Rome has a new emperor... Jose Mourinho was soaking in the crowd during Roma's trophy parade on Thursday night. Thankfully no one was as drunk as Jack Grealish was this time around.

With rumours of Sadio Mane leaving Liverpool for Bayern Munich this summer, Tottenham's Harry Kane has emerged as a target for the Reds.

A good contender for the craziest transfer rumour of the window, and we're only in May...

Are they just making up awards now? Tottenham have been awarded the 'Most Improbable Comeback award' after their 3-2 win over Leicester back in January. Worthy of a trophy parade Spurs fans?

Someone hide this from Yaya Toure... the Ivorian left Manchester City angered that the club didn't buy him a birthday cake. Now they've gone and made one for the entire Premier League trophy!

It turns out 86 points might be the magic number for winning a league title in Europe. Unless you're in the Premier League of course, then it'd only earn you third...
