After weeks of reports that Arsenal were close to making a move for James Maddison, Brendan Rodgers dismissed the notion as "all gossip", saying no offer had been made. The Leicester City manager said ahead of Monday's trip to West Ham that he believes everyone on the squad wants to stay at King Power. This marks a milestone for the Foxes, who have grown accustomed to losing key players to big-budget rivals. Maddison appeared to be the wanted man during the offseason, but Rodgers insisted there had been no offers for…

Fiorentina head coach Vincenzo Italiano insists there is "no problem" with forward Dusan Vlahovic, who continues to be the subject of widespread transfer speculation. The Serbian striker played a full game but failed to score as Fiorentina opened their Serie A season with a 3-1 loss to Rome on Sunday. Vlahovic had been linked with Tottenham, Manchester City and Internazionale during the offseason and remain a hot property ahead of the transfer window closing at the end of this month. Fiorentina manager Joe Barone has…

Liverpool and Lyon have reached an agreement in principle for Xherdan Shaqiri, with the attacking midfielder due for a medical exam on Monday.

Shaqiri has played 63 times for Liverpool in all competitions and confirmed this window earlier that he was interested in a move away from the Premier League. Lyon were among the many teams linked to Shaqiri and the Ligue 1 squad confirmed the…

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal cannot afford to feel sorry for himself after his side made unwanted club history with their loss to Chelsea on Sunday. The Gunners lost 2-0 to their London rivals at Emirates Stadium thanks to first-half goals from Blues forward Romelu Lukaku and lively winger Reece James. Arsenal lost their first Premier League game of the season to Brentford by the same score, making it the first time in their 118-year history in England's first four levels that they opened a campaign with two losses on two…

Thomas Tuchel was thrilled with Romelu Lukaku's second debut at Chelsea, but tempered the praise, insisting it was "not the time to party too much". Lukaku scored the opening goal in Chelsea's 2-0 win at Arsenal on Sunday, with Reece James grabbing the second. The Gunners had won their last three games against Chelsea in all competitions but were outclassed as Lukaku's signing of £ 97.5million made an instant impact. He made eight attempts and created three more chances, previously having only taken part in more than 11…

Romelu Lukaku suggested he could still improve after a second "dominant" start at Chelsea in the 2-0 win at Arsenal. Lukaku, appearing for the first time since his £ 97.5million (€ 115million) transfer from Inter, opened the scoring at Emirates Stadium, nine years and 360 days after his first bow of the Blues. Reece James, the creator of the first, went on to fight in the second before half-time and Chelsea were in full control afterwards. Lukaku couldn't add to his strike in the 15th minute but finished with eight…

"A dream? I'm not dreaming. Someday I'll play here, you'll see." One cannot have escaped the viral clip shared by the former club Anderlecht, as he completed his £ 97.5million transfer of Romelu Lukaku visiting Chelsea's Stamford Bridge as a child . Of course, Lukaku kept that promise in 2011 when he replaced Fernando Torres for the final seven minutes of a 3-1 home win over Norwich City. It was among eight outings at Stamford Bridge in Chelsea blue, but few could fault the striker for feeling a little dissatisfied. One…
