The Spanish champions have kickstarted their recruitment drive by agreeing a £70million plus deal to sign Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United‚ who is arriving for his medical today. They are also preparing an offer for striker Julian Alvarez at Atletico Madrid but know‚ with their rivalry plus a huge price tag‚ that is not straightforward either.

The winger set off from Newcastle International Airport at 11.10am and is expected to land in Spain in the early afternoon. He will have his medical later today after Barcelona beat Liverpool and Bayern Munich in a transfer race for the 25-year-old.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY ISAAN KHAN: The scars of Arsenal 's only previous European Cup final still haunt Robert Pires 20 years on. They are wounds which have never fully healed.

The overlooked duo have been packing for the beach and pool while their England team-mates prepare to make waves in North America. Maguire‚ 33‚ is hanging out with his wife of almost four years‚ Fern‚ while 26-year-old Foden has been playing in the pool with his three kids Ronnie‚ True‚ and Phil Jr‚ presumably alongside his partner Rebecca Cooke.

He has stepped down from working as a TV pundit for Arsenal's Champions League final clash with Paris Saint-Germain amid concerns he will receive abuse from the latter's fanbase. He was due to work for French channel Canal+ for the Budapest-based showpiece on Saturday. However‚ there has now been a U-turn on that decision after he was reportedly abused by PSG supporters during their semi-final clash with Bayern Munich.

Jean-Philippe Mateta netted the winner as Oliver Glasner bowed out with his third trophy of the last year as his side beat Rayo Vallecano in Leipzig. Parish led a delegation of seven into the Court of Arbitration for Sport at the start of the season after his side were thrown out of the Europa League - which they had qualified for through winning the FA Cup. Palace were effectively relegated to the Europa Conference League after UEFA ruled they had breached their rules on multi-club ownership.

CRAIG HOPE AND SIMON JONES: Barca moved ahead of Bayern Munich and Premier League rivals‚ including Liverpool‚ after sporting director Deco held a meeting with the 25-year-old's representatives on Monday. Newcastle have negotiated a package worth in excess of £70m - including bonuses and a future percentage of any sale - and will now turn their attention to signing a replacement. Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo‚ 21‚ is on the shortlist.

Speculation has long surrounded Fernandez's future ever since his agent‚ Javier Pastore‚ publicly admitted they would explore their options this summer if no new contract was forthcoming from Chelsea.

Police in Germany have ordered 60 Crystal Palace fans described as 'known troublemakers' to leave Leipzig city centre after clashes before the Conference League final.

Jorgensen‚ who is 24 years old and keen to become a regular starter at a club‚ will now be clear to explore his options with his representatives. He signed in 2024 for £20.7million from Villarreal on a seven-year contract.

The Premier League giants had been without a partner for a season but have now shaken hands on a multi-year deal which is thought to be the most lucrative training kit-only sponsorship in football.

William‚ patron of the Football Association‚ made a private visit earlier this month to St George's Park in Burton-upon-Trent‚ Staffordshire.

Barca sporting director Deco was in London for a series of meetings with potential targets in the days prior to the FA Cup final and is understood to have met Gordon's camp.

Rio Ferdinand has revealed that he is now earning nearly twice what he did at Manchester United‚ following his evolution from star athlete to media mogul. Ferdinand was speaking on The Long Play Podcast‚ set up by journalist Jordan Macauley and billed as a show that 'interviews the biggest people in sport to learn how they built their empires'.

Nuno Espirito Santo is set to remain as West Ham manager despite being unable to prevent the club's relegation from the Premier League.

Mikel Arteta has lifted the lid on how he has changed Arsenal's 'ugly' culture into a winning one who are now Premier League champions. Arsenal's 22-year wait to win the top flight ended last week when Manchester City's 1-1 draw at Bournemouth confirmed the Gunners' place at the summit of the English football. It's been an arduous six-and-a-half year process for Arteta who took over the north London outfit in December 2019. At the time of his appointment Arsenal were 10th in the table - highlighting the rebuild the Spaniard has undergone.

JACK GAUGHAN: City will not be without a head coach for long. Maresca has been planning ahead in readiness for a fresh start‚ wherever that may be‚ since leaving Chelsea on New Year's Eve.

Tuchel named the 26 players he will be taking to North America last week‚ but only 16 of the players the German has gone with would have been selected by technology PLAIER. The PLAIER system uses a database of more than 300‚000 footballers across more than 200 countries to correlate data and provide precise analysis. Players are selected in the AI squad based on the likeliness of success on the pitch as a team‚ rather than individual quality.

Lijnders‚ Kolo Toure‚ Lorenzo Buenaventura‚ Manel Estiarte and Xabi Mancisidor have all left City‚ with Enzo Maresca set to appoint his own backroom staff when he takes over at the Etihad. Dutchman Lijnders was famed for assisting Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool until the German's departure‚ but stepped into the City dugout in the summer after being persuaded by Guardiola. His family are now based in the Netherlands‚ and knew his work at City wasn't a long-term job.

The former England striker is to curtail his time in Italy following Cremonese's relegation from the top flight to Serie B.

The curtain has now closed on the 2025-26 Premier League season‚ with Arsenal pipping Manchester City to the title‚ Tottenham surviving on the final day and Sunderland staging an impressive late surge to qualify for the Europa League. The 'Team of the Season' debate is often one which dominates discussion at the end of a campaign‚ with fans‚ pundits and ex-players all keen to give the performers they viewed as best their flowers. Sky Sports pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville picked an almost identical best XI on the final Monday Night Football of the season last week‚ with the inclusion of Igor Thiago over Jeremy Doku proving the only difference between them.

New details of Arsenal's lavish Premier League title celebrations in Mayfair have emerged after the Gunners celebrated long into the night with friends and family on Sunday. Mikel Arteta's side finally got their hands on the Premier League trophy after finishing second over three successive seasons‚ ultimately beating title rivals Manchester City by seven points to crown Arsenal champions of England for the first time in 22 years. And‚ despite having a huge Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain to prepare for on Saturday‚ the Gunners did not hold back in their title celebrations‚ enjoying the moment with friends and family at a lavish nightclub in Mayfair.

Newly crowned Premier League champions Arsenal have been dealt a blow in their preparations to defend their title‚ with top target Julian Alvarez reportedly preferring a move to a European rival. Daily Mail Sport reported last month that Arsenal have a serious interest in the Atletico Madrid star‚ with staff having been gathering data on the Argentine since January to assess whether he would fit the team's profile. The data collected - which included his injury record‚ physiological numbers and playing output - emphatically suggested he would fit the requirements of Mikel Arteta's side‚ with Arsenal keen to sign him this summer.

Piers Morgan has jokingly responded after fans questioned how he had been able to enter the pitch and join in with Arsenal's Premier League title celebrations. Morgan and his sons Bertie‚ Stanley and Spencer were all seen on the pitch after Arsenal had lifted the Premier League trophy at Selhurst Park on Sunday. The Gunners had been presented with the trophy after beating Crystal Palace 2-1 on the final day of the season.

Man United enjoyed a stunning 53 point swing on Liverpool to underline the clubs' respective resurgence and decline during the 2025-26 Premier League season. The Red Devils secured a return to Champions League football by finishing third in top flight‚ with Michael Carrick inspiring an upturn during his interim spell in charge after replacing Ruben Amorim‚ who was sacked in January. Man United's improvement has led to Carrick securing the job on a permanent basis‚ with the club having a startling transformation after finishing 15th in the Premier League last season.

CHRIS WHEELER: Slovenia manager Bostjan Cesar has raised concerns over Benjamin Sesko's continued absence from his national team as the Manchester United striker once again finds himself at the centre of club versus country tensions.

JACK GAUGHAN: A last chance. A last handshake‚ a last hug‚ a last thanks. Hundreds who have come into regular contact with Pep Guardiola have attempted to have their moment during these final‚ somewhat fraught‚ few days as their messiah bows out. The man who changed Manchester City forever. The mind who changed English football forever.

When the tears from the farewells to Pep Guardiola‚ Mo Salah and the rest dry and you look at the landscape of the English game‚ it appears unlikely Arsenal's dominance is going to end any time soon.

David Beckham and Gary Neville were left heartbroken as Salford City were beaten 3-0 by Notts County in the League Two play-off final.

Fernandes has enjoyed a memorable season - he recorded his 21st assist of the campaign against Brighton on Sunday‚ a Premier League record - but has still been unable to escape the ire of Keane. Recently Keane tore into him on The Overlap for apparently targeting the assists record over the benefit of the team‚ but that was based on a misunderstood quote.

Nuno Espirito Santo is set to be sacked as West Ham head coach following their relegation from the Premier League. West Ham's 14-year stay in the top flight came to an end on Sunday‚ despite Nuno's side beating Leeds United 3-0 at the London Stadium. The victory ultimately proved futile‚ as Tottenham's 1-0 win over Everton confirmed their survival at West Ham's expense.

Tottenham coach Roberto De Zerbi has said a core group of around 12 players will remain part of his plans going forward‚ but he will demand a strong summer of change.

So Arsenal are worthy champions. Their football has not been to everybody's taste and it has been underpinned by what is statistically the best defence across all of Europe's top five leagues. Arsenal have conceded an average of only 2.5 shots on target per league game this season and that is a simply extraordinary number. Are Arsenal a truly outstanding side? No‚ I don't think they are.

The wife of West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola has launched a stinging attack on manager Nuno Espirito Santo following the club's relegation from the Premier League. West Ham's 14-year stay in the Premier League came to an end on Sunday‚ despite the Hammers winning 3-0 at home to Leeds on the final day. Their result was rendered irrelevant as Tottenham earned a 1-0 win over Everton to confirm their survival‚ finishing two points clear of 18th placed West Ham.

Declan Rice danced and rapped while clutching the trophy at the club's afterparty at the Bacchanalia restaurant in Mayfair‚ central London‚ surrounded by a throng of staff. Meanwhile‚ the Gunners drafted in singer Louis Dunford to perform 'The Angel' - better known as 'North London Forever' - in an intimate piano serenade.

ISAAN KHAN AT SELHURST PARK: Tears filled Mikel Arteta's eyes. Twenty-two years of anticipation‚ hurt‚ hope‚ failure and everything in between at Arsenal had ended upon lifting the Premier League title. The days of sitting 10th in the table or consistently finishing runners-up are over. Captain Martin Odegaard led the trophy lift in front of a crowd filled with thousands of Gunners fans.

Serra joined the Guardiola family photo and the outgoing manager called her an 'exceptional woman' in his speech to fans at the Etihad Stadium. Guardiola and Serra‚ a fashion entrepreneur‚ met back in 1994 and married in 2014‚ but news of their shock split broke in January last year.

Micky van de Ven refused to sugarcoat Tottenham Hotspur's season‚ insisting it was 'embarrassing' that it took until the final game to stave off relegation. Spurs have burned through Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor as managers this season‚ only recently turning to Roberto De Zerbi in a desperate bid to keep them up. While Sunday's 1-0 win at home to Everton ensured Premier League safety‚ Van de Ven was in no mood to celebrate.

CRYSTAL PALACE 2-1 ARSENAL: Arsenal have lifted the Premier League trophy - the ceremonial end to their 22-wait for an English league title after a final-day win away at Crystal Palace. Ian Wright called the scenes 'special' as captain Martin Odegaard got the party started‚ holding the trophy aloft to the cheers of Declan Rice ‚ Mikel Arteta and Co - and 3‚000 Arsenal fans packed into a corner of Selhurst Park.

Ian Wright was accused of going 'full Salt Bae' as he got involved in Arsenal's on-pitch Premier League title celebrations. Former Arsenal striker Wright is hugely popular among the current playing squad and staff. As he fulfilled his punditry duties with Sky Sports as players celebrated behind him‚ Gabriel Martinelli made a beeline for the 62-year-old before putting a medal around his neck.

Bruno Fernandes teed up Patrick Dorgu to break the Premier League assist record on the final day. While many of the league's top stars got the final day off‚ United captain Fernandes led his side out away at Brighton‚ determined to separate himself as the single-season assist leader. Last week it was his pass to Bryan Mbeumo that saw him draw level with Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne on 20 assists.

Mohamed Salah will get his big Liverpool farewell today - with manager Arne Slot allowing him to start despite the departing 'Egyptian King' dropping a 'grenade' on the dressing room with his remarks last week. Salah starts for Liverpool against Brentford at Anfield‚ seven days after he called for the club to return to Jurgen Klopp's 'heavy metal football' in a dig at Slot on social media. That post was liked by a number of Reds team-mates and Wayne Rooney led calls for Salah to be banned from his final game as a result. But Slot‚ who is under pressure from Liverpool fans after a difficult second season‚ appears to have taken the high road by selecting Salah and granting him an emotional farewell today.

The Egyptian star and Andy Robertson will bow out after Liverpool's home match against Brentford at Anfield.

Michael Carrick has told the Manchester United hierarchy the club must 'keep moving forward' ahead of this summer's crucial transfer window. Carrick secured the United job permanently after steering the club to third place in the Premier League and back into the Champions League‚ having taken over from Ruben Amorim following his sacking in January. United have lost influential midfielder Casemiro this summer and are also set to offload Marcus Rashford‚ Andre Onana‚ Manuel Ugarte‚ Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund as they continue their squad rebuild.

JACK GAUGHAN: Pep Guardiola reiterated his trust in Manchester City's board of directors as a decision on their case with the Premier League looms over the summer. Sunday's game with Aston Villa brings an end to Guardiola's decade at the Etihad Stadium‚ the Catalan's departure coming before a judgement is handed down on more than 115 charges of alleged financial impropriety. Guardiola‚ who has refused to rule out the prospect of managing England in the future‚ insisted on the club's innocence and has taken up an ambassadorial role.

MATT BARLOW AT WEMBLEY: After all the spies‚ subterfuge and pretend binoculars came the eye of the Tigers. One sucker punch from Oli McBurnie in the fifth minute of added time and Hull City are on their way back to the Premier League. This time there is no way back for Middlesbrough. They can pick up their feud with Southampton in the Championship next season. The reprieve was brief and their Wembley curse goes on. They have never won here and this was the sixth attempt.

IAN LADYMAN: Thomas Tuchel has talked about this being a World Cup of big moments and now the first one has been and gone. This is not the World Cup squad many people will have expected or picked. A 26-man party with no Trent Alexander-Arnold‚ Cole Palmer and Phil Foden would have been unthinkable when England travelled home from the European Championships as beaten finalists less than two years ago. But to those who have followed Tuchel's England through qualifying‚ this is a national coach sticking to patterns‚ beliefs and benchmarks he set out on the very first day in the role. Whether the football public agrees with him is another matter entirely.

Pep Guardiola appears to have begun the process of moving out of his Manchester apartment after finally confirming his departure from Man City. Guardiola will step down as Man City boss on Sunday after a trophy-laden 10 years in charge. Hours after Man City confirmed Guardiola's departure - revealed by Daily Mail Sport on Monday - removal men were seen taking belongings away from his Manchester apartment‚ days before his final match in charge against Aston Villa at the Etihad.

England boss Thomas Tuchel says the England squad he is taking to the World Cup are those who are 'unselfish' and '100 per cent committed' rather than the most-talented footballers - in an apparent shot at those who will be left at home. Tuchel named his 26-man squad to take to the United States today‚ confirming the high-profile omissions in a squad that was leaked on Thursday night: Leaving Harry Maguire‚ Trent Alexander-Arnold‚ Phil Foden‚ Cole Palmer‚ Lewis Hall and Luke Shaw at home.

Harry Maguire has not been picked in the England squad for this summer's World Cup by manager Thomas Tuchel‚ with the stalwart's mum branding the decision as 'disgraceful'.

Mikel Arteta said that he found out Arsenal had won the Premier League while having a BBQ in his garden because he couldn't bear to watch Manchester City's game against Bournemouth.

MATT BARLOW AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Tottenham supporters travel to Stamford Bridge not only fearing the worst but expecting it. With one win in the last 36 years there is no reason for anything else‚ but this trip across London delivered more agony than usual. They lost again. Of course they did. Goals by Enzo Fernandez and Andrey Santos put Chelsea two up before Richarlison pulled one back in the 73rd minute and sparked a desperate search for a late equaliser in a chaotic finish. Chances slipped away‚ as did an optimistic penalty appeal for a foul before a corner by Marc Cucurella ‚ and Jorrell Hato produced a terrific recovery block to deny substitute James Maddison.

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has taken to Instagram to celebrate the Gunners' Premier League title triumph by referencing his infamous three-word message from the club's defeat to Manchester City last month.

Antonio Conte is believed to be on the verge of leaving Napoli - with one eye on taking up the vacant role with the Italian national team‚ according to reports in his home country.

But not everyone is impressed. Former United captain Keane witnessed Fernandes and his team-mates being more focused on adding to his assists tally than winning the game against Forest.
