Ruben Amorim has declared that no Manchester United player will be allowed to leave the club in the January transfer window, handing blows to wantaway duo Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee. United are still at the gates of the Champions League qualifying spots but there appears to be no chance of the club strengthening in the winter market to boost their chances of finishing in the top four.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has delivered a fitness update on Declan Rice, with the England international midfielder nursing a knee complaint. Rice was forced to sit out the impressive victory over Aston Villa, with the Gunners barely missing his presence in their engine room, and questions continue to be asked of whether he will be ready to face Bournemouth.

Chelsea's season was already bordering on crisis when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Bournemouth on Tuesday night. Expectations are high at Stamford Bridge and a dreadful December brought about questions over just how ready this team is to compete. There was turbulence, sure, but the surprise sacking of Enzo Maresca on New Year's Day could torpedo their 2025-26 campaign altogether.

Chelsea’s search for a new manager continues to be narrowed down, with three more potential candidates to succeed Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge being ruled out of the running. It is being claimed that former Blues midfielder Cesc Fabregas, current Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner and highly-rated Porto boss Francesco Farioli are not being considered in west London.

Jesse Lingard still believes that he could have revived his Manchester United if given a proper chance to do so following a productive loan spell at West Ham. The 33-year-old midfielder finds himself back in the free agent pool at present, following a stint in South Korea, but continues to mull over what could have been for him at Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford needs to improve in two key areas in order to convince Barcelona to sign him from Manchester United permanently. The England forward has impressed in his first six months for Hansi Flick's side but there is still work for him to do and he is one of three players whose future at the Camp Nou is up in the air heading into the second half of the season.

Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos is reportedly lining up a consortium that could see him rekindle his professional relationship with La Liga giants Sevilla. The World Cup winner has taken in two spells with his boyhood club as a player but, while waiting on offers to continue his career on the field, is now exploring the possibility of becoming part of an ownership group.

Manchester City have reportedly taken another huge stride towards completing a big-money transfer for Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo. The Ghana international is expected to be on the move in the January window as there is a £65 million ($87m) clause in his contract with the Cherries that can be triggered by any of his many suitors. He could soon be heading to the Etihad Stadium.

It has been revealed that Enzo Maresca informed Chelsea of his desire to quit as manager immediately after the disappointing draw with Bournemouth. That match, which finished 2-2, proved to be the Italian’s final game at the helm. He did not, however, get to walk away on his own terms. Instead, it was announced on New Year’s Day that he had been sacked by the Blues.

We're only halfway through the season but Chelsea are looking for a new manager, after parting company with Enzo Maresca on New Year's Day. On the one hand, the Italian's exit is a surprise, given he won both the Conference League and Club World Cup during his first season at Stamford Bridge. However, it had been clear for some time that Maresca wasn't entirely happy in west London, with the former Leicester City boss sensationally going public with a perceived lack of support within the club after last month's Champions League loss to Atalanta.

Gianluigi Donnarumma lost his cool at the end of Manchester City’s frustrating goalless draw at Sunderland, with the towering Italian goalkeeper becoming caught up in an ugly post-game spat. City manager Pep Guardiola was among those to step in as peacemaker after seeing his first-choice shot-stopper clash with combative Black Cats star Luke O’Nien.

Chelsea’s stance on appointing a big-name successor to Enzo Maresca, such as Jurgen Klopp or Zinedine Zidane, has been revealed. The Blues find themselves back in the market for a new boss after making another change in the dugout at the start of 2026. Rather than move for a proven winner, the Premier League heavyweights are expected to stick with their approach of bringing in a more youthful coach who could build towards a brighter future.

Hertha Berlin fans haven't had much to cheer about in recent years. Their decade-long stay in the Bundesliga ended after the team slumped to an 18th-placed finish in the 2022-23 season, just four years on from Lars Windhorst's €224 million minority takeover that came with the billionaire's promise to build a "true ‘big-city club’, like those in London or Madrid."

Tottenham fans continue to vent their anger in the direction of head coach Thomas Frank, with disgruntled supporters chanting “we want our money back” during a “boring” goalless draw with Brentford. Frank took a point off his former employers, when returning to familiar surroundings, but is facing plenty of uncomfortable questions regarding his tenure in north London.

Premier League clubs splashed out £3 billion ($4bn) on transfers in a record-breaking summer window, more than those in the Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A combined, with Liverpool accounting for £415m ($561m) of that eye-watering amount on the back of their 2024-25 title success under Arne Slot. Mega-money was also spent by the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, with Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Fulham the only three clubs to invest less than £50m ($67m) in strengthening their respective squads.

Chelsea are back in the hunt for a new manager, after taking the decision to part with Enzo Maresca, and reports in France claim the Premier League giants “couldn’t care less” about who they impact when bringing in a new boss.

Pep Guardiola was in a positive mood after Manchester City drew 0-0 at Sunderland even though it meant his side fell four points behind Arsenal in the Premier League title race. City failed to score for the first time in 10 league matches and lost Nico Gonzalez and Savinho to injury. Guardiola, however, could be seen smiling during his post-match interview.

West Ham are interested in signing Raheem Sterling from Chelsea in the January transfer window as they aim to climb clear of Premier League relegation trouble in the remainder of the campaign. The Hammers are currently 18th, four points from safety, and are looking to reshape their squad as they look to retain their top-flight status.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot channeled former Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou as he insisted that his Reds team remain "who we are" after their disappointing goalless draw with Leeds United, as he rallied against poor refereeing decisions, and pointed to a number of examples in which his players "stayed on their feet".

Manchester City lost crucial ground to Arsenal in the Premier League title race as they could only manage a 0-0 draw away to Sunderland. Pep Guardiola's side had a poor first half and Erling Haaland had a bad day at the office, only having one proper chance which he sent straight at Sunderland's superb goalkeeper Robin Roefs. Gianluigi Donnarumma was even more impressive down the other end.

Chelsea should appoint John Terry as the club's new manager after parting ways with Enzo Maresca, according to former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys. The broadcaster has claimed that the former Blues defender should be given the chance to manage his first senior club at Stamford Bridge, having served them with distinction as a player.

Manchester United are interested in signing Jean-Philippe Mateta if he becomes available, with the Crystal Palace striker's contract set to expire at the end of next season. The France striker's future remains uncertain, with contract negotiations stalling as his deal runs down.

Liverpool extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to seven games on New Year's Day but Arne Slot's ragged Reds continued to flatter to deceive in a drab 0-0 draw with Leeds United at Anfield. Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz had looked lively in the opening half hour on Merseyside, with both going close to breaking the deadlock. However, the English champions had run out of ideas by the final quarter of a largely uneventful game and Leeds looked to have nicked all three points through in-form forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin - only for the former Everton striker to be flagged for offside after hooking the ball into the net.

Chelsea will be managed by Calum McFarlane when they play Manchester City this weekend, after confirming the sacking of Enzo Maresca on New Year's Day. McFarlane is the club's current Under-21 coach but he will step up to manage the senior team in Maresca's stead, and will also face the media on Friday.

Chelsea have been told they are the "worst-run club in the history of the sport" after sacking Enzo Maresca. The club made the shock decision to move the Italian on, as they look to compete on multiple fronts once more. They remain in the Champions League and are fifth in the Premier League, while also remaining in the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup.

Tottenham Hotspur winger Brennan Johnson is undergoing a medical at Crystal Palace as his £33.5 million ($45m) transfer edges closer. Johnson has failed to nail down a starting place at Spurs this season under new head coach Thomas Frank and he is set to leave the club after two-and-a-half seasons in north London.
