He’s been on our radar and was a player we were really keen to bring in,” Brentford head coach Keith Andrews said.”Last season was a huge season for him following a couple of loan spells during which he developed.…

According BBC Derby Sport, it comes with an obligation that the Rams can also buy for a fee in the region of £2.7 million based on appearances. He spent the second half of the 2025/26 season with Derby, netting three times in 13 appearances, but hopes to find his form from when he was at Blackburn.

O’Leary’s rally reached its peak in the seventh when he trapped Chamberlain in a corner and hammered him with a body shot that sent the challenger to the canvas. Chamberlain rose slowly and survived the round, but the momentum appeared to have shifted as O’Leary continued marching forward. The fight changed again in the tenth. Chamberlain landed a sharp combination that forced O’Leary to lower his guard before connecting with clean follow-up punches, including a straight right that sent the champion into the ropes and down. The referee waved off the contest, handing O’Leary the first defeat of his professional…
On a moving day that delivered more ups and downs than the Big Dipper rollercoaster just down the road in Blackpool, the main focus for home fans as Saturday evening drew in was Hull’s charge on the closing holes and Woad’s continued ability to loiter towards the top of the leaderboard. Woad, 22, who finished second in the Evian Championship just over 12 months ago as an amateur and ended up in a tie for 16th at the same event last month, delivered another promising display without ever quite getting her putter to run hot on the greens until the…
Benjamin Sesko came alive in 2026, shaking off a muted start to his Manchester United career to emerge as a real game-changer under Michael Carrick’s watch. Ten of the Slovenian’s 12 United goals have come since the turn of the year, or rather, since the exit of Ruben Amorim, the 23-year-old one of many to benefit from the change in the Old Trafford dugout. And yet, the £74m man’s place as a regular starter in Carrick’s side still isn’t guaranteed, while injury niggles are also hampering his progress somewhat, having missed the tail end of last season with a shin…
Mike Tyson insists he would “never go against” one man if Oleksandr Usyk and David Benavidez were to collide at heavyweight. Admittedly, it seems unlikely that the pair will ever square off, especially now that Usyk has vacated his world titles and announced he has one fight left. Instead, the Ukrainian has expressed an interest in facing Deontay Wilder, the former WBC titleholder, in order to complete a trilogy of wins over his generation’s flagship heavyweights. With two respective victories over Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, though, the 39-year-old has already cemented himself as the greatest heavyweight of his era.…
Milne’s booking-producing foul on Lewis Smith was the first real dent in Hearts’ defensive resolve and Stuart Armstrong’s free-kick delivery caused chaos. Dan Happe headed back across goal and Nisbet and Lewis Mayo raced in to apply the finish. Mayo was eventually credited with the goal and Hearts’ hopes of a VAR reprieve for any infringement were dashed.And it got worse for the visitors as Stuart Findlay fouled the running figure of Toyosi Olusanya in the box, meaning a penalty and a red card for the Hearts defender. Nisbet may have been denied the first goal but he wasn’t going…
Mikel Arteta insists expectations must be high when it comes to Max Dowman’s development. Arsenal boss Arteta has so far taken a measured approach to keeping a lid on the hype around Dowman, who last season became the Premier League’s youngest-ever goalscorer. Yet the Spaniard took a less cautious approach after Dowman scored and assisted in Arsenal’s 4-1 friendly win over Girona on Saturday. The 16-year-old also topped the charts for dribbles (seven) and was second behind only Ben White for duels won (five). “That’s what we want when you play for Arsenal,” Arteta said of Dowman, who created Kai…
