Ederson has confirmed he will stay at Manchester City for the upcoming season amid interest from Saudi Arabia, having held productive talks with boss Pep Guardiola.
Ederson has become a fan favourite at the Etihad Stadium since arriving from Benfica in 2017, winning six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four EFL Cups and the Champions League.
However, the Brazil shot-stopper has seen his future called into question throughout the off-season, with Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal both linked with a big-money move for him.
Ederson said last month he had yet to make a decision on his future, but that has changed after talks with Guardiola and others in the City hierarchy.
The 30-year-old has now committed his future to the club, telling ESPN Brazil after Saturday s…
Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye has signed a new four-year contract at Goodison Park.
Gueye has been a key contributor for Everton since joining from Aston Villa in 2016, and has started 24 Premier League games this season.
The 28-year-old Senegal international had been linked with a move to Chelsea last August before the Premier League champions bought Danny Drinkwater from Leicester City.
But Gueye who has made more tackles than any other Premier League player since he moved to Goodison Park has now committed his future to Everton until 2022.
Everton is the right place for me and this is why I have signed my new deal, Gueye told Everton s website.
I am very happy to sign a new contract with Everton. It is great for me and for the club and I…
RB Leipzig have confirmed Julian Nagelsmann will take over as their coach in 2019, following Bundesliga rivals Hoffenheim s announcement he will leave them at the end of the coming season.

Hoffenheim tied him to a new four-year deal in 2017, but confirmed on Thursday that 2018-19 would be Nagelsmann s last campaign at the club.
The 30-year-old had been linked with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich prior to their appointment of Niko Kovac, while Arsenal and Real Madrid were also connected with him, but it is Leipzig who have secured his signature.
Nagelsmann has penned a contract keeping him at the Red Bull Arena until 202…

The 2012-13 A-League season will feature a fully revamped finals series, while there will be football on Good Friday for the first time.
Football Federation Australia has opted to alter the structure of the finals series, shortening the playoff part of the campaign by a week.
It will now become a straight knockout cup style format with the first- and second-placed teams given a week off, while third plays sixth and fourth plays fifth.

The highest-ranked winner of the semi-finals will go on to host the A-League Grand Final.
It was clear from the feedback from fans, media, broadcasters and clubs that the…
Cristiano Ronaldo has insisted dethroned European champions Portugal will return stronger following their defeat to Belgium.
Portugal s title defence was ended by a Thorgan Hazard strike on Sunday as Fernando Santos side fell to a 1-0 loss in the last-16 tie.
The Selecao won just one of their four Euro 2020 matches, which is their fewest in a single European Championship tournament since their first appearance in 1984 (also one win).
The 23 shots recorded by Portugal against Belgium is the highest tally for a team at Euro 2020 without scoring, with Ronaldo responsible for four of those attempts.
Despite his side s disappointing exit in the first knockout round, Juventus star Ronaldo is proud of his team-mates and is predicting a bright future for the Eu…
England defeated Euro 2012 co-host Ukraine 1-0 last night to set-up a quarter-final meeting with Italy on Sunday evening.
Wayne Rooney s goal was enough to secure victory for the Three Lions.
It may not have been England’s best performance at a major competition but victory was enough to win them group D.
Solid
It was typical display by a Roy Hodgson team. The team produced a solid display and managed to come into the game a bit more in the second half.
England looked organised and hard to break down and that’s the sort of teams Roy Hodgson produces.
Lucky
I have to say to say that England was slightly lucky in victory but they earned their luck through hard work. The Ukrainians will be feel that they should have been awarded …

Inter were champions last term, ending Juventus run of nine straight Scudetti, but they have not been able to keep their title-winning side together.

Simon Mignolet says Liverpool have a better chance to win the Premier League title than they did under Brendan Rodgers because the Reds are not reliant on one player.
Liverpool came agonisingly close to adding to their 18 top-flight titles when they finished two points adrift of Manchester City under Rodgers stewardship in the 2013-14 season.
In that campaign, Luis Suarez was the spearhead of Liverpool s attack with the Uruguay forward scoring 31 Premier League goals in a brilliant campaign before leaving for Barcelona.
Goalkeeper Mignolet concedes that Liverpool relied on Suarez to make the difference that season, but does not believe that is the case with the current crop under Jurgen Klopp.
We were challenging for the title but it was a totally differ…
