Everton s Mason Holgate has undergone a medical ahead of a potential loan move to West Bromwich Albion, according to Sky Sports.
The defender, who controversially accused Liverpool s Roberto Firmino of racism 12 months ago with no evidence, has found his game-time non-existent this season, after the arrivals of manager Marco Silva and defenders Kurt Zouma and Yerry Mina. The Toffees have reportedly been open to loan offers for some time now, and West Brom have apparently beaten Leeds United to secure his services for the rest of 2018/19.
The 22-year-old started out at Barnsley and moved to Goodison Park in 2015, but he didn t play at all in his first season there. He made 42 appearances over the next two campaigns and that remains his total in an Everton shirt. Being on…
There are so many things in this world money CAN buy.
Some claim love and happiness can even be obtained with enough funds and while that may well be true, in case of Paris Saint-Germain the bagful of green ones – exceeding the whopping amount of £1 billion – cannot buy you a Champions League trophy.
Champions League Dream
With their domestic dominance firmly asserted following an upset year of 2016/17 when AS Monaco climbed their way to the Ligue 1 top, Paris Saint-Germain once again shifted their full focus on winning the Champions League.
The summer behind us made PSG fans believe the Champions League success was enticingly achievable.

Substitute Sergio Aguero proved Manchester City s hero as they overcame Burnley in a tense 2-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium, despite playing almost an hour with 10 men.
The Argentinian striker surprisingly dropped to the bench for City s second game in 48 hours after their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool was introduced as a second-half replacement for Kelechi Iheanacho and subsequently proved the match-winner, after stand-in captain Fernandinho had been sent off.
The Brazilian jumped in with a two-footed scissor motion to challenge Johann Berg Gudmundsson in the 32nd minute and, despite appearing to get a touch on the ball, was shown a straight red by referee Lee Mason.
City kept their cool, though, and two goals in the space of four minutes from Gael Clichy and…
The 2021/22 Premier League campaign has officially come to an end following the final set of 10 fixtures on Sunday, and what a wild ride it was. We had action at both the top and the bottom of the table and at the Emirates, we saw six goals as Arsenal ran out 5-1 winners over Everton.
Today, we re going to take a look at a few things we learned coming away from the North London battering.
Arsenal soar, Everton on the beach
Arsenal knew that their chance of securing a place in the top four and Champions League football was probably gone, but they went out there and did their job anyway. They stuck five past Everton and did so with a real hint of what could ve been for the fans to digest, whereas Everton already seemed to be on the beach. Given that they d sealed surviva…
Manchester City winger Leroy Sane has stepped up his bid to return from anterior cruciate ligament damage in his right knee.
The Germany international underwent surgery in August after sustaining the injury during City s Community Shield meeting with Liverpool at Wembley.
City and Sane posted a short video on their Twitter accounts on Tuesday, showing Sane dribbling the ball and taking part in solo sprinting and finishing drills at the club s City Football Academy base.
Sane captioned the post: Small steps on the comeback trail … #patience

Wellington Phoenix moved off the bottom of the A-League table after playing out a thrilling 2-2 draw with Western Sydney Wanderers on Sunday.
A three-goal blitz in eight second-half minutes saw the visitors come from behind to lead only to end up sharing the spoils at WIN Stadium.
Mirza Muratovic scored at the second attempt nine minutes in and Phoenix held the advantage until 19 minutes from time, when Kwame Yeboah headed in a Keanu Baccus cross.
Bruce Kamau turned in Daniel Wilmering s delivery just five minutes later only for Louis Fenton to head in a quick-fire equaliser.
The Wanderers stretched their unbeaten league run to seven games, their longest since a 10-match streak that ended in January 2016, but they missed out on the chance to go above Ma…
The Football Association (FA) will consider disciplinary action against clubs whose supporters engage in discriminatory behaviour , including rent boy chants.
It has been a familiar occurrence in recent years at Chelsea matches for opposition fans to use the chant, which in January 2022 was defined as a hate crime by the Crown Prosecution Service.
The chant was audible during Manchester City s FA Cup third-round win against the Blues on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium, and City confirmed after the match they would be looking into the matter along with the FA.
A statement issued by the FA on Wednesday said it strongly condemns all offensive, abusive and discriminatory chanting in football stadiums, and is determined to stamp this behaviour out .
Sunday s inci…
Nearly four years after the infamous loss to Trinidad and Tobago that saw the United States fail to qualify for Russia 2018, a young USA side opened the final round of 2022 World Cup qualifying with a 0-0 draw at El Salvador on Thursday.
USA head coach Gregg Berhalter s inexperienced team, missing star Christian Pulisic and goalkeeper Zack Steffen, managed to take a point before a raucous crowd in San Salvador following their CONCACAF Gold Cup success last month.
It might not have been a scintillating performance for a side coming off Gold Cup and CONCACAF Nations League triumphs, but the USA will take it after opening their 2018 qualifying campaign with successive losses.
Nine players in the USA starting line-up were making their first appearance in a Worl…
Lionel Messi scored in Barcelona s clash with Eibar to take his LaLiga goal tally to 400, becoming the first player in the competition s history to hit the milestone.
The 31-year-old is LaLiga s all-time top goalscorer by some distance, having surpassed the previous record of 251, held for 59 years by Athletic Bilbao great Telmo Zarra, in November 2014.
The goal came after 53 minutes as he doubled Barca s lead against Eibar with a typically clinical finish with his left foot.
The Argentina international is now 89 goals ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, and the only other active LaLiga players in the division s top 30 goalscorers of all time are Aritz Aduriz and Karim Benzema.
Messi is one of only seven players to have scored 400 goals in Europe s top leagues…
Copa Libertadores champions Palmeiras have the chance to claim back-to-back titles after edging Brazilian rivals Atletico Mineiro in the semi-finals.
Palmeiras advanced to the 2021 showpiece 1-1 on away goals following Tuesday s 1-1 draw away to Mineiro in Belo Horizonte.
After a scoreless first-leg draw, Palmeiras Dudu struck in the 68th minute, cancelling out Eduardo Vargas 52nd-minute opener.
Palmeiras will be the fourth consecutive team to play in two successive Libertadores finals since 2000, after Boca Juniors (2000 and 2001, 2003 and 2004), Sao Paulo (2005 and 2006) and River Plate (2018 and 2019) as they await either Flamengo or Barcelona in the decider.
