Crystal Palace are set to make a move for out-of-favour Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere in January, according to the Telegraph.
The twenty-five year old is keen to work his way into Gareth Southgate’s thoughts ahead of next summer’s World Cup finals in Russia with a loan move looking likely once the transfer window reopens.
Hodgson has made no secret of his admiration for Wilshere, who spent the majority of last season away from his parent club in a spell with Bournemouth, for whom he made twenty-seven appearances.
For the Gunners, he has played one hundred and sixty-five times in all competitions, scoring twelve goals though he has made just two Premier League starts so far this season.
He has been capped thirty-four times for the Three Lions, …
AC Milan president and former Italy Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has received a four-year prison sentence for his part in a tax fraud scandal.
The 76-year-old, along with 10 others, was on trial after it was alleged the defendants were involved in a scheme to purchase American movies for his company Mediaset, through an offshore company, and had failed to declare payments properly to avoid taxes.
It was also claimed that Berlusconi had re-licensed the films, and pocketed the difference, making the Milan supremo some 250 million euros.
Berlusconi has been involved in a number of legal procedures relating to his business ventures, but has either been cleared, or the cases have been dropped due to time constraints.
However, this time he has been found g…
Jordan Pickford has become the first goalkeeper to keep five clean sheets across the first five games of a European Championships, after England s 4-0 rout of Ukraine.
Harry Kane scored either side of Harry Maguire s brilliant header before Jordan Henderson s first England goal – on his 62nd cap – sealed an emphatic quarter-final triumph in Rome.
England now head back to Wembley for a semi-final clash with Denmark, who defeated the Czech Republic, on Wednesday, with a first appearance in a final since 1966 in the offing.
While England s attack clicked, it is the Three Lions defensive resilience which has seen them through, with Saturday s win bringing up their seventh clean sheet in a row.
It is the first time England have gone as many games without c…
Federico Chiesa has vowed to make an impact for Juventus after a horrible year that saw him sidelined with a long-term injury.
The Italy international scored the winner in a 2-1 Coppa Italia victory against Monza on Thursday, his first goal in 378 days after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament 12 months ago.
Juventus have endured a turbulent spell in Chiesa s absence, ceding their Serie A crown to Milan and finding themselves adrift of runaway leaders Napoli this time around, as well as exiting the Champions League in the group stage.
Like the Bianconeri, Chiesa has a point to prove on his return and is pushing to aid his colleagues after being helpless amid their struggles in the past year.
It has been a horrible year for me. I am now focusing on t…
Sadio Mane is ready to make the move from Liverpool to Real Madrid and would be a success at the Santiago Bernabeu, according to former Barcelona midfielder Oriol Romeu.
Mane has been in stunning form for the Premier League leaders in 2019, scoring 11 goals in his last 11 games in all competitions at club level as the Reds challenge for glory on two fronts.
The forward is reportedly a top transfer target for Zinedine Zidane, with an overhaul apparently imminent after the coach s return to Madrid.
Mane netted against the LaLiga club in last season s Champions League final and Romeu, who played alongside the Senegal international at Southampton, believes he can help get Madrid back on track.
He is ready [for the move], Romeu told Marca of Mane…
“There are offers for Cakir, we continue to receive offers. It’s been said Liverpool have made an offer,” Agaoglu said.
“So a team that is undefeated in the Premier League wants my keeper. In other words Liverpool’s goalkeeper is in my goal.”
Those are the words of Trabzonspor club president Ahmet Agaoglu who has made it clear that Liverpool have made some form of offer to try and sign goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir. It certainly seems as if he may be trying to stir up some interest from other clubs, but given the fact that the Reds have put so much into the development of Alisson as their number one goalkeeper, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them do the same for a strong and capable number two.
There could well be nothing to these repo…
Shkodran Mustafi has signed a short-term contract at Schalke after leaving Premier League side Arsenal.
Mustafi s deal at Emirates Stadium was due to expire in June and the Germany defender will now play out the remainder of the current campaign back in his homeland with Bundesliga strugglers Schalke.
The 28-year-old joined the Gunners from LaLiga outfit Valencia in 2016 and leaves with two FA Cup winners medals.
However, Mustafi fell down the pecking order at Arsenal and only three of his 2020-21 appearances have come in the Premier League after recovering from hamstring surgery.
Musti has been a key player for us for a long period of time, said Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.
He played a very important part in my first season as manager and I d …
Best odds: 16/25
Bookmaker:
Bayer Leverkusen are set to host Borussia Dortmund in a bid to secure their position at the summit of the Bundesliga table on Sunday afternoon. It should be an interesting encounter between two high-quality sides.
Dortmund managed to secure a victory against Borussia Monchengladbach in their previous outing, but they enter this match trailing their upcoming opponents by a considerable 10-point margin.
Bayer Leverkusen
Leverkusen have been on an impressive winning streak throughout the season. Xabi Alonso s men secured a comfortable 3-0 victory away at Werder Bremen in their previous outing, marking their 11th win in 12 league games. Their sole interruption came from second-placed Bayern Munich in all competitions, and even th…
Milestone and Alt Overs are a great way to find big plus-money plays. With all the NFL odds available at bet365, there are a ton of spots to find the perfect matchups to cash these lucrative and profitable Overs.
In Week 11 odds, I’m supporting a conservative 25-yard total for favorable odds, banking on a rookie running back to maintain his impressive performance, and making my way to Houston to target a young wideout’s milestone.
Let’s get after it in my latest NFL picks.

data-mm-id=”_uj8fabobz”>The time has come. On Wednesday, NBC Sports' Chris Simms dropped his annual NFL draft quarterback rankings. This is a date NFL draft nerds either look forward to or dread because Simms' rankings are always controversial. He's usually in line with general consensus on the top prospects but there is always at least one extremely hot take that goes against what basically everybody in draft circles thinks. And sometimes he's right!Last year he had C.J. Stroud as the top prospect in the draft over Bryce Young. That wasn't exactly a scalding take but it was far from an agreed-upon opinion and ended up aging very well. In those same rankings, though, Simms had Hendon Hooker as a better prospect over Anthony Richardson. The jury is technically s…
