BALE’S PRE MSTATS GAMES 146 GOALS 42 ASSISTS 20 TOTTENHAM have completed one of the signings of the year! It’s finally happened! After seven years away, GARETH BALE has re-signed for the club he made his name at on a season-long loan! MATCH takes a look at what the megastar will bring to the club, and his jaw-dropping career so far… WHY RETURN NOW? Bale’s been linked with a move away from Real for ages now – and almost completed a move to China last year! His relationship with Zinedine Zidane has totally broken down, so there’s no future for him there, and this is a sick chance to play regular footy ahead of next year’s Euros – and become the main man again at a club he loves! BACK…

NEWBALANCE’s new cleats might be modelled by established Prem winger Mane, but they’re actually meant to mark the moment when a young player breaks through and starts to create their own hype! Maybe Sadio should lend them to his Reds teammates Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones instead? NEY-MORE NIKE! PUMA’s starting XI has just got loads stronger with the news that NEYMAR has left Nike to join the mega brand! Here are some of the most iconic Neymar Nike boots… OUSADIA ALEGRIA 2016 These jaw-dropping boots were off the charts! WRITTEN IN THE STARS 2017 These were his first signature Mercurial Vapors! MEU JOGO 2018 Neymar wore these at the 2018World Cup! NJR SILENCIO 2019 This boot was to say ‘Shhh’ to all the haters! SADIO’S SNEAK PEEK! We’d been…

12 RASHFORD Club: Man. United 2019-20 goals: 17 Mins per goal: 156 Rash might not be a natural goalscorer, but he’s proven that he can find the back of the net when given the chance! He’ll be competing with Anthony Martial to be United’s top goalscorer! 11 JIMENEZ Club: Wolves 2019-20 goals: 17 Mins per goal: 191 Jimenez has shown he’s more than worth the £30 million that Wolves paid to sign him permanently last summer! He’s one of the deadliest hitmen in the PL and could fire his side into Europe! 10 MANE Club: Liverpool 2019-20 goals: 18 Mins per goal: 153 Last year wasn’t Sadio’s most prolific season since he joined Liverpool, but he still hit 18 goals! The speedster showed off his top finishing ability in The…

EDUARDO CAMAVINGA FA CTFILE Club: Rennes Age: 17 Position: Midfielder The teenage sensation is Rennes’ youngest player in history, and recently made his senior France debut to become the youngest Les Bleus star since 1914! He’s got a huge future ahead of him, and we reckon this will be the last season at his boyhood club before a massive move in the summer of 2021! CRISTIANO RONALDO FACTFILE Club: Juventus Age: 35 Position: Forward Cristiano turns 36 halfway through the 2020-21 season, so it’s incredible that he’s still one of the greatest players on the planet! He’s just missed out on the Serie A Golden Boot in the past two seasons since he joined Juventus, but he’ll be desperate to put that right this campaign! IVAN RAKITIC FACTFILE Club: Sevilla…

JAMES RODRIGUEZ MF ★ EVERTON £7.5 MILLION Rodriguez is quickly becoming a must-own player and, with Brighton up next, he’ll fancy his chances of picking up more points! MOHAMED SALAH MF ★ LIVERPOOL £12.1 MILLION Loads of FPL bosses picked Sadio Mane in their team, but they might consider spending £0.2m more on getting Mo after his sick start! CALLUM WILSON FW ★ NEWCASTLE £6.5 MILLION Wilson is one of those rare gems – a £6.5m striker who’s playing regularly and scoring goals. Get him in ahead of Burnley at home!

FACTPACK Age: 29 Country: Spain Position: Midfielder Top skill: Passing THIAGO’S 2019-20 STATS GAMES 34 GOALS 3 ASSISTS 2 1 HE’S A BALLER! Thiago isn’t the sort of midfielder who’s gonna grab double figures for goals and assists, but you can’t just measure quality with stats. He uses his technique, passing and vision to totally dictate games from midfield! 2 HE’SAWINNER! On top of his epic technical ability, he’s also got the mentality of an elite winner! At Barcelona he won two La Ligas and the Champions League, before joining Bayern and winning seven league titles in a row – plus last season’s CL trophy! 3 HE’S A BARGAIN! The 29-year-old has at least another three seasons at the top of his game, so Liverpool have got an absolute steal at just £25…

REDS RAID BUNDESLIGA! All of the Liverpool talk this summer was about Thiago Alcantara joining the club, but Jurgen Klopp is also chasing another Bundesliga baller – Denis Zakaria! The solid Borussia M’Gladbach defensive midfielder is rated at £37 million by his club, but they’d rather not sell him at all. We reckon this only has a chance of happening if The Reds let Georginio Wijnaldum move to Barcelona! LACA LOOKING FOR EXIT? He might have scored in Arsenal’s first two PL games in 2020-21, but rumours about Alexandre Lacazette moving to Atletico Madrid are still flying around! The Gunners are understood to want £37 million for the 29-year-old striker! JOSE DEMANDS DIAS! Jose Mourinho still hasn’t finished in the transfer market! Gossips reckon the Tottenham manager rates 23-year-old centre-back…

TEEMUPUKKI NORWICH Pukki has fond memories of his last season in the Champ, and a return of 11 top-flight goals for a promoted side isn’t bad either! Now that Daniel Farke has added Jordan Hugill to his squad, Pukki will have to make sure he’s as good as he was two years ago! IVAN TONEY BRENTFORD It’s a tough ask to fill the boots of Ollie Watkins – but we think Toney is the man to do it! We know the 24-year-old can bag tons of goals in League One after hitting 24 in 2019-20, but can The Bees’ striker make the step up to England’s second tier? MATCH says yes! LEWISGRABBAN NOTT’M FOREST Grabban became the first player to reach the 20-goal landmark for Forest in a sing leseason…

WHO AM I? Can you work out the mystery Bundesliga hero from these three clues below? My side reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2019-20! I’m 5ft 9in and I’m well-known for my lightning speed! I spent two years playing in the PremierLeague for Everton before joining RB! 5 QUESTIONS ON… ERLING HAALAND 1 How old is the Norway striker – 19, 20 or 21? 2 Which Austrian club did Borussia Dortmund sign the hitman from earlier this year? 3 True or False? Haaland hit his first senior goal for Norway in September 2020! 4 How many goals did the Dortmund superstar score in the Bundesliga last season – seven, 13, 14, 15 or 23? 5 What number does the goal machine wear on the back of his…

SIGNING FORUNITED! DONNY SAYS: “I think I’ve made a really good decision to join this amazing club! I had a really good meeting with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. We spoke about football things and the club, and I always make decisions based on my feelings – and my feeling was good!” HISPLAYING STYLE! DONNY SAYS: “I’m a midfielder that likes to make runs and get into the opponent’s box, score goals and get assists. I also run a lot as well!” JOINING THEPREM! DONNY SAYS: “I grew up watching a lot of Premier League football. A lot of Dutch players are now in the league, and it’s the biggest competition in the world. When people talk about it, they say it’s a strong league – I want to improve my physicality…

COVER STAR BOOST! PSG’s Kylian Mbappe hasn’t just been rewarded for another wicked season by being named as the new game’s cover star, he’s also got an amazing 90-rated card with unreal stats like 96 pace and 91 dribbling. Hero! LEO LEADS THE WAY! For the second year in a row, Lionel Messi leads the rankings, but this year he’s seen his rating drop by one! Cristiano Ronaldo is just behind Leo again with a 92 OVR, but he still leads on shooting and pace. It’s Leo’s 95 rating for dribbling that’s gonna make him unplayable this year! HEROIC HAALAND! Erling Haaland started FIFA 20 with a rating of 73, but he’s flown up the rankings with an OVR of 84 on the new game. Only five players were given…

Arsenal Third Shirt 2020-21 The colours on The Gunners' third shirt represent the ones you'll see at their Emirates Stadium for a night match – the navy blue is the night sky and the orange pops are the stadium lights! adidas even released a short film starring Mikel Arteta and Vivianne Miedema to celebrate the launch of the new jersey! Price: £64.95 adidas.co.uk Real Madrid Third Shirt 2020-21 Just like on their home and away shirts for 2020-21, the Spanish champions have pink all over their third jersey, while the cool graphic covering the front of the shirt is inspired by tiles found in the city of Madrid.
