Will Özil Leave Arsenal?

Özil was the driving force behind Arsenal's title push, using his uncanny ability to spot that killer pass to split the defence which earned him 19 assists this season. This was the most in the Premier League with his closest competition six assists behind him, emphasising the talent at his disposal.


It's no wonder that a player of his calibre would want to hold off on recommitting to Arsenal. Özil is reportedly waiting till after Euro 16 to put pen to paper on any new contract, leaving Arsenal fans worldwide gasping for air at the prospect of his departure from the North London club. After a frustrating season full of inconsistency and below par performance, it does not come as a surprise that the German midfielder has one foot out the door.

Player Unrest at Everton

After Everton's horrific season under now-sacked manager Roberto Martinez, a source from within The Toffees has warned that the club may be short of key players next season. Everton were a club who were making steady progress under David Moyes and were starting to regularly finishing within the top 10. Although their first season under Martinez looked promising, things quickly went downhill after that. Now, it looks like the debacle may impact players' decisions to stay or leave.

Everton's long-time goalkeeper Tim Howard is set to finish up his 10 years at the club, while talented striker Romelu Lukaku and centre back John Stones will no doubt be targeted by other clubs. On top of that, several players will be out of contract over the English summer, including Tony Hibbert, Leon Osman, Steven Pienaar, and Darren Gibson.


There are suggestions that the number of players leaving could reach the double digits, which would be disastrous for the Merseysiders.

Ibrahimovic the Great

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a name affiliated with greatness, requiring no introduction, but it doesn't hurt to revisit his illustrious career. The Swedish striker has represented some of the world's biggest clubs including AC Milan and Barcelona, winning league titles in their respective countries. At his current club Paris Saint-Germain, Zlatan is the all-time top goal scorer, leading the French spenders to four consecutive titles from four attempts.


Zlatan is now reported to be leaving PSG and is rumoured to be heading to the Premier League. Manchester United and West Ham have been linked to the iconic figure as they fight off interest from former club, Milan, and a host of other interested parties.

Reporter: Who will win the World Cup playoff?
Zlatan: Only God knows
Reporter: It's kind of hard to ask him
Zlatan: Why? You're looking at him now

Hopefully the Premier League will be able to witness perfection personified if Zlatan Ibrahimovic graces the league with his presence.

Mourinho to Man United?

Since José Mourinho's departure from Chelsea, the Portuguese manager has been linked with a move to Manchester United, who have had a poor season under manager Louis van Gaal. Although the Dutchman has another season remaining on his contract, The Premier Hub's sources suggest the club is likely to cut his time short.

Mourinho would undoubtedly be a desirable and interesting choice for United, given their desperation to return to winning ways, which the manager has proven he is capable of, time and time again. Mourinho has also been linked to powerhouse European clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and AS Roma, but it is understood that he is keen to either manage in the EPL or in the La Liga.

No contracts or deals have been forged yet, but whatever the outcome, The Premier Hub can assure that José will continue his laundry basket ways.

Terry Remaining at Chelsea?

With a career marked with both greatness and controversy, John Terry's time at Stamford Bridge seemed to be coming to an end. After 18 years the Chelsea captain announced his intentions to leave the club at 35 years of age. The fairy tale ending was however cut short by a foul leading to a red card two games before the season ended.


During his captaincy, Terry has lead Chelsea to:
- 4 premier League Titles
- 1 UEFA Champions League Win
- 4 F.A Cup Wins
- 3 League Cups
Despite all his achievements, Chelsea officials have opted to cancel Terry's farewell celebrations. This has sparked rumours that Terry may remain at the club for another 12 months. 

There has been no official announcement as of yet by Chelsea or Terry of his current status with the club. 

Do you think Terry will remain at Stamford Bridge? Is he settling for a quiet retirement with no fanfare? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
