’s staggering ranged effort, breaking…
Much had been made of Thomas Tuchel’s persistent desire for Bayern Munich to sign a defensive midfielder both last summer, and this coming winter. There were some differing opinions amongst the club’s front office, but Tuchel has stuck to his guns and the club very nearly signed João Palhinha from Fulham in the Premier League at the end of the summer window. Palhinha reportedly still would be in favor of a move away from Fulham, however, priorities have changed a bit for Bayern. Bouna Sarr’s recent ACL tear in his left leg has compounded what has already been a chaotic…

Has there ever been a more bizarre transfer than Alexander Nübel to Bayern Munich? Jumping from Schalke 04 back in 2020, Nübel was expected to take over for an oft-injured Manuel Neuer, who was thought to be winding down his career. However, Neuer’s health steadily improved (sans that ill-fated ski trip last winter) and the veteran repeatedly proved that he had really not lost a step. Of course, Neuer’s excellence put a major wrench in the timeline for a Nübel takeover. After loans with AS Monaco and VfB Stuttgart to prove his mettle, the 27-year-old has captured the imagination of…
In an exclusive interview with ESPN Argentina, Thiago Almada (22), previously linked to Marseille in the summer, expressed readiness for a move to Europe.The Argentine midfielder joined MLS side Atlanta United, where he swiftly established himself as one of the league’s top players, amassing 18 goals and 23 assists over two seasons.

Yes, now in this upcoming transfer window. I would like any top league, if…
Blow, blow, thou cold winter wind. Munich was hit by a major winter storm over the weekend that dropped more than a foot of snow and disrupted travel — and canceled Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga match against Union Berlin. Now temperatures are finally set to climb above freezing in the coming days, and training at Säbener Straße is set to resume. However, the weather disruptions will extend to an open training session originally scheduled for Tuesday, which will now be postponed to the weekend. As reported by @iMiaSanMia: Bayern have decided to postpone tomorrow’s public training session for safety reasons related…
Newcastle United are believed to have identified a “world-class” superstar as a potential replacement for the injured Nick Pope, according to a new transfer update. Newcastle hit by Nick Pope injury The Magpies’ injury curse struck yet again on Saturday evening, as Pope suffered a serious shoulder problem late on in his side’s 1-0 win at home to Manchester United in the Premier League. The 31-year-old was in a huge amount of pain and had to be replaced, with Martin Dubvravka helping Eddie Howe’s men get over the line in the final exchanges. It looks likely that Pope is out…
EURO 2024 is right around the corner, and the Germany team is a mess. But new Bayern Munich superstar Harry Kane is not about to taunt his many new German men’s national teammates over it — or over England’s 2-0 win that knocked out Germany at the last edition of the competition, in 2021, in which Kane scored a second-half goal to seal the game. Kane was asked recently about whether he ever broached the topic in the Bayern dressing room. “No, I haven’t felt like bringing that one up,” Kane said with a laugh in comments captured by FourFourTwo…
Foot Mercato are reporting that Everton are showing an interest in Olympique Lyonnais defender Jake O’Brien (22), who only joined the club for €1m from Crystal Palace in the summer. There isn’t much room for optimism at Lyon this season. The club are rock bottom of Ligue 1 having won just one game all season. However, O’Brien has certainly been a bright spark. The Ireland U21 international has scored Lyon’s last three goals in Ligue 1 and is the club’s joint-top scorer, alongside Alexandre Lacazette with three goals. His performances have come as a surprise, as despite arriving at the Groupama Stadium in…
