Bundesliga giants, Borrusia Dortmund, have confirmed signing Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi on loan till the end of the season

- The Belgian forward joined Dortmund as a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

- Batshuayi only joined Chelsea 18 months ago from Marseille in a deal worth over £30m

Bundesliga giants, Borrusia Dortmund, have confirmed signing Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi on loan till the end of the season.

The Belgian forward joined Dortmund as a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Bundesliga giants took to their official Twitter to confirm the signing of their newly attack recruit.

Batshuayi only joined Chelsea 18 months ago from Marseille in a deal worth over £30m.

But the 24-year-old did not make the kind of impact he would have expected under Antonio Conte, scoring just Premier League goals this season and two in the current campaign.

Batshuayi never surpassed his role as second-choice striker to both Diego Costa and Alvaro Morata.

Even when the Spaniards were injured, Conte often preferred to deploy midfielder Eden Hazard as a false nine.

But all parties are sure to be hoping that Batshuayi’s loan move helps him to develop as a player.

He will wear the number 44 shirt at Dortmund and could automatically become their No 1 forward.

Batshuayi said: “In order to reach my big goal, I want to play as much as I can and score many goals because there is the World Cup this summer.”

The Belgian forward wasted no time in jelling with new teammates as he had his first training session with his new team less than 24 hours after his London switch.

Bazymedia previously reported that French striker Olivier Giroud has completed £18 million move to reigning Premier League champions Chelsea from Arsenal on 18 month deal.

Ibrahimovic free to leave Manchester United if he wants, says Mourinho

  Manchester United will not stand in the way of Zlatan Ibrahimovic if he wants to leave the club, manager Jose Mourinho said on Monday. But the Swedish striker, linked by British media with a move to LA Galaxy, has not mentioned the subject to his manager

If that is true and Zlatan wants a future in another club in another country then I will help and create conditions for that to happen,” Mourinho told reporters. The 36-year-old Ibrahimovic, who joined Manchester United in 2016 and is out of contract in the summer, has hardly played this season after suffering a knee ligament injury in 2017. But Mourinho said Ibrahimovic was striving to get back to peak condition. “He’s working hard to be fit. I’m not saying injured because he’s not injured. I think he’s in a moment of trying to feel really ready for the demands of English Premier League football.” Mourinho also gave an update on midfielder Marouane Fellaini, who is free to talk to other clubs as his contract ticks down. “He knows I want him and the club wants him and I think that’s very important for him. But then there is a paper to sign but you only sign the paper when you are happy with what’s on the paper,” Mourinho said. The 30-year-old Belgian has been linked with a move to Turkish side Besiktas.(Reuters/NAN)

Jose Mourinho v Liverpool over the years

October 11, 2017

Sport

Mourinho's United prepare to face Liverpool on Saturday, having played against the Merseyside club 25 times in his glittering career.
He's played two, drawn two against Liverpool as United boss, but it was events during his two stints at Chelsea that helped build the intense relationship

In 25 meetings, nine of which have been in major semi-finals or finals, Mourinho has come out on top 11 times, losing six and drawing eight.
That win percentage of 44 per cent is among the worst of all sides he has faced more than 10 times, with Barcelona (29 per cent) and Stoke (40 per cent) the only two sides he has been less successful against.

 SHANGHAI: Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. The world's top two men's tennis players, with 35 Grand Slam titles between then, 37 meetings, 23-14 head-to-head. The tournament win count for the year is 11, six to the Spaniard. The 30-somethings are now in a chase for the season-ending World No.1 ranking.


Nadal and Federer, seeded one and two at this week's Shanghai Rolex Masters, have loaded draws. The Swiss said he didn't think Nadal would play in Asia, especially following a hectic summer which he finished with the title at the US Open.

"It's nice to see him keep going, a really big win for him (China Open, Beijing) on Sunday," Federer said of Nadal. "He won the US Open, played the Laver Cup, so for him to go to Beijing and win it right away, I expected him to pull out, to be honest, just because, why not? And come here to Shanghai. Or maybe just skip Asia totally. You know, why not? There is no reason for him to push so hard."

Federer underlined that Nadal was more than just clay court king. He can play on all surfaces.

"He played the final of the Australian Open. That's not losing in the first round. He made his point early in the season that he can play on hard courts, he showed that 15 years ago. The problem for him is that he has won 10 French Opens. People think he cannot play on hard courts because he has won so many French Opens."

In an exclusive chat with Completesportsnigeria.com, the former Celtic FC defender says odds favour Super Eagles to bag the desired result against Chioplopolo of Zambia if the team’s buildup to Saturday’s game is anything to go by.
“Nigeria have been impressive in the qualifiers, and I can see that the hunger in this team keeps increasing by every game
“All they need now is our support and the match will be won. Fine, Zambia is not a bad side, but again we are playing at home and I don’t foresee any upset against the Super Eagles.
“I’m be praying for Super Eagles to win,” Ambrose said.
