Premier League News
From Liverpool to Bournemouth, long balls have created a path to success in the Premier League this season, long after the tactic went out of fashion.
Federico Chiesa has yet to start a Premier League game for Liverpool since his transfer from Serie A side Juventus and coach Arne Slot said the Italian forward was now ready to play more minutes but faces some fierce competition.
Arne Slot has said the club are keen for Salah to stay beyond this summer, insisting he is not surprised by interest in the player from Saudi Arabia.
Enzo Maresca has said that Chelsea's form has "100%" been affected by transfer speculation, claiming some of his players may not have been fully focussed.
João Félix and Marco Asensio are candidates to join Aston Villa in this transfer window, according to Monchi, the club's president of football operations.
