It's no secret I like my teams to attack, I love my teams to score goals.

"That is sometimes misconstrued as me just playing one way, but the reason I want my team to play that way is because I love winning things and that is what I want to do here.

"When you look at what the club has achieved in recent times, it's an outstanding feat to be where we are right now.

"Other clubs that have won promotion have struggled to stay in the league, but in a short space of time we're back in Europe and competing for honours, which is a great credit to everyone involved.

"I get a sense that the club wants more and that's certainly what I want, so I think it's a really exciting time.

"I'm honoured and I'm humbled, but more importantly I'm determined to make sure this football club takes its rightful place."

The only World Cup winner to play for Crystal Palace, Steve Mandanda, has retired at the age of 40.

The goalkeeper played for the Eagles ten times during the 2016/17 season and then won the World Cup with France the following summer.

Leaving south London for Marseille and Rennes, his contract at the latter expired on June 30.

In an interview with L'Equipe, Mandanda said: "I needed to take my time to accept it, first of all, because it's not easy, but yes, I'm stopping.

"I had a long period of reflection because I had a lot of calls, but I said no each time."

Former Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara is set to return to Barcelona's bench.

The two-time Champions League winner with Bayern Munich and Barcelona left the Reds last summer and announced his retirement as a player.

He later joined Hansi Flick's coaching staff, but only briefly as he reportedly had to return to England to resolve tax issues.

He's now been spotted back at Barca's training ground, and leading Catalan outlet Mundo Deportivo say he's set to sign a contract that will see him work as a liaison between Flick and the squad, and also between the first team and La Masia.

Lukasz Fabianski has re-joined West Ham just three months after being allowed to leave for nothing.

The vastly experienced Pole saw his contract expire on June 30 without a new offer from the Hammers after 216 appearances in their colours.

Yet seemingly without an offer from elsewhere throughout the summer transfer window, he's now opted to return.

“I’m really, really, really happy to be back because this Club obviously means a lot for me and the people at this Club as well," he said.

"Seeing them again, it felt nice and beautiful.

“I’m here to support, to keep the standards high.

"For sure, I’ll continue to work the way I’ve always been doing, which is always hopefully at a good level but, at the same time, I understand that my role is completely different.”

West Ham signed Mads Hermansen from Leicester as their new No.1 in the summer, and they also have Alphonse Areola as another option in goal.

Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri has been sent a message by Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy.

The Thai businessman remains in charge of the Championship side despite their financial struggles and multiple transfer embargoes.

Yet despite the pressure from the football association, /is yet to sell, and Nandy has reminded him that regulator is on the way which could have the power to remove him.

She said at a Culture, Media and Sport committee: "If necessary, the football regulator can intervene in order to remove an owner who is threatening the future of the club.

"And I would say, in relation to Sheffield Wednesday, the Government's view is very strongly that football club owners are custodians of those clubs, and they have a responsibility to hand them on in better shape to the next owner and to the next generation of fans.

"In Sheffield Wednesday's case, I am really extremely concerned about the current ownership and the lack of willingness to sell the club and invest in the club, something I've been discussing very closely with local MPs.

"The Government is keeping a very close eye on it and our message to those owners is that change is coming."

Newcastle's Nick Woltemade has been defended after he was booed by Germany fans in a 3-1 win over Northern Ireland.

The £69million signing from Stuttgart assisted Serge Gnabry's seventh minute opener but otherwise had a quiet evening up until his 61st minute substitution.

His removal was met by some boos and whistles, and he was later defended by teammates post-match.

45-time German international Marcell Jansen has since given his take, having been live at the Rhein Energie stadium in Cologne to witness the response.

"That was a moment when I have to say I was ashamed in the stadium when he was booed," he said.

"The boy played for Bremen, came to Stuttgart on a free transfer, delivered a sensational performance in the U21 team, he's one of us.

"And because they're getting 90million [euros] for a player and then overpaying him… the boy can't help it."

Chelsea legend John Terry has spoken to talkSPORT's Ian Abrahams about his former club and manager Jose Mourinho.

The Blues haven't won the Premier League since 2018, a year after Terry left, but expectations are high that they could challenge recent winners Liverpool and Manchester City.

Giving his take, Terry said: "I think we always go for it and any big club has to have that as their mindset at the start of the season.

"In terms of Enzo Maresca saying that [they'll compete] there are teams with more experience so we'll quietly sit below those boys and keep putting in performances.

"We've had a good start to the season with seven points out of nine.

"I think it will be tough for us to go and win it this year, we have a really good young exciting squad, are we ready now?

He is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court tomorrow 11 September."

Elliot Anderson has given Thomas Tuchel a major selection headache ahead of next summer's World Cup.

The Nottingham Forest star put in man-of-the-match performances against Andorra and Serbia during the international break - he was even given a 9/10 in Adrian Durham's England ratings.

The 22-year-old has staked a massive claim on a place in the starting XI in what was his first two appearances for the Three Lions.

Despite being Tuchel's best player, former Scotland star Ally McCoist was not so sure he would start.

He told talkSPORT Breakfast: “I'm not necessarily thinking he would start if England were playing in the World Cup final tomorrow.”

When pushed at why, McCoist added: “Bellingham would certainly come into the team.

I like the way they run in behind, I like the way they direct with the ball, that they'll go at players. 

“The way they played tonight, I saw a bit of freedom.”
