Manchester City have now entered the race to sign “the most skilful player in the Premier League”, and there is a feeling he’d be keen on a move to the Etiahd Stadium. Khaldoon Al Mubarak sets out Man City’s summer transfer plans It is set to be a summer of change at Man City, with Pep Guardiola’s hugely successful 10-year reign as manager coming to an end, and Enzo Maresca has been widely reported to be the 55-year-old’s likely successor. However, despite Maresca not being officially announced, Khaldoon Al Mubarak has revealed the club have already set out their summer…

After all that happened during the Ashes, it was just so important England won this first Test against New Zealand – and that they won it emphatically.It was a very difficult pitch at Lord’s but it is the same for both sides, and they came out on top.Speaking to both head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes, I think they felt enormous relief. It has been a difficult time for all of them after the Ashes. It is a long time sitting and thinking and brooding.So to come and win the first game and to do it in a…
Before long, what had been a soporific race turned into a surreal one.First, Stroll crashed his Aston Martin at the final corner, causing a first safety car.As the cars prepared to get going again, Leclerc crashed at the same place in the same way even before the race had restarted.That led to a red flag as officials took a look at the track surface at the crumbling final corner, known as Antony Noghes.And that meant another restart that Antonelli had to negotiate, this time with the fast-starting Ferrari alongside him.But again he was perfect and the race surrendered to him.Hadjar…
Fans were given an “as advertised” treat of a war/slugfest last night in Bournemouth, this as cruiserweights Chris Billam-Smith and Ryan Rozicki went hard at it for seven eventually bloody rounds. Former WBO cruiser champ “CBS” got the win – and you could call it an upset win and a pretty big one in the opinion of some of us – after the previously unstopped Rozicki of Canada was pulled out due to severe bleeding, with both eyes badly compromised. But before the unfortunate ending, fans got one heck of a battle, of the relentless, toe-to-toe, fight in a phone…
When England’s manager at the time, Gareth Southgate, was asked in 2020 whether there was ever a possibility of Haaland playing for the Three Lions, he shut it down pretty quickly.”With players like him, they’re quite clear where they want to play,” Southgate said. “He feels that allegiance to the country that he’s playing for now and you’re always very respectful of that.”Haaland was born in Leeds – where his father Alf-Inge was still based, having just left Leeds United for Manchester City – in 2000.The family moved to Bryne in Norway three years later following Alf-Inge’s retirement through injury,…
Fans have their say on who they want as new Rochdale manager following Jim McNulty’s departure, becoming the head coach at Stockport. The 41 year old has signed a three-year deal, replacing Dave Challinor at Edgeley Park, leaving Dale, who he guided to League Two through the National League playoffs. According to Alan Nixon, League Two new boys Rochdale are reportedly interested in making former Salford City United boss Karl Robinson their new head coach, but then added when asked for an update a day later: “Not sure about Robinson’s interest in job … checking” But many other names have…
Oleksandr Usyk has been confronted by allegations that he is running scared, preferring to enter a rematch with Rico Verhoeven than face his mandatory challenger. The 39-year-old came through a tougher-than-expected encounter with Verhoeven last month, when many expected him to dismantle the former kickboxer in double-quick fashion. As it happened, though, a subpar performance from Usyk saw their heavyweight contest progress into round 11, at which point the Ukrainian was trailing on one of the judges’ scorecards. The southpaw then managed to capitalise on a fatigued Verhoeven, who was floored by a right uppercut before being stopped on his…
The margins were as tiny as ever beneath the looming walls of Monte Carlo but, with the verve and fearlessness of youth, Kimi Antonelli had the edge to claim pole for the Monaco Grand Prix. That in so doing the 19-year-old saw off concerted efforts by Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, with 11 titles between them, on the toughest single-lap challenge of the year only served to emphasise the talent of the tousled-haired teen.In a gripping qualifying session, Antonelli had to be flawless to edge out the Red Bull of Verstappen into second and Hamilton’s Ferrari into third. With overtaking,…
