The loud and very expensive return of the Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku to London's Chelsea from Inter Milan during last year's offseason finally gave the "blues" not very strong reinforcement.

The 29-year-old has scored 15 goals and given two assists in 44 games, which is not on the same level as his previous performances as a "snake".

In the end, the relative uncertainty of his position at the club led to rumors of a possible transfer of Lukaku back to Inter on a lease.

A little later, the clubs still began some negotiations, but the initial demands of Chelsea were so significant that in fact discouraged the Milan club's desire to fight for the player.

Despite this, the Nerazzurri did not give up in their ... Read more »

In the current transfer window, London's Arsenal have already arranged the transfers of 19-year-old right winger Sao Paulo Marquinhos and 22-year-old Porto playmaker Fabio Vieira, but the work of the "gunners" to strengthen the staff is not completed and ideally four more transfers are planned.

According to The Athletic, they are Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus, Leicester central midfielder Yuri Tillemans, Leeds United winger Rafinho and Ajax left-footed central defender Lisandro Martinez, who may also close the left flank.

First of all, Arsenal is trying to close the deal on Jesus. The £ 50m needed by the City, as well as the player's financial situation, is not a problem for the Gunners.

As for Tillemans, his signi ... Read more »

Goalkeeper of the national team of Ukraine Andriy Lunin decided to stay at Real Madrid for next season. This was reported by Madrid Xtra with reference to journalist Jose Louise Sanchez on La Sexta TV.

According to the source, 23 Ukrainians agreed with the role of the second goalkeeper of the "cream" and the backup of the undisputed "first number" Thibaut Courtois.

It is alleged that after negotiations with Real's management, Lunin decided to stay in the Madrid giants, despite the small amount of playing time and rumors of a summer lease.

Last season, Andriy Lunin played only 4 matches for Real in all tournaments in which he missed 4 goals.

Another summer newcomer to Tottenham, Fraser Forster, commented on his transition to a state of "spurs".

The footballer said that it is impossible to refuse a club like Tottenham.

"I am delighted. This is a fantastic opportunity for me. It is impossible to refuse such a club. I am now in a world-class city. It is the best stadium I have ever played.

A fantastic season and a great adventure in the Champions League await us. If I can help the team, I will be happy to do it, "said Forster.

The 34-year-old goalkeeper signed a contract until 2024.

A few days earlier, the Danish national team defeated Austria in the second round of the UEFA League of Nations (2: 1), thanks to which it led the quartet, which also includes France and Croatia.

Brentford midfielder Christian Eriksen, who returned to the English Premier League this season after playing for Inter Milan and suffering from heart problems, gave Jens Larsen the second goal of the second half.

Undoubtedly, this episode did not go unnoticed by the scouts of Manchester United, who came to this game at the request of the new head coach Eric ten Gaga in order to get acquainted with the form of the leader of the Danish team.

It is worth noting that the term of the short-term agreement between Brentford and Christian has expired, but the head coach of the "bees" Thomas Frank is confident that the club will be able to sign a new contract with the player.

After all, not only were the Manchester United scouts present at the game, but the ... Read more »
