Liverpool cult hero Emile Heskey believes that USMNT star Christian Pulisic could be a useful replacement for Mohamed Salah at Anfield.

If they didn't know it beforehand, then Sunday's north London derby seemingly confirmed one thing for those watching on as Tottenham succumbed to Arsenal: Spurs are in a relegation battle.

Manchester United have been warned off a stunning transfer swoop for Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior.

Axel Disasi has admitted he need to lean on the support of his family after being exiled to Chelsea's 'bomb squad' during his time at Stamford Bridge. The French defender secured a move to West Ham United on loan for the rest of the 2025-26 season at the end of the winter transfer window, giving himself the opportunity to play Premier League football again after being frozen out in west London.
