What’s the story? Chelsea’s Cesc Fabregas is on his way out of England and Thierry Henry’s AS Monaco looks like the most likely destination for the Spaniard, according to reports from Goal and SkySports.

Manchester United’s interim manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has maintained a laudable record since joining the Red Devils following Jose Mourinho’s departure at Old Trafford. The Norweigan tactician has won all his four games and by each passing day, is becoming a fan favorite to take over the Old Trafford job on a permanent basis. Mourinho used to criticize the inability of United hierarchy for not making new signings in the transfer market as he failed to get himself a new centre-back despite chasing Toby Alderweireld and Harry Maguire for the most part of last summer. On the other hand, Solskjaer has…
Arsenal head coach Unai Emery does not know whether veteran goalkeeper Petr Cech will be at the Premier League club next season. Cech is out of contract at the end of the campaign and the 36-year-old is facing an uncertain future in London.

Cech is set to start Saturday’s FA Cup clash against Blackpool and when asked about the Czech Republic international’s future, Emery – who played down links with Real Madrid keeper Keylor Navas – told…
Are you trying to teach your child the value of money and the importance of saving up for special items — by stashing away some of his or her birthday, holiday, and gift money? If so, it might make sense to open a kid’s bank account for that extra money. With their own savings account, your children can start socking away the money they receive from relatives, cash they earn by completing chores, and monies you contribute on their behalf — and watch it add up, according to www.thesimpledollar.com. And unlike your child’s piggy bank, a savings account may also offer…
The title race is alive and kicking, and that’s all because of last night’s match. It took a tremendous performance from the under-fire Manchester City team, which played a high tempo game, to beat the high-flying Liverpool at the Etihad and reduce the deficit at the top of the Premier League table. Pep Guardiola’s team had gone ahead just five minutes before half time through Sergio Aguero, but Firmino equalized after 64 minutes. Leroy Sane, who was not having a decent game, then came up with the deciding blow from the left side in the 72nd minute. That strike lifted the whole team…
