Monaco offer Stekelenburg Fulham escape

Ligue 1 side Monaco have announced the season-long loan signing of Fulham goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.

The Netherlands international joined Fulham from Roma last year, but endured a disappointing debut season in England.

The 31-year-old suffered a number of injuries and made only 19 Premier League appearances as Fulham suffered relegation.

And the former Ajax stopper has now sealed a temporary switch to Monaco, with the club s chief executive Vadim Vasilyev telling their official website: We are happy to have another goalkeeper with such an international experience.

He has played the final of the World cup 2010 with the Netherlands.

Stekelenburg added: I am happy to be a part of the project of the club. I am going to give everything for my …

A-League Preview: Phoenix staying grounded

Wellington Phoenix are remaining grounded, despite moving within three points of top spot in the A-League.

Wellington Phoenix have emerged as a serious championship contender after stunning Melbourne Victory last week but coach Ernie Merrick insists finishing in the top four remains the number one priority for his team.

Phoenix host rivals Adelaide Untied on Saturday after coming from behind to beat Victory 3-2 for their first win over the dual A-League champions in Melbourne.

Perth Glory are only three points clear at the summit with eight games remaining before the fina…

Huddersfield boss Wagner relishing clash with ´best friend´ Klopp

David Wagner admitted he did not expect to be facing best friend Jurgen Klopp so soon in the Premier League as high-flying Huddersfield Town make the trip to Liverpool.

It will be master against apprentice when Liverpool manager Klopp welcomes Wagner s Huddersfield to Anfield on Saturday – the first competitive meeting between the two Germans.

Wagner and Klopp first met as players at second-tier German side Mainz in 1991, forming a bond that has lasted until this day, and the former is relishing the opportunity to go toe-to-toe with the Liverpool boss.

It is extraordinary because he is my best friend, said Wagner via the Telegraph.

But the real extraordinary story is that Huddersfield are playing Liverpool in the Premier League.

Wagner was ap…

Prediction: Leeds vs Arsenal

Best Odds: 7/10

Bookmaker:

Two sides who are desperately seeking a bounce this weekend, Leeds will welcome Arsenal to an empty Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.

Leeds

Starting with the hosts, while Leeds might have really burst onto the scene after ending their Premier League exile over the summer, the Whites find themselves in the midst of a real sticky patch. Freefalling down the table after their bright start, Marcelo Bielsa s men were last seen earlier in the month getting hit with thumping back-to-back 4-1 defeats against Crystal Palace and Leicester. While the in-form Patrick Bamford might have been able to extend on his individual purple patch after bagging a consolation strike at Selhurst Park, the former Napoli boss has seen his side record just a singl…

Lampard: Chelsea success can help England

England midfielder Frank Lampard believes Chelsea s Champions League success can have a positive effect on the nation s Euro 2012 hopes.

Lampard is joined by Chelsea team-mates Ashley Cole, John Terry and Gary Cahill in the England squad and said he is still on a high after the London club s Champions League triumph in Munich.

I hope it can help greatly, Lampard said.

You have to try to bring the positives all together.

We will try and bring out a spring in our step into the squad, and we want to try and bring the fact that we ve won something this year, potentially against the odds at some times.

Maybe England will be at odds, and there is nothing wrong with that feeling, and as long as we can bring something as Chelsea boys we will.

Uruguay 1 Paraguay 1: Gimenez and Barrios on target as Uruguay seal progress

Uruguay reached the Copa America knockout stages with a 1-1 draw against Group B rivals Paraguay in La Serena on Saturday.

Oscar Tabarez s defending champions gained the point needed to ensure progression by virtue of being one of the top two third-placed teams in the competition.

And, despite missing suspended skipper Diego Godin, Uruguay did enough to claim a share of the spoils in a rematch of the 2011 final, taking the lead against the run of play having been on the back foot for much of the opening half-hour.

Jose Gimenez powered a header beat a helpless Justo Villar to give Tabarez s men hope of progressing alongside Argentina in the top two spots.

However, Paraguay guaranteed a quarter-final place prior to kick-off  scored from a corner of …

Inter 2-0 Spezia: Gagliardini and Martinez help keep pressure on Napoli

Inter saw off Spezia 2-0 at San Siro to make it three Serie A wins in a row under Simone Inzaghi for the first time.

The in-form hosts defeated leaders Napoli and lowly Venezia in their previous two league outings and were good value for their latest victory at home to Spezia.

Roberto Gagliardini rounded off a nice team move to give Inzaghi s men a half-time lead and Lautaro Martinez, who created the opener, doubled his side s tally from the penalty spot to seal the victory.

Inter climb two points above Milan in second and within a point of Napoli, but those two teams are in action later on Wednesday against Genoa and Sassuolo respectively.
