Everything you need to know about the new Arsenal kits for the 2026-27 season.

Jamie Carragher has launched a scathing attack on Chelsea's ownership, claiming the club has been transformed from a trophy-winning machine into a failed and expensive experiment. Writing in the wake of Liam Rosenior becoming the fifth permanent managerial casualty in four years, the pundit argues that the Blues now require new owners more than a new head coach.

Manchester United have failed in their attempt to overturn Lisandro Martinez’s red card following a hair-pulling incident involving Leeds United striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The FA has upheld the three-match ban, leaving interim boss Michael Carrick with a major defensive headache.

Barcelona icon Robert Lewandowski has provided an enigmatic response to growing speculation linking him with a summer move to Italian heavyweights Juventus and AC Milan. During a high-profile livestream that will have interested USMNT stars Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie, the veteran striker hinted that a decision regarding his expiring contract will be announced shortly.

Sebastian Coe has admitted that the completion date for Manchester United’s ambitious £2 billion stadium remains "slightly uncertain." The chair of the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force highlighted complex land acquisition issues as the primary hurdle for the proposed 100,000-seater venue. While the project remains a priority for Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Coe urged patience as the club navigates a massive logistical challenge.

Chelsea’s hierarchy is reportedly resistant to the idea of appointing Jose Mourinho for a third managerial spell despite growing fan pressure following Liam Rosenior’s exit. While the legendary Portuguese coach is currently excelling at Benfica, club insiders suggest that a fairytale return to west London is unlikely as the board prioritises other candidates.

Arne Slot has outlined the "best-case scenario" for Alexander Isak to reach his peak form at Anfield following a stop-start debut season. The Liverpool boss urged patience with the £125 million ($169m) record signing, who has struggled with injuries since his deadline-day move from Newcastle.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has confirmed that Hugo Ekitike has undergone successful surgery after suffering a devastating Achilles tendon injury against Paris Saint-Germain. The French forward now faces a significant period on the sidelines, with the injury officially ruling him out of the 2026 World Cup and much of next season.

Super-agent Jorge Mendes has laid down a challenge to Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal and the next generation of football stars. Speaking on the requirements for long-term greatness, Mendes used the blueprints of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the ultimate standards. The agent emphasised that discipline off the pitch is what separates the legends from the lost talents.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is reportedly prepared to sack Alvaro Arbeloa this summer following a disappointing campaign at Santiago Bernabeu. Despite the head coach enjoying significant support from within the dressing room and certain sections of the board, the club hierarchy is already considering elite replacements to restore domestic and European dominance.

At just 17 years of age, Vasilije Kostov is rewriting the record books at the highest level of Serbian football. The latest jewel to emerge from Red Star Belgrade's famed academy, the attacking midfielder is defying all logic as he puts Europe's elite on red alert with a stellar individual campaign for his country's biggest club.

Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford has admitted that his return to the Etihad Stadium has not resulted in the "best possible outcome" after a challenging campaign. Despite starting the season as Pep Guardiola's first choice, the 23-year-old was displaced by the deadline-day arrival of Gianluigi Donnarumma and has since been restricted to cup appearances.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has reportedly ordered Manchester United to transfer list Manuel Ugarte following a disappointing showing against Leeds United. The INEOS chief, who watched the 2-1 defeat live at Old Trafford, was left unimpressed by the midfielder's contribution. Signed for £51 million just two seasons ago, the Uruguayan now looks set to be the first casualty of a major summer clear-out.

Nottingham Forest playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White is reportedly mounting a serious challenge for a spot in Thomas Tuchel’s England World Cup squad following a spectacular run of form. Despite being omitted from the recent 35-man provisional group, the 26-year-old’s recent hat-trick against Burnley has reignited the debate regarding his inclusion ahead of the summer tournament.

Former Chelsea defender William Gallas has called on the club's hierarchy to appoint Diego Simeone as their next permanent head coach to end the ongoing crisis at Stamford Bridge. Following the dismissal of Liam Rosenior after just 106 days, Gallas believes only a disciplined leader can transform the current squad into a group of "warriors".

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice made a point of telling his team-mates after Sunday's Premier League loss to title rivals Manchester City, "It's not done." And he was right, it's not. The title race is far from finished, as underlined by City's laboured win over Burnley on Wednesday. Pep Guardiola's men may have gone top of the table with their 1-0 victory at Turf Moor - but only on goals scored.

"It's a long way from Cumbria", said James Trafford after 25 friends and family travelled to watch the Manchester City goalkeeper star in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley in March. But many of those who were there to support Trafford that day will again be making the same 300-plus mile journey on Saturday to see him in action against Southampton in City's FA Cup semi-final, and will hope to do so again for the final on May 16.
