Evra interviewed by SkyBumped into Neymar on the gridPair shared a warm embraceWHAT HAPPENED?

Sky Sports presenter Martin Brundle spotted Evra on the grid before the first race of the new Formula One season and approached him for an interview. He was quickly joined, surprisingly, by Neymar, and the pair shared a hug. It won't have been difficult for the Brazil icon to notice the Manchester United legend, given that he has decided to wear an all-pink suit for the race.

Evra revealed that his pink suit is "hated" by his wife, but he said that he "loves" it, and he also called Neymar, now on the books at Al-Hilal, his "brother". The pair have similarly eccentric personalities, and appear to be good friends.

gettyWHAT NEXT?

The Bahrain F1 opens up the season, and last term's champion Max Verstappen will be out to again dominate the grid. British drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will hope to have something to say about it, though.

da jogodeouro： Leeds United are beginning to find their feet under Daniel Farke, with one loss in their last eight Championship games representing the fact that the former Norwich City boss has turned things around after a disappointing start. Those at Elland Road will be hoping for that run to continue, and for things to get even better, too, especially as the fixtures start coming thick and fast.

da brdice： If Farke is to take the Whites into the play-off places this season, then having a full squad to choose from could be crucial, making Leeds' most recent injury scare all the more frustrating.

Who is injured for Leeds?

Although the Whites took all three points against QPR on Wednesday, it wasn't the perfect evening for those in Yorkshire, who watched on as Farke was handed yet another injury blow. The manager is already without Stuart Dallas, Wilfried Gnnto and Djed Spence, and could be without Jamie Shackleton, who missed the game against QPR due to a shoulder injury. Now, Farke may have to cope without Jaidon Anthony in the short term, who was forced off in his side's mid-week fixture.

The Leeds boss confirmed that Anthony' hurt his ankle in the second half during his post-match press conference when talking about the summer signing, saying:

“Good. No pre-season with us. While away since he started the last time with Bournemouth. Solid first half. Involved in many good scenes. Rolled his ankle a little and felt some pain in the second half.”

It does remain to be seen just how long the winger could be out for, but Leeds will be hoping for a swift return for their loan signing. Anthony, perhaps more than anyone, will be frustrated with the injury, having made his first start for the recently relegated club, only for a roll of the ankle to cut things short in the second half.

How good is Jaidon Anthony?

On loan from Bournemouth, Anthony finally impressed to earn a first start at Leeds. It's been coming, too, with his goal against Watford in a recent 3-0 victory showing a glimpse of what he is capable of. It is also worth remembering that the winger is still just 23 years of age and could, therefore, only improve from here.

The Bournemouth loanee may have to continue the battle for a starting place when fit, however, with the likes of Dan James, Crysencio Summerville, and Gnonto all gunning for a place on the wing. At the very least, Anthony has given Farke food for thought regarding his team selection, though.

The 23-year-old has been handed some significant praise in the past, including from former Bournemouth manager Scott Parker, who said, via The Bournemouth Echo:

"Jaidon Anthony is a player that goes under the radar massively to be quite honest with you. What he does for this team is nothing short of incredible at times really. Because in possession I think we see his quality, his calmness, his silkiness, when he makes good decisions at times.

"But the stuff that goes unnoticed is probably the defensive side, what he brings to this team and what he brings to it really. I thought he epitomised everything we were about (on Saturday). If there was one player you wanted to look at in terms of that, it’s probably a bit harsh on all of them really, but Jaidon was superb."

Yet to welcome a new centre-back following Jarell Quansah’s departure, Liverpool have now reportedly been offered a fresh chance to sign a Champions League-winning defender this summer.

Latest on Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak

After officially becoming the most successful club in English football history last season, Liverpool are finally acting like a king who has just taken the throne. Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes wasted no time before getting to work, instantly welcoming Jeremie Frimpong before shocking Manchester City and Bayern Munich to win the race for Florian Wirtz in record-breaking fashion.

Since then, Milos Kerkez has also arrived alongside third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman. But Liverpool are far from done. The Reds aren’t looking to relinquish their crown anytime soon, with the arrival of a new No.9 seemingly becoming the priority. And, as ever this summer, those at Anfield are in no mood to settle for anything other than top targets.

Feeling ruthless, Liverpool reportedly told Newcastle that if the door was left ajar for Alexander Isak then they will break the British transfer record for a second time to sign the Swede for £120m.

Meanwhile, if the Magpies kept the door slammed shut, then the Reds would hijack their move to sign Hugo Ekitike instead, which has proven to be the case. Fresh reports have claimed that Newcastle have dropped out of the race to sign the Frenchman, allowing the Reds to advance towards his signature.

Liverpool also make contact for "amazing" striker who scored more than Ekitike

The Reds know all about his quality.

ByTom Cunningham Jul 16, 2025

It’s an ongoing saga which will undoubtedly continue to feature plenty of twists, but even after welcoming a much-needed No.9, Liverpool could still have unfinished business this summer.

Liverpool offered chance to sign Beraldo

Away from his striker problem, Arne Slot could also do with another centre-back following Quansah’s exit and although Marc Guehi has been the name mentioned most this summer, those at Anfield have reportedly been offered a fresh alternative.

According to The Boot Room’s Graeme Bailey, Liverpool have now been offered the chance to sign Lucas Beraldo from Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The defender often found himself behind Willian Pacho in the pecking order last season and the French champions have now opened the door for his exit.

Previously dubbed “superb” by scout Jacek Kulig, Beraldo would be a suitable choice to replace Quansah this summer, especially at the right price. A Champions League winner who is still just 20 years old, the PSG man would even be an upgrade on the England U21 international out of possession and in the air.

Whether Liverpool take the opportunity to sign the Brazilian remains to be seen, however. Any potential move could still depend on whether they’re able to sign Guehi this summer.

West Brom have reportedly held talks with a player with "great personality", according to a fresh transfer rumour, but numerous other clubs are also interested.

West Brom's promotion chances

The Baggies find themselves strongly in the Championship promotion picture currently, especially after their hugely important 1-0 win at home to rivals Leeds United on Friday night. That was a result that outlined their credentials, and they sit fifth in the table heading into the New Year.

Granted, there is a 12-point gap between West Brom and second-place Ipswich Town, which is clearly a big deficit to make up between now and the end of the season, but given the level of performance from Carlos Corberan's side at the moment, it could be a surprise if they weren't in the playoff positions come the end of the season.

That has to be seen as the aim, and while there is strong competition around the top of the table, the Baggies feel well-equipped for a big second half of the campaign. One thing that could aid them greatly in their quest to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2020/21 is new signings, should Corberan want to bolster his squad between now and May. A fresh transfer story suggests that a move for an exciting young player could be on the cards.

West Brom have held talks with Dexter Lembikisa

According to TEAMtalk, West Brom have held talks with Wolves over youngster Dexter Lembikisa over a move to the Hawthorns, but aren't alone in showing an interest.

"Dexter Lembikisa is attracting a host of interest after an impressive loan spell with Rotherham United, TEAMtalk can reveal.

"After starting well properly in senior football – following a smattering of appearances for Wolves’ senior side – sources have informed TEAMtalk that his club are open to the prospect of recalling the 20-year-old and sending him higher up in the Championship. West Brom, Ipswich, Middlesbrough, Blackburn and Norwich are among those who have held talks over a prospective deal."

Lembikisa may be something of an unknown to some, but he is someone who could be a shrewd addition by West Brom in the January transfer window, providing more squad depth for Corberan.

The 20-year-old right-back is currently on loan at Rotherham United, where he has started 21 matches in the Championship this season, and he has been hailed by Wolves Under-18s manager Steve Davis in the past, who said of him:

"What he does is that he listens, he picks up things well and he has a great belief in himself. He’s got a great temperament, a great personality and he does what you want him to do. That’s a big skill to have as a kid, to follow instruction."

These attributes are things that Corberan could feel are beneficial for his Baggies side, and given Lembikisa's age, it would be encouraging to see them take a punt on him for the second half of the season. Whether that happens in January remains to be seen,so it could be one to watch.

Manchester United look unlikely to bring in high-profile reinforcements to improve one of their priority areas to strengthen in come January after recent developments.

Man Utd latest news – Defensive issues for Erik ten Hag

Despite Manchester United's poor form at times this campaign, there can be no doubt that significant injury disruption has taken its toll on Erik ten Hag as he aims to field a side capable of challenging for honours at the top end of the English game.

Negative Manchester United injury news has plagued the Dutchman's squad selection process over this term. Key man Lisandro Martinez could be out until the New Year due to suffering a recurrence of a metatarsal problem that ended his involvement in 2022/23, which has come as a major blow to Ten Hag and company.

Of course, France international Raphael Varane has also been a huge miss as well when unavailable for selection. The former Real Madrid defender has already suffered two separate knocks this campaign and only made his return to first-team involvement last weekend, where he appeared on the bench as an unused substitute away to Sheffield United in the Premier League.

Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof have all taken turns as alternating starters in central defence; however, there is a wider acknowledgment that the Red Devils have given away some cheap goals over the last few months. Maguire's Manchester United future was called into question over the summer transfer window after Ten Hag stripped the 30-year-old of the captaincy at the club and allowed him to explore a possible move to West Ham United.

Creating a storm of chaos, it would be imaginable that United may look to enter the market for further defensive reinforcements in January; however, new developments suggest that their quest to bring some much-needed quality to aid their backline may have now hit a major stumbling block.

Man Utd transfer update; Goncalo Inacio and Jean Clair-Todibo

According to an Man Utd transfer update from Football Insider reporter Pete O'Rourke, it now looks as if moves for top defensive targets Sporting CP's Goncalo Inacio and Nice's Jean Clair-Todibo are now off the table for the Red Devils due to limited resources that will leave Ten Hag unable to spend big on reinforcements in January.

The reporter states that United have abandoned huge-money moves for the pair and focus will now turn towards signing cheaper alternatives, with Club America ace Sebastian Caceres identified as a possible alternative.

Inacio or Todibo could have improved the Red Devils' solidity within their rearguard; however, they may not come cheap and the continuous unravelling of Man Utd's takeover saga at Old Trafford may need to be resolved before they can splash out on transfers. For now, Ten Hag's men will be focused on a busy run of fixtures as they look to build up ahead of steam on both domestic and European fronts.

A number of Manchester United players could be on the way out of Old Trafford over the next 12 months, and a new report has claimed one is set to depart in January.

Who could leave Man Utd?

The Red Devils moved on a number of players over the summer, whereas eight new signings were also made in a busy transfer window. However, there could be plenty of departures in 2024, with the latest on Jadon Sancho’s Man Utd future appearing to point in the direction of an exit. It has been revealed that those at Old Trafford are ready to accept an offer for the winger in the New Year, with a loan move a possibility.

Meanwhile, Anthony Martial’s future is also up in the air, with rumours suggesting he is not happy with his current role in Erik ten Hag’s side and wants to be the main man once again, which could result in a move away.

A third big earner could end up joining the attackers in potentially heading out, with GiveMeSport's Steve Bates providing a transfer update on Harry Maguire in the last 48 hours. They claimed that the defender’s agent is now actively looking for a new club.

Maguire is set to receive an extended run in Ten Hag’s side due to the ongoing injury issues, with the manager impressed with his mental strength, but the report states that the player will leave in January as he looks to protect his England career.

Harry Maguire’s Man Utd career…

Since arriving in Manchester from Leicester City back in 2019, it’s safe to say it has been an eventful period for the centre-back. In total, the 30-year-old has now made 179 appearances for Man Utd – more than any other of his previous clubs – and has scored seven times in all competitions. (Harry Maguire stats)

He was limited to just 16 Premier League appearances last season, though, but he did come in for praise from Ten Hag during the previous campaign, with the Dutchman saying:

"He was magnificent in protecting the box. He is a great player and a really good defender and we have seen how important he is for the squad.

"I am really happy for the team of course but also Harry Maguire as he came off the pitch with a clean sheet."

There has also been plenty of criticism aimed at Maguire, although England manager Gareth Southgate recently backed the defender, saying:

"But it's a joke. I've never known a player treated like he is, not by the Scottish fans but by our own commentators, pundits whatever it is. They've created something beyond anything I've ever seen. He's been an absolute stalwart in the second most successful England team in decades.

"He's been an absolutely key part of that. I've talked about the importance of our senior players, he's been crucial amongst that. Every time he goes on the field, the resilience he shows, the balls he shows is absolutely incredible. He's a top player, we are all with him and our fans were brilliant with him tonight."

When Ten Hag has all of his defensive options fit and available, though, it looks as if Maguire isn’t one of the first names on the teamsheet, reflected by the number of games he played last season, so a move away could be best for all involved.

Martin Odegaard has warned his Arsenal team-mates that Porto are likely to waste a lot of time in the second leg of their Champions League fixture.

  The high-flying Gunners suffered a shock defeat in Portugal last month in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 fixture as they went down 1-0 against Porto. Since then, the club have registered three consecutive wins in the Premier League, scoring 12 goals and conceded only twice.

  Club captain Odegaard admitted that Arsenal did have some flaws in their game in the first leg, although he claimed that they have learned from their mistakes. He also warned his team to expect Porto to waste a lot of time at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.

• WHAT MARTIN ODEGAARD SAID

  Speaking to reporters ahead of the all-important game, Odegaard said: "There are so many different things going on in each game. This game [against Porto] was one where the ball was out of play a lot and a lot of stop and start and restarts and all this. I think you saw that also against Brentford and I think we dealt with it in a brilliant way. I think that was a good practice.

  "We already showed in that game what we learned in Porto, hopefully, we can do that even better on Tuesday. First of all, we want to play our game. We don't want to focus too much on them and what they are doing. We want to play our game and that's the main thing. We had to deal with a lot of different situations, a lot of time-wasting. We had to control our emotions the whole game and I think we did that brilliantly."

  WHAT NEXT FOR ARSENAL?

  After facing the Portuguese giants in the Champions League on Tuesday, Mikel Arteta's side will next face Manchester City in a blockbuster Premier League clash after the international break on March 31.

Despite his battles with injuries, the fast bowler wants to succeed in the form of the game he considers “the pinnacle” and said he had not contemplated focusing on white-ball cricket

Alan Gardner19-May-2018Mark Wood made the choice to come early from the IPL because he believes he has “a real point to prove” in Test cricket. Despite his battles with injuries, the fast bowler wants to succeed in the form of the game he considers “the pinnacle” and said he had not contemplated focusing on white-ball cricket, where he is likely to be a key member of the side hoping to lift the World Cup on home soil next year.Having won a recall to the Test team for England’s last outing, in Christchurch at the end of March, Wood then went straight to the IPL, playing in the first match of the tournament for Chennai Super Kings. However, after returning figures of 0 for 49, he was not selected again and spent his time bowling in the nets until a call from Andrew Strauss prompted a return to Durham.Wood subsequently claimed a career-best 6 for 46 against Derbyshire and was named in Ed Smith’s first squad as national selector for next week’s Pakistan Test at Lord’s. Following three rounds of ankle surgery in 2015 and 2016, there have been doubts about Wood’s fitness for five-day cricket but he is feeling positive – “I’ve had seven months injury free now, which I’ve probably never had before” – and wants to fight for his place.”That’s never even once crossed my mind,” he said, when asked about the possibility of preserving himself. “Any game I play for England I love it. When I was in the back garden as a kid it was never T20 or 50 overs it was Test matches. In my mind, all the best players were at Test level and that’s what I wanted to strive to. These days, the 50- and 20-over stuff is a huge part of the game so I’m delighted to be part of such a good team – we have an awesome one-day side – but the pinnacle for me is still trying to get into that Test and I think I have a real point to prove.”After a month of inaction in India, his trip to Derby was about “having fun” with a red ball back in his hand. Despite initially “thinking I’m miles away here”, after taking 1 for 91 from 29 overs in the first innings, Wood felt increasingly in rhythm and was rewarded by his first first-class six-for as reverse swing came into play on the final day.Wood’s extra pace and skiddy angles have seen him long identified as the man to bring a cutting edge to the seam attack, and he believes he benefited from being given a licence to bowl short and at the body in his previous Test appearance – similar to the role fulfilled by New Zealand’s Neil Wagner. Having scored a maiden Test fifty at Hagley Oval, he is now chasing bigger wicket hauls for England.”I need to get more wickets,” he said. “I need to be more consistent. Having the gameplan in New Zealand definitely helped because I knew the role they wanted me to play. Whether I got wickets or not I knew it didn’t matter because it was the role I was playing. Having a bit more of a specific role – whether it’s an enforcer or do something a little different – then even if I don’t get wickets I know I’m contributing.”To be be honest I’ve got a lot to prove to the selectors, coaches, media, the fans because I’m a guy people probably had high hopes for and I’ve not done it consistently enough. An average of 40 is pretty average to be honest and I definitely want to lower that.”Mark Wood back in action for Durham•Getty Images

On the state of his ankle, which required him to be rested from the one-day side in New Zealand, Wood described it as “decent”. “It’s okay, held together with a bit of Sellotape. We are all right at the moment and have managed it quite well over the winter. ‘Hopefully’ is the key word and hopefully I can keep it okay.”There have been times when I’ve thought I’ll never be the same again, I’ll never play for England again and I’ll have to go into the real world. There have definitely been doubts but things I can hopefully overcome with more game time.”As for his IPL jaunt, part of a record contingent of Englishmen involved in the T20 competition, his conclusion was: “Mad, but good. But mad.” It remains another arena in which he would like to prove himself in the future.”I’m glad to be back,” he said. “It was a difficult decision and I was 50-50 whether I leave. Andrew Strauss rang me up and said, if you’re not playing, there’s real value in coming home to push my case and try to keep my spot in the team. I worked so hard trying to get back in the Test side. At the time I wondered whether it was the right decision but as soon as I got back and took some wickets, it was the right decision.”I would have liked to have played more. It was hard going travelling every day and not playing. I was the only member of the England side who hadn’t been home for about seven months so that side was hard. I got why I wasn’t playing… I didn’t really set the world alight in my first game and it was always going to be difficult to come back in. I’m disappointed that I didn’t get to prove myself in that competition. To have one game and not do well leaves a bit of a sour taste. I’d like to go back and have one more crack at it and prove myself at that standard.”

A reliable reporter has now revealed that Wolverhampton Wanderers could sign an unwanted Chelsea player this summer, according to a new report.

Wolves step up transfer plans as they eye a new striker

Vitor Pereira’s arrival at Molineux has been a breath of fresh air for the Midlands side, as he’s helped guide the club away from the relegation zone, and they now look set for a comfortable finish in the Premier League.

It looks as though Wolves are set to lose talisman Matheus Cunha this summer, as he is closing in on a move to Manchester United. Therefore, a replacement or replacements will need to be found, and the Premier League side are wasting no time in identifying targets.

According to Caught Offside, Wolves have registered their interest in signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Everton, as he is set to leave the Toffees on a free transfer once his contract comes to an end.

But he is not the only forward on their radar, as the Midlands side are also interested in signing Jamie Vardy, once again a player who is set to become a free agent, as he’s confirmed he will be leaving Leicester City after 13 years at the club.

Chelsea’s Joao Felix is another option that is being considered, as he’s been told he can speak to interested clubs. However, the Portugal international would likely cost a large sum of money, despite his struggles in England.

Reliable reporter suggests Wolves could sign Dewsbury-Hall

Felix is not the only Chelsea player the Midlands side are looking at, as according to reporter Ben Jacobs, via Molineux News, Wolves could look to sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from the Blues this summer.

Jacobs was speaking on The Wolfpack Podcast about who could be of interest to Wolves heading into the summer, and he revealed that Dewsbury-Hall could be a target.

“I think Wolves and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is going to be one to watch, from what I understand.

“Because Chelsea may be willing to sanction a sale. Dewsbury-Hall may be looking for regular game time, with a view to somehow kind of forcing himself into the England setup. Wolves could be one to watch there. I’m not aware yet of any significant out-and-out attackers who Wolves are specifically looking at.”

Dewsbury-Hall, who has been dubbed “sensational” by former Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers, only joined Chelsea last summer in a deal worth £30 million. However, the midfielder has hardly kicked a ball at Stamford Bridge, despite being so important for Enzo Maresca with the Foxes, playing just 12 games in the Premier League, with his most minutes coming in the UEFA Conference League.

Given how far down the pecking order Dewsbury-Hall is, he is likely a player who could be moved on by the Blues this summer, as they look to recoup their money and bring in a replacement.

A Premier League club are lining up a move to sign an "amazing" Southampton player in the January transfer window, according to a new report.

Southampton transfer news

The Saints continue to enjoy an impressive season under Russell Martin, with last Saturday's 4-0 win at home to Blackburn Rovers further outlining why they should be considered Championship promotion contenders in 2023/24.

The January window will give Southampton an opportunity to bring in fresh faces if Martin feels that it can benefit his side's chances of returning to the Premier League, and numerous rumours have emerged in recent weeks.

The Saints are reportedly in pole position to sign Cork City midfielder Joe O’Brien-Whitmarsh, for example, and while the 18-year-old may not come in as a key man from the off, he could be an exciting long-term addition. Meanwhile, Amad Diallo was seen as a target back in the summer, and the Manchester United youngster has been backed to be a strong loan addition next month, having excelled at Sunderland last term.

On the flip side, Southampton could lose players to teams above them if they show a strong enough interest, and one such exit looks like it could be set to happen.

Che Adams could leave Southampton

According to a new transfer update from TEAMtalk, Burnley are lining up a move to sign Southampton striker Che Adams in January, and are confident of signing him for a bargain fee because of his contract situation at St Mary's.

"Burnley are lining up a January move for Southampton forward Che Adams to bolster their survival hopes, TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal. Clarets boss Vincent Kompany has made a new striker one of his top priorities for the winter transfer window and the Saints star features high on his wanted list.

"Adams is entering the final six months of his contract at Southampton and TEAMtalk sources state that Burnley are hoping to land the forward for a bargain fee. Everton were heavily linked with Adams in the summer but a move never came to fruition. It’s thought that the Scotland international is keen to return to the Premier League as soon as possible."

Given his pedigree as an international footballer, Adams has actually featured a curiously small amount for Southampton this season, considering the goal threat he possesses. Only nine Championship starts have come the Saints attacker's way, so it is understandable why he could be willing to move away in January.

Appearances	18
Goals	4
Assists	2
Shots per game	1.2
Key passes per game	0.6

A return to the Premier League could appeal, and while it would be more preferable to see Southampton keep hold of someone who could score important goals later in the campaign, this is the last chance for them to earn money for his services.

Adams is out of contract at the end of the season, at which point he could then be allowed to leave on a free transfer, and with Martin calling him "amazing" in the past, it could be a transfer to keep an eye on.
