Borussia Dortmund's CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said: "Despite many offers from absolute top clubs from all over Europe, Erling Haaland decided on the sporting task at BVB and the perspective that we have shown him. Our tenacity has paid off. Haaland's father Alf-Inge played in the Premier League for Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough and Manchester City but his son said he was convinced by the hierarchy at Dortmund that Germany was the right place for him.
According to the Standard, the Catalan club will be allowed to bring in the Brazilian as an 'emergency transfer' due to long-term injuries to forwards Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele. La Liga's transfer policy means an emergency signing can only be brought in if a club suffers from an injury of at least five months, with the player in question being deregistered from the squad.
St Mirren have put the vast majority of their playing and non-playing staff on furlough leave, but will make up the shortfall in wages. The Job Retention Scheme will pay 80% of their salaries up to a monthly sum of £2,500 and the Scottish Premiership side will "make up any difference". We don't want our people to worry about their income at a time of many other family concerns," the club added. Only a core group will keep working to ensure the running of the business.
The win sees Gian Piero Gasperini’s side take control in the race for a top-four finish as Atalanta have 45 points, six ahead of Roma with a better head-to-head record than the capital club. Earlier, 18th-placed Genoa recorded their first away win of the season with a 3-0 victory at Bologna that moved them within a point of the safety zone as the hosts finished with nine men following the expulsions of Jerdy Schouten and Stefano Denswil.
However, things have been a little more frustrating of late and whilst the Robins remain in good form, they know they need to improve on a run of form which has seen them draw five of their last six matches. Draws have been a theme of the season for the hosts and they have had to settle for a share of the spoils in nine of their 21 matches in League Two overall this term.
Sometimes it can be difficult to point out the cracks in this imperious PSG side currently eight points clear at the top of the table but they do exist despite the incredible success as of late. Paris have won nine of their last eleven games in all competitions but there has been a slight underperformance of late away from home. They have kept just the one clean sheet in their last five away games with goals being conceded to teams of the utmost quality like Madrid (2-2) but also rather poor outfits such as Dijon (1-2) and Brest (2-1).

His cutback takes out Patricio and the Wolves defence, leaving El Arabi a tap-in from four yards out at the back post! 59’ CHANCE!

I think that is because the situation I have just come through in India has made me stronger mentally. In the past it used to be the be-all and end-all for me. If I didn't get a club in the first couple of weeks, I would start panicking. But I feel relaxed about the situation. I'm in the mindset of what will be, will be. I have got a mortgage and a family to look after, but I believe football will take care of itself.

He could still cost around £80 million despite currently running down his deal. Paper Round’s view: Sane has the remaining few months of the season to prove his fitness. If he does that, he will likely be included in Germany’s squad for Euro 2020. An impressive tournament there could attract attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, and might help Manchester City raise a decent amount for him instead of losing him for nothing in the summer of 2021.
Winning the FA Cup the season before gave us confidence as a team to go on and claim that title win. If someone wrote a film and put that ending in, you'd walk out and say 'nonsense, that would never happen'. That was incredible. To win the league like that will be remembered for a long, long time. We'd have played better if we hadn't scored early'Milner won his first major honour at Liverpool last season when he helped Klopp's side beat Tottenham 2-0 in the Champions League final after Mohamed Salah's second-minute penalty set them on their way.
The former Manchester United player felt ill during his side's defeat to Valencia on December 10 and has since gone through extensive medical tests. The Amsterdam side disclosed on Saturday that Blind had been "diagnosed with heart muscle inflammation" and will miss the side's mid-season training camp in January.
This is now about preservation of life for many, so while some debate whether the season should be annulled or not, or carried on when it is safe to do so, let's all of us just remember that all pales into insignificance when the stark reality bites that this is about life and death. Let's get back to a point when the safety of the public can be guaranteed and make decisions on the rest from there.
Annapolis is in the good form, and they almost did not lose a game in this season. Team should not be underdog with Vila Nova, since the home side went drop from the Serie B in the Federal league, and they are making new squad in order to return to the professional league.
To hear the MOTD team's final selections - recorded during a debate held in Lineker's kitchen - make sure you listen to the podcast on BBC Sounds. And at the bottom of the page have a go at ranking the 10 players yourself. Listen to the second episode of Match of the Day: Top 10How to judge the Premier League's greatest goalscorer?After leaving for Spain, the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez have gone on to produce even more eye-catching exploits so the debate was restricted to what the players have done in the Premier League.
Their deep love of Villa comes from their father, Ron, who worked as a steward in the Trinity Road Stand. Aged 11, Smith was one of thousands who poured onto the streets of Birmingham to welcome Villa's triumphant 1982 European Cup-winning team back from the Netherlands after a 1-0 win over Bayern Munich. Pat Heard, an unused substitute in Rotterdam, lived opposite Ron and Hilary and spotted a fresh-faced Smith among the flag-waving hordes.
United’s head of global scouting Marcel Bout was said to be in Austria for the clash, which ultimately saw Haaland fail to score for the first time in a Champions League group game this season. The Norwegian has scored 28 times this season, including eight goals in Europe, but he was unable to help his side reach the last 16 as Liverpool and Napoli advanced.
There isn't a huge amount between the two sides but Lyon possess a little more quality in the final third with the spark of Depay and Traore meaning they might just be able to edge the game and find the win. We're predicting that the French side will be able to secure their qualification to the final 16 with a slender 1-0 win and make their final group game with RB Leipzig a formality.
Furthermore, it has pledged to provide financial support to clubs after fears that the loss of matchday revenue could cripple several smaller teams. Discussions centred on financial relief for Clubs in the short term and while there is no one single solution, measures are to be put in place to immediately assist with cash flow via a £50million short-term relief package.
There will always be arguments over the winner of the Ballon d'Or. This year, the major omission in the women's top three is an Arsenal star who's scored 22 goals in 13 starts so far this season, and marked her epic 2018-19 campaign with the Golden Boot, the PFA Player of the Year award as well as some great performances for the Netherlands at the Women's World Cup.
The statement continued: "In establishing the new group, the EFL and PFA acknowledge the common problems faced by the League and member clubs, and the need for all parties to be part of a solution. Dialogue with the working group will enable the League both to listen to the concerns of players and to explain the extent of the financial challenges. It will focus not just on the short term (May and June) but will address the medium-term position from the start of July onwards and into next season.
These teams have only won 1 match between them in their past 10 combined matches against other teams. This could be a match where scoring with be hard on both teams and with this the goal count might be under 3 goals for the match. A couple of weeks ago there were a few low scoring matches in this league and this could be another low scoring week with more even teams playing each other. None of these teams look likely to push hard to score a lot of goals or even push to get the winning goal from recent matches

However, as has been mentioned, momentum has been a real issue for them as they have only managed to get points in consecutive games once, and that was their two draws in their opening two matches. Since then it has been extremely tough times for the Alsatians and we don't think the timing of the international break will have helped them. On top of this Strasbourg's away form has been just dreadful, the worst in the league as they are the only side to have picked up just one point on the road. They have lost each of their last six away games, failing to score in each game and we feel that could cost them here.

Fifth-placed Roma, suffering from the inconsistency which has dogged them over the last few seasons, had lost their last three league games while Lecce had won theirs, but they made surprisingly light work of the visitors. Mkhitaryan set up the first goal in the 13th minute when he laid the ball off for Cengiz Under to burst through the Rome defence and comfortably beat Mauro Vigorito.

But here come Liverpool again, Robertson dashing by a spent Wan-Bissaka and sending a low cross into the middle as Shaw falls over - of course he does - and all Salah has to do is sweep home. But he somehow miskicks, sending the ball from his left against his right, and De Gea scrambles around the post.

Inevitably, Villa will have to spend a portion of the upcoming truncated off-season dealing with rumours linking Grealish with a move away from the club. But at least they will now be able to negotiate from a relative position of strength as a top-flight club. Hammers earn their bit of luckHaving already secured their place in the Premier League next season, there was a risk that West Ham's players might have played within themselves on Sunday.

Olympic decision due 'in the next four weeks' More here from Thomas Bach after that IOC meeting today. Whilst cancellation has been ruled out, the president says that a decision on either pressing ahead or postponing is likely to come some time in the next four weeks. A decision about a postponement today could not determine a new date for the Olympic Games because of the uncertain developments in both directions: an improvement, as we are seeing in a number of countries thanks to the severe measures being taken, or a deteriorating situation in other countries.
The canceled main round was now divided in two groups in Greece, the top 6 play champions and Co. but these two teams here did not make it and have to play in the relegation round. Panetolikos lost 0-2 to Lamia in the first game and is thus 10 points behind a place of safe zone. Larisa also lost the first game 1-2 at home against Asteras and is still third of these 8 teams. What is interesting about this match is that if we look at their matches they played we can notice that the last three matches ended with the division of points but also all three matches ended with identical scoreline.
All of our players have been reminded to respect social distancing when exercising outdoors," a Tottenham statement said. We shall continue to reinforce this message. This is the latest incident of Premier League footballers flouting social distancing guidelines put in place because of the coronavirus pandemic, with Kyle Walker rebuked by Manchester City after media reports that he hosted two sex workers at his home and Jack Grealish allegedly involved in a traffic incident during the lockdown.
This is the first chance of his career – hell, anyone’s career – to have a proper rest. Take it, Harry. Season is over (for ninth tier of English football) We promise we’re not scraping the barrel… but we bring news from a level of football that is only a few rungs above a standard the Warm-Up once played (still clinging to that 14th tier dream).

In his previous spell in charge, from November 2017-May 2018, the Scot recorded nine wins and 10 draws from 31 games and led the club to Premier League safety. West Ham are 17th in the Premier League and Moyes will be in the dugout for their New Year's Day home game against Bournemouth (17:30 GMT). That's what I do, I win - MoyesNoble's letter in fullHello everyone. As captain of this great football club, I want to speak directly to you, my fellow West Ham United supporters.
The Premier League has been suspended indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic with the UK on lockdown to curb the spread of the virus. Liverpool held a 25-point lead at the top of the table when the season was halted. Klopp has been putting his players through their paces in online training sessions and said the social aspect of the link-up, including birthday singalongs, was helping the squad deal with being stuck in isolation.
Two teams without any relegation worries in this ending of the season and especially Santa Clara is very attacking minded as last round they even scored 4 goals away from home at league leaders at the time Benfica and won the game to everyone's surprise with 4-3 in the end, and they also won with 4th placed Braga with 3-2 at home after the restart and drew 2-2 at Setubal and 1-1 at home with Portimonense as well so odds of 2.60 on the over 2.5 goals are excellent.
Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin says it is a "privilege" to play under new Toffees manager Carlo Ancelotti. The ex-Real Madrid and Chelsea boss took over at Goodison Park in December. Ancelotti won his first two games in charge, with Calvert-Lewin scoring in both, before Everton lost 2-1 to Manchester City on Wednesday. He is one of biggest managers in the world and as a young kid growing up you saw him on TV working at some of biggest clubs," said Calvert-Lewin, 22.
