    Chelsea transfer news: Victor Moses to join Fenerbahce on loan after completing medical

    Victor Moses has completed a medical ahead of a loan move from Chelsea to Fenerbahce. The 28-year-old is set to sign a short-term deal until the end of the season having arrived in Turkey to finalise the deal on Wednesday.

    Marcus Rashford will become Manchester United legend if he spends next 10 years with Red Devils, Wes Brown says

    Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown believes Marcus Rashford will become a club legend as long as he spends the next decade at Old Trafford. Rashford made his 150th appearance for the Red Devils last week, and he celebrated by scoring in a 2-1 defeat of Brighton that made it seven wins in a row for the Red Devils. The England international, who only turned 21 a few months ago, struggled for form under United’s previous manager, Jose Mourinho, but he has burst into life since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was named the club’s caretaker boss. He’s netted five times in his last six Premier League appearances, and the youngster has…

    Bakary Sako: Crystal Palace re-sign forward from West Brom in short-term deal until end of the season

    Crystal Palace have re-signed Bakary Sako from West Brom in a short-term deal until the end of the season, the Premier League club have confirmed. The Mali international made 50 appearances for the Eagles between 2015 and 2018, but left last summer when his contract expired and signed a one-year deal with the Baggies. But the 30-year-old forward struggled to make an impact at The Hawthorns, starting only three times, and Albion have agreed to release him from his contract so he can return to Selhurst Park. “I’m delighted that we’ve managed to bring Bakary back to Palace,” manager Roy Hodgson said. “He’s a player with a huge amount of…

    Victor Moses: Fenerbahce sign Nigeria international on loan from Chelsea until end of 2019/20 season

    Fenerbahce have signed Chelsea winger Victor Moses on an 18-month loan, the Premier League club have confirmed. Moses, 28, has moved to Turkey until the end of the 2019/20 season after falling out of favour under Maurizio Sarri. Moses was converted from a winger to wing-back by Antonio Conte, Sarri’s predecessor, playing a key role in the 2016-17 title triumph. Crystal Palace academy graduate Moses signed a contract extension in March 2017 to commit to Chelsea until the end of the 2020-21 campaign. But Sarri said Moses was not suitable for his style of play, and the former Nigeria international has made just one start and four substitute appearances this…

    Kieran Trippier: Five possible replacements for the Tottenham defender

    Tottenham Hotspur right-back Kieran Trippier may have been involved in one of the most iconic moments of 2018 but he’s been frustrating fans ever since. The 28-year-old may find Harry Kane in the penalty area regularly but defensively he’s put in some calamitous performances this season, as he did in the defeat to Manchester United. Many of team-mate Moussa Sissoko’s fine displays of late have come as shores up midfield ahead of Trippier, shielding him from attacks. It’s no coincidence United were so willing to exploit Spurs’ right flank and had success almost immediately after the Frenchman was forced off with injury. It appears Mauricio Pochettino doesn’t trust Serge Aurier…
