Sheridan Smith joked about her 30th birthday look today on Twitter
The talented actress told a friend via Twitter that she had been "very drunk", after they posted a snap of her in a very plunging look from three years ago.
Posing provocatively, the Cilla star joked she'd never let the same happen again after tweeting her 630,000 followers: "Exciting turn of events today work wise and looking forward to my lastminute.com birthday gathering tomorrow with amazing pals (new and old)."
Sheridan's cleavage was impossible to miss in the bra-flashing vest, which she cheekily pulled down as she pouted at the camera.
She quickly replied: "'@GoodallSJ: greatest birthday outfit ever!' NOOO! Very drunk 30th. Never again."

Sheridan, who received an OBE last month, hinted that her birthday could again be a messy one, quipping: "Uh oh, let the birthday celebrations commence."
However her day didn't appear to have got off to the best of starts: "God damn waking up at work time with NO work! I'll never last my birthday drinks at this rate. Eye mask on (t**t) and back to sleep."
Later adding: "My dream prezzy! Never gonna happen but a girl can dream," to accompany a photo of a tiny piglet

The 29-year-old model retired to hotel room and stripped off before filling up on some delicious pasta.
Enjoying her late night post-party snack of spaghetti bolognese, the foodie was curled up on her bed in the buff, covering her modesty with the fluffy white duvet.
Chrissy's toned arms and sunkissed back were on show as she bent over her plate and wolfed down the Italian treat.
By this point in the evening, the US beauty's hair was in a tousled bed-head style but she still managed to look pretty.
Chrissy waved at onlookers from the deck of the boat

She simply captioned the snap: "Eating some spaghetti."
Earlier in the night, the Sports Illustrated star was looking much more polished on board the luxurious boat in the south of France.
Wearing an electrifying pair of silk orange trousers with a thin white bandeau bralet and a matching tailored jacket over the top, Chrissy flashed her toned midriff and a hint of cleavage at the star-studded event.

Chelsea pursuit of Raheem Sterling will not go above £40m

3:22 AM 0 Comments



Chelsea are not willing to bid above £40m

Chelsea are not willing to bid above £40m for Raheem Sterling, according to Sky sources.

Chelsea v Swansea

Manchester City have tabled two bids for Sterling, the second believed to be around £40m for the Liverpool and England forward.
Sky Sports News HQ understands Chelsea have also been interested in signing the 20-year-old but are not prepared to meet Liverpool's £50m valuation for the player.
Sterling joined Liverpool from QPR in 2010 and is under contract until 2017, but has turned down the offer of a new deal worth £100,000-a-week.
He has maintained throughout negotiations that his issue is not about money, stating in April, in an interview not sanctioned by the club, that he did not want to be viewed as a "money-grabbing 20-year-old".
Raheem Sterling has been relaxing by using a Flyboard. He's returned home, with his future still uncertain as Liverpool rejected two bids from Man City
Brendan Rodgers has insisted Sterling is not for sale, despite Manchester City's pursuit of top English talent, and plans to invest heavily.
City's chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said last week: "You will see us in the market bringing in high-quality individuals that fit within what we are aspiring to.
"We want a squad which is able and has the capability and quality to win the Premier League, to compete and win the Champions League and be able to go all the way in two cup competitions in England."

Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak claims there will be big changes at the club this summer
Chelsea, on the other hand, have discussed the possibility of letting one of their players go. Mohamed Salah is set to meet with Fiorentina to discuss extending his loan.
If he wants to stay at the Italian club they will be forced to pay £1m for his services for the year. If he decides to stay at Chelsea they will have to keep or sell him, they would not be able to loan him out to another club due to the terms of his contract.

Raheem Sterling and Charlie Austin odds-on to move, Sergio Ramos and Harry Kane to stay



Sergio Ramos
Sergio Ramos
Ramos looked destined to go down as a Real Madrid legend, etched into the club’s rich history as the man who saved La Decima, but could his 10-year stay be set to come to a bitter end? Speculation has been rife in the Spanish press that the relationship between the 29-year-old and the club’s hierarchy has broken down, with Manchester United supposedly poised to pounce. With just two years left on his contact, United might be hoping to pick Ramos up at a reduced price, but Guillem Balague insists that nothing but a €200m buy-out clause will do - and Real don't want to sell anyway. Sky Bet side with the Spanish football pundit, going 1/6 that Ramos remains at the Bernabeu and 5/1 for a move to Old Trafford.
Favourite to: Stay at Real Madrid

Harry Kane

Harry Kane
It seemed inevitable that the season’s breakthrough player would be linked with a top club this summer, with Tottenham fans well versed when it comes to speculation surrounding their star men. Having seen Gareth Bale depart two years ago, they will be desperate to hold on to 21-year-old Kane, who netted 21 Premier League goals last season. Manchester United missed out when Bale headed to Madrid but are favourites for Kane at 4/1. However, Sky Bet expect Tottenham to hold on to the England striker, for now at least, with odds of 1/8 on no deal happening.
Favourite to: Stay at Tottenham

Charlie Austin
Charlie Austin
Austin is sure to attract plenty of interest this summer after scoring 18 goals in QPR’s doomed campaign. That impressive tally has already attracted an England call-up and various Premier League clubs are thought to be lining up bids, with Newcastle (1/2), West Ham (4/1), Southampton (8/1) and Bournemouth (10/1) heading the betting. Hoops fans hoping the 25-year-old remains at Loftus Road may be disappointed - the odds of Austin staying put this summer are 14/1.
Favourite to: Join Newcastle

Nathaniel Clyne
Nathaniel Clyne
Nathaniel Clyne
Like Austin and Kane, Clyne attracted international recognition for a stand-out campaign, with the Premier League’s top clubs also alerted. Manchester United were initially thought to lead the chase for the 24-year-old right-back’s services but it is Liverpool who now head the betting at odds of 1/4, with their bitter rivals out to 4/1. Southampton, who boasted the second best defensive recorded in the Premier League last season, are 6/1 to hold on to their man, with no obvious replacement lined up.
Favourite to: Join Liverpool

Raheem Sterling
Raheem Sterling

Liverpool’s prized asset is one of the shortest-priced players to move in Sky Bet’s transfer betting, with odds of just 2/9 to join Manchester City this summer and 9/2 to stay at Anfield. With no sign of renewed contract talks, Liverpool must decide what price, if any, they are willing to sell the 20-year-old for, having reportedly rejected two previous bids. A third offer from City looks inevitable, although the prospect of a deal with Real Madrid (7/1), Chelsea (8/1), Arsenal (10/1) and Manchester United (16/1) is not ruled out.

Paul Pogba

Former Manchester United midfielder Pogba has been relentlessly linked with a return to the Premier League, while he is reportedly also on the radars of Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, Champions League runners-up Juventus seem to have no reason to sell and, with no formal bids on the table, are odds-on at 5/6 to retain his services. Manchester City is once again considered the most likely destination at 7/4 while the Spanish giants are 6/1 apiece.
Favourite to: Stay at Juventus


Jack Wilshere

Jack Wilshere
Another player linked with City, with the additional benefit of boosting their depleted homegrown contingent, is Wilshere. However, Sky Bet see this deal as even less likely with Arsenal, like Juve, reluctant to sell. The 23-year-old endured another injury-ravaged campaign for the Gunners but rediscovered fitness and form towards the end of the season, signing off with an impressive brace for England. He’s just 1/10 to remain at the Emirates beyond the transfer window and 6/1 to join City, with double-figure odds on any other potential suitor.

Arsenal agree £10.9m fee for Chelsea's Petr Cech

Petr Cech's move across London is imminent after a fee was agreed between Chelsea and Arsenal
Petr Cech's move across London is imminent after a fee was agreed between Chelsea and Arsenal
It is understood that Cech has already agreed personal terms in principle with Arsenal, but no final deal has been announced by either club.
If the deal goes through, as is now widely expected, Cech could be eligible for Arsenal's first game of the season - the Community Shield on August 2 when their opponents will be Premier League champions Chelsea, where Cech has won a string of major honours in an 11-year spell at Stamford Bridge.
The transfer will be a cash only deal, with Chelsea's request to receive a home-grown player as part of the proposed transfer no longer being considered.

Cech is said to be grateful to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich for allowing him to move to whatever club he chooses, even though that is now set to be London and title rivals Arsenal.
The 33-year-old has one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge but has been searching for a new employer after spending much of last season as second choice 'keeper behind Thibaut Courtois.
Chelsea captain John Terry said on Monday that he believes Arsenal will be buying an extra 12-15 points a season if they complete a deal for Cech.

Liverpool sign Roberto Firmino from Hoffenheim

Liverpool have confirmed the signing of striker Roberto Firmino from Hoffenheim

Sky Sports News HQ understands that Liverpool will pay £21.3m now, but the fee could eventually rise to £28m which would make him Liverpool's second most expensive player after Andy Carroll.

Firmino, 23, is Liverpool’s fifth signing of the summer as boss Brendan Rodgers rebuilds his squad following a disappointing Premier League campaign. Danny Ings, Adam Bodgan, Joe Gomez and James Milner have also been brought in.
The Reds have so far resisted two offers from Manchester City for Raheem Sterling but Firmino's arrival - on what Sky sources understand is a five-year deal - could see City resurrect their interest in the England international.

Firmino arrived at Hoffenheim at the start of 2011 having been signed for £3.52m as a 19-year-old, and has scored 48 times in 152 appearances for the German side, notching seven times in the Bundesliga last term.
And he was also on target for Brazil in their 2-1 Copa America victory over Venezuela on Sunday.
In the absence of Neymar, who has been suspended for the rest of the event, Firmino and Philippe Coutinho - now Liverpool team-mates - are set to start again in Saturday's quarter final against Paraguay.

United and Chelsea Battle For Sergio Ramos

Sergio Ramos

News emerging from Spain is suggesting that Sergio Ramos is looking to leave Real Madrid and play for a club outside of Spain. The 29-year-old is under contract with Real Madrid until 2017, and could end his decade long collaboration with Real and start looking for a new challenge.
The defender has over 120 caps for Spain and has an official buyout clause of €180m (£128m) - a fee which will certainly not be met by any club. However it is thought that both Chelsea and Manchester United believe they can tempt the club by offering around £30m.
Manchester United have responded to Real Madrid’s initial bid of £13m for David de Gea by telling the Spanish club they won't accept anything less than £25m, unless a player is involved in the deal. Madrid are convinced they will eventually sign De Gea, and it seems United might be holding out for Los Blancos to involve Ramos in a potential deal.
The central defender joined Madrid from Sevilla for €27m when he was still a teenager. He has appeared over 400 times for the club, and is the vice-captain. However, negotiations over a new contract have stalled and there is no real indication as to whether or not he will sign a new deal.
The Spaniard is said to be one of Mourinho’s favorites from his time as Real Madrid manager, and the Portuguese man is now set to test Real's resolve with a bid for Ramos. Chelsea would be in with a real chance of signing Ramos due to Mourinho's relationship with the player, their Championship status would also attract the World Cup winning defender.
Sergio Ramos comes to mu

But it must be said that the lure of Manchester United speaks volumes more than that of Chelsea's. If Ramos joined, he would become yet another Spanish player in the squad, in a list that is slowly growing.
Real are known for having little respect for their star players especially after they reach a certain age. No big player has ended his professional career at Santiago Bernabeu if you consider the club’s recent history. Ramos could follow in the footsteps of players like Roberto Carlos and Raul who moved away without being offered the option of finishing their brilliant runs on the pitch where they played the most.

Van Persie, who still has another season left on his Old Trafford contract, has been linked with a move to Italian side Lazio after he was spotted in Rome last week, but the Dutch striker claims he is happy and relaxed about his future.
“Am I worried?” Van Persie said, in the Daily Mirror. “No, I’m totally relaxed. I have a contract with this club until 2016.
“Things could change now, but that all depends on Manchester United, not me. Believe me, I’m relaxed – I’m not going to be part of a puppet show.
“In August I’m 32. But I still have the ambition to play for another eight years.
“Playing in the first-team is very important for me. This is why I will probably step down one level when I am 36 or 37. But not now.“In a few years’ time I may have to accept that I will no longer play at the very highest level. I don’t think that moment is coming now. I still feel very, very fit.

“Whenever I have been fit at United I was playing in the first team all the time. People talk about my injuries, but I’ve only had one this season.
“I’ve seen too many players quit early. Most of them regret this soon after. I’ve seen those players in the national team and at my own clubs. Even big legends have regretted their retirement. Look at Paul Scholes.
“He did quit the game but he kept training and was missing football so much, because he knew he was still capable of playing at that level.”

Manchester United keen on signing striker Harry Kane

Harry Kane: Manchester United are interested in signing the Tottenham striker

Harry Kane: Manchester United are interested in signing the Tottenham striker

Manchester United are interested in signing Tottenham striker Harry Kane this summer, according to Sky sources.

United are in the market for a new striker after electing not to buy Radamel Falcao while Robin van Persie's future at the club remains uncertain.

Kane took the Premier League by storm last season as he scored 21 goals and was voted the PFA Young Player of the Year.

Sky Sports News HQ reporter James Cooper was told Kane was not on United's radar last month but the Red Devils have now revised their stance on the Spurs forward.

"It is a search for a striker that now includes Harry Kane and that is interesting," said Cooper.

"Things have changed in the last three or four weeks. He wasn't on Manchester United's radar then but I think he is now.

"He is on the list of possible deals that Manchester United might be tempted into doing this summer.

"What Manchester United are doing is looking at all their options. There certainly has been no bid at the moment between Old Trafford and White Hart Lane and no real negotiations at all.

"But what has shifted is that Manchester United have interest in the player. He is under consideration by Louis van Gaal."

Speaking last month, the 21-year-old made it clear he intends to stay put and build on a breakthrough season under Mauricio Pochettino that saw him make his senior England debut.

"Spurs are a big club and I have a bright future here," Kane said. "I hope to continue scoring goals and doing well with the club."

Who is Roberto Firmino? :




Roberto Firmino: Expected to lead the line for Brazil in Chile

We take a closer look at Hoffenheim and Brazil forward Roberto Firmino as he is linked with a big money move to Manchester United...

Factfile

Name: Roberto Firmino

Age: 23

Position: Midfield/forward

Club: 1899 Hoffenheim

Nation: Brazil (Six appearances, three goals)

What’s his background?

Firmino may have to add more physicality to his game
  Firmino may have to add more physicality to his game

Plucked from the second tier of Brazilian football by Bundesliga mid-table entertainers Hoffenheim, the brace-clad teenager struggled to adapt to foreign climes initially, and it took three seasons for us to see the best of this precocious talent, but it was worth the wait.

Since the start of the 2013-14, Firmino has weighed in with 23 goals and 21 assists in the German top flight, and has attracted interested from several of Europe’s elite clubs, as well as being on Louis van Gaal’s radar.

He was a stand-out performer for Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga this season as he scored seven goals and assisted a further 10 - a total bettered only by Manchester City target Kevin De Bruyne and Werder Bremen's Zlatko Junuzovic.

The 23-year-old has also excelled on the international stage already. As Brazil have looked to bounce back for the Mineirao Massacre at the hands of eventual World Cup champions Germany one year ago, Firmino has offered returning coach Dunga a new lease of life.

Currently in Chile with the Brazil squad at the Copa America, Firmino has been deployed as a false nine by Dunga and has shone in the role - scoring three goals and registering an assist in two starts and four substitute appearances - including the winner in a nonchalant performance in Brazil’s recent victory over Honduras.

What is his style?

Firmino's ambidextrous talents have helped developed his adaptability. Leading the line as a detached striker has been a regular position for his club as well as country, but he is naturally a No 10, while wide forward or even deeper in midfield can also bring out the best in him.

Pace, flamboyance and speed of thought are a given for any fleet-footed boy from Brazil, but it is the 23-year-old’s work-rate that could quickly endear Firmino to the Old Trafford faithful, as well as United’s hard-to-please chieftain.

Confidence is not lacking in his game either, as his 25-yard goal on his full debut from Brazil exemplified. Premier League defences could be in for a rough ride.

Where will he fit at Old Trafford?

Adnan Januzaj: On his way out of Old Trafford?
Adnan Januzaj: On his way out of Old Trafford?

“They are stuffed full of attacking midfielders. They have got the likes of Angel di Maria, Adnan Januzaj and Juan Mata in that role and I think their priorities do lie elsewhere,” Sky Sports News HQ reporter James Cooper said in response to reports a fee had been agreed for Firmino.

But what separates Firmino from the aforementioned trio is the Brazilian’s ability to play as the man furthest forward – with the air of a man who feels comfortable in doing so.

Also, Firmino’s arrival could allow Van Gaal to have the reshuffle many feel he needs. Januzaj looks likely to be made available, even if only temporarily, while Robin van Persie could join Radamel Falcao in seeking pastures new.

What happens now?

Memphis Depay poses with Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal.
Memphis Depay poses with Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal.

Modest fees of £13m or more recently £21.6m have been mentioned, but having paid just 4m euros for Firmino’s services from Figueirense in December 2010, any sale will accrue a hefty profit for Hoffenheim.

If no fee has yet been agreed, his stock could rise further by adding to his goal tally in Chile, as the man who “smelled of goals," as Dunga so eloquently proclaimed, could attract more interest by aiding a Brazilian renaissance.

With Memphis Depay already secured, Van Gaal could have the young, dynamic and workman-like forward line that he craves, and make United a real force to be reckoned with in 2015-16 – and if reports emanating from German are to be believed, that could happen sooner rather than later.

David de Gea urged to stay at Manchester United by Edwin van der Sar

8:57 PM 0 Comments


Edwin van der Sar wants Manchester United to keep David de Gea this summer.



Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar believes David de Gea should snub interest from Real Madrid and stay at Old Trafford.

The Spaniard currently has one year left on his contract and Real are expected to test United’s resolve with a bid for him in the coming weeks.

United remain keen to sign De Gea to a new contract but he is said to be tempted by a move back to the city where he grew up.

Van der Sar, who won four league titles and the Champions League with United before being replaced by De Gea in 2011, admits he can understand the lure of Real for the 24-year-old but advised him not to underestimate the status he has earned at United.


“He’s from Spain and he is from Madrid himself of course with Atletico so it would be a great challenge for him,” Van der Sar told Sky Sports News HQ.

“But he has massive support here after his performances over the last two years. He has been player of the year twice so he knows what he has here.

“I cannot look inside his head with his family situation and see what is important to him but there are a lot of possibilities here also at United.

“For the club it would be great. They are going to start preparing for the season in about two weeks so it would be great if that was covered.

“One way or another you need a proper goalkeeper for Manchester United to be between the posts. Whether it is David or Victor Valdes or a new signing, we will see.”

Former United defender Phil Neville coached De Gea during David Moyes’ ill-fated reign as manager of the club.

He is a huge fan of the player and would love to see him stay but feels the club need to address the situation quickly so they have enough time to secure a replacement if De Gea does join Madrid.

“I would love David de Gea to stay at this football club,” Neville told Sky Sports News HQ. “That would be just as big a signing as the new ones coming in.

“I think sometimes you have got to confront the issue. Is he going to go to Real Madrid or is he going to sign for Manchester United?

“Ultimately, if he joins Real Madrid then Manchester United need a goalkeeper of a similar calibre and there is not that many out there so hopefully he will stay.”


Phil Neville and Edwin van der Sar were representing Manchester United's Legends against Bayern Munich All Stars.

Van der Sar has plenty of experience of playing for United manager Louis van Gaal, having won the Champions League under him at Ajax and subsequently playing under him for the Netherlands, and he is confident Van Gaal will be able to cope if De Gea leaves.
“I’m sure Louis has a plan B and a plan C in mind otherwise he wouldn’t be a great manager,” Van der Sar said.
“With the success he has had at Ajax, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and the Dutch national team, I am sure he will be successful also here at United.”

Slovenia 2-3 England: Wayne Rooney's 48th international goal

8:41 PM 0 Comments


Wayne Rooney scored his 48th international goal as England came from behind to beat Slovenia 3-2 and maintain their perfect European qualifying record.
England’s captain hit an 85th-minute winner to move level with Gary Lineker and one behind Sir Bobby Charlton on England’s all-time leading goalscorer list and hand his country their first unbeaten season in 24 years.
But things had not gone quite to plan for England as Slovenia, just as at Wembley in November, took the lead thanks to Milivoje Novakovic’s 37th-minute strike.
England hauled themselves back into the contest after the break courtesy of a superb Jack Wilshere double strike – his first goals in international football.
However, they were pegged back by former Sheffield Wednesday striker Nejc Pecnik with just six minutes remaining but Rooney was on hand to seal all three points and put Roy Hodgson’s men on the brink of qualification for France 2016.
England started brightly in Ljubljana and they could have gone ahead in just the fourth minute as Raheem Sterling was played through on goal, but the Liverpool forward lifted his shot over the barJack Wilshere was happy with the character England showed to come back twice and beat Slovenia 3-2 to make it 6 wins from 6 in Group E qualification for Eu
Sterling, who put in a lacklustre display in the friendly against the Republic of Ireland last weekend, was in the thick of the action for the Three Lions as Rooney found him with superb curling outside of the boot pass, however, his low effort was deflected wide.
Hodgson’s men were pressing forward at every opportunity and they thought they’d gone ahead when Fabian Delph released Rooney into the penalty area. His shot was destined for the far corner but Samir Handanovic, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United, got down low to his left to tip the ball behind for a corner.
England were starting to turn the screw on Slovenia but one lapse in concentration cost Hodgson’s men as Chris Smalling and Gary Cahill got the offside trap all wrong, allowing Ilicic to slip the ball through to Novakovic, who had all the time in the world to pick his spot and beat Joe Hart for his 30th international goal
Adam Lallana revealed some words of patience from manager Roy Hodgson ensured England kept their calm to come from behind and win
Hodgson was forced into a change after the break as Phil Jones picked up an ankle injury and Adam Lallana was thrown on in central midfield with Jordan Henderson moving to right-back.
The visitors started the second 45 minutes in much the same vein as the first and their possession finally counted in the 57th minute when Wilshere powered his first international goal into the top corner with his left foot from the edge of the penalty area.
The turnaround was complete 16 minutes later as Wilshere picked out the same top corner with an even better left-footed strike to round off an excellent England move, involving superb inter-play between Andros Townsend, Henderson and Lallana.
Jack Wilshere: Fired his first international goal
England were in full control and seemed destined for all three points but again they were pegged back in the 84th minute when Pecnik rose above Kieran Gibbs at the far post to thunder a header into the bottom corner.
But minutes later Rooney stormed through on goal before sending Handanovic the wrong way to net the winner and complete an unbeaten season for England for the first time since the 1990-91 campaign.
England now have 18 points from a possible 18 in Euro 2016 qualifying and can seal qualification when they take on San Marino and Switzerland in a Group E double-header in September.

'Benitez knows he has to deliver trophies at Real Madrid' :Zidane

The Castilla coach admits the former Liverpool boss will be under pressure to perform and offered some words of support to Carlo Ancelotti
 Rafael Benitez

Zinedine Zidane says Rafael Benitez is under no illusions as to the task he faces as head coach of Real Madrid.
The former Liverpool and Valencia boss signed a three-year deal to replace the sacked Carlo Ancelotti after agreeing to end his spell with Napoli.
And Zidane, who currently coaches the Madrid Castilla side, says Benitez is well aware that he must deliver trophies if he is to survive at the Santiago Bernabeu.
"The club has selected Benitez and it's a good decision," he was quoted as saying by Marca. "You need to respect that decision. Benitez is a good choice, but what counts are results. He knows the place well. He knows the challenge he has ahead. Only winning titles is good enough."
Zidane, who was himself reported to be in the running for the head coach role, says he is happy to continue progressing with the Castilla side.
"I want to keep learning," said the former France star. "Then I'd like to manage in the top division. I'll progress bit by bit, as I did as a footballer. We'll see if it's here or somewhere else.

"I'm staying with Castilla because I want to carry on. We had a target and we didn't achieve it. I want to achieve it. It's been a good experience. It's a completely different job from working with the first team. We're looking to get promoted. I decided to stay because Real Madrid is an amazing place and I want to contribute something important to this club".

Zidane also defended club captain Iker Casillas and has no doubt the Madrid fans will give him the same sort of send-off as Xavi has enjoyed at Barcelona in future.
"Iker is still active and when he leaves Real Madrid he'll be honoured in the same way as Xavi was," he said.
Finally, the 42-year-old offered words of support for Ancelotti.

"The president didn't speak with me about it when he took the decision [to sack him]," he explained. "I like Ancelotti and that's why I spoke with him. He did an impressive job with Real Madrid, winning many titles. It was the club's decision."

Transfer value :'Hazard worth more than Ronaldo'

3:27 AM , 0 Comments

A CIES Football Observatory study into the transfer values of the world's leading footballers sees Lionel Messi top the charts, while Harry Kane places above Gareth Bale

Chelsea star Eden Hazard is worth more in transfer value than Cristiano Ronaldo, according to a study by CIES Football Observatory.

The report, which assesses the top 100 transfer values of players across the globe, claims that Hazard, named PFA Player of the Year for his outstanding performances for the Blues in their title winning season, has reached a figure of between €135.4 million and €148.9m.

That puts the Belgium international behind Lionel Messi, who is valued at a total of up to €280.8m, at the top of the pile, while Real Madrid sensation Ronaldo is in third, priced up at between €113.3m and €124.7m.



Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling, who has been strongly linked with an Anfield exit this summer, is also part of the top 10, but Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas misses out, featuring in 13th spot.

Harry Kane, who, as exclusively revealed by Goalis attracting interest from Manchester United, is also reflected favourably after a stellar season that saw him score 21 goals for Tottenham in the Premier League alone.

The Spurs forward, currently on international duty with Gareth Southgate's England Under-21 side, is in 15th, one place above Gareth Bale, and is valued by the report at a fee of up to €58.9m.

It's a dream come true' - Aleix Vidal


Aleix Vidal says signing for Barcelona  is a "dream come true" and insists he has no problem with having to wait until January to make his debut.
The winger, who spent one year in the Barca youth system as an 11-year-old, was unveiled to the media on Monday after joining from Sevilla.
However, Barca's transfer ban means they cannot complete registrations and field new players until January 2016, so he will have to wait months before he can play his first game.
The 25-year-old, who is expected to play as a full-back at Barca, says he is happy to take the time to adapt to his new surroundings as he prepares for his debut. 
"After the birth of my daughter, this is the most important day of my life. I'm back at what used to be my home. If it's the start of a winning cycle then so much the better.
"When I realised it was going to happen, I didn't think it would be a problem being out until January. Positives come with that - I can concentrate on getting ready for where I'm going to play.
"It was a very clear decision that I made to come to this club. The time out is going to be useful for me to improve specific elements of playing in a position that's still relatively new to me.
"I only played my first games at full-back last season, but it's up to the manager where I play."
Vidal, who played for Espanyol B, Gimnastic, Mallorca B and Almeria amongst others before joining Sevilla last season and winning the Europa League, admitted that he did not know he would be joining Luis Enrique's side until the day before his unveiling and hopes that Dani Alves will remain at the club.
"I've been focused now on playing with the national team but then this opportunity came up very quickly. It was only Sunday afternoon that I found out the two parties had decided and I had to get straight on a plane to come here.
"I've come back to what was my home for a year. Since I was very young, I had to move from club to club on my quest to become a pro. All those different experiences were useful though. 
"It hasn't really sunk in yet. This year I played eight or nine games as a full back and we didn't lose any of them. Including in the Europa League semi final, where I scored a goal.
"One of the keys to playing in a team like this is you're going to have lots of competition for places. If Dani stays, then it's wonderful, but it's not for me to comment. It would be great for him to stay here.
"I don't feel pressure about competing against one of the best full-backs in the world. I think it's a challenge. I'm relaxed. I know what I can do and contribute and if Alves stays, then the competition will be excellent for him and for me.
"It's not my position that I've always played in. I think there are certain things that can always be improved, but that's why it's nice that I've got months to work on those aspects of my game."
Despite winning a domestic and European treble, Luis Enrique says his future at Barca remains uncertain, but Vidal believes he will still be in charge when the new season comes around.
"I had an opportunity to speak to Luis Enrique after my medical. I assume he will be the manager next season. I don't think the speculation around it will be a problem for me.
