The Chelsea Manager Carousel Lands On A Familiar Face

After weeks of rumors and other manager candidates dropping like flies, Chelsea finally announced club legend Frank Lampard as the next Blues boss.

Lampard inked a three-year deal with his former club and is ecstatic to return to Stamford Bridge.

Manchester City Set To Break Transfer Record With $78 Million For Rodri

Manchester City looks to be wrapping up its first signing of the summer.

With a few players that are starting to age, Pep Guardiola has been looking for immediate replacements. Fernandinho, arguably one of City’s most important players in the past few years, is 34 years old. While he still has a lot to give for Manchester City, he isn’t as young and spry as he used to be.

Arsenal Bid Half Of Crystal Palace's Asking Price For Zaha

Arsenal insider David Ornstein has reported that Arsenal has made a bid of $50.45 million (£40 million) for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha. Zaha has been a vital player in Palace’s side, netting 10 goals and 10 assists last season, helping the Eagles secure a solid mid-table finish.

Arsenal's bid is far below Palace’s valuation of Zaha, as the club has stated it is not willing to part with him for anything less than $100 million (£80m).

Tottenham's $68 Million Signing Of Tanguy N'Dombele Is A Huge Statement

Tottenham Hotspur is already trying to put it’s Champions League failure in the past. It’s been over a full calendar year since Tottenham has signed a player, and the fact that Mauricio Pochettino was able to take his squad this far without any help from new players is commendable. Though, the only thing Spurs have to show for it is a Champions League berth via a third-place finish in the Premier League and a loss in the previous season’s Champions League final.

Arsenal Reimagines Legendary Home Kit For The 2019-20 Season

After five years of tight and taut Puma jerseys, Arsenal is now beginning the first of its five-year deal with adidas as the official kit supplier. This isn’t the first time the three stripes have graced Gunners apparel: between 1986 and 1994 it was adidas that outfitted the London club.

During this period, Arsenal won the First Division twice (1988-89, 1990-91), as well as one FA Cup (1992-93), two League Cups (1986-87, 1992-93) and the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup (1993-94). 

Mohamed Salah Under Fire For Supporting Teammate Accused Of Abusing Women

Mohamed Salah has been criticized for supporting, defending and fighting for Amr Warda, a teammate on the Egyptian national team. 

Warda was kicked off the Pharaohs for the Africa Cup of Nations after accusations of sending lewd messages to women, but the Egyptian federation decided to reinstate Warda after Salah and his teammates asked for Warda to be pardoned, the Associated Press reported.

This is a list of who I believe to be the most valuable free agents on the market.

New Data Shows Just How Elite Christian Pulisic Is With The Ball At His Feet

Everyone knows that Christian Pulisic isn’t going to immediately step into Eden Hazard’s shoes at Chelsea and act as a carbon copy of the Belgian. Hazard, of course, is eight years older than Pulisic and currently much more decisive in the final third: Hazard hit 16 Premier League goals last campaign, the American tied his career best by reaching four in the Bundesliga.

Chelsea Makes As Big A Splash As It Can By Permanently Signing Mateo Kovačić

Chelsea has made its first, and probably only, move while serving a two-window transfer ban (this summer and next January) by permanently signing the previously on-loan Mateo Kovačić from Real Madrid for a fee that could approach nearly $57 million.

The 25-year-old just completed his first season with the Blues, and with plenty of unforeseen circumstances ahead, Kovačić had to be brought back.
