Bernardo Silva for free feels great for Real Madrid. Silva will bring some much needed composure, ball moving skills and creativity that Madrid have lost in Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in the past two seasons.
In the Premier League last season he played 38 games, with 4 assists and 2 goals.

The Athletic saying Spurs are in positive talks with Sandro Tonali’s camp about a transfer, but have had no contact with Newcastle yet.
Am I crazy or didn’t clubs used to have to contact the club where the player is under contract and reach an agreement first.
When did this change?

Coventry City are promoted back to the Premier League after a 25-year absence.
Just eight years after being in English football's fourth tier, their rise through the pyramid is complete.
Frank Lampard's side drew 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers to secure their return for the first time since 2001.

For a league which last year was accused of being boring and predictable, having teams like Brentford, Everton, Brighton and Sunderland deservedly competing for European places has been a lovely tonic.
A lot more teams still in the hunt, but it’s still refreshing. #premierleague

After Pedro Neto's red card against Arsenal yesterday, Chelsea have had nine different players sent off in all competitions this season.
Just two more and they could field an entire XI of players who have received red cards this season.

Meanwhile chasing pack Ipswich and Hull swap places for the second time in two weeks after the Tractor Boys win away and the The Tigers lose at home!
