Ivory Coast forward Bayo, 22, has also joined from Dunajska Streda on a four-year deal, although he will need time to get up to speed, while the deal to sign 21-year-old Ukraine international Maryan Shved from Karpaty Lviv is set to be finalised next week, although the winger will immediately leave on loan. Rodgers is content with his options, which will be boosted further by the return of midfielder…

Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown claims Victor Lindelof “has started to understand what it takes in English football” and has compared the Swede to club legend Nemanja Vidic. Lindelof, 24, moved to Old Trafford in 2017 for £31million in the summer of 2017 but struggled with the intensity of the Premier League in his first season. His form has improved over the last few months and has really gone up another gear since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho at the Old Trafford helm. Lindelof has started Solskjaer’s first six Premier League games in charge of the club – which United have all won. And Brown, who won 13…

Anthony Martial has signed a new contract with Manchester United, the club have confirmed. The 23-year-old said he is loving life under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his new deal keeps him at Old Trafford until 2024. Martial joined the club from Monaco in 2015, with his £58m transfer fee at the time making him the most expensive teenager in football. He has scored 46 goals in 162 games and he told the club’s official website: “I am loving my time at this club. “From the day I joined I have been made to feel part of the United family and I have been incredibly humbled and overwhelmed by the warmth and love…

James Ward-Prowse’s 77th-minute equaliser helped Southampton build momentum in their fight against relegation after they came from behind to draw 1-1 at home to ten-man Crystal Palace. Palace star man Wilfried Zaha appeared to put them on course for victory after ending his long goal drought just before half-time. With defeat looking likely Southampton then showed further signs of the resilience Ralph Hasenhuttl has developed since his appointment in December. They had taken seven points from nine in their previous three Premier League games and secured their latest when Ward-Prowse scored for a third league match in succession to take them above Burnley and up to 16th as Zaha received…

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to return for Liverpool’s title run-in. The England midfielder, 25, was expected to be sidelined for the entire season after damaging knee ligaments last April. But reports claim Oxlade-Chamberlain could be fully fit by early March. His potential return will be a huge boost to Jurgen Klopp’s side – and could see the Reds revert to last season’s 4-3-3 formation. Oxlade-Chamberlain thrived in a midfield three, being the link between Liverpool’s defence and attack. He scored a stunning goal in their 3-0 Champions League first leg quarter-final win over Manchester City before suffering his knee injury against Roma in the next round. A midfield three of Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby…

Maurizio Sarri has called for Callum Hudson-Odoi to show some respect to Chelsea and its academy, after confirming the wantaway forward will not be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge this month. Hudson-Odoi, 18, handed in a transfer request last week in an attempt to force through a move to Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga giants have pursued Hudson-Odoi for some time, and have had several bids – most notably one worth a reported £35million – turned down for the highly-rated youngster. Blues boss Sarri insists the England Under-19 international is going nowhere in this transfer window though, and says he owes the club a debt of gratitude for nurturing his development.…

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admits he never celebrates as wildly as he did for Fernando Llorente’s late winner in the 2-1 victory over Watford on Wednesday night. Llorente atoned for a shocking miss by heading home an 87th minute winner, after Heung-min Son cancelled out Craig Cathcart’s first-half opener for Watford. Spurs were heading for a third consecutive Premier League defeat at Wembley, but after a dramatic final ten minutes, things look considerably rosier with other results also going their way. And Pochettino revealed his overwhelming joy for both his team and under-fire striker Llorente, who has had a tough time replacing the injured Harry Kane. “I was so happy.…

Southampton’s Cedric Soares has completed his move to Inter Milan on loan for the rest of the season, with an option to buy the defender for £9.5m in the summer. The right-back, 27, has played more than 100 games for Saints – scoring two goals since signing in 2015. Soares’ arrival was prompted by Inter’s growing injury problems over Sime Vrsaljko, who is on loan from Atletico Madrid. There have been a number of departures from St Mary’s this month as new manager Ralph Hasenhuttl attempts to reshape his squad – with Manolo Gabbiadini, Steven Davis and Wesley Hoedt all leaving the club too. Cedric joined Southampton in 2015 in…
