Burnley could be set to sell Tom Heaton within the next six months, according to the Mail Online.
The Clarets signed Joe Hart from Manchester City earlier this week following a goalkeeping injury crisis, with both Heaton and Nick Pope on the sidelines.
That means that Sean Dyche has three England international goalkeepers on his books, with one looking likely to make way before too long.
Former Manchester United youth player Heaton looks the most likely to be sold having lost his place to Pope last term after picking up a shoulder injury last September.
Heaton moved to Turf Moor in the summer of 2013 and has since racked up one hundred and seventy-eight appearances for the club and was part of the squad that achieved promotion to the top flight in bo…
Robert Lewandowski is hopeful of landing a first Ballon d Or, citing his remarkable achievements over the past two years.
Lewandowski was in incredible form as Bayern Munich won a treble in 2019-20, but the award was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the 33-year-old has maintained his incredible standards and was named on the 30-man shortlist for this year s prize.
Last season, the centre-forward broke Gerd Muller s long-standing record of Bundesliga goals in a single season, netting 41 times in the league and scoring seven more across all other club competitions, the most of any player in Europe s top five leagues.
Lewandowski has not surrendered that position this season, with his 13 strikes in all competitions lifting him above second and …
Athletic Bilbao are interested in signing Aymeric Laporte from Manchester City in the summer of 2022, according to . Laporte has fallen down the pecking order at deeding Premier League champions City, and La Liga club Bilbao want to bring back the 27-year-old.
Laporte joined City from Bilbao in the summer of 2018. The Spain international central defender has won the Premier League thrice, the FA Cup once, and the EFL Cup on three occasions with the Citizens. The City no.14 has scored one goal in five Premier League appearances so far this season. During the 2020-21 campaign, the defender made 14 starts and two substitute appearances in the league.
Bilbao are an established club in La Liga, but they do not challenge for the La Liga title or play in the Champions League o…
Eric Bailly has warned Manchester United he will only remain at Old Trafford as long as he is a first-team regular, despite last month signing a contract extension.
The centre-back s new deal keeps him at United until 2024, when his previous contract had been set to expire at the end of next season.
But Bailly suggests that agreement will count for little if he remains on the fringes of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s team.
The ex-Villarreal defender, who hopes to face his former club in Wednesday s Europa League final, has featured in only 20 (33.3 per cent) of United s 60 games in all competitions so far this season, ranking 19th in the Red Devils squad.
And that mark is roughly par for Bailly s United career, having appeared in only 105 (35.7 per cent) and star…
Group H leaders Barcelona moved a step closer to reaching the Champions League knockout stages after a 2-1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk.
Barca made it three wins from as many matches through goals from Ferran Torres and Fermin Lopez before they held on in the second half after Heorhiy Sudakov’s 62nd-minute strike.
Xavi’s men produced moments of quality with a rotated side ahead of Saturday’s El Clasico against Real Madrid at Nou Camp in LaLiga.

Barca nearly had a dream start after seven minutes. Oriol Romeu’s high press forced the turnover in Shakhtar’s box which allowed Lopez to jink inside and shoot, but the midfielder’s effort was kept out by Dmytro Riznyk.
Barca’s…
Hwang Hee-chan’s seventh goal of the season earned Wolves a point as they twice came from behind in a 2-2 draw at home against Newcastle.
Callum Wilson scored a first-half brace for the visitors, including a controversial penalty, to move on to seven goals from just nine Premier League appearances but it was not enough against a determined Wolves side who seemed to take inspiration from a sense of injustice in a feisty second half.
Wilson, starting in place of the injured Alexander Isak, acrobatically capitalised on a Jose Sa error to put Newcastle in front 22 minutes in but Mario Lemina, back in the Wolves side after suspension, headed the hosts level with his first goal in old gold 14 minutes later.
Wolves then fumed when Anthony Taylor pointed to the post on…

Son Heung-min feels responsible for Antonio Conte s Tottenham exit because of his indifferent form on the pitch.
Conte left Spurs on Sunday following a week of intense speculation suggesting his days were numbered after an underwhelming run of form.
The final straw proved to be the 3-3 draw at Southampton – during which Spurs led 3-1 before a late collapse – and Conte s remarkable post-match tirade, which saw him blast his players as selfish .
Conte also appeared to aim criticism at the club s hierarchy during his rant but reportedly clarified to bosses a few days later that all comments were targeted at the players.
Nevertheless, his employers seemingly decided the relationship between Conte and the club had reached breaking point, with a divorce by …

According to the report, Burnley scouts have been impressed with the 20-year-old, and manager Sean Dyche has been urged to make a move for the talented and promising young defender when the window opens in January.

Simakan has been on the books of Strasbourg since 2017 and has established himself as an important player for the French club. According to , the Frenchman has playe…
It is a match which has been forgotten by many due to the historic and unlikely nature of Barcelona s 6-1 triumph in the second leg, but a little over a year ago, Paris Saint-Germain thumped the Catalans 4-0 in the Parc des Princes.
Although their collapse in the second leg of that round-of-16 tie overshadowed the win at home, PSG s triumph over Barca in Paris might just provide them with the inspiration they need as they look to defy adversity and pull off a comeback of their own.
The Ligue 1 pacesetters host Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday, seeking to overturn a 3-1 deficit without their star player and talisman, Neymar.
The fractured foot suffered by Neymar against Marseille on February 25 could well keep him out for the rest of the season, but,…
