Raheem Sterling claimed he would prove his aggression against Everton after being shocked by his low rating on FIFA 20 before his ePremier League Invitational quarter-final.

The Manchester City winger revealed his desire to have a room in his house dedicated to trophies and another for the shirts he has picked up throughout his career.

City Football Group (CFG) have been in negotiations with the Ligue 2 outfit about becoming the organisation's ninth team but the Coronavirus pandemic has put talks on ice.

Kevin De Bruyne has warned Thierry Henry that he is ready to break his 17-year-old Premier League assist record when the season resumes. The Belgian is only four short of Henry's total of 20.

Sane has been the Bundesliga side's No 1 target since last summer but a knee ligament injury picked up in August's Community Shield ended any hopes of a transfer.

Guardiola is still on the lookout for a new assistant to replace Mikel Arteta, who left to become Arsenal head coach in December last year, with Alonso a leading candidate for the position.

The Brazil international's current contract is set to run until the summer of 2021, and another one year deal would take him to the age of 37. Fernandinho has been at City since 2013. 

Pep Guardiola is keen to bring Semedo to the Etihad and is willing to part with money and offer his former club Cancelo, who only signed from Juventus for £60m last summer, in order to reach a deal.

The Manchester City forward believes his Argentina team-mate is happy at Camp Nou and has backed him to retire there, despite recent rumours linking him with a move away from the club.

The 16-year-old is viewed as one of the best youngsters in Scotland and City, among other Premier League's leading teams, including Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea, are keen.

Sane was heavily linked with a move to the German giants last summer only for the 24-year-old to pick up a near-season ending cruciate ligament injury in August's Community Shield.

The Premier League held a virtual meeting on Friday to finalise plans for 'Project Restart' with clubs determined to finish the 2019-2020 campaign but Laporte insists football must listen to the experts.

The Manchester City forward, who would become Puma's highest-paid footballer should the deal go through, is also being pursued by rivals Adidas, New Balance and Under Armour.

Liverpool lead second-place Manchester City by 25 points, and Hugo Lloris insists 'everyone' within the game wants to see the 2019-20 campaign reach its natural conclusion on the pitch. 

It is sad that one of the Premier League's modern greats may leave our game this summer with the same lack of fanfare that greeted his arrival almost 10 years ago.

Adebayor, who is currently isolating in his native Togo, refused to give money to help battle the deadly virus before expressing his desire to be able to do as he pleases with his wealth.

Both Premier League clubs have watched 17-year-old KV Mechelen midfielder in this season. Vranckx caught the eye when he scored the first and set up the second in a 2-0 win over Anderlecht. 

The Red Devils have not won the Premier League since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. City have won three league titles in that time as Liverpool edge closer to winning their first in 30 years.

He's already broken the 20-goal mark for the third consecutive campaign but that is not enough these days. Scoring every other game is not deemed prolific enough and Sterling wants more.

The Premier League's biggest clubs face a further financial headache and the risk of breaking sponsorship agreements over the cancellation of this summer's pre-season tours.

The Argentine full-back was one of the last signings made by the club prior to the new owners, arriving just days before the Abu Dhabi buyout was confirmed in September 2008.

City Football Group, who are majority owned by Abu Dhabi United and have involvement from China Media Capital, CITIC Capital and Silver Lake, will wipe out Lommel's debts of £1.75million.

AMITAI WINEHOUSE AT SELHURST PARK: If Roy Hodgson was hoping for a favour from the man he made England captain, Wayne Rooney was not in an obliging mood.

Amid the ongoing criticism of the implementation of VAR in the Premier League this season, a referee finally used the pitchside monitor to aide a decision on Sunday.

Roy Hodgson was not surprised to see the pitchside monitor used during their 1-0 defeat to Derby in the FA Cup but is unsure if he wants it to become a regular occurrence.
