Thomas Tuchel insisted everybody at Chelsea wants Antonio Rudiger to stay after his side cruised past Leicester City 3-0 on Saturday.
Rudiger opened the scoring for the Blues, the centre-back s fourth goal against the Foxes in the Premier League – against no other side has he netted more than once in the competition.
N Golo Kante struck 14 minutes later against his former club before substitute Christian Pulisic added a third as Chelsea collected their fourth successive away league win without conceding for the first time since December 2008.
Delighted with his side s defensive work and overall performance, Tuchel praised his backline while providing an update on Rudiger s future.
[Rudiger] has been outstanding from the first game and the defensive per…
Manchester United will benefit from integrating security, confidence, courage and responsibility rather than splashing out on a blockbuster signing during the January transfer window, according to former striker Louis Saha.
The Red Devils have endured an inconsistent first half of the Premier League season and find themselves in seventh place – four points off the top four and 22 behind leaders Manchester City.
A difficult start to the campaign culminated in the departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with Ralf Rangnick appointed his successor on an interim basis for the remainder of 2021-22.
Following the arrivals of Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane during the previous window, more big names have been linked with a move to Old Trafford in a bid …
Deniz Undav netted twice in the space of six first-half minutes as Germany held on for a 2-1 win against Bosnia-Herzegovina in their Nations League match at the Stadion Bilino Polje.
The Stuttgart striker found the back of the net in the 30th and 36th minutes to pull Julian Nagelsmann’s side into a two-goal lead, but captain Edin Dzeko’s goal for the hosts after restart set up a tense ending to the game which the Germans navigated.
Florian Wirtz ran onto a lofted ball from Robert Andrich before laying it back for Undav to open the scoring at the half-hour mark in the League A Group 3 fixture, but Bosnia-Herzegovina were unfortunate not to equalise in an instant.
Ermedin Demirovic broke free on a counter just four minutes later and beat German goalkeeper Ale…
Son Heung-min is receiving no guarantees regarding his starting role at Tottenham amid a disappointing campaign on an individual level.
The South Korea star was one of the Premier League s standout players last season, sharing the Golden Boot with Mohamed Salah after scoring 23 times.
But in the 2022-23 season Son has netted just four in 21 league appearances, meaning he looks likely to fall short of 10 top-flight goals for the first time since his debut campaign in England (2015-16, four goals).
Son s per-90-minute averages of 0.2 goals, 0.26 expected goals, 1.0 open-play chances created and 0.36 goal involvements this season are all new lows for him in the Premier League.
Tottenham s lack of options in attack has perhaps contributed to Son keeping his p…
While might have made real history earlier in the month as they were crowned treble champions, it appears that the Premier League giants could be set for a squad overhaul this summer.
With many around the Etihad left heartbroken as Ilkay Gundogan’s move to was officially confirmed on Monday morning, it has been suggested that the German ace is just the first of many first-team stars who could be heading for the exit.
Although Pep Guardiola’s record-breakers might remain heavily linked with both and Josko Gvardiol, it has been their potential departures that have stollen plenty of the headlines.
Ahead of what looks like it could be another rollercoaster summer at the Etihad over the next couple of months, we have taken a look at three Manchester City stars…
New Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana cannot wait to create his own legacy at Old Trafford after he completed his move to the club on Thursday night.
United reached an agreement with Inter Milan to sign Onana for an initial 51million euros (£43.8m) with add-ons on Tuesday, and the 27-year-old has now sealed his switch to the Premier League club.
Onana has signed a five-year deal and targeted helping boss Erik Ten Hag secure more success.

He said: “To join Manchester United is an incredible honour and I have worked hard all my life to get to this moment, overcoming many obstacles along the way.
“Walking out at Old Trafford to defend our goal and contribute to the team…
In what was a showdown between two European giants on Sunday night, Spain and Germany eventually had to settle for a 1-1 draw at the Al Bayt Stadium.
While La Roja might have been minutes away from securing back-to-back Group E victories and punching their World Cup knockout stage ticket thanks to Alvaro Morata s second-half strike, it was late heartbreak for Luis Enrique s youngsters.
Although Spain might still find themselves sat firmly in pole position to find a route out of Group E, Niclas Fullkrug kept Germany s dreams alive after snatching a well-taken equaliser with seven minutes left on the clock.
In a contest that was often a cagey affair in Doha, we have taken a look at the main talking points as the two former world champions had to settle for what co…
Barcelona have finally secured funding to regenerate Camp Nou and the surrounding areas.
The club initially announced renovation plans in 2014, but a host of problems since have meant only a small part of the work has taken place.
The project now looks set to accelerate quickly upon the completion of the season, however, with Barca confirming on Monday that 20 investors have made €1.45billion available.
Barca assured concerned fans that club assets were not used as a guarantee and a mortgage wasn t taken out on the stadium , with repayments set to be made in instalments paid at five, seven, nine, 20, and 24 years with a flexible structure .

Vicente del Bosque has named veteran striker Aritz Aduriz in Spain s preliminary squad for Euro 2016, but there is no place for Chelsea s Diego Costa.
Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has been left out having only returned from a knee injury in the 4-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday, while Manchester United s Juan Mata has also been omitted.
Cazorla has been injured for months and he has made an effort, but we don t want the uncertainty that he won t be in good shape, Del Bosque said after announcing his selection.
I was sorry about Mata but it s how it is. You have to leave names out and think about who we believe can be the most useful. When you re in doubt, you have to be practical.

Arsenal s assault on the Premier League title suffered a hit at Goodison Park as Sean Dyche provided the new manager bounce for Everton.
The Toffees secured a first league win since October to condemn the Gunners to defeat, opening the door for Manchester City to cut the gap to the leaders to just two points if they beat Tottenham on Sunday.
Sean Dyche s side were not the only relegation-threatened team to pick up a major scalp, as Wolves stunned Liverpool at Molineux to extend a miserable run of form for Jurgen Klopp s Reds.
There was no similar result for Southampton, who were picked apart by in-form Brentford, while Manchester United maintained their fine home run with a hard-fought win against Crystal Palace.
