Chelsea set a Champions League record during their thrashing of Ajax on Wednesday. Stamford Bridge roared with pride as Chelsea’s young guns produced a night for the ages, dismantling a helpless Ajax side 5-1 in the Champions League.

Chelsea have been dealt a major blow after they decided not to include a buy-back clause in the deal for Diego Moreira, who has been dubbed the "new Marcelo" amid a strong run of form.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has been encouraged to swap Old Trafford for the Allianz Arena and link up with Harry Kane, with former Red Devils coach Rene Meulensteen billing him as the “perfect fit” for Bayern Munich.

Manchester United have switched their attention to Elliot Anderson after failing to sign Brighton's Carlos Baleba, as Ruben Amorim eyes a midfield overhaul. The 22-year-old Nottingham Forest dynamo has become one of the most sought-after names in English football following his breakthrough into the Three Lions squad. United had already been monitoring Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace and revisiting interest in Baleba, but it is now being reported that Anderson has emerged as the standout target.

Liverpool have reportedly identified Antoine Semenyo as a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, with a January swoop lined up for the Bournemouth player after the emergence of a release clause in his contract.

"Tiger tamer" Antonio Conte has vowed to "bring the whip" to his Napoli flops after their humiliating Champions League defeat to PSV, while hitting out at the club's summer transfer business. The Italian tactician watched in horror as his side were thrashed 6-2 in Eindhoven despite taking an early lead through Scott McTominay’s 31st-minute header. What began as a promising night for the Partenopei quickly turned into a nightmare, as they were torn apart by a ruthless PSV team that exposed every weakness in Conte’s outfit.

Jose Mourinho has admitted that "killer" Newcastle were too strong for Benfica, who could not "compete with their horsepower" during their Champions League mauling on Tuesday evening at St. James' Park.

Nottingham Forest have confirmed Sean Dyche as their third manager of the 2025-26 season after brutally sacking Ange Postecoglou. The Australian was shown the door just minutes after a 3–0 thumping at the hands of Chelsea on Saturday afternoon. Postecoglou's brief and bruising 39-day tenure produced no wins in eight games across all competitions. It was a miserable run that left Forest languishing in the relegation zone and their supporters furious.

Nuno Espirito Santo tore into his "poor" West Ham team as relegation fears grow after a damaging defeat to Brentford on Monday.

Chelsea posted a horrendous stat in a lucky first-half escape against a struggling Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon. Premier League action resumed this weekend following the international break, and the Blues travelled to Forest for the opening fixture of matchday eight.

Former Premier League manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed a key piece of advice from ex-Chelsea and Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho after finding his job under threat.

Manchester United star Matthijs de Ligt revealed why the Red Devils have always held a special place in his heart, and it all traces back to two club icons, Cristiano Ronaldo and Edwin van der Sar. Long before he became one of Europe’s most sought-after defenders, De Ligt was just a football-obsessed kid in the Netherlands. He might have come through Ajax’s legendary academy, but beneath that red-and-white shirt, his footballing heart was always rooted for United.
