Ben Doak is on loan at Middlesbrough this season Liverpool loanee Ben Doak is the most threatening player in the Championship at the moment, reckons former Middlesborough and Manchester United defender Gary Pallister. The 19-year-old is on loan at Boro from Anfield this season, with Michael Carrick’s team pushing for a return to the Premier League. The Scotland international has played 14 times in the Championship so far this campaign, with 12 of those being in Carrick’s starting XI.

Ex-Premier League boss Nigel Pearson has provided an update on his health and says ‘learning to walk again has been an incredible challenge’. The 61-year-old, who managed Leicester City and Watford in the top-flight, bravely revealed last year that he was battling a neurological issue. Pearson had been using crutches to walk for a number of weeks towards the end of his tenure as Bristol City manager and remained seated for several of their Championship matches before his exit in October 2023. He has not featured to football management since leaving the Robins and has instead been focusing on his…

Failing a medical at Liverpool would be a devastating blow for most players but within a few weeks ex-Premier League striker Loic Remy had already turned down Arsenal and signed for Chelsea. Intent on bringing the Frenchman to Anfield, Liverpool triggered a £8.5m release clause in Remy’s QPR contract in the summer of 2014. Remy, who had scored 14 goals in 27 games on loan at Newcastle United the previous season, even joined the Liverpool squad on their USA tour but the deal collapsed due to a failed medical. At the time, QPR boss Harry Redknapp said it was ‘not…

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…

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…

Ruben Amorim has warned Manchester United fans that ‘the storm will come’ and his team will ‘be found out in some games’ as he tries to implement his style of play. The new Red Devils manager has made an unbeaten start at the club, with two wins and a draw in his opening three matches. However, the draw came against Ipswich and the first victory was a fairly chaotic 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League. A 4-0 rout of Everton on Sunday was encouraging for United fans, but Amorim has warned them there is a lot of work…
