Merson explains why Gabriel Jesus injury return will ’cause problems’ for Arsenal

Premier League

Paul Merson has claimed the return of Gabriel Jesus will ’cause problems’ for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta. Jesus enjoyed an impressive first-half to the campaign after a £50m move from Manchester City last summer window.

Mbappe & Messi influence at PSG criticized by dressing room insider

Ligue 1, Premier League

Former Paris Saint-Germain player Pablo Sarabia has called the French club a team “of individuals” due to the influence of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar. Mbappe signed a three-year deal with the Ligue 1 champions last year, keeping him in the French club until 2025. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); That made the Frenchman the best-paid player in football (since eclipsed by Cristiano Ronaldo after Al-Nassr move) and came less than a year after they rejected a record transfer offer from Real Madrid for the striker. Before that new deal, Messi was the best-paid player in the world. His first year in Paris saw him take home an annual salary of £25.5m (€30m), although this increased to £34m (€40m) for the current and last year of his two-year deal...

Premier League, La Liga, UEFA, World Cup 2022

Eden Hazard concedes even he questioned why he started for Belgium at the World Cup in Qatar ahead of Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard. Hazard announced his retirement from international football after Belgium’s disappointing campaign at the World Cup. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Despite his lack of playing time for Real Madrid, Hazard started Belgium’s first two group matches at the World Cup as his team scraped a 1-0 win over Canada before losing to Morocco. He was dropped for Belgium’s last game in Group F – a goalless draw against Croatia which sealed their elimination – while Trossard was given his first start of the tournament.
