Chelsea flop Charly Musonda already goes AWOL after signing for new club
Just when it looked as though Chelsea flop Charly Musonda was finally ready to revive his once promising career, the Belgian midfielder has seemingly gone AWOL. Musonda was once deemed one of the Blues' most exciting wonderkids and appeared destined for the big time. However, he never did manage to fulfil the hype and ultimately flopped in remarkable fashion. The attacking midfielder finally saw his decade-long stint at Stamford Bridge come to an end this summer as the west Londoners released him without ever affording him a Premier League start. The 25-year-old then received a career lifeline from Zulte Waregem in his homeland after catching the eye during a trial, but it seems he's gone on to throw that opportunity back in the Belgian club's face. READ MORE: Thomas Tuchel 'fears repeating Romelu Lukaku mistake' with Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar According to Zulte Waregem's chief executive Eddy Cordier, there's currently no trace of Musonda, who has evidently opted to … [Read more...] about Chelsea flop Charly Musonda already goes AWOL after signing for new club

Mario Gotze had the fortune to play under three of the the best managers in world football during his time with both Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich - but he thinks one stands above the rest. Germany's 2014 World Cup final hero broke through under Jurgen Klopp at Dortmund back in 2009, going on to win two Bundesliga titles under his tutelage before pushing through a move to rivals Bayern. At Bayern he made 114 appearances under Pep Guardiola where he would win three consecutive league titles and three domestic cups - then rejoining Dortmund where he briefly played under Thomas Tuchel .

Music groups with ties to football clubs and how they began – from Oasis to Blur
The world's of football and music have increasingly crossed paths in recent decades with ties between clubs and musical acts continuing to emerge. These ties have come in a range of different forms, from former Oasis members Liam and Noel Gallagher being seen in the crowd at Manchester City matches to Ajax having a kit inspired by reggae legend Bob Marley. However, it is sometimes overlooked how such ties between football clubs and music groups began in the first place. With that in mind, here Daily Star Sport looks at four musical acts with ties to football clubs and how their relationships began. Manchester City and Oasis It's perhaps no surprise Oasis and City have a strong connection, given the band's original members all hailed from Manchester and the Gallagher brothers are both die-hard City supporters. During their heyday, the band performed iconic shows at City's old Maine Road home, with Liam since putting on his own shows at the Etihad Stadium. Both Liam … [Read more...] about Music groups with ties to football clubs and how they began – from Oasis to Blur
