Sevilla are reportedly moving away from signing Tottenham youngster and former player Bryan Gil this winter, with the club now favouring a move for Ajax’s Lucas Ocampos.

However, it seems that talks of a move to Sevilla being in its final stages have been vastly overstated. Although, other clubs are vying to sign the 21-year-old, so a January departure for Gil is still on the cards. That is according to Estadio Deportivo,…

Let’s take a look at why it’s one of the most underappreciated films of all time: 1. The mysterious narrative of the movie: Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz. On the exterior, Vanilla Sky is the tale of David Aames, a magazine magnate and exec battling a nasty board…

When Casemiro stood in for Manchester United at centre-back against Burnley, Erik ten Hag said that Luke Shaw had offered himself to fill-in at the position too. Last night amid another centre-back crisis, Shaw got the nod to fill in.

Either way it worked out very well, and Luke Shaw held up his end of the bargain very well. Luke Shaw centre-back stats Luke Shaw has played at centre-back for…
