A concern for Sunderland at the end of last season was that they were not prolific scorers in the Premier League and needed to bolster their frontline. Despite finishing seventh in the division and qualifying for the Europa League, a return of 42 goals in 38 matches left a concern that they may struggle for goals this season. REUTERS/Scott Heppell Their lack of attacking quality was on display in the opening game of the 2026/27 campaign as they only created 0.66 xG in their 2-1 loss to newly-promoted Ipswich Town on Saturday. Whilst Nilson Angulo got off the mark with…

Tottenham have officially agreed a deal with Manchester City for Omar Marmoush, according to Fabrizio Romano. After lengthy negotiations over the past fortnight, Spurs have finally made a breakthrough and the Egyptian international will travel to north London on Monday to undergo his medical. While the former Eintracht Frankfurt star might have been part of Enzo Maresca’s squad for Sunday’s dramatic 2-1 victory at home against Bournemouth, Marmoush has been given permission to travel down to the capital. The Italian transfer guru reported that Marmoush’s switch will be an initial loan move that will become mandatory under certain conditions. Already…

At the post-fight press conference, the new champion dismissed the possibility of a second meeting. Lopez instead wants the winner of Ryan Garcia versus Conor Benn before pursuing fights with WBC champion Devin Haney and IBF champion Liam Paro. Romero believes the scoring denied him a victory after he cut Lopez and hurt him several times. “I never get a fair shake, and it’s apparent. I clearly outboxed him. I cut him. I hurt him multiple times. It’s clear as day, I deserve a rematch. Honestly, that decision was self-explanatory,” Romero said in comments shared by The Ring. The physical…

“For me, I think Rocky Marciano was overrated,” Prograis said on social media. “He retired undefeated, right? But in this book, I bought this book about Sonny Liston. It said right here about Rocky Marciano that ‘his good fortune was to rise to prominence at a time when his major competitors were either old, like 37-year-old Joe Louis.’ He was 37 when he fought him. Joe Walcott was 37 years old. A natural light heavyweight like Ezzard Charles was 34 years old, and then Archie Moore was 41 at the time.” The overall point has some merit, but several ages…

In the opening weeks of the season, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side have perhaps showcased that a new attacker isn’t necessarily a requirement in the final embers of the transfer window. Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard have scored two in two. Christos Tzolis has three assists in those two games and Bukayo Saka is back among the goals at club level as well. REUTERS/Hannah Mckay Everything is looking rather rosy at the Emirates Stadium right now but Arteta is still in a ruthless mood. Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus have both been alienated from the first-team picture and have been told…

Gian Piero Gasperini has warned Roma need reinforcements if they want to be competitive in 2026-27 ahead of their Serie A opener against Fiorentina. Roma finished last season in third, winning each of their last five league matches to pip both AC Milan and Juventus to a Champions League spot. They will play in UEFA’s premier competition for the first time since 2018-19. It was a largely successful first season in charge for Gasperini, who has bolstered his squad with the likes of Rodrigo Mora, Nahuel Molina and Santiago Castro. They have also tied down Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini…
