Once he has completed 25 years as host of the BBC’s flagship sports programme, Lineker will stand down at the end of the current Premier League season.

Referee David Coote allegedly attempted to organise a ‘drugs party’ while he was officiating a match between Tottenham and Manchester City last month. On Monday, Coote was suspended from domestic refereeing duty by the PGMOL [Professional Game Match Officials Ltd] after a video emerged of him making derogatory comments about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp. The 42-year-old appeared to call Liverpool ‘s**t’ and Klopp a ‘German c**t’ after a match in 2020. Then on Wednesday, another video emerged appearing to show him snorting a white powder, which was supposedly recorded while Coote was on duty at Euro 2024. UEFA have also…

Tyson’s preparations for his fight with YouTube star-turned-boxer Paul were disrupted earlier this year when he suffered a stomach ulcer in May,…

An independent disciplinary committee found the 50-year-old Englishman guilty of one count of match fixing and one count of providing inside information on a match. The former Northern Ireland Open champion was suspended by the sport’s world governing body, the WPBSA, in March 2023 after suspicious betting was reported on his match with Joe Perry in the previous month’s Welsh Open.

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah shared advice he picked up from Arsene Wenger (Picture: Getty)Mohamed Salah has lifted the lid on a simple yet effective piece of advice he once received from Arsene Wenger when he spoke with the ex-Arsenal manager at Liverpool’s training ground. The 32-year-old Egyptian has established himself as one of the most revered attackers in Premier League history since swapping Roma for Liverpool back in 2017. In that time, Salah has only once dropped below 25 goals-a-season for the Merseyside giants in all competitions and the forward has flown out of the blocks again this term, netting…

Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of Real Madrid’s top transfer targets (Getty)Trent Alexander-Arnold is planning to see out the season at Liverpool with Real Madrid viewing a January transfer as ‘practically impossible’, according to reports in Spain. The 26-year-old’s contract with Liverpool is due to expire at the end of the season, meaning that he will be able to leave Anfield as a free agent. Real Madrid have made Alexander-Arnold one of their priority transfer targets and following the injury to Dani Carvajal, who is set to miss the rest of the season, the Spanish champions are looking to sign cover…

The captain has travelled to the Greek capital and is not believed to have an injury, with the selection news understood to have caused surprise within a dressing room that has been undermined by a flurry of withdrawals.

Is Paul vs Tyson free to watch on Netflix? Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will meet in a divisive fight this week, squaring off at the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium in Texas. Tyson, 58, and YouTube star Paul, 27, were due to fight in July but had to delay the bout when the heavyweight icon had a health scare.

BBC begins search for Gary Lineker’s replacement as Match of the Day host Speculation about who will replace Gary Lineker as the presenter of Match of the Day has begun in earnest, after the BBC confirmed the former England striker would step down at the end of the season. After weeks of tense negotiations, the BBC confirmed earlier reports that Lineker will step back from its flagship football highlights programme at the end of the 2024-25 season. However, he will stay with the broadcaster to cover the FA Cup in 2025-26 and the 2026 Fifa World Cup in the US,…

Emmanuel Petit fears Enzo Fernandez faces ‘months’ on the sidelines but is confident his manager has done him a favour in the long-run by taking him out of the firing line. The Argentina World Cup winner has shown only flashes of his potential since his £105 million move from Benfica 18 months ago and no longer appears to be a central cog in the plans of new Chelsea manager Ezno Maresca. Such has been the form of Moises Caicedo and the return to full fitness of Romeo Lavia that Fernandez has been ousted from the starting XI and been forced…

Mario Melchiot believes Chelsea should have done more to target ‘unstable’ Ben White during their 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring for Mikel Arteta’s side but Pedro Neto capped an impressive performance by netting the equaliser in the 70th minute. Neto started on Chelsea’s left flank but was switched to the right side of Chelsea’s attack shortly before his low strike from distance beat David Raya. Melchiot, however, believes Enzo Maresca should have kept Pedro Neto on Chelsea’s left, claiming that White had become ‘irritated’ after coming up against the Portuguese winger. ‘Even Chelsea…

Juventus are interested in signing Manchester United centre-back Victor Lindelof in January, with the Red Devils facing a decision on whether to cash in on the defender while they can. The Sweden international is out of contract at the end of the season and it seems very unlikely that he will stay on at Old Trafford beyond that point. The 30-year-old has made just four Premier League appearances so far this season and all of them have been as a substitute. While new manager Ruben Amorim will surely have some say on matters, it seems that Lindelof’s time with the…

Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has picked out Manchester City’s Kyle Walker and Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate as the two defenders he finds the ‘toughest to beat’ in the Premier League. Martinelli, 23, is enjoying his sixth season with Arsenal and has come up against several of the most highly rated and decorated centre-backs in world football in that time. With games coming thick and fast for the Gunners, Martinelli is set for plenty more intriguing tussles heading into the winter period, starting at home to Nuno Espirito Santo’s high-flying Nottingham Forest in ten days’ time. An out-of-sorts Arsenal may well be…

Sir Chris Hoy revealed his cancer was terminal last month (Picture: ITV)Sir Chris Hoy and his wife Sarra say their thoughts immediately went to their children after they were given devastating diagnoses by doctors just weeks apart from each other. Six-time Olympic champion Hoy, one of Britain’s most successful ever athletes, was first informed he had prostate cancer in September 2023 and revealed last month that his condition was terminal. Tragically, Hoy’s partner Sarra – whom he married in 2010 – was herself diagnosed with a ‘very active and aggressive’ form of multiple sclerosis shortly after the track cycling legend…
