AZ Alkmaar managerJohn van den Brom says that there is no truth in the speculation linking him with a move to the Israeli outfit Maccabi Tel Aviv.


The club are without a manager and have reportedly identified van den Brom as the best possible option to lead them ahead.

The 29-year old Vardy is believed to be interested in remaining at the club, frustrating Wenger’s hope of landing the joint second highest goal scorer last season at the Emirates while adding a younger player in Janssen along with him.    Continue reading →
