Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo could be loaned to Bayern Munich before Tuesday’s transfer deadline. Initially, the news that Manchester City are willing to let Joao Cancelo leave on loan is an almighty shock. But is it really?

With no senior left-back signed this summer, Cancelo had that flank to lose this season, but has found himself somewhere between both full-back spots and ultimately ended up as back-up in both…

Chelsea will “definitely be in the race” for Declan Rice in the summer, reports one journalist, as Arsenal could suffer a familiar fate. Rice is one of the most coveted midfielders in Europe. Other than Jude Bellingham, he’s probably been the most in-demand Englishman in the world over the past few seasons, too. That he is English makes him all the more desirable to Premier League sides. He knows the league well, having played in it for more than five years, and he takes up a spot as a home-grown player. The fact he’s one of the league’s best midfielders…

Neymar had put PSG in front, beating the offside trap and then finding the corner of Yehvann Diouf’s net. It stayed that way until the sixth minute of stoppage time as the league leaders – who saw Marco Verratti sent off less than 15 minutes after coming on as a substitute – looked to cling on to their narrow lead.

James Gunn has been facing a lot of hate for the decisions that are being made in the DC Universe. He has already let go of Henry Cavill, and things are pretty dicey with Gal Gadot and Dwayne Johnson. He has recently been on the wrong side of the gun for his actions supporting nepotism. Especially considering how he has been pitching for his wife to cameo in future DCU projects. James Gunn Celebrities have been embracing and taking advantage of nepotism for years now. This has often led to other people missing out on opportunities because of what influence…
