No complaining about officiating or scrapping for points – Fulham can reflect on a job well done this season

Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season. The 26-year-old centre-back has turned down Fulham’s latest proposal and has informed the club he will not be renewing terms. The former Manchester City defender had previously rejected a new deal last season, and was the subject of two bids from Monaco last summer. Fulham had always aspired to retain the player for the long term and negotiations resumed again this season. However Tosin, who has received interest from West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur among other clubs, has now...

Warren Zaire-Emery has signed a new Paris Saint-Germain contract to keep him at the club until 2029.

Paris-Saint Germain have won a record-extending 12th Ligue 1 title after Monaco were defeated 3-2 by Lyon. Luis Enrique’s side looked like they had to wait to clinch the title after they drew 3-3 against Le Havre at the Parc des Princes on Saturday.

Premier League clubs have agreed to push ahead with plans for a hard spending cap as part of the “squad cost” rules that will come into effect at the start of the 2025-26 season.

Fulham have been handed a suspended six-month ban from registering academy players and fined £75,000 after accepting they breached Premier League rules regarding settlement payments made to a grassroots club over former player Fabio Carvalho. Carvalho, who joined Liverpool in the summer of 2022 and is currently on loan at Hull City, spent three years at Balham FC, formerly known as Balham Blazers FC, before joining Fulham’s academy in 2014. As a result of leaving Balham for Fulham, the west London club entered into a ‘heads of terms’ agreement with the amateur side in...

Barcola was developed at Lyon and signed as a wildcard by PSG, but has established himself as a key member of their front line
