Former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has escalated his legal dispute with the British government over the £2.5 billion proceeds from the sale of the Premier League club.

Manchester United legend Patrice Evra has identified Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique as the "dream" candidate to lead the Red Devils, though he remains keen on seeing former midfielder Michael Carrick given a chance.

Mohamed Salah's form has been a significant source of concern for Liverpool this season, leading many to wonder if the Egyptian King has finally lost his touch.

He urged the management to make immediate changes next season by recruiting new players.

Pep Guardiola can breathe a sigh of relief after Manchester City lynchpin Rodri avoided a playing suspension for his scathing assessment of match officials. The FA confirmed on Monday that an independent Regulatory Commission has sanctioned Rodri for the media comments he made following a controversial 2-2 draw with Tottenham on February 1.

Liverpool's Champions League ambitions have been rocked by the news that Alisson will miss the first leg of their last-16 clash against Galatasaray.

Manchester United legend Patrice Evra has called out Theo Walcott, suggesting the former Arsenal winger was "probably drunk" when comparing the current Gunners side to United’s iconic 2007-08 Champions League-winning team. The Frenchman did not mince his words after Walcott suggested Mikel Arteta’s title-chasers could compete with Sir Alex Ferguson's legendary squad, joking that he is a "danger to society" for making the claim.

Manchester United have been told that they made a huge mistake in allowing “phenomenal” David de Gea to leave the club in 2023.

He has told GOAL why it has taken so long for Premier League giants to get back on the “right path” in the goalkeeping department.

Tottenham are hurtling towards disaster. They could be relegated from the Premier League, and at this point of this season from hell, their best hope of staying up may simply be that football can change very quickly.

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has jumped to the defence of Premier League leaders Arsenal, labelling the growing waves of criticism directed at Mikel Arteta’s side as "very unfair."

Grok, the AI tool available on the X social media platform that is owned by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, is facing action from the UK government after allowing users to generate “sickening and irresponsible” posts.

In an explosive tell-all interview, former Barcelona manager Xavi has revealed how the club’s hierarchy apparently blocked his attempts to sign current Arsenal midfield anchor Martin Zubimendi.

Sandro Tonali has been told that he “deserves to play for a big team”, with the Newcastle midfielder reported to be attracting admiring glances from the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.

Micah Richards has warned Arsenal that 'you haven't won anything yet' despite their dominant form, though he still considers Mikel Arteta’s side the primary candidates to lift the Champions League trophy.

Jurgen Klopp continues to see a return to management speculated on, and Gary McAllister has told GOAL that a second spell at Liverpool cannot be ruled out.
