Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the original Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Art de Roche to talk about Arsenal at the World Cup, and the ongoing concerns around Declan Rice who looked physically shattered throughout England’s 2-1 win over DR Congo. We then chat about how the price of the average midfielder has risen so highly with some high profile, high price deals going through this week, and how that might influence what the club need to do this summer. I also ask if this window needs Arsenal to make a ‘statement’ signing, such…

The reported arrangement gives Eddie Hearn’s promotional company more than just one event featuring one of boxing’s brightest young stars. Although Zayas suffered the first defeat of his professional career when Ennis stopped him in seven rounds, the 22-year-old remains one of the sport’s top prospects and is expected to continue as a major attraction. Having his next appearance promoted by Matchroom would give Hearn another opportunity to showcase the Puerto Rican contender. The reported agreement also helps explain how the Ennis-Zayas fight came together. Rather than limiting the deal to a one-fight co-promotion, Top Rank reportedly agreed to let…

Players who cover their mouths in confrontations with opponents will not be shown red cards in Uefa competitions, it was confirmed on Thursday.European football’s governing body will not take up the option to use the law in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.The issue of players covering their mouths became high profile in February when Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni raised his shirt while speaking to Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr during a Champions League game.The Argentina international was accused of racist abuse and provisionally banned for one match. Following a Uefa investigation, Prestianni was found guilty of homophobic conduct…

Newcastle have shared a short and sweet message to supporters as they plan a summer spending spree following the sale of Sandro Tonali to Tottenham. Spurs are set to break their record transfer fee for the second time in the space of 48 hours after they reached an agreement to sign Tonali. An initial fee of £92.5million plus a further £7.5m in add-ons has been agreed with Newcastle to complete Roberto De Zerbi’s midfield revamp after they agreed to sign Mateus Fernandes from West Ham on Tuesday. Newcastle owners PIF have received backlash from supporters over the sales of several…

Harry Kane’s late double in England’s 2-1 win over DR Congo has sparked a major William Hill News market move across the World Cup Top Goalscorer, Ballon d’Or and BBC Sports Personality of the Year books, with the England captain cut in all three. The most eye-catching shift has come in the World Cup 2026 Top Goalscorer market. Kane is now 6/1, having been available at 16/1 before his match‑winning brace, and sits just behind current frontrunners Kylian Mbappe at 5/4 and Lionel Messi at 11/8. Erling Haaland follows at 20/1, with Ousmane Dembele 25/1 and the rest 33/1 and…

Terence Crawford suspects Ryan Garcia could lose his WBC title later this year, depending on whether he faces a physically superior opponent. The 27-year-old claimed his world welterweight title in February, dethroning Mario Barrios with a unanimous decision victory after scoring a first-round knockdown. In doing so, Garcia returned to the win column after suffering a points defeat to Rolando Romero, which followed his no-contest against Devin Haney in April 2024. Sandwiched between those two results was, of course, his year-long doping ban, but now it seems the American has rediscovered some measure of form. Hoping to build on this…

Building an entire 80,000-seat wooden stadium from scratch just for one afternoon is the kind of promotional gamble by Tex Rickard you have to respect. What really stands out about that million-dollar gate is how much of an anomaly it was for the era, proving that boxing could pull in mainstream entertainment money if the storyline hit the right chords. Carpentier was a phenomenal light heavyweight, but giving up 20 pounds to a peak, ferocious Dempsey was always a death sentence. That second-round right hand from the Frenchman is one of those great “what if” moments in boxing lore, but…
