Milan have agreed a deal to sign striker Carlos Bacca from Sevilla subject to a medical set to take place in the next few days.
Bacca had been linked with a move to Premier League side Liverpool as well as Milan, but it is the Serie A club who have secured his signature.
Signed from Club Brugge in July 2013, Bacca has enjoyed great success in his time with Sevilla, helping them to successive UEFA Europa League titles.
Bacca netted 49 goals in all competitions in two seasons with Sevilla and will look to have a similar impact for a Milan side eyeing a resurgence under Sinisa Mihajlovic.
Milan only managed to finish 10th in Serie A last season, some 35 points behind champions Juventus.
However, this week has been a statement of intent from the club,…
Tottenham midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson believes the club will face a challenge in Coventry when the two sides meet in the FA Cup third round.
The fixture will conjure happy memories for the Sky Blues, who shocked Spurs to win the FA Cup in the 1987 final, and manager Mark Robins will be hoping to spring another surprise when he takes his League One team to White Hart Lane on Saturday.
But Tottenham s Iceland international has previous knowledge of giant killings in the tournament as he helped Reading, who were then in the Championship, to overcome Liverpool and West Brom on the way to the quarter-finals in 2010.
It s a great occasion for them, Sigurdsson told Spurs official website.
They come up against a top Premier League side and they will come here,…
Cristiano Ronaldo says Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane was the catalyst for one of the best seasons of his career in 2015-16.
Zidane replaced the sacked Rafael Benitez at the Santiago Bernabeu in January and led the club to their 11th Champions League trophy.
Ronaldo ended last season with 51 goals – including 16 in the Champions League – and went on to win Euro 2016 with Portugal.
The forward is now the odds-on favourite to win the Ballon d Or having been included in the 30-man shortlist for the award and he credits Zidane for much of that, hailing his ability to boost the squad s morale within a short space of time.
Asked who had been the best boss when it came to lifting the dressing room, Ronaldo told Coach Magazine: Zinedine Zidane was a per…
Liverpool striker Danny Ings will miss the rest of this season due to knee cartilage surgery, the Premier League club have confirmed
Ings sustained the injury to his right knee during last week s 2-1 EFL Cup fourth-round victory over Tottenham.
The 24-year-old will go under the knife in London on Wednesday and is likely to be sidelined for between seven to nine months.
It is the latest serious knee injury to dog the former Burnley forward, who had his 2015-16 campaign ended last October when he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in training.
The Tottenham match was Ings second appearance this term having also featured as a substitute against Derby County in the previous round.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: To say we are gutted wo…
Market: Borussia Dortmund win
Odds: 4/11 @
Getting their Champions League run underway on Tuesday evening, Borussia Dortmund will welcome Copenhagen to the Westfalenstadion.
Starting with the hosts, while Borussia Dortmund might have been left stunned by that remarkable 3-2 defeat against Werder Bremen last month, the German giants have managed to prove that was just a minor blip. Appearing to be enjoying life under returning boss Edin Terzić, Die Borussen have enjoyed a largely impressive start to the 2022/23 campaign. Last seen over the weekend picking up a 1-0 victory against Hoffenheim on home soil, only their goal difference keeps them off top spot in the Bundesliga. With attacking icon and German international Marcos Reus enjoying a recent purple patch, B…
Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota both scored twice as Liverpool returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 6-1 hammering of Leeds United on Monday.
Jurgen Klopp s side had not tasted victory in any competition since the March 5 thrashing of Manchester United but ended a five-game winless streak at their relegation-threatened hosts.
Liverpool took control through a quickfire first-half double from Cody Gakpo and Salah, although Luis Sinisterra pulled one back two minutes into the second half at Elland Road.
There was to be no dramatic turnaround as a Jota brace, either side of Salah s second, made sure of three points that moved the Reds to within six of Europa League qualification, before Darwin Nunez completed the scoring off the bench.

Joe Hart has suffered a dip in form this season, but does he still deserve to be undisputed England number one?
England’s first choice keeper Joe Hart has welcomed West Brom stopper Ben Foster back into the international fold.
The former-United keeper has came out of international retirement for the World Cup qualifier double header with San Marino and Montenegro.
Manchester City keeper Hart has been undisputed number one for the Three Lions for the last past couple of years. However, should he still be England first choice keeper?
Welcome
Hart told Sky Sports: It s great to see Ben. He is a consistent performer, someone I get on well with.
It s good to have keepers like that around. There are three top quality keepers here plus Jack B…
Boca Juniors veteran playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme has insisted he will not don the colours of Argentina again as long as Diego Maradona is coach.
As long as Maradona is coach I will not return to the national side we are not on the same wavelength, Riquelme told Argentine television.
It s clear we cannot work together, the 30-year-old insisted.
The national side is over for me I say that very clearly. I learned from the radio that I was not going to play against France (a February 11 friendly with the South Americans won 2-0 in Marseille). I have principles and they are not those of the coach, Riquelme complained.
It s a shame to know I will miss the World Cup in South Africa in 2010 and I wish the team all the best. If I go things would not be easy…

Christanval a centre-back for Barca at the time revealed the Dutchman broke down when giving the players the news.
He came into the dressing room after hearing the news, started to talk, and all of a sudden began crying like a baby, Christanval told SRF.

After leaving Barcelona, Van Gaal rebuilt his reputation by leading AZ to the Eredivisie title, before coaching Bayern Munich and Netherlands, who he led to the semi-…
