Premier League news

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank is set to tie down star midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur to a new deal. The Uruguay international's current contract expires in the summer of 2026 and Spurs are not willing to let him leave for free next season. Bentancur has made a bright start to the season under new boss Frank and has started in four out of their first six Premier League matches.

Antony claims to have been “disrespected” by Manchester United before his summer transfer to Real Betis was completed. The Brazil international enjoyed a productive loan spell with the Liga outfit over the second-half of last season and made it clear that a return to Andalusia was his preference. The Red Devils did not make that process easy, with Antony taking to holing up in a hotel at one stage as he endeavoured to push a deal through.

Ruben Amorim has been accused of "killing Benjamin Sesko's confidence" amid the Manchester United striker's slow start to life at Old Trafford. The Slovenian arrived from RB Leipzig this summer carrying the weight of expectation, tipped to solve United’s long-standing striker crisis. However, the 21-year-old has only scored once in his first seven appearances and is already being branded another expensive flop.

Everton midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was left fuming after being hit with a "mind boggling" suspension, while David Moyes called out the "poor level" of Premier League refereeing following a "shabby decision" during his team's 1-1 draw against West Ham. Dewsbury-Hall was booked for a challenge on Kyle Walker-Peters, a decision that now sidelines him for Everton's next Premier League game against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Jurgen Klopp has brutally roasted Manchester United, with the former Liverpool boss able to laugh at the struggles being endured by his former arch-rivals. The German tactician spent nine years locked in Premier League battle with the Red Devils, and ultimately emerged victorious as he was able to awaken sleeping giants on Merseyside from their slumber and turn them into serious contenders for the biggest domestic and continental prizes.

Phil Jones has ranked a sacked Manchester United manager above Liverpool boss Arne Slot, Tottenham's Thomas Frank and current Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim. Jones, a former United star who made 229 appearances for the club, has surprisingly revealed he considers Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to be better than all three of those managers, despite the Norwegian failing to win a trophy during his reign at Old Trafford.

Joe Cole has joked that Jose Mourinho, who he worked under at Chelsea, must have “kicked Daniel Levy's cat” at Tottenham to deserve being sacked on the eve of a major cup final. The outspoken Portuguese was relieved of his duties in north London after guiding Spurs to the 2021 League Cup final. The decision to part with a proven winner raised a few eyebrows, with the Special One still chasing down tangible success at 62 years of age.

Declan Rice has revealed he was inundated with messages from some icons of the game after his free-kick heroics for Arsenal against Real Madrid in the Champions League last season. The midfielder scored two outrageous goals from set-pieces in the quarter-final first leg at Emirates Stadium, inspiring a famous 3-0 victory that set up a comfortable 5-1 aggregate win for the Gunners.

Manchester United have reportedly made a shock decision on Tyrell Malacia's future as Ruben Amorim's side continue to struggle in the Premier League. The Portuguese coach is facing mounting pressure after overseeing three losses in the Red Devils' first six Premier League games of the new season. United were humbled 3-1 by Brentford at the weekend, blowing the chance to record back-to-back league wins for the first time under Amorim after beating Chelsea in their previous outing.

Jurgen Klopp has suggested that he will never return to management, with the ex-Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool boss claiming to miss nothing about life in the dugout. That was his existence for the best part of 25 years, having stepped straight into coaching with Mainz in 2001 after bringing his playing career to a close. Klopp walked away from Anfield as a modern day legend on Merseyside in the summer of 2024.

William Saliba has signed new long term contract with Arsenal. The French defender’s previous deal at Emirates Stadium was due to expire in the summer of 2027. Talks regarding fresh terms dragged on for some time, leading to inevitable questions over Saliba’s long-term future in north London, but he has now re-affirmed his commitment to the club.

Jurgen Klopp has explained why he believes Liverpool are at "risk of being exposed" under Arne Slot. The Dutchman's reign has been almost dreamlike since he arrived in England. He guided Liverpool to the Premier League crown last season and opened this campaign with a perfect run of seven straight wins in all competitions. But the first cracks showed at Selhurst Park on Saturday as Crystal Palace beat the Reds 2-1, and Klopp has raised the alarm bell with his observations.

Hugo Ekitike made an honest Liverpool admission and revealed his opinion about the arrival of Alexander Isak at Anfield. The French striker, snapped up for a hefty £69m in July, admitted he has no issue with the £125m Swede being parachuted into Liverpool from Newcastle on deadline day. In fact, the 23-year-old insists Isak’s arrival can only sharpen his own game.

Wayne Rooney has delivered a damning assessment of Florian Wirtz, claiming that the £116 million ($156m) star “damages” Liverpool. The German playmaker was acquired by the Reds, in what was a British record transfer at the time, to provide more creativity for the reigning Premier League champions. He has endured a slow start to life in English football, with questions already being asked of his place in Arne Slot’s strongest starting XI.

To outsiders, the fact that Manchester United have not sacked Ruben Amorim yet is one of the great mysteries of our time. There have been several occasions when the Portuguese would have been given his marching orders at many other top clubs. Can you imagine Real Madrid sticking with a coach that had lost eight out of 12 league games between last December and February?

Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a fresh injury blow as manager Thomas Frank confirmed that star striker Dominic Solanke has undergone surgery on his ankle injury. Solanke has not featured for Spurs since their 2-0 win over Manchester City in August. Solanke came on as a substitute in place of Richarlison and spent the final 12 minutes of the game on the pitch.

Arsenal are preparing a blockbuster new contract for Bukayo Saka that will make the England international one of the top earners at the North London club. Saka has entered the final two years of his existing deal with the Gunners and the club now want their star player to put pen to paper on a new deal and commit his future to them on a long-term basis.
