Atletico Madrid also showed interest in him. Shortly before the end of the summer transfer window, Werner signed a three-year extension with Leipzig, preventing his contract from expiring this year and making sure the club weren't left empty-handed. And then along came Chelsea, offering a weekly wage of around £175,000 - almost doubling his current salary - and a £12m fee to his agent Karlheinz Forster, taking the total outlay to more than £100m.
The Uefa route didn't happen a while ago," the Parishes of Jersey manager James Scott told BBC Radio Jersey. Has much happened since then regarding the Uefa offer of maybe getting some fixtures for the Jersey FA when they were unsuccessful with their application? Honestly, no. So Conifa offers something completely different. The reality is, we haven't got into Uefa, so what is the Plan B? If this World Cup goes to plan, potentially this could be the route going forward.
Getty Images 09:00 - No NBA decision until May The NBA doesn't expect to have a decision about the status of the 2019-20 season until at least May, commissioner Adam Silver said.

Throw in another apparent disagreement between Tuchel and Mbappe after the young tyro was substituted at the weekend, and it all gives the impression of a club that perhaps isn’t in the ideal state. There is nothing personal between him and me. These things happen,” Tuchel said. It was between a player who does not want to come off and a coach who had his reasons for doing something and who wanted to give a game to players who deserved it.
Arsenal have missed out on Europe's elite club competition for three consecutive seasons and the Spaniard added that a fourth could also have a big financial impact. It's a no-brainer," Arteta told reporters when asked if it was easier to sign players with Champions League qualification secured. Every player in the world wants to play Champions League and if you talk about having this option on the table, players are much more open to join or renew their contract.
Torpedo BelAZ are on the third place with 15 points. They are very close to the top as BATE and Slutsk have 16 points. Torpedo are in solid form, they are unbeaten since early April. However, most of the matches finished with draw - 3 of the last 4. Even more, they finished with a goalless draw. Anyway, I think coach Yirij Puntus is satisfied with the results, as well as the fans. After all, nobody is expecting the title. Gorodeya have 11 points and sit on the 11th place. Their biggest problem is the inconsistency. Nevertheless, Gorodeya are not bad at the moment. They shared the points on the last two occasions with Rukh Brest and FC Minsk. Both games ended with an 1:1 draw. I will try draw as I think both teams will be satisfy with one point here.
Middlesbrough have claimed all of their wins against the league’s lesser lights, with each of those victories coming in 1-0 home wins.

But Nathan Jones' men refused to lay down and completely turned the tie on its head thanks to an own goal from Kelvin Mellor and strikes by Scott Cuthbert and Danny Hylton.

Bayer Leverkusen will host Hertha BSC for this fixture of the league. I believe, the hosts are favorites in this game. Bayer are more ambitious team in this season. Also, Bayer is really better team at home stadium. Of course, they will try to make a positive result. However, in previous game Bayer lost 2-0 against weak FC Koln.. Also, we have Hertha who's is very average team in this league. However, the visitors are in danger of getting to the relegation zone. In any case, the visitors will try to fight at least one point. My pick - Hertha to win.
Sheffield United midfielder Oliver Norwood says fitness is not a concern for the Blades as they prepare for the Premier League to restart. United will be one of the first teams to return to action, when they play Aston Villa on Wednesday 17 June. That will be 100 days since the Premier League was suspended, and squads only resumed contact training on Thursday. But Norwood told BBC Radio 5 live: "If you told us we were playing this weekend, I think we would be ready.
The fans were not happy," Ljungberg told reporters. I got asked about it and said, 'At Arsenal, that's not how we behave and not what we do'. I stand by that.

The visitors have seen over 2.5 goals scored in 75% of their matches so far this season. That includes each of their last 11 matches. With Lecce conceding two goals per game on average this season we expect a high scoring clash, soover 2.5 goals is our tip for this one.

Stick a terrible opinion out there and one like represents validation. Empowered by said validation, here starts a vicious cycle of terrible opinions that culminates in typing the hashtag #TaintedTitle into a micro blogging site and attaching some nonsense to that hashtag along the lines of the Premier League title race is being swung in the favour of Liverpool by some sort of refereeing Illuminati that, given the evidence, didn't give a toss about swinging the title in Liverpool's favour for the last 30 years.

They can sing that," said Klopp. I am not here to dictate what they sing. If our fans were not in a good mood now that would be really strange.

They all said fine, let's do it in the tunnel, but then Sir Alex came along, with a face like thunder and said "no-one is giving any shirts to anyone - everyone in the changing room, now". At the time, I remember thinking he was a bit out of order but then you remember the rivalry between the two clubs and the fact he had just been embarrassed by us at their own ground, and I can understand why he was so angry.
We know how good Sheffield United are on the road, and they give everyone a game - full-stop. The Blades have lost their past two away games, against Manchester City and Liverpool, but they were unlucky to end up empty-handed. Chris Wilder's side showed against the Hammers that they can get over the line without playing well, which is another reason I'm backing them to spring a bit of a surprise here.
United is no longer a football club, it's an institution. I feel the demands are beyond one human being. Returns as Manchester United manager on a temporary basis after his successor Wilf McGuiness is sacked. I'm getting tired of a lot of things, I thought when I gave up the managership I was going to get a bit of peace and quiet. Unfortunately that hasn't been the case. I can never understand this situation and the controversy about Sir Matt Busby's image and Sir Matt Busby looking over everyone's shoulder and doing this and that.

It’s safe to say that the summer appointment of Steve Bruce wasn’t overwhelmingly popular at St James’ Park, and it’s been far from plain sailing for the boss.

Today we have a match in the UEFA youth league which is a soccer tournament for the u19 teams in Europe and here we will see a match between sheriff Tiraspol and red star Belgrade from Serbia. I believe in a victory for the Serbian team as I see them as clearly better and favorite team. The Moldovan team is a team that do not play in good level and I believe there will be many problems from the start. For the other side to expect great pressure from the Star and an easy victory in the end for them
The Championship is not financially sustainable, it's a bubble waiting to burst," he said.

That poor run from the Swans should cost them in this clash. The Cottagers have found their feet in recent weeks, with three straight wins behind them in the league. They’ve managed to climb into the mix for the playoffs as a result, but that’s all we really expected from a side as talented as Fulham’s. The visitors come here with a strong side and that makes them worthy favourites.
