Getting more complicated by the day, this shared club ownership business. It can make the playing field far from level when player transfers are mooted between clubs under the same ownership umbrella: West Ham’s failed bid to land Eli Junior Kroupi was a case in point in the Winter window. Such shenanigans could well repeat themselves in the summer with West Ham, Everton, Newcastle United and others all interested in Emanuel Emegha, a talented striker with 11 goals in 21 games in League1 this season. The forward plays for Strasbourg: Unfortunately that would be the same Strasbourg who are owned by Blue…
Tottenham Hotspur’s poor season has placed Ange Postecoglou under increasing scrutiny, with reports suggesting that the club is already exploring potential successors. Despite early promise, Spurs find themselves sitting in 14th place in the Premier League, having crashed out of both domestic cup competitions. Their recent 2-0 defeat to Fulham marked their 15th league loss of the campaign, deepening concerns over the Australian’s tenure. While Tottenham’s Europa League run offers a glimmer of hope—having advanced to the quarter-finals after edging out AZ Alkmaar 3-2 on aggregate—Postecoglou’s future remains uncertain. Reports indicate that the club hierarchy acknowledges the role injuries have…
West Ham United striker Michail Antonio has opened up on his horrific car crash back in December. The 34-year-old has revealed how he came close to losing his life in the devastating incident but has vowed to shake off a badly broken leg to play football again. Antonio shattered his femur when he lost control of his Ferrari and crashed into a tree in Epping Forest.

Cristian Romero exit talk explodes as Tottenham set new contract deadline amid Real Madrid interest Tottenham could be ready to offload influential centre-back Cristian Romero this summer, following reports they have set a deadline for the Real Madrid target to agree a new contract in north London. The Argentina international’s current deal still has two years left to run, but Spurs have been keen to tie Romero down to a new one amid concrete interest from the Spanish giants in the 26-year-old. Romero has battled through injury issues for the past two seasons, with the current campaign proving particularly tough for…
Rangers ran out impressive 4-2 victors against Borussia Dortmund in what has proven to be a historic fixture for both clubs. First-half goals from James Tavernier and Alfredo Morelos were followed up by John Lundstrum and a Dan-Axel Zagadou own goal to mark a historic night in Germany for the touring Scots. While the important thing for the reigning Scottish Champions is ultimately the resounding victory they have earned, it will be even sweeter knowing they have broken a nearly 70-year-old record for Scottish football. By scoring four goals against German opposition tonight, Rangers became the first team to achieve…
Real Madrid have reportedly identified Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero as one of three centre-back targets. Los Blancos are keen to strengthen their backline this season after seeing their lack of depth exposed following injuries to David Alaba and Eder Militao. Alaba spent over a year on the sidelines before he returned to action in January, while Militao is out for the rest of the season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Those injuries created an opportunity for academy product Raul Asencio to establish himself as part of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad. While Asencio has proven to be a valuable member of the squad, Real Madrid are still expected to add to…
Kansas running back Devin Neal works out at the NFL football scouting combine in Indianapolis, Saturday, March 1, 2025. The current iteration of the Big 12 features 16 teams, yet one-eighth of the players at the league-wide Big 12 Pro Day event, which begins on Tuesday at Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas, come from the Kansas football program. That’s a testament to the sheer size of the Jayhawks’ outgoing senior class and the proportion of those players attempting to take advantage of this chance to pursue their professional football dreams. The event will provide these NFL hopefuls…
LONDON (AP) – West Ham striker Michail Antonio is “100%” confident he will play again as he recovers from a car crash that left him with a “completely shattered” leg and a realization “how close I was to dying.” Antonio crashed his Ferrari into a tree just outside London on a wet and windy day on Dec. 7. In an interview with the BBC, the Jamaica international said he broke his femur bone in four places and required an operation where surgeons “put a pole in my thigh with four bolts.” Antonio, who turns 35 this month, recently went to…
There was an enormous sense of excitement heading into Adam Peters’ second free agency as Washington Commanders general manager. The team made a memorable run to the NFC Championship game in 2024 and had a bounty of financial resources available to strengthen the ranks further. Fans were anticipating some big moves in pursuit of going one better next time around. Peters didn’t spend for the sake of it. Once again, he was methodical in his roster construction, signing veterans to one-year deals and extending the large majority of free agents who made a decent contribution last season. This quickly became a recipe…
