Chelsea linked with Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe

Goals from Joaquin Correa and Ciro Immobile helped Lazio to a 2-1 win at AC Milan on Sunday that saw them climb to fourth in the Serie A table.

The victory was Lazio s first away from home against Milan in Serie A since September 1989, ending a 29-match winless run in the fixture.

Immobile s 100th Lazio goal put the capital club in the lead but mid-table Milan quickly levelled after Krzysztof Piatek s flick was diverted into his own net by Bastos.

After an end-to-end first half, both sides struggled for momentum after the interval and it took an exquisite pass from Luis Alberto to set up Lazio s winner.

The Spaniard cleverly found Correa and he did the rest, charging into the penalty area to slot an 83rd-minute winner.

Immobile started the match w…

The Serie A heavyweights Inter Milan have been linked with a move for the 17-year-old Flamengo sensation Lincoln Correa dos Santos.

The promising youngster notched up nine goals in 18 games for Brazil’s Under-17 squad and also caused quite a few ripples going through the ranks at Flamengo.

Lincoln seems to have caught the attention of Nerazzurri who are keen to make a deal with Flamengo that would involve their flop striker Gabriel Barbosa.

The forward commonly referred to as Gabigol joined Inter Milan in a €33.5 million deal in the summer of 2016 but never quite managed to prove his worth in Italy – or in Europe for that matter.

Fox Sports Brazil states that Inter Milan are now planning to use Gabigol as a bargaining chip and offer him as a direct…

Looking to lay down another Champions League marker on Wednesday night, Marseille will make the trip to Sporting Lisbon.

Starting with the hosts, putting in a nightmare display away in France last week as they were hit with a 4-1 drumming away at Marseille, Sporting Lisbon were certainly glad to make a return to domestic duties over the weekend. Eventually picking up a 2-1 victory away at Santa Clara, the Portuguese giants also find themselves sat in pole position to book a knockout stage ticket in this year s Champions League. Opening their Group D campaign with back-to-back 2-0 and 3-0 victories against Eintracht Frankfurt and Premier League outfit Tottenham, Rúben Amorim s side have also continued to shine on home soi…

Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal has refused to rule out a move to Tottenham as he eyes a future in the Premier League.

The Dutch manager is currently preparing to lead his country at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, where they will hope to go one better than their runner-up position in 2010.

But Van Gaal believes England could be his next destination, after reports linked him with the Tottenham job following the departure of Andre Villas-Boas earlier in the season.

I am mostly interested in England because I have been a coach in Spain, Germany, in the Netherlands so I think England is the next step in my career, he said.

It could be another club (other than Spurs), it depends on the vacancies because Spurs were already with me.

I prefer to be focused on this World…

Jackson Martinez scored his first UEFA Europa League goal as Porto defeated Napoli 1-0 in the first leg of their last-16 clash.

Porto dominated for large parts of Thursday s game, but a combination of an incorrect offside decision that ruled out Carlos Eduardo s effort and the outstanding Pepe Reina frustrated them.

There was nothing Reina could do, though, to stop Martinez netting the only goal at the Estadio do Dragao after he reacted quickest to sweep home from 12 yards.

Martinez s 23rd goal of the season in all competitions means Porto travel to Italy for the second leg next week with high hopes of reaching the quarter-finals.

Porto ended a four-game winless run in all competitions at the weekend with a confidence-boosting 4-1 victory over Arouca and bossed …

Borussia Dortmund would be open to selling Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the event of a world-record transfer bid, according to sporting director Hans-Joachim Watzke.

The Gabon international has made no secret of his desire to play for Real Madrid in future and has been linked with a sensational move at the end of the season.

Reports in Spain in the past week have suggested that Zinedine Zidane s side are readying an offer which could rival the record €100million fee that they paid Tottenham to sign Gareth Bale in 2013.

And Watzke admits that such an amount would force Dortmund to consider parting with the striker, who has scored 35 goals in all competitions this season.

If at some point we get an offer of €100million or €120m for Aubameyang, then w…

Eddie Howe is aware of the threat posed to AFC Bournemouth by Leicester City star Jamie Vardy, but stressed that his defenders have handled the England striker before.

A late vardy Penalty gave Claudio Ranieri s men – who have since gone on to sit level on points with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League after 19 games – a 1-1 draw at the Vitality Stadium in August.

But Howe felt Bournemouth largely coped with his threat during that match and spoke of the importance of his players – who have only lost once in their last seven games – doing so again when the two teams meet at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Jamie Vardy has unique strengths, the 38-year-old told Sky Sports.

He combines an incredible work ethic with real pace, determin…

Gio Reyna says he is very, very happy at Borussia Dortmund and is enjoying life with Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland as team-mates.

The 17-year-old broke into the BVB first-team squad in the second half of the 2019-20 season and made 18 appearances in all competitions, scoring once.

Reyna is now looking to kick on again in the coming campaign, once more starring alongside fellow youngsters Sancho and Haaland, who have each turned 20 this year.

Sancho has been widely linked with a move to Manchester United, yet Reyna, while discussing his own future, insists Dortmund are no stepping stone.

I m very, very happy here right now, the English-born United States youth international told Bild. That is all that counts.

Dortmund is not a bus stop. This is…

New Everton signing Allan is one of the best defensive midfielders in world football, according to Toffees boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Everton confirmed the signing of Allan from Napoli on Saturday, with the 29-year-old having penned a three-year contract at Goodison Park.

Allan was one of the most consistent performers for the Serie A side under both Maurizio Sarri and Ancelotti, but fell out of favour under Gennaro Gattuso.

Ancelotti was keen to be reunited with the Brazil international – who has made nine appearances for his country – at Everton, and a deal reportedly worth £22.2million (€25m) plus add-ons was struck.

While deals for Real Madrid s James Rodriguez and Watford s Abdoulaye Doucoure are thought to be close, Ancelotti has hailed Allan, …

Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola has praised the talents of new signing Ibrahim Afellay, joining the club from PSV Eindhoven.

The Dutch international is unavailable for the La Liga champions for their Sunday fixture against Levante due to a transfer window technicality, which frustrated Guardiola given the absence of stars Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Carlos Puyol.

We knew that the market doesn t open until the third (of January). It s a shame, because he (Afellay) would have been useful to cover for missing people but is good that Afellay has come, he s been well received. Then urgent thing now is for him to learn the language, Guardiola told the club s official site.

Afellay played with PSV from 2003 onwards, making more than 20 league appearances in three o…
