Premier League sides Everton and Crystal Palace have been handed a major transfer boost ahead of the winter market as Italian outfit Lecce prepare to listen to offers for prized centre-back Tiago Gabriel. Despite tying the 21-year-old defender down until 2030, the Serie A club are willing to sanction his departure in the new year.

A rare goalscoring phenomenon!

Mikel Arteta hit out at Arsenal’s ‘terrible’ schedule after his much-changed side beat Everton 2-0 to draw level with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. The win came less than three days after a draining trip to Munich, and the Gunners are still counting the cost of that game, with Bukayo Saka facing up to 12 matches out with a quad injury.

Ezri Konsa has laid down a marker for Arsenal's title credentials, insisting that consistent winning is the only path to glory after the Gunners moved level with Manchester City. The defender enjoyed a landmark afternoon at the Emirates, opening his account for the club in a dominant 2-0 victory over Everton that capitalised on City's 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa.
