Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed that he could be interested in signing for Paris Saint-Germain.
The Gabon international has developed into one of Europe s finest forwards in recent seasons and has already scored seven goals in just nine appearances in all competitions in 2016-17.
Manchester City were linked with a possible move for Aubameyang during the most recent transfer window, while he has said on a number of occasions that he would like to play for Real Madrid.
But the 27-year-old has now claimed he could be tempted by the prospect of returning to Ligue 1 to join the champions, whom he claims have been in persistent contact.
At the end of my first season in the Bundesliga, there was contact, he told Onze Mondiale magaz…
Former Barcelona forward David Villa heaped praise on Pep Guardiola, labelling him as one of the greatest coaches in the history of football , while he backed the Spanish boss to lead Manchester City to Champions League glory.
After masterminding City s 3-1 win over Barcelona on November 1, Guardiola s men are now on the verge of qualifying for the Champions League knockout rounds.
City made it all the way to the semi-finals last season but Villa now captain of MLS outfit New York City having spent three years at Barca between 2010 and 2013 believes Guardiola is the man to help the Premier League giants reign supreme in Europe this term.
Guardiola is one of the greatest coaches in the history of football and I feel proud to have worked with him, Villa told Sky …
Liverpool continued their 100 per cent start to the Premier League season with an authoritative 2-1 win over Tottenham.
Georginio Wijnaldum scored away from home in England s top flight for the first time and Roberto Firmino gave Jurgen Klopp s men breathing space in the 54th minute.
Mauricio Pochettino s Spurs were again out of sorts following their 2-1 loss to Watford before the international break, with substitute Erik Lamela s stoppage-time goal giving the scoreline a very flattering look for the hosts.
The onus is now on Chelsea and Watford to keep pace with Liverpool when they host Cardiff and Manchester United respectively later on Saturday.
Back to work.

Barcelona great Carles Puyol claims he would not see a problem with Neymar joining Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Brazil international sensationally quit Barca for PSG in a world-record move worth €222million in August, only to be swiftly linked with a transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Some have suggested Neymar only agreed to sign for the Ligue 1 powerhouse to ease his potential pathway to Madrid.
And while joining Los Blancos via the Parc des Princes would doubtless still be considered an unforgiveable betrayal among supporters of the Catalan giants, Puyol is realistic about the prospect.
I think he could join Madrid, yes, he told Brazilian newspaper Estadao.
I don t see any problem with it. He s a professional and it s not tha…
Borussia Dortmund made a winning start to 2017 with a 2-1 victory over 10-man Werder Bremen in a tempestuous match at Weserstadion.
Thomas Tuchel s side arrived in Bremen hoping to end a run of three straight draws in the Bundesliga and Andre Schurrle scored his first league goal for the club to put them ahead after just five minutes.
Werder were unbeaten in five matches going into the game and did their best to contain Dortmund until the 38th minute, when goalkeeper Jaroslav Drobny was shown a straight red card for a dangerous challenge on Marco Reus as the Germany international raced through on goal.
Despite their numerical disadvantage, Bremen levelled the match after an hour when Fin Bartels raced clear of the Dortmund defence to score, but the visitors were…

The USMNT was always going to do a good job of bouncing back after not qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, and yet, we somehow think they re starting to go above and beyond the initial expectations put in front of them. They re playing some really nice football and while gelling as a team unit is going to be the …
Pep Guardiola does not appear overly concerned by the prospect of Liverpool shattering Manchester City s Premier League benchmarks, saying: Records are there to be broken .
City have won the Premier League under Guardiola in the past two seasons and, while they were pushed all the way by Liverpool last term, the 2017-18 success was similar to the Reds current tilt in its dominance.
Guardiola s side finished on a record 100 points, yet Liverpool have dropped only two points all season and look on course to surpass that total, while also troubling Arsenal s 49-match unbeaten run from 2003-04.
Asked about the prospect of Liverpool claiming such records ahead of City s FA Cup tie against Fulham, Guardiola said: Yes, it can happen.
Records are there to be bro…
Liverpool returned to the Premier League summit despite being held to a 0-0 draw by bitter rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford in a match that was marred by first-half injuries to four players.
After days of anticipation and excitement, the match swiftly descended into farce in the first period, as Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Roberto Firmino and Jesse Lingard were all forced off injured, and the match struggled to recover from an entertainment perspective.
The medical staff were rather less busy in the second half and that allowed Liverpool to increase the pressure, generally dominating against a United effectively playing with 10 men due to Marcus Rashford struggling with a knock.
But the Reds could not take advantage, with United arguably happy to hold on to…
Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic claims he has an addiction to scoring goals.
The Serbia international has certainly done a good job of feeding that addiction, bagging 38 goals in 58 Serie A appearances for Fiorentina in the past two seasons before scoring seven in 15 for Juve following his big-money move in January.
Vlahovic joined the Bianconeri from Fiorentina for a reported fee of €70million and settled well into life in Turin, helping his new side clinch fourth place and a Champions League spot.
Speaking to Icon Magazine, the 22-year-old did not hold back when asked what scoring goals means to him.
It s something that fills me, he said. It pervades me completely, so when I don t feel this emotion, after the game, I feel on the ground, empty.…
There has been a lot of talk recently about the prospects for the future of Juan Foyth at Tottenham Hotspur. Apparently, Barcelona are interested in the young defender, but head coach Jose Mourinho refused to sanction a sale in January. Now, however, his agent doubts Foyth will be in north London for much longer.
The 22-year-old joined Spurs from Estudiantes in the summer of 2017 for just over £10 million. Since then he has made only 32 appearances in all competitions, despite his capability to perform well both as a centre-back and on the right defensive flank.
Claudio Curti, who represents Foyth, told TalkSPORT that everything that has been going on with his client in recent months makes his future with Spurs doubtful. He refused to comment on the way Mourinho is run…
