Napoli midfielder Allan has signed a contract extension to keep him at Stadio San Paolo until 2023.

The news comes less than a week after Romania international Vlad Chiriches agreed a new deal.

The 27-year-old has scored four goals in 27 Serie A appearances this season – his best tally in a season since joining the club from Udinese in June 2015 – and also has four assists to his name.

Allan s most recent goal for Napoli was the decisive strike in a 1-0 win over SPAL in February, and he is a regular starter in Maurizio Sarri s table-topping side, with just five of his league appearances  this season coming from the bench.

Aurelio De Laurentiis would like to thank Andrea Chiavelli and Cristiano Giuntoli for their work over the past few months on cont…

Dortmund goes Dutch

Dortmund isn t far from the Dutch border, so it was no surprise to see a swathe of Oranje fans head over to western Germany to get a taste of the atmosphere, even if they didn t manage to get a ticket.

As they have been all tournament, the Netherlands supporters were in fantastic voice as they took over the centre of the city.

Apparently, there were a…

Despite recent claiming otherwise, Lionel Messi is NOT close to joining Inter Miami or any other club at the moment, according to Fabrizio Romano.

David Beckham s club are indeed interested in bringing the seven-time Ballon d Or winner to Florida and are pushing to make it happen. Paris Saint-Germain are also very keen to extend Messi s contract, which expires at the end of the season, by another year, and it s no big secret that Barcelona would love to have their former talisman back, having apparently sorted out the financial issues which drove him out in the first place in 2021.

However, Messi remains fully focused on his exploits with Argentina at the World Cup. He delivered in his own style by providing a goal and an assist as his team bagged a crucial victory ove…

Gareth Bale believes the euphoric feeling of Wales run to the semi-finals at Euro 2016 will spur Ryan Giggs side on against Hungary.

Following a 2-0 victory over Azerbaijan on Saturday, Wales head into their final qualifying match knowing a win will be enough to secure a place at Euro 2020.

Bale scored three goals at the previous finals as Wales with Chris Coleman in charge reached the last four in France, going out to eventual champions Portugal.

The Real Madrid forward has claimed Wales can use the experiences gained from three years ago, plus their failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, as inspiration heading into Tuesday s crucial clash in Cardiff.

I think we can use both of [the experiences] to our advantage, Bale told a news conference.

Wolves will travel to White Hart Lane with little more only the smallest hope that they can pull off a surprise result against a tottenham team playing with flair and confidence.

Tottenham have had their strongest start to a campaign for years and are still riding high on the back of their 9-1 triumph against a poor Wigan team two weeks ago. Manager Harry Redknapp has done what he does best motivated his players to play without fear and with the belief that they can beat anybody. They currently lie in fourth place in the league just one place behind their neighbours and arch rivals Arsenal. With the likes of Jermaine Defoe, Peter Crouch and Robbie Keane all vying for places up front, and with the pacy and creative Aaron Lennon back in his berth on the right of midfield Tottenha…

The Philadelphia Eagles have developed into one of the best rushing attacks over the past four weeks and will put that ground game to the test against a run stop unit that has been the standard in the NFL for the past decade.

The Eagles host the New Orleans Saints in Week 11 and the NFL betting odds have installed Philadelphia as a 1.5-point favorite, coming off an impressive road win in Denver last Sunday. New Orleans, on the other hand, came up short on a 2-point conversion in Tennessee and has dropped back-to-back outings.

The NFL’s first-ever Black Friday game goes down today between the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets in beautiful East Rutherford, New Jersey. While they’ve been polar opposites in terms of style of play for most of the season, the Dolphins are starting to look like a more complete team with a healthy Jalen Ramsey dominating in the secondary.

Miami is one of the biggest favorites of the week, as the NFL odds saw the visitors get as high as -10 after opening at -7.5. The move is largely due to the Jets demoting Zach Wilson as they’ll be going with some guy named Tim Boyle at quarterback, which begs the question… how bad is Boyle if the line is moving this much?

This game also features a total of 41 points, which is the lowest total for a Dolp…
