Nicolas Jackson’s shock switch from Chelsea to Bayern Munich - which was agreed a year out from signing a new contract at Stamford Bridge - has been branded a "bit harsh" despite the Senegal international striker not being a "natural goal-scorer". Blues legend Roberto Di Matteo has offered his take on a surprising switch agreed late in the summer window.

Bayern Munich forward Luis Diaz lit up with joy when handed a customised PlayStation 5 controller dedicated to his late friend and former Liverpool teammate, Diogo Jota.

The England captain contributed with a brace and an assist as the reigning German champions registered a 5-0 win and maintained their 100 percent win record to start the 2025-26 Bundesliga campaign. With the two strikes on Saturday, Kane has now taken his goals tally to eight this term.

Harry Kane has spoken out in defence of new Bayern Munich team-mate Nicolas Jackson, with the odd question being asked of why the Senegalese striker has been drafted in by the Bundesliga giants.

Tributes have started to fly in after the tragic death of legendary English boxer Ricky Hatton on Sunday.

Serge Gnabry is building his case for a new contract at Bayern Munich. The winger scored as the Bundesliga champions ran out 5-0 winners against Hamburg at the weekend. Now with two goals and two assists to his name this season, he will hope to be offered a new deal before his current one runs out and he is forced to leave in a free transfer next summer.

German legend Sami Khedira has hailed Bayern Munich youngster Lennart Karl as the hottest talent in the country. Khedira believes Karl’s attitude sets him up for success and feels that Bayern’s thin squad will provide him with the opportunities needed to develop.
