Arsenal are willing to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the summer transfer window, according to . The report has added that the Gunners also want to cash in on France international striker Alexandre Lacazette this summer.
Aubameyang had a disappointing season in 2020-21 after signing a new contract. The 32-year-old former Borussia Dortmund star scored 10 goals and gave three assists in the league . The striker has struggled for form in pre-season for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Aubameyang is a proven goalscorer and has been superb for Arsenal over the years. The Gabon international has scored 114 Premier League appearances for the North London club. However, the striker struggled last season, and given that he is 32 now, there will be doubts whether he is on the decline.…
Andre Gray has offered an unreserved apology for homophobic tweets he posted in 2012 that were shared on social media after the striker played a starring role in Burnley s 2-0 win over Liverpool.
Gray, Burnley s top scorer as they won the Championship title last season, created the opening goal for Sam Vokes at Turf Moor before opening his Premier League account with a well-taken second.
But his on-field contribution was quickly overshadowed after offensive social media posts made by the 25-year-old came to light.
Dating back to when Gray played for non-league side Hinckley United, one tweet read: Is it me or are there gays everywhere? #Burn #Die #Makesmesick .
The tweets were deleted later on Saturday and Gray issued a statement on Twitter, pleading forg…

Brazil superstar Neymar has tipped Belgium to spring a surprise at the World Cup in Russia next year.
The Red Devils, managed by former Everton boss Roberto Martinez, won nine of their 10 games in qualifying and boast some of the world s most in-form attackers, such as Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard and Dries Mertens.
Neymar, who will lead Brazil s line as they bid to win football s showpiece prize for the first time since 2002, has cited Belgium as dark horses, as well as highlighting the superb recent form of Premier League top-scorer Mohamed Salah, which could be the catalyst for Egypt to cause an upset.
I think the best-known teams are the favourites, as always, he said.
Among them are Brazil, Germany, France, Spain and Argentina these teams will be t…

The team are what we have worked with and are prepared to play without him.
Bauza hopes his decision to include Dybala and Kranevitter pays of…

In a showdown between two sides who have a top-four finish at the top of their agenda, Leicester will welcome Chelsea to an empty King Power Stadium on Tuesday night.
Leicester City
Starting with the hosts, putting in what was a professional display on Saturday night, the mood in Leicester s camp certainly appears to be at a real high.

Liverpool s defensive injury crisis may have deepened further after it was reported Joe Gomez could be facing a lengthy absence.
Gomez is said to have suffered an injury during an England training session ahead of the friendly against Republic of Ireland on Thursday.
Premier League champions Liverpool are already facing the prospect of being without Virgil van Dijk for the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury the centre-back sustained in the derby against Everton last month.
Full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to be out for around for around a month due to a calf problem he picked up in the 1-1 draw with Manchester City on Sunday.
The loss of Gomez would leave Jurgen Klopp seriously depleted at the back and hoping Fabinho, who ha…
According to a recent report from Fichajes, Manchester City and Real Madrid are both interested in trying to sign Youri Tielemans.
The Leicester City star has enjoyed many great moments with the Foxes over the years with one of the most notable being his FA Cup-winning goal in the final in 2021. Now, though, he may be ready to take the next step in his career, which would feature him heading to a team that just about guarantees Champions League football every season.
Pep Guardiola has witnessed what he can do in the Premier League many times whereas Madrid could really use someone with his ability, especially to drive through the heart of defences.
The 24-year-old has a lot of time left at the elite level if he so wishes and given that he s also a member of the …
