Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Kevin Doyle is considering a move to MLS side Colorado Rapids, .
The 31 year old has fallen down the pecking order at the Championship club, and is set to move on when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Prior to his move to Molineux, the Republic of Ireland international spent four seasons at Reading, and was part of the Royals’ squad that won promotion to the Premier League in 2006.

Krzysztof Piatek has joined Hertha Berlin on a long-term contract from AC Milan just a year after moving to the Rossoneri, the Bundesliga club have confirmed.
The Poland striker made the switch to Milan in January 2019 after spending seven months with Genoa, for who he scored 19 goals in 21 appearances.
Piatek continued his fine form at Milan initially, scoring a further nine Serie A goals and drawing comparisons with compatriot Robert Lewandowski.

Liverpool
Liverpool are, of course, going through an extremely rough season. A year ago, it would ve been hard to believe that last season s runners-up in both the Premier League and the Champions League, not to mention the winners of both domestic cups in England, would be here at this point, but there you have it the Merseysiders are very likely to miss out on th…

Despite taking seven points from first four matches, Republic of Ireland sit outside the qualifying berths and they are well aware a win over Poland is a must if they are to remain in the hunt for a place at the tournament finals. The group leaders have so far been thoroughly impressive and they can make a huge step towards Euro 2016 by winning in Dublin.
Following the disappointing exit from the Euro 2012, Republic of Ireland are determined to reach the second successive European Championship finals and improve on their last performance. The Irish had been placed into one of the strongest groups, but they, nonetheless, enjoyed a near-perfect start to the qualifying campaign. Back to back wins over Georgia and Gibraltar were followed by a 1-1 draw in Germany, so Martin O Neill …

Martial has been linked with a move away after his agent last month revealed the 22-year-old was ready to leave in search of more opportunities.
The France forward grew frustrated towards the end of the 2017-18 campaign after finding his chances limited following the arrival of Alexis Sanchez in January.

AS Monaco are close to signing Claudio Marchisio, according to .
The 33-year-old midfielder spent last season with Zenit St Petersburg. Before that, he was a Juventus player for 13 years, making 389 appearances and scoring 37 goals in all competitions for the Serie A champions. As he is a free agent at the moment, he is able to join a club on a free transfer at any moment, regardless of transfer windows.
Monaco have already made 10 new additions to the squad this summer, and Marchisio would be the final touch for the project coach Leonardo Jardim is overseeing. His most expensive signings in the window that has just closed are striker Wissam Ben Yeder from Sevilla for €40 million, and winger Gelson Martins from Atletico Madrid, who already spent the second half of 201…
France midfielder Florent Malouda escaped what seemed a certain red card to score twice as Chelsea got their Premier League title bid back on track with a resounding 5-0 win at bottom club Portsmouth here on Wednesday.
Carlo Ancelotti s side were leading through the first of Didier Drogba s two goals at Fratton Park when Malouda was let off with a caution after elbowing Portsmouth defender Ricardo Rocha, leaving the Portuguese international with a suspected fractured cheekbone.
Malouda took full advantage of his reprieve by netting two goals in the space of ten second half minutes as Chelsea reduced Manchester United s lead at the top of the table to a single point.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich had demanded a response from his team after last week s Champions …

Diego Simeone believes Atletico Madrid have enough depth to cope with some impending fixture congestion as they prepare for the first leg of their Copa del Rey fourth-round tie with Reus Deportiu.
The trip to Catalunya will be the first in a sequence of six games in the space of 20 days, which includes an important Champions League clash with Benfica.
