Fraser Forster says Celtic would be good enough to compete with teams in the Premier League on a weekly basis. The goalkeeper, who moved back to Parkhead on-loan from Southampton, insists he has been surprised at the level of his team-mates since his return. Forster, 31, is in his second spell at the club after leaving for the Premier League back in 2014. He won three successive Scottish Premiership titles and two Scottish League Cup’s in his first stint but reckons the Hoops’ current squad trumps that one. Neil Lennon’s men have made a perfect start to the defence of their title, winning all six of their league games so far. “Looking at what we’ve got in the dressing room and the team we’ve got, there’s no reason why we wouldn’t have a comfortable season in the Premier League,” said Forster. “I knew there was a good squad here the second I came through the door but I have been surprised at just how good they are, when you actually see people in training and day in, day …
7 former Premier League stars you didn’t know became agents – including Deco and Kezman
There are plenty of avenues open to Premier League footballers when their careers come to an end in the modern era.

Fortunately, there are various opportunities and support networks available for those who struggle..

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp brands Newcastle takeover “the Super League for one club”
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp thinks Newcastle’s £305million Saudi-led takeover is like “the Super League for one club.” Klopp has been left confused over how the takeover, which was completed last week, was able to go ahead. The Premier League approved the takeover after receiving “legally binding assurances” that the Saudi state would not control the club. The Public Investment Fund (PIF) – which is seen as separate to the state – will provide 80% of the funds. Speaking to Sky Deutschland, Klopp was asked to share his thoughts on the takeover, which now makes Newcastle the richest club in world football. “I don’t want to make it my business because it’s not my business. There are no two opinions about the obvious human rights concerns in Saudi Arabia,” Klopp told Sky Deutschland. “That’s not a question. But how it could then happen that this was nevertheless allowed despite many concerns, I cannot assess. That must be some other people. “If we only …

Man Utd already have Paul Pogba replacement lined up as Barcelona open Mino Raiola talks
Manchester United already have a replacement lined up as they prepare for the departure of midfielder Paul Pogba next summer. The Frenchman’s contract at Old Trafford runs out next year and he is yet to sign a contract extension, despite an offer from United being on the table since last July. Pogba arrived at United in 2016 for £89.3million from Juventus but his price tag has often meant that he has frequently come under criticism from fans and pundits alike for his inconsistency. The 28-year-old is regularly a standout performer in the France national team and looks like a world-class act on the international stage, but he can’t find that level of form at a club level. Despite that, numerous teams are looking at signing Pogba on a free transfer next year and trying to add consistency to his game, and ESPN have revealed that Barcelona have joined the race to secure his signature, despite their reportedly poor financial position. The La Liga …

Rafa Benitez’s attitude towards Everton contract as Newcastle hunt next manager
Rafa Benitez’s intention of seeing out his Everton contract will reportedly rule him out of becoming Newcastle United ’s next manager. Benitez helped Newcastle get promoted back in 2017, after which he also helped attract financier Amanda Staveley to the prospect of buying the club. The Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund-led takeover was finally completed last week after an 18 month-struggle to pass the Premier League ’s Owners and Directors Test. But Benitez has since gone on to manage Everton from the start of this season and is unlikely to give up his current role despite the allure of a return to St James’, according to The Telegraph . The 61-year-old Champions League winner is idolised by Newcastle supporters and the temptation to re-join his old side, who he only left due to a lack of financial backing, will no doubt be there. Newcastle’s new owners are expected to invest heavily into making the Magpies a top side and the proposition of …
