Speaking to Radio Crc about the reported interest from Chelsea, Hysaj’s agent Mario Giuffredi said Chelsea manager
Paris Saint-Germain star man Neymar provided a hint that he might switch to the Premier League one day. He claimed that every player has to play English football’s top division at least once in their career.

Third season syndrome: The term is a quite popular analogy associated with Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho, mainly because he seems to lose all track of his team by the third term of his management. At United, he is currently facing his worst ever start to a Premier League campaign, just managing to stay in the top ten, and the only team alongside Brighton to have a negative goal difference in the top half. However, Jose Mourinho seems confident that of receiving a call-up
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is seemingly unconcerned by UEFA’s latest inquiry into the Premier League champions. The manager has instead welcomed the decision and wants swift action to be taken on the issue, so the club can entirely focus on football.

The investigation will be carried out for irregularities in Manchester City’s spending in 2014,

And while it is a proud moment for any player to get the national call-up, it is merrier for the player’s club as well. FIFA, the governing body of football, pays
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has now confirmed that he is open to selling former Arsenal man Alexis Sanchez in the New Year. The Chilean international has failed to make any sort of impact since moving to Old Trafford and has become a liability to the team.

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale believes that he would have been a more deserving winner of this year's FIFA's Puskas goal of the year award than actual claimant Mo Salah. Bale believes his overhead kick in the 2018 Champions League final should have secured the award, rather than the Egyptian’s strike against Everton in the December 2017 Merseyside derby. On winning the FourFourTwo magazine's goal of the year award, Bale said that Salah's victory had "diminished" the status of the Puskas award. "Yeah,

Liverpool snatched a dramatic late win against Merseyside rivals, Everton due to a bizarre 96th-minute goal from Liverpool’s forgotten man Divock Origi. Everton’s goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford's costly blunder allowed out of favor Divock Origi to carve his own piece of Merseyside history with a Liverpool winner deep into added time at Anfield. Both sides had several good chances to score with Everton producing an admirable performance and could have ended their infamous Anfield hoodoo since 1999 had they taken one of their numerous
