      “I worked for them maybe 15 years solid – but it’s more like 20 years.
      “They’ve been great for me, gave me the weekends to look forward to, the buzz of live football.”
      Souness, who won five league titles and three European Cups as a Liverpool player, was then quizzed on whether he will miss the job.

      Asked if he will miss Sky, he added: “Yes. But I’m talking to other people and we’ll go again. There’s life in the old dog yet.”
      Souness’ final appearance on Sky came in a breathtaking 4-3 win for his old club Liverpool over another of his former sides Tottenham.
      Giving his goodbye speech to colleagues and the viewers, he said: “I’m going to miss you guys, the guys behind the scenes, our makeup girl, I’ll miss you all.
      “You know, for me, I decided that football management wasn’t for me anymore. I had the wrong temperament for it, the wrong personality.
      “And then I was given the opportunity to do this and it’s been magnificent. It’s just been the most fantastic time for me, because I love football, I care about football and I worry about it going forward.
      “But in Sky’s hands, it’s in good hands, safe hands, and I think over the years we’ve created a Premier League with great detail and I think we look after football very well.”
      Souness is aiming to raise £1.1million for DEBRA, a nod to the number 11 he wore during his playing days. To sponsor him, visit: https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/fundraising/debraswim More

      And the Spaniard, 18, remains the Gunners’ top priority as they seek to bolster their options on the right side of their back line.
      However, they are already lining up an alternative if a deal cannot be struck with Valladolid – with Borussia Dortmund in contention to hijack the deal.
      According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Castagne is the back-up target if a Fresneda transfer falls through.
      He claims talks have started between Arsenal and Leicester over a possible switch.

      The reports also states that “things could move quickly” if Arteta’s men decide to bring in the Belgium international.
      Castagne, 27, was a part of the Leicester side relegated down to the Championship on the final day of the Premier League season.

      A 2-1 win over West Ham failed to keep them up as Everton beat Bournemouth 1-0 to clinch safety at the expense of Dean Smith’s men.
      A host of Leicester players are now expected to depart the King Power Stadium following their drop down to the second tier.

      The Blues had the option to make the forward’s move permanent but new manager Mauricio Pochettino opted against it amid a major squad overhaul at Stamford Bridge.
      According to the Daily Mail, the Portugal international is still set to leave Atletico due to his strained relationship with Simeone.
      And the 23-year-old hinted that Turkey could be his next destination after linking up with Galatasaray on social media.
      And the Turkish champions’ president Dursun Ozbek strongly suggested a deal could be on the cards.

      Ozbek told Mundo Deportivo: “The fact that Joao Felix is following Galatasaray shows how important Galatasaray is.”
      Felix has fallen out of favour in Madrid but Atletico are still not going to let him go on the cheap.

      Therefore, another loan deal appears likelier as Atleti are keen to recoup a lion share of the £113million they splashed for him in 2019.
      That is despite CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin strongly hinting recently that the ex-Benfica star will be leaving Atletico.

      Gil Marin said: “Felix is the biggest bet the club has ever made.
      “I think he’s a high-performance player, one of the best in the world, but, for reasons that it’s not worth naming now, the relationship between him and the coach is not good, nor is his motivation.
      “I would love for it to continue, but that is not the player’s intention.” More
