It is an open secret that Liverpool want to add more quality to their wide areas in the summer transfer window, after Mohamed Salah moved on from Anfield at the end of last season. The Egypt international’s exit from the club has left Andoni Iraola without any wide players who can offer consistent quality in the final third ahead of next season. Liverpool had RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande in their sights as a left-sided attacker signing, but he decided he preferred a move to Paris Saint-Germain, and it remains to be seen if that deal will go through. Another…

Victory in the Belgian Grand Prix could not have been sweeter for Kimi Antonelli, but it has cruelly exposed something of an inexplicable faultline within his Mercedes team. The Italian teenager’s joy stood in stark contrast to his teammate George Russell, who was knocked out on lap one after a clash with Lewis Hamilton, for which Russell squarely blamed his team and what he sees as a weakness with his car they seem unable to rectify.Hamilton had clipped Russell at Les Combes, which the Mercedes driver considered a racing incident. Russell, however, was vehement in his belief that he should…

Harry Kane believes Thomas Tuchel is the right manager to lead England to glory, but suggested the German has made errors. England capped off their 2026 World Cup campaign with their best finish since they won the tournament in 1966. Three Lions captain Kane did not feature as England romped to a 6-4 win over France in Saturday’s third-place play-off. Yet Tuchel has come in for plenty of criticism for how England retreated when defending a lead against Argentina, in their 2-1 loss in the semi-finals. Between Anthony Gordon’s opener for England and Lautaro Martinez’s stoppage-time winner for Argentina, the…
Toto Wolff, the Mercedes principal, has admitted the team let George Russell down. The British driver failed to score a point at the Belgian Grand Prix after a clash with Lewis Hamilton which Russell attributed squarely to his car’s performance not being up to scratch.The race at Spa was won by Russell’s teammate, Kimi Antonelli, who now leads Russell by 50 points in the world championship, a serious blow to the British driver’s title hopes.Russell was clipped by Hamilton on the opening lap sending him off into the gravel and ending his race. Russell said it had been a racing…
As unfortunate as Russell was, it should take nothing away from the quality of Antonelli’s weekend.He was more comfortable in the car than Russell, the pace came more easily to him, and he never once looked like not winning the race, not even when the VSC gifted Leclerc the lead.Mercedes’ battery deployment issue also affected him on the first lap – it seems the fact Verstappen passed him on the entry to Eau Rouge was down to this, rather than clever driving by Antonelli to get the Red Bull’s slipstream up the long straight that follows.”It was crazy,” Antonelli said.…
Vergil Ortiz Sr. believes his son was denied a long-awaited shot at WBC junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora, and he has publicly pointed the finger at Fundora’s manager, Sampson Lewkowicz. Responding to a question on X about why the WBC has never ordered Fundora to face Vergil Ortiz Jr., Ortiz Sr. dismissed the idea that such a fight would ever be mandated. “Sean [Zittel], that won’t happen. Sampson has blocked that fight for the past few. Ask him how he does it. We all are curious,” Ortiz Sr. said. Boxing writer Darshan Desai offered another explanation, arguing that Ortiz Jr.’s…
