The future stars of LaLiga will once again take

One of its main themes has already been set, even if the summer transfer window has not yet begun. Although the Middle Eastern kingdom of Saudi Arabia has never been a popular destination for footballers, it is keen to change that. After signing Cristiano Ronaldo in December and snagging Karim Benzema after he left Real Madrid, the Saudi Pro League is attempting to get some additional high-profile athletes. In a trend which bears a striking resemblance to the Chinese Super League, which attracted

In the high-stakes ICC finals, India's opening bowler is a crucial role that demands skill, precision, and nerves of steel. The responsibility often falls upon a talented and experienced paceman to set the tone for the team. With a rich history of fast-bowling greats, India has been fortunate to produce exceptional talents who have excelled on the grandest stage. This opening bowler embodies aggression, speed, and swing, wreaking havoc on opposition batsmen with deadly accuracy. Their ability to generate early breakthroughs and provide

Karim Benzema has become the latest soccer star to move to Saudi Arabia after signing with the national champions Al Ittihad on Tuesday. Benzema, who left Real Madrid after 14 years and 648 games, is set to play against his former Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Al Nassr in January. Al Ittihad posted a video on Twitter of Benzema signing a contract until 2026, although the club did not disclose any financial details. “I am excited to see you in Jeddah,” the

An impressive debut season with Chelsea has been rewarded with a place for Perisset on the 26-player list named by manager Herve Renard on Tuesday, with the squad due to be cut to 23 before the tournament group stage begins. The 28-year-old joined the Blues last summer from Bordeaux in her native France. During her first season in England, she contributed to our fourth consecutive Women’s Super League title and third successive FA Cup triumph. In their latest preparations for the tournament, France

Steph joined Arsenal in 2020 and made her debut as a substitute in our UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain in August 2020. The 29-year-old Australian international has since gone on to make 74 appearances for the club, scoring three goals. Steph played an integral role in our 2022/23 campaign, making 32 appearances and providing four assists and one goal. In addition to her usual role on the left side of defence, Steph also stepped into central defence on a number

Georgia Wareham fancied her chances of a Test debut. As the only leg-spinner selected in Australia's 14-player Ashes squad that toured England in 2019, the sole Test match of the series shaped as the perfect time for Wareham to make her debut in the longest format. After all, the then 20-year-old had done nothing but impress since her international debut in both one-day and T20 internationals nine months earlier. But things didn't go to plan for the young Victorian. The multi-format nature of

They might be the geopolitical superpower of international cricket, but India have endured 10 ICC global tournaments stretching across more than 12 years without any silverware to show for their efforts. Their chance to end that lean streak begins on Wednesday at The Oval where they meet Australia in the second iteration of the World Test Championship Final, before they host the ICC ODI World Cup on home turf later this year. It was the previous occasion India served as co-host of that

The Australian team made a last-minute addition to their support staff ahead of the World Test Championship final against India, as they appointed former England head coach Andy Flower as consultant. Flower joined the side ahead of the clash that begins on Wednesday at The Oval; the former Zimbabwe captain had most recently been the head coach of Indian Premier League team Lucknow Super Giants in the recently-concluded edition. Flower had coached the England team from 2009-2014; he is, however, not expected to

The 44-year-old Swiss manager, who was in charge of Bundesliga rivals Bayer Leverkusen until last October, has signed a contract until 2026. "He's a young coach, but one with lots of experience. He plays the style of football we want to see here," said Roland Virkus, Gladbach's managing director for sport. "Seoane has been successful with several clubs over the past few years," Virkus added. He notably led Leverkusen to the Champions League group stage after finishing third in the Bundesliga 2021-2022 campaign,

Callum Wilson has been named FUN88 Player of the Month for May, as voted for by the fans of Newcastle United. This marks the second time in as many months for Wilson earning the award, making it back-to-back triumphs after Alexander Isak became the last non-Wilson man to claim the little in-house accolade back in March. Not happy with scoring eight goals in April, Wilson kept his fuego form active for four more weeks through May scoring three more goals while assisting a

Liverpool are to pay the buyout clause in the Argentina international’s contract and will then turn to other targets to continue their midfield rebuild. Mac Allister is due to have a medical in the next 48 hours. The buyout clause in his contract, signed weeks before he went to the World Cup, is significantly less than the £60m that has been mentioned. That deal has two seasons to run, with an additional one-year option for the club. Source: Liverpool

The Ecuadorian, who will join Chelsea after his 18th birthday, has already built a reputation in South America as one of the brightest and most creative young talents around, thanks to his combination of skilful dribbling along with the vision and technique to open up defences with his passing.

The Brazil international enjoyed a fine first campaign as a Red, following his move from Real Madrid, and been a real hit in his maiden campaign in England.

The home fans were able to show their appreciation when affording him a standing ovation, when he was replaced in the final league game, against

UEFA's Technical Observer panel has named Sevilla's Jesús Navas as the 2022/23 UEFA Europa League Player of the Season. The 37-year-old's form has been up there with anything from his illustrious career and his season culminated with the wing-back scooping an astonishing fourth UEFA Cup/Europa League title. Navas played a pivotal role in Sevilla's 1-1 draw against Roma in the final, producing a teasing cross that Gianluca Mancini could only divert past his own goalkeeper to restore parity, before his side went on

Goretzka is under increasing pressure from supporters following a challenging campaign under Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel and the club’s interest in a new defensive midfielder may hurt his chances of playing regularly next season. Goretzka has been the subject of repeated links to United over the last couple of years but the 28-year-old signed a five-year contract in 2021, of which he has three years remaining. Now, amid the uncertainty over his role with the Bavarian powerhouse, it is being claimed that

Celta went into the final day one point above the relegation zone but Veiga, 21, struck just before half-time, then fired in his 11th goal of the season. Spain forward Ansu Fati, 20, pulled one back with a late header but Celta held on to secure a 13th-place finish. Real Valladolid were relegated after a 0-0 draw at home to Getafe saw them stay in the bottom three. They had only been promoted last season and will now return to Spain's second tier
