During an interview with NBA reporter Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, Los Angeles Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell spoke about superstar LeBron James. Russell, who grew up a LeBron fan, said his childhood idol is “a complete role model all around.” “When it comes to the basketball side of things, it’s an adjustment,” Russell said. “You’ve got to learn how to play next to one of the greatest of all time. As far as what I’ve learned, we really spend so much time on the bus, plane, in traffic, and those small little windows where there’s nothing else going on when I…

Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim has already confirmed he has a “an idea” for the end of the season amid fresh links with a move to Liverpool. Former Reds hero Xabi Alonso had been viewed as the clear frontrunner to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield when the German calls an end to his tenure this summer. Alonso, however, now looks set to stay at Bayer Leverkusen until 2025 at least as he looks to build on what looks like the club’s first ever Bundesliga title win. As such, decision-makers on Merseyside may have to look elsewhere. Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi…

Xabi Alonso is confident he is in the “right place” as the Bayer Leverkusen shuts down talk of a potential move to Liverpool. Alonso, who has a contract with Leverkusen until 2026, has become the talk of Europe and a reported target for top clubs after leading his team through an unbeaten season while challenging for three trophies. “It’s been a season with a lot of speculation regarding my future. We’ve had many games, we’ve been busy and focused. I used the international break to reflect better and take a decision,” Alonso told reporters. “Last week I had a meeting…

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he can “understand” Xabi Alonso’s decision to remain at Bayer Leverkusen next season after turning down the chance to replace him at Anfield. Klopp labelled Alonso, who won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2005, as the “outstanding” candidate and gave the Spaniard his backing ahead of the German leaving the club at the end of the season. But Liverpool will now have to look elsewhere after Alonso, who is only 18 months into his first professional job as a manager, confirmed that Leverkusen was the “right place to develop as a coach”. Bayern Munich,…

Jurgen Klopp has provided a Liverpool injury update ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash against Brighton at Anfield (14.00 BST). The Reds’ title charge recommences after the international break and they have the chance to move top of the table with a victory ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal’s meeting later in the afternoon. Liverpool have had plenty of injury problems this campaign and they were given another scare when Andy Robertson was forced off in Scotland’s 1-0 loss against Northern Ireland with an ankle injury. Ibrahima Konate made a return to action for France, having missed the Reds’ previous…

Pep Guardiola thinks Manchester City fans will put their understandable upset at the club on hold on Sunday to support the team ‘unconditionally’ against Arsenal. Guardiola used another press conference on Friday to call for fans to help make an impact as his team take on Arsenal and Aston Villa in the space of four days at the Etihad aiming to make serious inroads in the Premier League title race. The City coach appreciated the noise in the stadium for the Manchester derby and wants a repeat for the rest of the season. However, while Guardiola counts on the value…

Roy Keane shut down Ian Wright’s prediction for Arsenal’s game against Manchester City but agreed to a forfeit if he’s wrong. The Manchester United legend was adamant that the Gunners stood no chance of beating the Premier League champions this weekend at the Etihad But Wright, a former Arsenal player, was insistent that his old club had to win the game, so they would.

Speaking ahead of the Arsenal fixture, Guardiola revealed the duo would play no part in Sunday’s clash and offered up a coy response when asked about his opinion on the incident.

Roy Keane adamant Arsenal will lose at Manchester City – but… Roy Keane is adamant Arsenal will suffer a major blow to their Premier League hopes by losing to title rivals Manchester City. The Gunners sit top of the table – level on points with Liverpool and one above Man City – with ten games of the 2023-24 campaign remaining. Arsenal will move four points clear of the defending champions with victory at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, but a home win would see Pep Guardiola’s side overtake the Gunners as they chase a fourth successive league title. The Gunners,…

It isn’t easy breaking into Manchester City’s first team. For all of his many qualities as a manager, Pep Guardiola has seldom shown much willingness to give academy products many minutes on the field at the Etihad, and Phil Foden remains the only player to complete the transition from the youth teams to the starting line-up. Given how good Cole Palmer has been at Chelsea since being jettisoned by City last summer, one wonders how much talent they might miss out in if they don’t make the path into the matchday squad a little easier. But for all the seller’s…
