Image rights: commons.wikimedia.org 14 years after leaving, Ashley Young is open to the possibility of returning to his boyhood club. Young, who has played for Aston Villa, Manchester United, Inter Milan and represented England in two major tournaments since leaving Watford in 2006, is open to ending his glittering career in the same place it started. In a recent interview with Sky Sports where Young was asked if he would consider returning to Vicarage Road, he responded by saying : "It would be a difficult decision to make." Reports suggest that Watford are already in contact with Young's representatives as they aim to bolster their squad after making an immediate return to the Premier League.

Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma has been linked with numerous Premier League clubs for the past season and a half, with Aston Villa becoming the latest to join the race for the Malian's signature.

I plan to make this blog an intriguing insight as to what I am currently thinking about football and perhaps even some different sporting events. I wanted to do this blog as it's an interesting way to see how football and myself will develop over the coming years and if I'm lucky, will hopefully lead me into the Sports Journalism industry. I thought now would be a good time to begin this blog as the 2018 World Cup in Russia has just ended and the new 18/19 season starts in just under a month, giving me plenty to write about. The past few weeks have been interesting. The World Cup has produced many talking points: Germany's shock group stage exit, France's second World Cup trophy, and of course, English euphoria and heartbreak.

Shockwaves weren't sent through the world in just football though, tennis ...
