Phillips supported Pep’s comments as he made his Champions League debut for City, his sixth appearance overall. Despite playing in certain games of less importance or when resting Rodri was crucial, Phillips, who Guardiola previously apologized to for not featuring enough, was given a start in Serbia. The match wasn’t an opportunity for Phillips to prove Guardiola wrong; rather, it reinforced Guardiola’s view. Kovacic was also positioned in a deeper role to support Phillips, but it didn’t bring out a composed performance from him. He often lost possession, leading to opposition counter-attacks and even received a yellow card clumsily. Even…
Napoli forward Victor Osimhen remains a prominent target for Arsenal ahead of the January transfer window. The Nigerian striker has consistently been mentioned as a potential option for Mikel Arteta’s team, which lacks a center-forward as prolific as the 24-year-old.

In contrast, Osimhen scored 26 times in Serie A last season, contributing significantly to Napoli’s first league title win since 1990. Recently, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the situation of the former Lille…

The Ecuadorian international made the choice to move to West London, where Mauricio Pochettino has seen him struggle in his debut season. Despite the high expectations for Caicedo, he has yet to live up to the initial hype. His first match for the team resulted in conceding a penalty during…

Ratcliffe had previously attempted to recruit Potter at Nice. The 48-year-old coach, however, had been holding out for a significant managerial opportunity, turning down the Sweden national team role and an offer from Stoke City.
