Daley Blind’s Manchester United career looks set to come to an end this weekend.

The report has since been corroborated by BBC Sport, meaning that …

Having been very quiet in the transfer market all summer, Tottenham Hotspur have woken up with a vengeance and are set to break their transfer record. Various sources including the Guardian have reported that Spurs have agreed a fee with Ajax for defender Davinson Sanchez that could rise to £42m including various add-ons. Last season’s Premier League runners-u had been on …

Manchester United take on Ajax in the Europa League final on Wednesday night, with both teams looking to add to already bulging trophy cabinets. However, while Ajax already have a pathway into the Champions League via the Eredivisie, this match is Jose Mourinho’s last chance to guide his Man United side into Europe’s premier club competition at the first time …

Feyenoord forward, and Liverpool cult hero, Dirk Kuyt has called a halt to his playing career at the age of 36. The Eredivisie side made the announcement on Wednesday afternoon, bringing an end to his two-year stay (in a playing capacity, at least) at De Kuip. In a statement on the club’s website, Kuyt conceded that this felt like the …

Feyenoord defeated NEC 2-1 at the weekend to extend their perfect start to the Eredivisie season and put themselves five points clear after nine games.

It would be quite the blow for Arsenal if, on the week their move for Jamie Vardy stalled, Chelsea and Tottenham stole two more targets from under their noses. With reports gathering pace on Monday that Chelsea had entered into talks for Juventus striker Álvaro Morata, they could be set to lose another striking target as Tottenham have apparently agreed …

Although it looks increasingly likely that Arsenal are on the verge of signing Jamie Vardy – with Olivier Giroud’s revelations to Sky Sports being the latest indicator – Dutch sensation Vincent Janssen has refused to rule out a move this summer and the destination could well be England. Following their 2-0 victory over Austria, the Netherlands striker told Fox Sports: “I want to make a step, …

As the season heads towards the finish line, Everton manager Roberto Martínez looks like he may be on borrowed time. A wretched run of form that has seen his side win just two Premier League games in their last twelve – and one of those was against Aston Villa so that barely counts – has left his job at Goodison …

Manchester United’s indifferent season has been typified, more than most, by Dutch forward Memphis Depay.

Speaking to the assembled reporters at an Under Armour event, £25million forward Memphis Depay has admitted that he has not been up to scratch this season, in the midst of a frustrating first six months in the Premier League. The …
