SV Werder Bremen appear to have good reason to hope that striker Niclas Füllkrug, who is currently on loan from West Ham United to AC Milan, will return.

Outgoing Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has emerged as a primary target for Serie A heavyweights AC Milan following an initial approach to his representatives. The highly-rated Spanish tactician features on a prestigious San Siro shortlist alongside Barcelona legend Xavi, though Premier League rivals Crystal Palace remain firmly in the running.

AC Milan have taken the drastic step of sacking head coach Massimiliano Allegri following a disastrous conclusion to the Serie A campaign.

It has already been reported that he is set to replace Antonio Conte as Napoli coach.

This weekend, set pieces made all the difference, determining whether a team would play in the Champions League or miss out on the most prestigious club tournament entirely.
