Marc Cucurella’s partner has confirmed that the Chelsea defender has ‘promised’ his Spain team-mates that he will dye his hair bright red if they beat England to the Euro 2024 title this weekend. The 25-year-old came in for heavy criticism across a tough season with Chelsea last term but has established himself as one of Spain’s key players in Germany, starting all but one of his nation’s matches en route to the final. After starring in Tuesday’s semi-final win over France, Cucurella is expected to continue his run in the side against England, with Spain set to compete in their…

England want Gareth Southgate to remain as manager regardless of the result in Sunday’s Euro 2024 final against Spain. Despite a series of underwhelming performances, the Three Lions have scraped and clawed their way into a first ever major tournament final on foreign soil. Southgate will, of course, be desperate to go one better than three years ago when England were agonisingly beaten on penalties by Italy at Wembley. Spain will start as strong and justifiable favourites in Berlin, but England’s powers of recovery are likely to stand them in good stead. Despite having encountered heavy criticism throughout the early…

Gary Neville says it ‘wouldn’t send a great message to the squad’ if England manager Gareth Southgate dropped Harry Kane for the Euro 2024 final. Southgate is facing fresh and increasing calls to drop his captain after substitute Ollie Watkins scored a late winner to decide the semi-final against the Netherlands on Wednesday night. Kane struggled to make an impact against the Dutch – though he did win and then score the penalty that dragged England back level after Xavi Simons’ 7th-minute opener in Dortmund. The penalty was Kane’s third goal of the Euros, making him the joint-top goalscorer at…

PSG have set their asking price for Manchester United and Arsenal target Xavi Simons following his impressive performances at Euro 2024. Simons started four of the Netherlands’ six games at the Euros, helping Ronald Koeman’s side reach the semi-finals before they were knocked out by England. The 21-year-old rifled a powerful shot past Jordan Pickford to give his side the lead against England before Harry Kane equalised and Ollie Watkins scored a late winner to send Gareth Southgate’s side through to Sunday’s final. Manchester United, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig have all expressed interest in signing Simons this summer…

William Gallas believes England’s latest Euro 2024 hero Ollie Watkins would represent the perfect signing for Arsenal this summer. Mikel Arteta has so far focused his transfer efforts on strengthening his defence and bolstering his goalkeeping department. David Raya has now penned a permanent contract, while a deal for Italy international centre-half Riccardo Calafiori is progressing at pace. Arsenal missed out on the title last season by the narrowest of margins and given they now boast arguably the strongest defence in the Premier League efforts are now expected to made to improve the goalscoring department. Kai Havertz’s form improved towards…

Spain will be ‘scared to death’ at the prospect of coming up against England star Jude Bellingham in the Euro 2024 final, according to Harry Redknapp. Gareth Southgate’s England meet Luis de la Fuente’s Spain in Sunday’s Euros final after wins over the Netherlands and France respectively in the semi-finals. Spain are favourites to become European champions for a fourth time and lift their first major trophy since 2012 after enjoying a flawless run to the final. La Roja topped Group B with a maximum nine points before thumping Georgia in the last-16 stage and knocking out hosts Germany in…

England will get an open top bus parade through London if they manage to bring football home at the Euro 2024 final this Sunday. The Three Lions will take part in a parade through the capital before meeting King Charles and other members of the royal family at Buckingham Palace if they manage to win the tournament. And there’s even talk of introducing a new bank holiday if England lifts the trophy. Preparations for the parade are already underway in case England manages to beat Spain in the finals on Sunday. But what exactly is the parade route? England’s potential…
