An independent tribunal has ruled that the Premier League’s previous version of the Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules is “void and unenforceable,” siding with Manchester City in a legal dispute that could have significant implications for clubs throughout the division.

Manchester City, which had been blocked…
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed that Kai Havertz suffered his season-ending hamstring injury while attempting to block a shot during a training session. Havertz’s finishing, work rate, and suitability for the centre-forward role have been questioned this season, but his availability has been one of his key strengths.
