Barcelona could be set to make a surprise move for Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil, .

Jerome Boateng is glad to be back in action after returning from four months out in Bayern Munich s 3-0 home victory against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.

Germany international Boateng replaced Javi Martinez in the second half of Saturday s game, having recovered from a chest muscle injury, as Bayern extended their advantage at the top of the table to 10 points.

According to a recent report from Sky Germany, Borussia Dortmund have a buy-back clause for striker Alexander Isak.

The 21-year-old was sold to Real Sociedad by Dortmund back in 2019, but as it turns out, they could get the first option on bringing him back to Germany if all the pieces fall into place, that is.

The youngster has been turning heads with Sociedad for quite some time now and given his upward trajectory, we aren’t expecting that theme to change. However, if another club comes in with a sizeable offer, you’d have to imagine Sociedad will at least consider it.

Making a decision on your future is hard at any age but especially when you re that young. The wrong move could be the catalyst behind success or failure, and when you re someone like Isak w…

Neymar has been defended by his father after the Paris Saint-Germain star claimed Barcelona s 6-1 Champions League win over his current employers was a career highlight.

The club s sporting director Leonardo later confirmed Neymar wished to leave PSG, though he stressed a move would only be sanctioned if a suitable offer was made, with Barca seemingly favourites to land their former forward despite the €120million arrival of Antoine Griezmann.

And Neymar who is due to return to PSG on Monday risked causin…

I am flattered by the interest of Sunderland. I know the scout of Sunderland has been watching me, said Duncan.

To be honest, though, nothing has been done and Inter will have a big say if I leave Inter or not.

Fans compare me with Essien and if I can have…
