UEFA president calls out Guardiola

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has told Pep Guardiola to stop complaining about fixture congestion.

New Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has refused to rule out the prospect of signing Manchester City centre-back Taylor Harwood-Bellis in this summer's transfer window.

It means that Kompany has the challenge of rebuilding the squad, all while trying to deliver promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking. The Turf Moor outfit have been linked with signing several players in recent weeks, not least City ace Harwood-Bellis.
