“The appointment of a new prime minister and a new government would significantly curb Marine Le Pen’s party’s influence. Right now, everyone realises that the future of the government lies in her hands, since it can only stay in power thanks to her goodwill. She is playing this card well by raising the stakes. If a new government is appointed in the near future, whether on a joint (undoubtedly more left-wing) basis or as a ‘technical’ government, her influence would be severely limited, if not reduced to zero.”

“Rather, the entire political elite must ask itself whether it has grasped the seriousness of the situation. France is sitting on Europe’s highest mountain of debt and needs to make cutbacks in order to preserve some budgetary leeway and not gamble away the dented confidence of rating agencies and bond markets. There has been no shortage of warning shots. And one thing is also clear: in the coming months, France’s ability to act will be even more limited than it already is. This is bad news for Europe, which should actually be worrying about other things in view of the geopolitical challenges.”

Victor Osimhen is determined to see the season through with Galatasaray – but hopes to put himself in the shop window for Premier League clubs with his performances across the campaign. The 25-year-old Nigeria striker has hit the ground running in Turkey after completing a season-long loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray in September, scoring nine goals in his opening 11 games in all competitions. There had been intense speculation surrounding Osimhen’s future throughout much of the summer transfer window, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain all credited with an interest in the forward. Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ahli…

Louis Saha fears Ruben Amorim faces the sternest test of his Manchester United tenure to date when the Red Devils face a rejuvenated Arsenal. The Gunners appear to have got their season back on track following three straight victories which have seen Mikel Arteta’s men amass 13 goals. United, meanwhile, have shown signs of promise under their new boss who has presided over two wins and a draw in his first three games at the helm. Saha, however, acknowledges an in-form Arsenal will represent a totally different proposition at the Emirates Stadium this evening. ‘The players need to actually use…

  Heavyweight legend Wladimir Klitschko is ready to come out of retirement to fight Tyson Fury in 2025 in one of the biggest rematches in boxing history. ‘Dr Steel Hammer’ and his brother Vitali dominated the sport for over a decade with Wladimir still holding the record for longest reign as heavyweight champion in history at 4,382 days. That era of dominance came to an end in 2015 with Fury beating Klitschko to take his world titles. Two years later, the Ukrainian lost to Anthony Joshua in an all-time classic at Wembley before retiring from the sport. Reports last week…

Ally McCoist believes Liverpool should make a move for West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen if Mohamed Salah leaves Anfield at the end of the season. Salah is set to enter the final six months of his contract with Liverpool and will leave the club on a free transfer next summer if he fails to agree a new deal. The Egypt international dropped another hint that this could be his last season at Liverpool following their 2-0 win over Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday. McCoist insists Liverpool should make it their ‘priority’ to keep Salah but feels Bowen should be the…

Dominic Solanke is not yet back to full fitness but will train ahead of Tottenham’s clash with Bournemouth on Thursday. Solanke was due to play against Fulham on Sunday but was a late withdrawal after falling ill in the hours before the match. The England international has made progress since then but Postecoglou admitted that the striker was not yet fully fit for the trip to Bournemouth where Solanke signed from in a £65million deal this summer. ‘Everyone from the weekend got through ok,’ the Spurs boss said in his pre-match press conference on Wednesday. ‘Archie got a knock but…
