Mudryk in hot water

Mykhailo Mudryk angered Chelsea with his actions surrounding the Usyk vs Fury fight.

Man Utd's demise

Man Utd suffered another embarrassing defeat to Bournemouth.

It was the third consecutive game without Marcus Rashford, who has been effectively banished at this point.

Ruben Amorim clearly needs to clean house to get Man Utd back on top.

A new striker is desperately needed, so Man Utd will have paid close attention to Victor Osimhen's exploits on Sunday.

Arsenal's 'new' No.9?

Speaking of in-form strikers, Gabriel Jesus' recent form may make Arsenal think twice about pursuing a new forward.

A much more pressing need for 2025 could be a new winger.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some transfer news from around the world. Fabrizio Romano has given Liverpool a positive Rayan Cherki update.

Hakim Ziyech could return to the Premier League as he desperately wants to get out of Galatasaray.

Barcelona are ready to axe Frenkie de Jong.

Roberto de Zerbi has opened the door for a potential transfer of Paul Pogba.

Another Man Utd star could follow Scott McTominay to Napoli.

Lastly, Nico Williams is clear about which club he wants to join.
