The free agent XI As the summer transfer window opens, Spanish daily AS have looked into the best free agent XI available this summer. For the avoidance of doubt, the team is comprised solely of players who see their current contracts expire at the end of the campaign. It’s possible that some of the players listed below may sign on at their current employers, however, it’s also possible that these players move to new clubs instead. So who is available? Starting in goal, Iker Casillas is back on the market after his contract with FC Porto ends. The former Real Madrid stopper has previously been linked to Liverpool, however that seems unlikely. At the back, Alvaro Arbeloa is available for free after his contract at West Ham expires, while, staying in the Premier League, Chelsea’s  John Terry and Man City’s Gael Clichy are now without clubs. Finally at the back, Real Madrid’s Pepe is out of contract, while he’s tipped to join Inter Milan. Midfield three Arsena...

6:03 AM Conte. As if Chelsea fans needed any more good news, the  Mirror  are reporting that Antonio Conte is ready to sign a new contract after this evening’s FA Cup final against Arsenal. There are rumours that Inter Milan will attempt to convince Conte to leave Chelsea, but that appears highly unlikely to happen.

Life couldn’t get much better for the 47-year-old. Oh wait, yes it could. Conte’s new deal is set to be worth £9.6 million-per-year, making him the highest-paid manager in Chelsea’s history.

This wouldn't be the first time the act of shaking hands — or rather, the lack thereof — has sparked headlines for President Trump. When he met German Chancellor Angela Merkel in March, Merkel asked for a handshake and Trump didn't respond. During their first meeting, President Trump and France's Emmanuel Macron shook hands for long enough to catch the attention of the pool ahead of a NATO summit in Brussels on Thursday. Per the pool report: "They shook hands for an extended period of time. Trump, 70, and Macron, 39, gripped the other's hand with considerable intensity, their knuckles turning white and their jaws clenching and faces tightening." Trump has described himself as "a germ freak" and called handshakes "barbaric." In his 1997 book "The Art of the Comeback," Trump wrote he'd "often thought of taking out a series of newspaper ads encouraging the abolishment of the handshake." Click Here  to sta...

 2017 3:31 AM Zlatan. Zlatan Ibrahimovic may not have played in Wednesday night’s Europa League final, but that didn’t stop everyone from talking about him. The injured Swede arrived at the Friends Arena in Stockholm on crutches, which he chucked to one side after Manchester United were crowned Europa League champions following their 2-0 victory over Ajax. He then spotted a funny banner of himself in the crowd - which you can see  HERE  - and made sure he got a photo of himself in front of it. Classic Zlatan. But that’s not all. Ibra also took a selfie of himself and the Europa League trophy moments before the celebrations got underway. Or at least he tried to. Watch: What happened when Rojo interrupted Zlatan's selfie As he lined up for the photo, Marcos Rojo leaned in and tried to get involved. This didn’t go down well with Zlatan, who pushed the Argentine defender out the way. He also appeared to say “go away”. Charming. Zlatan did, howeve...
