Chelsea returns to the top four with a win over Tottenham, thanks to an Enzo Fernandez header.

Chelsea returned to the Premier League's top four after beating Tottenham 1-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to Enzo Fernandez's header early in the second half. Enzo Maresca's team was under pressure after limping into the international break playing football that had lost its appeal to home fans, but they mainly outperformed a dismal Spurs team that failed to capitalise on the rising anger surrounding the home side. As when these clubs met in north London last season, VAR played an important part, ruling out goals from Moises Caicedo and Pape Sarr after halftime, but Chelsea deserved the points as their Champions League campaign resumed. They had started with significantly more zest than in previous lackluster performances. Nicolas Jackson's return to the team was denied one-on-one by goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario in the first minute, followed by Micky van de Ven's errant clearance ricocheting off him and against the post, before Malo Gusto rifled Marc Cucurella...

Despite Jesus' blow, Arsenal is willing to spend €100 million to sign a 32-goal striker this month.


After losing Gabriel Jesus to a permanent injury, Arsenal may try to recruit Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyokeres during the current January transfer window, according to French publication L'equipe.

After suffering a probable anterior cruciate ligament injury last weekend, the Brazilian may miss the remainder of the 2024–25 season. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is looking for a replacement because Bukayo Saka is also sidelined until further notice.

Despite his €100 million release clause, Gyokeres has been on Arsenal's radar for some time, and the North Londoners may contemplate a bid for him.

After paying a comparable sum on England international midfielder Declan Rice, the Gunners are no longer hesitant to pay this much for a striker.

Arsenal could use a striker like the 26-year-old Swedish international, who has already scored 32 goals in 30 games this season across all competitions.

Gyokeres has what it takes to lead the Gunners to the next level, and while acquiring Alexander Isak, a striker for Newcastle United, in January is unlikely, acquiring the Sporting star might be doable.


Activating his €100m release clause could get the job done, and Arsenal fans will hope the club can successfully obtain the services of such a striker.

They should not be afraid to spend a lot of money on him since he could make the difference for them in the title race this term and in the future.

After missing out on a chance with Brighton & Hove Albion, Gyokeres has a lot to prove in the Premier League. However, he has since proven his abilities in the top division of Portugal, and he might be interested in returning to England.

Although he has many suitors in the English Premier League and throughout Europe, the majority of them are holding off on moving until the summer, thus Arsenal has an opportunity to outshine them by pursuing him this month.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
