Felipe Anderson not for sale

Felipe Anderson will not be leaving West Ham United this summer, according to Sky Sports and their sources.

Anderson arrived to the London Stadium in 2018 for club transfer record of £35 million, and he has adapted to the challenges of the Premier League very well, scoring nine goals and laying on five assists in 36 games he has played in all competitions this season. His form has  sparked the interest of Real Madrid.

The Champions League holders are looking to sign Eden Hazard first and foremost, but should they fail in their attempt to land the Belgian, Anderson would be a decent alternative in their eyes.

I want to do other things before I die! – No plans for Pep to match Hodgson´s longevity

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola believes it would be impossible for him to emulate Crystal Palace counterpart Roy Hodgson and remain in football management until the age of 71.

Hodgson and Palace play host to Guardiola s men on Sunday, a little over two hours before Premier League leaders Liverpool welcome Chelsea to Anfield.

The race for the 2018-19 title looks set to go down to the wire and the reigning champions will be wary ahead of their visit to Selhurst Park, having lost 3-2 at home to Palace prior to Christmas.

Hodgson has since become the oldest man to manage a team in a Premier League fixture, but Guardiola has no desire to remain in the game anywhere near as long as the former England boss.

In my case? No way. It s impossible. Roy Hodgso…

The 30-year-old hit back at claims he is only going to France as a mascot , and believes he can play a big part in Germany s push for a first European Championship in 20 years.

I m not going as a mascot as some people have described it, Podolski said. 

I find it shows a total lack of respect. I ve got over 100 caps. To describe me as a mascot, I think…
