Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has suggested that he may be powerless to resist approaches for Sadio Mane, .

The twenty-three year old impressed in the Saints’ shock 3-1 win over champions Chelsea at the weekend, and Koeman has resigned to the fact that he could be on his way out of St Mary’s.

Manchester United were linked with a move for the Senegal international during the summer, but the south coast club managed to fend off their interest.

Since moving to England from Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg in the summer of 2014, Mane has racked up forty-four appearances in all competitions, scoring fifteen goals including four in his last three games.

He has twenty-three appearances for his country, scoring seven goals and was also part of the Sen…

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists the result of the FA Cup final will not decide whether he agrees a new contract with the club.

Wenger has stated his intention to stay at the club but has not yet put pen to paper on a new deal having been with the club since 1996.

With Arsenal having failed to win a trophy since 2005, Saturday s final against Hull City represents an ideal opportunity for Wenger and his squad to silence critics and add another cup to his haul at the club.

Wenger s men capitulated at times this season as their Premier League title challenge veered off track but, even if they are beaten by Steve Bruce s side this weekend, Wenger says it will not affect his desire to stay.

The result of Saturday s FA Cup final will have no influence on my futu…

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone insisted a top-three finish in La Liga remains the club s aim ahead of the visit of Real Sociedad to the Vicente Calderon on Tuesday.

Atleti effectively ended Real Madrid s title hopes when they won 1-0 at Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, but the Argentine coach played down talk of pushing Barcelona for the title.

Antoine Griezmann s 53rd-minute goal gave the 2013-14 champions a valuable Madrid derby victory over Zinedine Zidane s side and moved Simeone s men four points clear of their city rivals in second place. 

Barcelona responded to that impressive result with a 2-1 win over Sevilla on Sunday to maintain their eight-point gap at the top. 

Rather than trying to catch the holders, Simeone is focusing on keeping Madri…

Son Heung-min s link-up with fellow Tottenham star Harry Kane is purely a pay-off for hard work .

Son scored twice on Wednesday, either side of a Kane penalty, as Spurs ran out 3-2 winners over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.

Antonio Conte s side moved to the Group D summit after coming from behind to defeat the Europa League holders at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Kane has teed up 24 goals for Son, who has supplied 26 assists for the England captain. Since the start of last season, Liverpool s Mohamed Salah, the scorer of a record-setting hat-trick in L…

The outoome of Liverpool s clash with Manchester City is likely to hinge on how Virgil van Dijk copes with absolute phenomenon Erling Haaland, according to Gary Neville.

City trail Premier League leaders Arsenal by a point ahead of their trip to Anfield on Sunday, while Liverpool are 13 points further back, seemingly out of title contention already.

Pep Guardiola s men are the only unbeaten side in the Premier League, thanks in no small part to the extraordinary exploits of Haaland.

Having only played nine games in the top flight, Haaland has already broken the records for most goals (15) and goal involvements (18) in a player s first 10 appearances in the competition.

A trip to Merseyside will see Norway striker face arguably his toughest opponent yet i…

Spanish international midfielder Ruben de la Red has called an end to his footballing career because of a heart defect, his club Real Madrid announced on Thursday.

De la Red, whose condition was detected after he fainted in a King s Cup match in October 2008, will continue working at the Spanish giants as a coach.

I ve fought against this in vain and doctors advised me to stop.

He added: Real Madrid have watched m…

Aston Villa whiz-kid Barry Bannan is delighted with his new lease on life at the club, saying former boss Martin O Neill left him disheartened.

The 20-year-old has impressed as part of a youthful side at Villa Park under Frenchman Gerard Houllier, with the likes of Marc Albrighton, Ciaran Clark, Jonathan Hogg, Eric Lichaj and Nathan Delfouneso getting their own time to shine in the English Premier League.

Bannan s performances led to a call-up from Scotland, and he promptly starred in his country s 3-0 win over the Faroe Islands on Tuesday.

But he could easily have departed Villa due to a poor relationship with previous manager O Neill, with Bannan forced to go on-loan to Derby County and Blackpool in the past two seasons to get first-team opportunities.
