Happy Sunday everyone. Let’s start with some Arsenal news today, because there actually is some involving the likely departure of Leandro Trossard. Over the years, we have heard many, many transfer rumours from Turkey, and I think it’s fair to say the hit rate on them has been low. Negligible even. So, when the Belgian was linked with a move there, I could see how it might have some logic to it, but I wasn’t expecting anything concrete to develop. Then, in the Athletic yesterday (£), James reported a €20m agreement between Arsenal and Besiktas, with the deal set to…
As Tyson Fury prepares for what is expected to be one of the final chapters of his boxing career, veteran journalist Gareth A.

McLoughlin said: “It is glaringly obvious that a proven goalscorer is required. The current squad has 14 Premier League goals between them, with captain Dara O’Shea and George Hirst joint top of that particular chart with three each.”…

The fee the Turkish side will pay for the services of the Belgian attacker amounts to a total of €20 million (€18m fixed, €2m through realistic add-ons). The transfer will be finalized as soon as Besiktas agree personal terms with Trossard, which is now close to being done. The 31-year-old has so far shown good form at the World Cup, scoring twice against New Zealand in the group stage and providing an important assist in Belgium’s comeback victory over Senegal in the…
