Chelsea are reportedly ‘confident’ they can sign another Brazilian wonderkid – two months after confirming a transfer agreement for South American rising star Estevao Willian. Brazil Under-17 international Willian will link up with Chelsea in 2025 after he celebrates his birthday next April, with the Premier League...

Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson is set to miss the start of the 2024-25 Premier League season with a back injury, according to Chris Waugh of The Athletic. Wilson’s injury could also have an impact on Newcastle’s transfer plans, as the Magpies were thinking about adding a new forward... but only if they could complete the sale of Callum. With his fitness questionable and this injury in place, it’s going to be hard to sell him for any sizable amount of money, let alone the fact that he’s entering the final season under contract giving even more leverage to the potential suitors to offer even less money.

It feels like we’ve been here before. Multiple injuries to centre backs, damage to the spine of our team and uncertainty ahead of the new season. The last time this happened was during our playoff run two seasons ago. We still managed to pull enough results together with a makeshift back two, but came unstuck against a strong Luton side who took full advantage of our deficiencies.

Polish midfielder Bartosz Slisz, currently playing for Atlanta United, has caught the eye of Udinese, a well-established club in Italy's Serie A. Slisz, a 25-year-old talent, joined Atlanta United in January of this year. In a short span, he's become a key player in the team's midfield, participating in 19 matches and showcasing his skill and versatility. His playing style, a blend of strength, technique, and vision, quickly won over the fans and coaching staff of the American club. However, Udinese's offer could mark a significant step in his career, bringing him back to European soccer.

LeBron James is a special kind of talent. Whenever he decides to retire, there’s no doubt he’ll be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, leaving his imprint on the game. With his skill set, it’s tough for opponents to match up with him one-on-one, but that hasn’t stopped many of his rivals throughout his career from reverting to bothersome tactics. The King attracts pests and on the court that’s brought a ton of beef.

In the first half of the 2023 NFL season, it looked for all the world that the Philadelphia Eagles were headed back to another deep playoff run, and perhaps another Super Bowl. The sting of losing Super Bowl LVII to the Kansas City Chiefs in an agonizingly close fashion (38-35, with the winning field goal coming with eight seconds left in the game) was supposed to push this impressively talented team over the top.

Chelsea’s restructuring efforts (on the football side) over the past couple years have seen the introduction of a much more stringent and far less extravagant wage structure than we’ve gotten used to under Roman Abramovich. Younger players on longer contracts will generally require lower wages, and that’s precisely what’s been happening. The only exceptions at this point are the holdovers from the previous way of doing things, such as Raheem Sterling.

The news that Sunderland will be travelling to a neutral venue in the UK for their final 2024/2025 pre-season fixture seems to have raised a few eyebrows, but from a personal viewpoint, I must confess to being thrilled at the news that the Lads will be returning to Bradford City’s Valley Parade to take on Olympique Marseille, just days after visiting the same ground and playing against its usual tenants.
