Howe certainly set the standard.The Englishman took charge of a side in relegation trouble, kept them up, then went on to end Newcastle’s long wait for silverware by winning the EFL Cup in 2025 – and also qualified for the Champions League on multiple occasions.However, last season was a bruising one domestically – Newcastle finished in 12th place – and Howe watched Alexander Isak, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon leave within a year.Newcastle are set to lose a fourth key player too, with captain Bruno Guimaraes heading to Arsenal.They need a progressive manager to start a new cycle following Howe’s…
The £116m sale of Morgan Rogers to Chelsea was a significant blow for Aston Villa, but this outfit has been proven to be greater than the sum of its parts over the past several years. Alejandro Garnacho has been drafted in from Stamford Bridge on loan for the season. A conditional buy clause is in place, and he effectively replaces Rogers presence down the left flank. However, Garnacho hasn’t hit the right beats for a few years in the Premier League, and should not be expected to emulate Rogers as “one of the world’s best” from the get-go, as the…
Moses Itauma may have a heavyweight unification fight against Daniel Dubois or Fabio Wardley waiting if he captures his first world title later this month. A win over Filip Hrgovic for the vacant IBF heavyweight title on August 29 at the O2 Arena in London would move the 21-year-old within striking distance of one of British boxing’s biggest domestic fights. Before reaching that stage, he would first need to defend the belt against mandatory challenger Frank Sanchez. Queensberry promoter Frank Warren believes that sequence would leave the winner of the October rematch between WBO champion Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley…

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Ole Book insists it would take “astronomical sums” for the club to consider selling Felix Nmecha this summer. Nmecha enjoyed a strong campaign for Dortmund last season, while his profile was further boosted by some impressive displays at this summer’s World Cup for Germany. The 25-year-old scored the opening goal in their 7-1 rout over Curacao before assisting the winner against Ivory Coast, which clinched Germany’s place in the knockout rounds. Germany suffered a surprise last-32 exit at the hands of Paraguay, but Nmecha was hailed as one of their few strong performers at the tournament. …

It’s a blessing to be able to do what I do, to be able to train every day, look after my health. Not only that, get to travel overseas, see other countries, because for me, coming from such a small island, the Cook Islands, it was never a thing. It was never even a thought that I’d be doing this type…
