Wolfsburg have completed the signing of Cologne midfielder Yannick Gerhardt on a five-year contract.
The 22-year-old established himself in Cologne s first-team in 2015-16, making 29 Bundesliga as Peter Stoger s side finished ninth on 43 points – one place and two points below Wolfsburg.
Gerhardt made his Under-21 debut for Germany last season, and Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs is delighted to have captured his signature.
Yannick is a young player with great potential, Allofs told the club s official website.
He has already demonstrated with Cologne he has the quality to set the tone in the Bundesliga. We are pleased that we were able to convince a player of his talent our way.
Gerhardt is looking forward to the new challenge at …
According to a recent report from Corriere dello Sport, Juventus’ sporting director Fabio Paratici is preparing to step up his efforts of signing Tanguy Ndombele. The 22 year old is in high demand and has been for quite some time now, and despite only joining French club Lyon back in 2018, he’s already being linked with a move away. Ndombele is one of the most exciting young midfielders in world football today so it should come as no surprise that teams like Juve are interested in him, but the question remains as to whether or not he’d be able to break into the first team setup in Turin.
Despite crashing out of the Champions League, Juventus are still widely considered to be one of the best clubs in world football right now. With Ndombele being such a highly rated prospec…
that Chelsea have made a £63.5m bid for Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos.
The reigning Premier League champions, who recently named Antonio Conte as their new manager are ready to smash the British transfer record for the Spain international as they look to rebuild after a dissapointing 2015/16 campaign.
The thirty year old has been at the Bernabeu for the past eleven seasons and he is closing in on five hundred appearnces for the club in all competitions, scoring fifty-seven goals.
Ramos would be seen as the ideal replacement for either Branislav Ivanovic or captain John Terry, both linked with Stamford Bridge exits this summer.
The proposed fee is far superior to what the Blues paid for fellow Spaniard Fernando Torres and is also higher than the…
We know it’s an unusual question but the answer to it is quite simple as we’ve all seen weirder things happen in life.
Still, in that beautiful world of school football – shooting once and scoring twice is considered a sort of a miracle!
Just have a look at this video below where a boy prepares to take an obviously decisive penalty shot when he drives the ball in the back of the net and sends his boot flying towards the basket.
It’s not difficult to guess what happened next.
Fantastic stuff.
Scoring twice with one shot.

Ivory Coast striker Gervinho says winning the African Cup of Nations is team-mate Didier Drogba s last goal in football.
The former Chelsea forward won the 2011/12 Champions League with his final kick of the ball for the west London club, before moving to China to join Nicolas Anelka at Shanghai Shenhua.
However, one trophy that still evades Drogba is the African showpiece, having reached the tournament final twice previously in 2006 and 2012.
And Gervinho says lifting the AFCON trophy is the only thing left for Drogba to accomplish before calling time on an illustrious career.
(AFCON is) the only thing left he wants to get for the Ivory Coast because he has brought us so much already, the Arsenal striker told Goal.com.
That s the one last ob…
AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not interested in joining Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain, despite the French club s strong interest.
The capital side are keen to strengthen their squad after missing out on the Ligue 1 title in 2011-12, and have already been linked with both Alexandre Pato and Ezequiel Lavezzi.
The Brazilian has been a target for the club since the start of the year, while the Napoli attacker has reportedly turned down interest from Inter in favour of a move to the Parc des Princes.
However, Aftonbladet claimed today that former Ajax and Barcelona star Ibrahimovic is also a target for Carlo Ancelotti and his sporting director Leonardo.
The Swedish paper quoted unnamed sources at PSG, who confirmed contact between club and playe…
After watching both and Raphinha turn down the chance to move to Stamford Bridge in favour of a switch to Barcelona, it is no secret that Chelsea are still on the hunt this summer.
While Kalidou Koulibaly and England international Raheem Sterling have arrived in west London on permanent deals, Thomas Tuchel has been vocal about a need to further add to his squad.
Opening the 2022/23 Premier League campaign this weekend when they make the trip to Everton, Chelsea could be in for a hectic few days both in terms of arrivals and departures.
With Todd Boehly taking charge at Stamford Bridge back in June, the American businessman has made it clear that there is money to be spent this summer.
So, we have taken a look at who could be on their way in and out of …
Lionel Messi had a record seven shots on target without scoring in Barcelona s 3-0 Champions League defeat to Juventus, which Antoine Griezmann acknowledged must be a wake-up call.
Messi was heavily involved as Barca attempted to mount a comeback on Tuesday after conceding twice in the first 20 minutes of a Champions League home match for the first time.
The superstar captain had more touches (125) and contested more duels (19) than any other player on the Camp Nou pitch.
Messi also sent in 11 shots, seven of which hit the target, but he could not beat veteran Juve goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, whose shirt the former took away at full-time.
Instead it was old rival Cristiano Ronaldo who carried his side to the top of Champions League Group G, scoring two p…
Following days of speculation, West Brom have signed winger Callum McManaman from Championship strugglers Wigan Athletic.
Winger Callum McManaman has become Tony Pulis first signing as West Brom head coach after finalising his move from Wigan Athletic for an undisclosed fee.
McManaman has put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half-year deal and joins an Albion side rejuvenated under the guidance of Pulis, who took charge at the start of the month.
The 23-year-old made 109 appearances in total for Wigan, helping the Lancashire club win the FA Cup in 2013 following a stunning Wembley upset against Manchester City.
I m really made up to have joined, said McManaman.
When the chance came to move to West Bromwich Albion, and return to the Premie…
Following calls for Barcelona to face trial over issues surrounding the signing of Neymar, Josep Maria Bartomeu has hit back.
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has hit back after Spanish prosecutors called for the club to face trial over alleged tax fraud surrounding the signing of Neymar in 2013.
According to Spanish newspaper AS, a petition was raised against the club, former president Sandro Rosell and his successor Josep Maria Bartomeu.
The acquisition of Neymar has been under the spotlight over the past 12 months after his move from Santos prior to the 2013-14 campaign, a deal estimated to be worth in the region of €57million although some claims suggested it was closer to €95m.
The furore led to Rosell leaving his post and Bartomeu s…
