Giroud to stay at Chelsea

“No. Olivier Giroud in this window has been incredible as a professional and as a man.” 

Those are the short and sweet words of Chelsea manager Frank Lampard who has seemingly confirmed that Olivier Giroud will not be leaving the club during the January transfer window. 

The expectation all day long has been that the veteran forward would be making his way out of Stamford Bridge before the end of the window, but now, it looks like he’s staying put after all. 

It’s been an incredibly frustrating month for Lampard and the Blues, as they haven’t really been able to make the sort of progress they wanted in adding to their squad. Now, Lampard will be forced to do everything in his power to make sure Giroud makes the most of the time he has left w…

Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard Sloan slept with Mount after they met at a party at his England te…

Kane fit and ready to fire in for Senegal clash

Harry Kane feels as match fit as I m ever going to feel as he prepares to lead England against Senegal at the World Cup on Sunday.

He concedes he would liked to have opened his account but is not overly concerned and says it is all part of a plan to peak as the tournament develops.

The Tottenham striker said: At the World Cup in 2018, from a physical side of things, we started the tournament well, I scored a load of goals and as the tournament progressed, my performances dipped.

At the Euros I tried to do it the other way round to make sure I was in the best place for the knockouts. I d love to be sitting…

Hazard to have surgery he hopes will finally end Real Madrid injury nightmare

Eden Hazard s Real Madrid injury nightmare could be in its final stages after the club confirmed he will have surgery to remove an osteosynthesis plate from his right fibula.
