'So good to be back' - Harry Kane beams after returning to Bayern Munich training following disappointing Euro 2024 campaign with England #footballfanarena #ffa #england #harrykane #bayernmunich #euro2024

Real Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay has confirmed that the club are determined to keep hold of Mikel Merino, with Arsenal pursuing a deal for the midfielder this summer. Arsenal are keen to further strengthen after wrapping up the signing of Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori and it’s understood Merino is at the top of the Gunners’ wishlist, with Mikel Arteta’s side on the hunt for midfield reinforcements. Merino racked up seven goals and four assists for Sociedad across an eye-catching season last term and played a key role in Spain’s Euro 2024 success, scoring a dramatic last-gasp winner against Germany in the quarter-finals. #footballfanarena #ffa #sociedad #euro2024 #arsenal #football

Nico Williams has made a big decision over his future as he continues to be linked with Barcelona, Arsenal and Chelsea. The 22-year-old winger had already emerged as a target for some of the biggest clubs in the world but saw his reputation grow even further during Spain’s successful Euro 2024 campaign. Williams was one of the stars of the tournament and scored in Spain’s 2-1 final win over England to help his nation secure a record fourth European Championship crown. #footballfanarena #ffa #arsenal #football #chelsea #barca #euro2024 #England

Crystal Palace have raised their price to sign England Euro 2024 star Marc Guehi, amid interest from Liverpool and Manchester United. Guehi was arguably England’s best and most consistent player throughout the European Championships, playing all but one game as the Three Lions fell short at the final hurdle. His impact caught many by surprise given his lack of international experience, having only become a starting player after Harry Maguire was forced to miss the tournament through injury. #footballfanarena #FFA #manchesterunited #euro2024 #England #marcguehi

Champions League winner Didi Hamann has warned England star Jude Bellingham that he needs to change his behaviour to avoid going down the wrong path in the aftermath of Euro 2024. Bellingham arrived in Germany off the back of a superb maiden season for Real Madrid which saw him win the La Liga Player of the Year award after helping his side win the league and Champions League. At the Euros, the 21-year-old started all seven games but was unable to prevent England falling just short in the final against Spain in Berlin. #footballfanarena #euro2024 #FFA #England #judebellingham

Harry Kane has no intention of retiring from international football despite enduring another final defeat with England and largely struggling at Euro 2024. Kane finished the tournament as joint-top goalscorer with three goals but was subbed off in five of England’s seven games, including the final against Spain. Gareth Southgate admitted after the 2-1 defeat in Berlin that his captain and the country’s record goalscorer ‘didn’t quite get up to the level we had all hoped’ after picking up an injury towards the end of last season. Kane’s passive performances – combined with the emergence of Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney, who played small but crucial roles in the knockout stages – has led to scrutiny over the Bayern Munich striker’s place in the team going forward. #footballfanarena #euro2024 #FFA #England #garethsouthgate #harrykane

Jude Bellingham took out his anger on a huge drinks cooler after England’s defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday evening. Gareth Southgate’s side suffered a last-gasp defeat at the Olympiastadion in Berlin as Mikel Oyarzabal’s goal in the 86th minute sealed a 2-1 victory for Spain after Cole Palmer had cancelled out Nico Williams’ opener. #footballfanarena #ffa #euro2024 #judebellingham #garethsouthgate

Alan Shearer claims Jude Bellingham ‘wasn’t happy at all’ with Gareth Southgate’s tactics during the Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain. The Three Lions failed to win their first European Championship and end 58 years of hurt as they were beaten 2-1 by Spain in the Euros final in Berlin. After a cagey and uneventful first half, Spain took the lead just after the break, Nico Williams finding space in the box to spot past Jordan Pickford. A couple of England changes had the desired effect and Southgate’s side drew level on 73 minutes as Cole Palmer found the bottom corner from the edge of the box. #footballfanarena #ffa #euro2024 #england #garethsouthgate #judebellingham #alanshearer

Gareth Southgate believes England’s inability to keep the ball against Spain was a key factor behind their defeat in the Euro 2024 final. England have become the first team to lose in consecutive European Championship finals after they were beaten 2-1 by Spain in Berlin on Sunday evening. Cole Palmer scored a brilliant equaliser to cancel out Nico Williams’ opener shortly after half time, but Mikel Oyarzabal’s goal in the 86th minute sealed a deserved victory for Spain. England’s lack of fluidity throughout the tournament was a constant problem for Southgate and the Three Lions were under constant pressure from Spain throughout the final. #footballfanarena #ffa #england #garethsouthgate #spain #euro2024

Joshua Zirkzee appears to have confirmed that a move to Old Trafford is imminent, with eagle-eyed Manchester United fans spotting his not-so-subtle hints on Instagram. United have prioritised a move for a new centre-forward to support Rasmus Hojlund this summer and Bologna striker Zirkzee has jumped right to the top of the club’s wishlist in recent weeks. The Netherlands international racked up 11 goals and four assists for Bologna in Serie A last term and was a part of Ronald Koeman’s squad that got knocked out of Euro 2024 by England on Wednesday night. The Red Devils have had to fend off strong competition from AC Milan for Zirkzee’s signature and widespread reports indicate that a deal, worth in the region of £33million, is close to being wrapped up for the 23-year-old. #footballfanarena #euro2024 #FFA #England #manchesterunited #JoshuaZirkzee
