Davido is not the discreet type when it comes to his wealth and assets. The singer shared via his Snapchat that he earns $100,000 per week.

Manchester United are in need of a lift as they travel to Swansea, but must seek it without the presence of their manager Jose Mourinho on the touchline. Mourinho must watch from the stand at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday, having been given a one-match ban for confronting referee Mark Clattenburg at halftime during last weekend’s goalless draw with Burnley. These are not happy times for the United manager, who was fined £8 000 for that incident, and ordered to pay another £50 000 for comments made about another referee, Anthony Taylor, before the goalless draw at Liverpool on 17…

Jordan Henderson wants Liverpool to be remembered for winning trophies rather than as the Premier League’s great entertainers. Prior to this weekend’s round of matches, Liverpool were the league’s joint top-scorers on 24 goals in 10 games together with leaders Manchester City. But Liverpool captain Henderson said while the way Jurgen Klopp’s side played might appeal to supporters, there was a clearly defined strategy behind the Merseysiders’ approach. “The main priority for us is if we’re performing and playing the way we can then obviously it is entertaining football, it is high-intensity and everybody is going to enjoy watching us,”…

Buoyed by the return of Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur will look to arrest their current slump and improve their dismal record at the Emirates Stadium in Sunday’s derby against Arsenal. Though they remain the last unbeaten team in the Premier League, Tottenham have gone six games without victory in all competitions since their stunning 2-0 defeat of Manchester City a month ago. Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen left them in third place in their Champions League group and manager Mauricio Pochettino concedes that preparation for the 179th North London derby has not been ideal. “It’s true that we are…

After Arsenal closed out October by clinching yet another league win, beating Sunderland 4-1, Arsene Wenger offered a comment that opened up a bigger discussion than he realised. “We now have difficult games coming up, with a difficult November,” the Frenchman said. “So, by the end of November, we will know more about ourselves.” We will see whether his team has overcome a problem that has undercut them since he took the job 20 years ago. It is the problem of November. Arsenal have almost always found the month tough, regardless of who they face. The statistics are striking. For…

Zlatan Ibrahimovic really, really wanted to irritate Pep Guardiola and he could think of no better way than this. It was time to make a statement; time to do the most “un-Barcelona” thing he could think of, something symbolic from which there would be no way back. So he did. “I jumped in my Enzo [Ferrari], put my foot down on the gas and parked up right in front of the door of the training facility,” he recalled in his autobiography. It was some statement, alright: I am Zlatan… and I am not you. Zlatan had remembered how Guardiola had…

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says that the club may dip into the January transfer market due to Danny Ings’ season-ending knee injury and Sadio Mane’s absence at the African Nations Cup in the New Year. “We watch the market all the time and of course we need to be prepared for different situations and one of them is injuries,” Klopp said. “The African Cup of Nations we already knew about so we don’t need to be influenced or surprised by that, but it could be a moment when we approach the market.” Roberto Firmino, Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi give…

Former Manchester United manager David Moyes says that Jose Mourinho’s issues in the Old Trafford hotseat this season show how tough a job it is. Moyes was sacked after eight months in charge in 2013, having taken over from Sir Alex Ferguson, and Louis van Gaal did little better and left after two underwhelming seasons. But Mourinho’s record has been worse than either of his two predecessors and the current Sunderland boss believes it’s because of the pressure. “In some ways it does show that it maybe was not just down to Moyes,” Moyes was quoted as saying by The…

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has urged Jose Mourinho to “hang in there” amid criticism over his start to life at Old Trafford. Mourinho has won just eight of 16 matches so far and has started off worse than either predecessors David Moyes or Louis van Gaal, but Cantona insists that he must be patient. “I understand your frustration,” Cantona said in his role as ‘Football Commissioner’ for Eurosport. “The Special One [Mourinho], the Swedish One [Zlatan Ibrahimovic], the expensive one [Paul Pogba], the one with the hair transplant [Wayne Rooney]! All these ones they don’t make a whole yet.…

Leonardo Bonucci could add to Juventus’s injury woes in defence after being forced off with a thigh injury in a 1-1 Champions League draw with Lyon in Turin. Juventus face Chievo away on Sunday but Bonucci, who did not train on Thursday, is set to join fellow defender Giorgio Chiellini on the sidelines. He is set for tests later Thursday although reports claim he is a “major doubt” for Sunday’s league game. Chiellini’s absence had forced Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri to adopt a flat back four on Wednesday with Patrice Evra and Dani Alves reverting from their usual wing-back roles.…

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp stressed he would have the “final say” over which players were bought and sold at Anfield after the Merseysiders announced on Friday their newly-created post of sporting director. Michael Edwards, who previously held backroom roles as Liverpool’s head of analytics, director of technical performance and technical director has the new role. Many British-born managers have been uneasy at having someone who sits between them and the chief executive in the hierarchy of a club, with Klopp’s Liverpool predecessor Brendan Rodgers a case in point. Rodgers was not comfortable with the transfer committee in operation during his…

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte was adamant on Friday he had no cause for regret in failing to sign Romelu Lukaku, given he had a “complete player” at his disposal in rival striker Diego Costa. Brazil-born Spain international Costa tops the current Premier League scoring charts with eight goals, while Belgium’s Lukaku has found the back of the net seven times. The two forwards will be in direct opposition when Chelsea face Everton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Costa was not at his best last season and that led the Blues to consider re-signing Lukaku, a player they sold to Everton…

Embattled Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho launched a stirring defence of his misfiring Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Friday. The 35-year-old Swede has scored just once in 11 games after starting brilliantly for his new club — where he was reunited with Mourinho after they were together at Inter Milan — following a highly successful spell with Paris Saint Germain. Ibrahimovic, who made little impact in Thursday’s Europa League 2-1 defeat by Fenerbahce, except for grabbing an opponent’s throat, gets another chance to end his drought against Premier League strugglers Swansea on Sunday. United will hope so as they are…

Manchester United’s Spanish international midfielder Juan Mata said it is time for his team to play well rather than talk a good game, starting with Swansea on Sunday. The 28-year-old – United’s player of the month in a spell of poor results for them and manager Jose Mourinho including a 4-0 hammering by Chelsea – added the team needed to show character to arrest their dip in form. United go into the Swansea match on the back of Mourinho slamming their performance in the Europa League 2-1 defeat by Fenerbahce saying they played as if it was a “friendly”. “We…

Jurgen Klopp will hold talks with former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard after the 36-year-old midfielder appeared to announce his departure from the LA Galaxy at the end of the current Major League Soccer season. Gerrard’s comments are bound to fuel speculation that the highly popular Liverpudlian could return to play for the club he first represented 18 years ago and for whom he made over 500 appearances. Klopp has previously indicated that such a possibility would not be realistic for the veteran although, following Saturday’s 2-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion, the Liverpool manager declined to explain exactly what role…
