Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang insists he is happy at Borussia Dortmund and envisages his long-term future being with the club.

The 27-year-old penned a contract extension running until 2020 in July despite being linked to the likes of Manchester City and Real Madrid – doing much to fuel speculation over a move to the latter club himself.

He has been in prolific form this season and scored the winner against rivals Bayern Munich in Der Klassiker last Saturday, moving to 12 goals in 10 Bundesliga games.

Gabon international Aubameyang thrilled Signal Iduna Park and the 25,000-strong Yellow Wall on the stadium s Sudtribune by sinking Bayern and he cited Dortmund s passionate support as a factor in his present satisfaction.

The fans of BVB are really incredible…

Jurgen Klopp hinted he could remain at Liverpool beyond 2024 if he has the energy required. 

Speaking ahead of Wednesday s FA Cup victory over Norwich City, Klopp said he was unsure whether he would extend his contract at Anfield. The German s deal is due to expire at the conclusion of the 2023-24 season. 

The 54-year-old has won five trophies – including Premier League and Champions League titles – during his six and a half years on Merseyside, and on Friday he said it was still his intention to see out his deal. 

However, he believes it is more important that the club is positioned to continue challenging for multiple honours even if he is no longer at the club. 

Jürgen Klopp discussed the importance of strength in depth and the challenge West …

Morocco coach Walid Regragui has no special tactical plan to stop France s star forward Kylian Mbappe.

The Atlas Lions are the underdog success story of the World Cup, having beat Belgium, Spain and Portugal en route to becoming the first African team to reach a semi-final in the tournament s history.

France, on the other hand, lost their last meeting with an African side – against Tunisia in the group stage in Qatar – but are aiming to reach the final for a second successive World Cup after their triumph in 2018.

Mbappe has been their driving force, scoring five goals and setting up a further two. No other player in the competition has contributed to as many goals as the 23-year-old, who is the tournament s top scorer.

Trying to stop Mbappe will be h…

Erik ten Hag should be given another season by the new regime at Manchester United after masterminding their FA Cup triumph, says former Red Devils striker Dwight Yorke.

Ten Hag s future was subject to speculation throughout a largely dismal season for United, who recorded their lowest ever Premier League finish of eighth.

They also exited the Champions League in the group stage, losing 19 matches and conceding 85 goals across all competitions.

However, they finished an underwhelming campaign on a high note on Saturday, with Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo scoring in a shock 2-1 FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.

Yorke says Ten Hag deserves credit for the way he set United up at Wembley Stadium, as the Red Devils edged City for expected goal…

Danny Ings stoppage-time strike rescued a point for West Ham as they drew 1-1 with Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Ings cancelled out Raul Jimenez s first-half goal as local bragging rights were shared in this London derby.

Fulham should have broken the deadlock in the 23rd minute, but Adama Traore headed Alex Iwobi s inviting cross wide from six yards out.

But the hosts were not to be denied just 60 seconds later. Smith Rowe beat the offside trap to latch onto Andreas Pereira s throughball, before crossing for Jimenez to tuck away.

West Ham went close to equalising on the hour mark when Jarrod Bowen brilliantly controlled Mohammed Kudus cross, but was thwarted by Bernd Leno s smart reflex save.

The Hammers looked set to leave the Cottage empty-handed u…

Burnley put their Premier League troubles to one side as they breezed into the last 16 of the Carabao Cup with a 4-0 demolition of Sky Bet League Two strugglers Salford.

Winless in their first five games back in the top flight, Vincent Kompany’s side are enjoying better fortunes in this competition and followed up last month’s victory at Nottingham Forest with a one-sided win over Salford, suffering near the foot of League Two but boasting Cup wins over Leeds and Preston.

Anass Zaroury had a hand in all four goals as Sander Berge, Jacob Bruun Larsen and Dara O’Shea put the result beyond doubt inside the opening half an hour before Wilson Odobert marked his full debut with a late fourth. For all four Burnley scorers, it was their first goal for the club.

Phil Foden’s stunning hat-trick against Aston Villa stirred up memories of a young Wayne Rooney as the Manchester City midfielder continues to impress this season.

The 23-year-old starred on Wednesday night, restoring City’s lead just before half-time with a free-kick and adding a second in the 62nd minute before completing his treble shortly after.

His performance drew comparisons with Rooney post-match, with TNT Sports host Laura Woods saying: “The third goal, especially. We were chatting about this a second ago, Rio (Ferdinand) was saying it was almost like your Wayne Rooney moment, that something doesn’t go right, you get angry, and you bang in a goal.”

Foden replied: “You know it’s funny you said that because as I was celebrating I was walking …

Angel Correa was the hero for Atletico Madrid as he scored the only goal of the game in stoppage time to earn three points away to Athletic Bilbao on Saturday.

The two sides put on an entertaining spectacle, despite the lack of goals, with neither showing the clinical edge required to take the lead.

That was until the second minute of added time, when Correa finished a flowing transition to win the match for Atleti.

Alexander Sorloth won the ball on the halfway line for the visitors, having nicked it from defender Inigo Lekue, and laid it on for Correa.

The Argentina international rounded the goalkeeper and stroked the ball into an empty goal.

The victory means Atletico Madrid climb to second in the LaLiga table, keeping the pressure on leaders Ba…

Borussia Monchengladbach will have their sights set on securing their inaugural Bundesliga victory of the season as they welcome Bayern Munich to the Borussia-Park on Saturday. On the other hand, the visitors have the opportunity to head into the international break with a flawless record, having emerged victorious in their initial two matches.

Borussia Monchengladbach

With the departure of their former head coach Daniel Farke to Leeds United over the summer, Borussia Monchengladbach is embarking on a new chapter under their newly appointed manager Gerardo Seoane. Seoane was let go by Bayer Leverkusen in October of the previous year.

Despite his struggles at Leverkusen, the 44-year-old arrived in Germany with a solid reputation…

Market: Real Betis win

Odds: 10/11 @

Looking to secured back-to-back La Liga victories on Wednesday evening, Real Betis will welcome Getafe to the Estadio Benito Villamarin.

Starting with the hosts, while some in Real Betis’ camp might have been left frustrated last season by the way that they ended the 2023/24 campaign, they did secure another top-seven finish. Marking their return from September’s international break with a routine 2-0 victory at home against Leganes over the weekend, the former Manchester City boss will be calling on his squad to use that performance as a platform to build on. Officially booking a Europa Conference League group stage ticket last month as they stormed their way to a 5-0 aggregate win against Ukrainian outfit Kryvbas, Betis…
