Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has 14 goals for the Foxes this season with nine in his past seven Premier League games.
Vardy s form has sparked talk of a title challenge for Brendan Rodgers side, with Leicester currently occupying second place eight points behind leaders Liverpool.
The 32-year-old s current sequence has also drawn comparison with another of his hot streaks when Leicester last won the league.
Vardy s incredible run of scoring 11 matches in a row, which broke Ruud van Nistelrooy s record of 10 goals in consecutive matches, was one of the most memorable moments of Leicester s championship-winning campaign of 2015-16.
I don t think he is, Rodgers said, when asked if Vardy was thinking about breaking for the record again. I think he ju…
According to a recent report from Corriere dello Sport, Roma forward Edin Dzeko is preparing to leave the Italian club at the end of the current Serie A season.
The 34-year-old veteran has been with the club since back in 2015, and in that time he has become quite the fan favourite in addition to becoming the captain.
The Bosnian is one of the most unique strikers of his generation, but now, it appears as if both parties could be interested in moving on to something new.
It s been a long journey for Roma to try and get back to the top of Italian football, and after years of trying, they re still way off the pace even with the occasional long run in the UEFA Champions League.
The summer transfer window is going to mark a big turning point for a lot of clu…
According to a recent report from Gazzetta dello Sport, both Real Madrid and Barcelona could attempt to bring in Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager during next summer’s transfer window. The Argentine was recently sacked from his position as Tottenham Hotspur manager following a poor start to the campaign, and in his place came Jose Mourinho. The move certainly surprised a lot of supporters who felt like it was a bit of a slap in the face to Pochettino, especially just a few months removed from him guiding them to the Champions League Final.
Barca and Real have both made unsteady starts to the new season in their own right, so a move for Poch doesn’t seem all too unrealistic but then again, there is a long way to go before we reach next summer. For better or…

Erik ten Hag blamed bad luck for the 1-0 loss to Valencia that ended Ajax s Champions League campaign on Tuesday.
Rodrigo Moreno s 24th-minute goal and Chelsea s 2-1 win over Lille in London condemned last season s semi-finalists to third place in Group H.
