We're two months into the season now, and it feels like things are starting to take shape around Europe. Some title races are looking like they will be closer than others, with some surprise contenders in the mix, while other presumed challengers are beginning to struggle, casting doubt on the futures of their managers and star players.

In terms of headlines, there were shock defeats for some of the Premier League's biggest fish, a dramatic Clasico in Spain and lead changes at the top of both Serie A and Ligue 1. The top two teams met in both the Netherlands and Scotland, too, meaning there were plenty of winners and losers for GOAL to pick from when looking back at the weekend's action…

Surely – – this is Arsenal's year to get over the hump. After three successive second-placed finishes in the Premier League, the Gunners came into the campaign under pressure to finally deliver a first league title since the Invincibles reigned supreme in 2004, and they could hardly have put themselves in a better position through the first quarter of the campaign.

Mikel Arteta's side have looked a class apart, especially over the past month, though they have also been helped by the failures of others. That was certainly on display over the weekend as, while the Gunners laboured to a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace that again came about thanks to a set-piece, all three of Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea slipped to defeats. Arsenal subsequently find themselves four points clear at the top, with surprise package Bournemouth their nearest challengers, followed closely by Tottenham and newly-promoted Sunderland.

There is obviously still a long way to go, but given Arsenal have already got daunting trips to Anfield, Old Trafford and St. James' Park out of the way and come out the other side with a healthy lead, it already feels like it would take an almighty collapse for them to throw this one away.

The most damaging of those defeats for Arsenal's title rivals was undoubtedly Liverpool's 3-2 loss at Brentford. There had been hope that the Reds had turned a corner following their 5-1 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek, but the Reds' frailties that have dogged them throughout the opening months of the campaign returned on Saturday as they again defended shambolically while showing little to no cohesion in attack.

Four successive league defeats has left the defending Premier League champions seven points off the summit and, in some quarters, cast doubt on the future of manager Arne Slot. The Dutchman could do no wrong in guiding Liverpool to the title in their first post-Jurgen Klopp campaign last term, but Slot has looked short of answers so far this term, with it clear he neither knows his best starting combination nor is able to avoid panicking when it comes to trying to change games with his substitutions.

Liverpool have regularly finished games with five forwards on the pitch this season as they chase winning or equalising goals, and things came to a head at the Gtech Community Stadium when, having already made four attacking substitutions, Slot was forced to withdraw Florian Wirtz for the final five minutes and replace him with Joe Gomez as his previous changes had ended up neutralising Dominik Szoboszlai's impact, with the Hungarian having been shifted to right-back in the shuffle.

With games against in-form Aston Villa and Manchester City to come in the league before the November international break, Liverpool will have to massively raise their game to not fall totally out of the title race – that is, if they haven't already.

AFPWINNER: Jude Bellingham

The biggest game of the European weekend was undoubtedly El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and it was Los Blancos who ran out 2-1 winners to stretch their lead atop La Liga to five points as Xabi Alonso's revolution begins to take shape at Santiago Bernabeu.

One player who has had to wait patiently to get their season going is Jude Bellingham, but if his performance on Sunday was anything to go by, then the England midfielder is set to become a key piece of what Alonso is trying to achieve in the Spanish capital. For the third time in five La Liga meetings with Barcelona, Bellingham scored the winning goal, though his strike – much like his winner against Juventus in midweek – owed more to being in the right place at the right time to tap home rather than any individual brilliance.

His assist for Kylian Mbappe's opening goal, however, was Bellingham at his best. Picking up the ball just inside the Barca half, the Madrid No.5 produced a turn that sent Pedri for a hot dog and gave himself the time and space to produce an inch-perfect through-ball for Mbappe to run onto and fire past Wojciech Szczesny.

That was the highlight of an all-action display from Bellingham, who is showing few signs of any lasting damage from his shoulder surgery over the summer. With that in mind, it is crazy to think that there are those who believe England might be better off without him at this summer's World Cup. Surely Thomas Tuchel isn't one of them?…

Getty Images SportLOSER: Lamine Yamal

On the other side of the Clasico divide, all eyes were understandably on Lamine Yamal ahead of kick-off. Not only did the teenage sensation carry with him Barcelona's best chance of victory, especially with Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski out injured, he also poked the Madrid bear by claiming in the days leading up to the game that Real are a team who "steals and complains", which many felt was Yamal referencing the pressure Los Blancos regularly put on referees and match officials.

Unsurprisingly, the Bernabeu faithful did not take well to such comments, and Yamal was mercilessly booed whenever he picked up the ball. Whether that affected the 18-year-old, or whether he is still not fully fit after a couple of injury issues of his own, only he will know, but Yamal was miles off his best level on Sunday. His passing and shooting was wayward and he was mostly locked down by Alvaro Carreras when he attempted to dribble inside and create an opportunity for the visitors.

Yamal's miserable day was capped when he became the target of Madrid's post-match wrath, as Dani Carvajal, Thibaut Courtois and Vinicius Jr were all seen berating the youngster at full-time, presumably because of the slanderous nature of his pre-match comments. Yamal will be the hero of plenty of Clasicos in his career, but this was one he will look back on with plenty of regrets.

كشفت تقارير صحفية إسبانية أن المدير الرياضي لنادي برشلونة، ديكو، اجتمع مع وكيل أحد لاعبي الفريق، بعد يومين من الخسارة في مباراة الكلاسيكو أمام ريال مدريد في بطولة الدوري الإسباني لكرة القدم.

واستضاف ملعب “سانتياجو برنابيو” مباراة الكلاسيكو بين فريقي ريال مدريد وبرشلونة، مساء الأحد، حيث خسر حامل اللقب بهدفين لهدف.

وافتقد برشلونة خدمات العديد من لاعبيه في مباراة الكلاسيكو بسبب الإصابة، من بينهم داني أولمو، الذي اجتمع وكيل أعماله مع ديكو يوم الثلاثاء، حسبما ذكرت صحيفة “سبورت” الإسبانية.

وأوضحت أن وكيل أولمو اجتمع مع ديكو، في أحد مطاعم برشلونة لمناقشة خطة اللاعب، الذي يمره بفترة صعبة بسبب الإصابات، وتنص الخطة على عودته خلال فترة تتراوح بين أسبوع إلى أسبوعين حال استمرار تحسن حالته.

وأفادت بأن الاجتماع كان وديًا نظرًا للعلاقة الجيدة بين الطرفين، حيث لا يوجد قلق بشأن حالة داني أولمو، ولكن هناك رغبة في تحديد مصدر الانزعاج بدقة وسبب تكراراه.

وأشارت إلى أن مصادر برشلونة تؤكد أنه من غير المستبعد إمكانية إجراء فحوصات إضافية في المستقبل على أولمو، إلى جانب إمكانية إجراء تحليل شامل لتحديد أسباب تكرار إصابته في الأشهر الأخيرة ووضع خطة وقائية شخصية.

وسبق أن خضع أولمو، قبل عام، لفحص بدني شامل من أجل تقييم مختلف معايير الجسم والعضلات، مما سمح بتكييف التدريب مع احتياجاته الخاصة، ولكن نظرًا لاستمرار الشعور بعدم الراحة، وخاصةً في ربلة الساق، فليس من المستبعد إجراء المزيد من الفحوصات لفهم سبب إصاباته المتكررة.

هذا، وتتمثل خطة النادي مع أولمو في إيجاد الحل الأمثل للجانب الطبي ليتمكن من استعادة مستواه الذي أسر قلوب جماهير برشلونة وساهم في فوز الفريق بلقبي الدوري والكأس العام الماضي.

ويُعتقد أن لاعبًا بمثل قدراته لا يمكن الاكتفاء بمشاركته في بعض مباريات فقط، حيث هناك أمل أن يكون لاعبًا أساسيًا للفريق بعد تعافيه.

وأكدت الصحيفة أن هناك قلق متزايد يحيط بـ أولمو، ولكن هناك كذلك يقين بإمكانية حل تلك المشكلة من خلال ضبط الجهود والتنسيق المناسب بين الجهاز الفني والخدمات الطبية.

ويمتلك داني أولمو عقدًا ساريًا مع برشلونة حتى 2030، ويهدف النادي إلى ضمان استقراره على المدى البعيد، مع العلم أن هناك إمكانية لعودته قريبًا إلى التدريبات رفقة الفريق حال عدم تعرضه لأي انتكاسا، ويكون متاحًا خلال أسبوعين تقريبًا لاكتساب المزيد من الوقت للعب والعودة إلى مستواه المعهود.

West Indies have missed on the Women’s ODI World Cup by a fraction – literally – after they successfully chased 167 against Thailand in 10.5 overs but still needed to score the runs a little quicker to overhaul Bangladesh’s net run-rate. West Indies needed to reach 167 in 9.6 overs or win with a boundary that would take them to 171 in 10.5 overs. In the end, their net run-rate was 0.013 behind Bangladesh’s, which denied them a place at this year’s World Cup.This is the first time in six editions, since the year 2000, that West Indies will not be part of a Women’s World Cup and comes after they finished as losing semi-finalists in 2022. Bangladesh, who qualified ahead of West Indies, will play in their second successive World Cup despite losing to Pakistan by seven wickets in the final fixture of the qualifier. Bangladesh also lost to West Indies in their campaign while West Indies’ opening defeat to Scotland and 65-run loss to Pakistan were ultimately responsible for them falling short.Related

After Pakistan secured their World Cup spot on Thursday, the final place was decided in the last match in dramatic fashion. West Indies chose to field first, while Pakistan were chasing 179 against Bangladesh. Pakistan reached the target inside 40 overs but had they taken 45 overs to get there, West Indies would have no possible scenario to go past Bangladesh’s net run-rate while chasing. West Indies also gave themselves far more to get than they would have liked after they had Thailand 85 for 6 in the 27th over and a target of 120 looked possible.Natthakan Chantham kept the tail together for partnerships of 33, 14, 19 and 15 for the seventh to tenth wickets as Thailand batted until the 47th over to set West Indies a target of 167. Afy Fletcher’s career-best 4 for 20 will be but a footnote in a painful chapter of West Indian cricket’s history.By the time West Indies’ chase began, they knew exactly what they needed to do to qualify for the World Cup and it was a tough task. To leapfrog Bangladesh, they had to score 167 runs in ten overs, with a little bit of wriggle room. If the West Indies hit a six when the scores were level, they could have taken 11 overs, which meant their scoring rate had to be at least 15.64.Thailand started with a no-ball in an over that also included a dropped catch (Hayley Matthews on 3) and a wide but West Indies got no boundaries off Phannita Maya initially and the required run-rate was already pushing past 17.5. Matthews hit the third ball of Nattaya Boochatham’s first over for six and so began a parade of boundaries. Matthews was on 22 when she was caught off a no-ball and got to fifty off 21 balls, one more delivery than the world record in women’s ODIs held by Deandra Dottin while Qiana Joseph contributed 26 off 12 balls before she was caught at fine leg, trying to clear the boundary. By then, West Indies were 81 in the sixth over and, with Matthews still there, on track to break Bangladesh’s hearts.ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Big-hitting Chinelle Henry was promoted to No. 3 and took two balls to get her eye in before hitting her first six. She combined with Matthews for 24 runs off nine balls and West Indies seemed in control but when Matthews was caught at short third, the nerves started showing. West Indies needed 62 runs off four overs when Matthews was dismissed.Shermaine Campbell joined Henry and understood her role was to rotate strike but the singles only added pressure. Henry smashed 20 runs off five balls in the ninth over to leave West Indies needing 31 off six balls to qualify. They got nine off the first three balls before Campbell was run out and the pressure cooker close to exploding. Henry closed out the over with a six and a four and West Indies ended the Powerplay on 156 for 6, 11 runs away but with balls running out.They took a single off the first ball of the 11th over and then Henry was run out which meant they needed to score more than the target in order to surpass Bangladesh’s net run-rate. After Aaliyah Alleyne hit a four off her first ball, she took a single, which put West Indies on 162 after 10.4 overs. A four off the next ball would have tied the match and then they would have needed six of the final ball to get to 172 and past Bangladesh. Instead, Stafanie Taylor hit the next ball for six to end the game with West Indies’ total on 168. She punched her bat straightaway as West Indian tears flowed and their World Cup dream ended.Scant consolation will be that no team before them had even scored ten runs an over in an innings in Women’s ODI history (over 1400 matches). Only one team has scored 15-plus runs per over in an innings in men’s ODI history (nearly 5000 matches) – 15.83 by New Zealand against Bangladesh in 2008, who scored 95 for 0 in six overs to finish a chase of 94. That they managed to score at 15.50 and still fell short of a World Cup will be difficult to digest in days to come.[File photo] Muneeba Ali top-scored in Pakistan’s chase•Asian Cricket Council

It was far less complicated for Pakistan, who completed a stellar run of five wins from five with their most comprehensive performance in the last game. They were especially untroubled by Bangladesh, who they had on the ropes at 21 for 3 inside seven overs and 178 for 9 after 50.Bangladesh had no individual half-centuries or partnerships worth more than 44 and posted their first score under 200 of the tournament. Fatima Sana was excellent with the new ball and struck twice. She bowled Fargana Hoque and then had Nigar Sultana out lbw for 1 to finish with 12 tournament wickets, the joint second-most of the qualifiers behind Matthews.Ritu Moni’s 48 and Fahima Khatun’s 44* ensured Bangladesh got past 150 but they needed much more. Marufa Akter gave them a good start when she removed Shawaal Zulfiqar lbw with a pinpoint inswinging yorker but it was all Pakistan from there.Sidra Amin and Muneeba Ali put on a second-wicket stand of 80 and Muneeba scored her second half-century of the competition before Muneeba and Aliya Riaz shared a 74-run third wicket partnership. Riaz’s fifty was her third of the tournament and suggests her promotion to No. 4 could be permanent.Pakistan reached the target after 39.4 overs which brought Bangladesh’s net run-rate down from 1.033 to 0.639. They had no idea then how crucial it was that they didn’t dip any lower. It will doubtless concern Bangladesh that they did not beat either of Pakistan or West Indies but those are worries for another day as they celebrate reaching the World Cup.The ICC has confirmed to ESPNcricnfo that the tournament will follow a hybrid model, in line with the agreement reached by the BCCI and PCB earlier this year. Pakistan will play their games outside India.For West Indies, it will be a long trip home with the 2026 T20 World Cup next in their sights.

While a much-changed side slipped up in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, it was Sunderland’s wasteful finishing that cost them on the road at Burnley at the weekend.

Regis Le Bris’ Black Cats were lethal, on the contrary, when swatting West Ham United aside 3-0 to kick off the new Premier League campaign. But, at Turf Moor, nine efforts on the Clarets’ goal would go begging, with Eliezer Mayenda, in particular, guilty of fluffing his lines when failing to fire home a point-blank effort early into the first half.

The defence wasn’t without its faults in Lancashire, either, as both of Burnley’s on-target efforts on the day were tucked away, leaving Le Bris with a whole host of late targets on his shopping list to improve the Wearside outfit all across the pitch.

Sunderland pushing to sign £24m titan

The Frenchman will just pray his team can find consistent results moving forward, knowing performances such as the one dished up at Burnley could result in an instant collapse back down to the Championship.

In a bid to introduce more star quality to the ranks, Sunderland are now being tipped to make a last-ditch £30m move for RC Strasbourg attacker Dilane Bakwa, on top of also being interested in the prospect of snapping up Chelsea reserve defender Axel Disasi to add more Premier League-recognised defenders to the group.

Sunderland are also still in the hunt for long-term target Jhon Lucumi from Bologna to bolster at the back, with another twist in the tale reported by journalist Eduardo Burgos, via X.

Despite lining up for his current employers during their opening contest in Serie A, the Colombian – who looks to be available for a fee around the £24m region – is still pushing for a move at the final hour, with Sunderland even opening back up negotiations with Vincenzo Italiano’s men to finally get a deal over the line.

If the deal finally were to have legs, this would be a far more impressive purchase to seal than going after Disasi, especially if Lucumi is open to relocating to English shores for less than the Chelsea reserve centre-back’s price tag.

Why Lucumi would be a better signing than Disasi

Unfortunately, despite showing promising early signs at Stamford Bridge, Disasi has become another forgotten man in Enzo Maresca’s overloaded camp.

The former AS Monaco colossus would shine in spurts for Chelsea when used frequently during the 2023/24 season, with an unerring 91% pass accuracy averaged across his 31 Blues league encounters, as per Sofascore.

However, he has also been prone to a lackadaisical error on the ball in the first team picture at Chelsea, as seen in this costly moment last season that saw now Chelsea attacker Liam Delap run away with confidence, before teeing up Omari Hutchinson to gift Ipswich Town a shock 2-0 lead.

The same lax errors seeping into his game on Wearside would be potentially detrimental to Sunderland’s survival chances, with Lucumi far more well-versed in what it takes to be a success at a challenging top-flight level in the Serie A, away from Disasi, who has largely flattered to deceive at Stamford Bridge.

Lucumi vs Disasi (League – 24/25)
Stat – per 90*	Lucumi	Disasi
Games	33	13
Goals	0	1
Assists	1	0
Touches*	73.2	52.2
Accurate passes*	57.9 (92%)	37.7 (90%)
Tackles	1.7	1.2
Total duels won*	3.9	3.1
Clean sheets	10	2
Stats by Sofascore

Indeed, last season saw Lucumi solidify his position as one of Bologna’s main starters, with a formidable ten clean sheets picked up as Italiano’s men finished in a comfortable ninth final spot.

Le Bris will be dreaming of similar secure finishes down the line at the Black Cats, with Lucumi actually trumping Disasi’s assured passing numbers at his Chelsea peak when also averaging a 92% pass accuracy last campaign, leading to analyst Ben Mattinson hailing the South American as “ice-cold” for his composure with the ball at his feet.

The towering 6-foot-2 titan can also put his lofty frame to good use with 3.9 duels won on average, meaning he might well prove to be an ideal replacement for Daniel Ballard, too, if the Northern Irishman is resigned to another stay in the Stadium of Light treatment room after coming off injured at Burnley.

While Disasi was once previously dubbed a “monster” for his heroics at Chelsea by journalist Rahman Osman, it’s clear now that his stock has worryingly declined in West London.

On the other hand, for roughly £6m less than the Frenchman, Sunderland might well be able to poach a stronger alternative target in Lucumi, who is still very much stuck in his Bologna prime.

Dream Ballard alternative: Sunderland ready to make bid for £30m "monster"

Sunderland could look to sign this £30m monster to take the pressure off Daniel Ballard to perform.

وتعرض حسين الشحات للإصابة خلال الشوط الأول من مباراة كهرباء الإسماعيلية، ضمن منافسات بطولة الدوري المصري، وخرج على إثرها من الملعب.

وقال إن الآشعة والفحوصات التي خضع لها الشحات، أوضحت تعرضه لإصابة قوية، عبارة عن مزق في وتر العضلة الخلفية.

ومن المقرر أن يبدأ الشحات البروتوكول الخاص بالعلاج الطبيعي والتأهيل، حيث إن فترة العلاج المبدئي لن تقل عن 7 أسابيع.

يذكر، أن الأهلي أعلن تعاقده مع ياس سوروب لمدة عامين ونصف، ليقود القلعة الحمراء في الفترة المقبلة، خلال التحديات المحلية والإفريقية.

Sunderland have made contact to sign a £15m centre-back who Crystal Palace want to replace Marc Guehi.

Sunderland’s signings so far this summer as Le Bris eyes more

It has been an extremely busy summer transfer window for the Black Cats, who have so far signed 12 players for Regis Le Bris.

Many of the new arrivals started and impressed in the opening day win against West Ham at the Stadium of Light, however, Sunderland lost 2-0 to fellow promoted side Burnley last time out.

Talking before the defeat at Turf Moor, Le Bris admitted that Sunderland still want to make new additions before the September 1 deadline.

When asked on potential signings out wide, Le Bris added: “There’s a lot of speculation which is positive for everyone. Same answer. If it’s possible to reinforce the squad with the right profile we’ll move forward, but it’s not just our question. It’s a question of the player and the club, so we’ll see.”

Sunderland's most expensive signings of all time

Who is the Black Cats’ record addition?

ByCharlie Smith Sep 5, 2025

A new centre-back is also wanted, especially as Dan Ballard went off injured against Burnley. Jhon Lucumi of Bologna has been heavily linked with a move to Sunderland, however, another defensive target with Premier League experience is wanted by the Black Cats.

Sunderland make contact to sign Lloyd Kelly

According to reports from Italy, relayed by Sport Witness, Sunderland have made an enquiry to sign Juventus centre-back Lloyd Kelly. Formerly of Newcastle, Kelly’s loan move to Turin became permanent over the summer for £15m, but a return to the Premier League is possible.

As well as the Black Cats making contact over a transfer, Crystal Palace have followed suit as they view Kelly as a replacement for Guehi, who is being heavily linked with a move to Liverpool.

Juventus have even identified Paris Saint-Germain’s Lucas Beraldo as a replacement for Kelly, so a last-minute move back to England could be on the cards.

Kelly, previously of Bristol City and Bournemouth before his move to Newcastle and subsequent transfer to Juventus, has played 64 times in the Premier League and was once called “incredible” by former manager Gary O’Neil.

Therefore, if Sunderland miss out on Lucumi and Crystal Palace keep hold of Guehi, Kelly, similar to O’Nien, could be an ideal option for Le Bris, making this one to watch.

Tottenham are facing a significant delay to their deal for Nottingham Forest playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White, with the Premier League rivals threatening legal action over what they perceive to be an illegal approach from Thomas Frank’s side.

£138k-a-week Brazilian very keen to join Tottenham amid Gibbs-White twist

Daniel Levy wants two more additions in midfield.

ByEmilio Galantini Jul 11, 2025

Spurs were thought to be on the verge of welcoming Gibbs-White to north London as Frank’s second major signing after Mohammed Kudus, who completed a £55 million switch from West Ham on Thursday evening.

The 25-year-old was even scheduled to have a medical at Hotspur Way on Friday, and Daniel Levy was ready to trigger his £60 million release clause. However, Forest’s threat of a complaint to the Premier League is now threatening the transfer, as first reported by Sky Sports’ Rob Dorsett.

“More on Morgan Gibbs-White. Nottingham Forest have reported Spurs to the Premier League this afternoon for making an illegal approach and have threatened legal action,” wrote fellow journalist Ben Jacobs on X.

“Spurs have received communication asking them to cease contact with Gibbs-White. Forest declined to comment, but sources say the club believe Spurs tapped up Gibbs-White and could challenge the manner in which the £60m clause was learned of. The Premier League will now investigate leading to the deal being delayed and potentially in doubt.”

In more positive news for supporters, there is an expectation from some reliable media sources that Forest will eventually be powerless to stop the deal from happening, so it could just be a case of having to wait for Gibbs-White to officially seal his move from the City Ground to north London.

In any case, this is a very bizarre, evolving situation – and one which has barely ever been seen before in recent years.

Tottenham's stance on signing Morgan Gibbs-White amid legal threat

Taking to X, Alasdair Gold shared his own piece for football.london, pleading for just “one normal day” at Spurs following a rather hectic last week.

In his article, the reliable Tottenham correspondent reported that they’re still very keen to pursue a deal for the ex-Wolves sensation, despite it currently sitting in limbo, and there is a feeling within Forest that they will just have to stand aside for Gibbs-White to seal his move to N17 – even if they’re preparing legal action.

The likelihood right now is that Spurs will eventually sign Gibbs-White, which would allow Levy to make the statement double signing of Kudus and the Three Lions ace for a total fee of around £115 million.

Elsewhere, it is believed that Tottenham are still keen on signing Brentford striker Yoane Wissa, who is pushing to leave the Gtech Community Stadium.

Leeds United appear to be turning their attention towards targets at the top end of the pitch after signing three defenders to bolster their options at the back.

Gabriel Gudmundsson, Jaka Bijol, and Sebastiaan Bornauw have arrived at Elland Road to improve Daniel Farke’s rearguard, whilst striker Lukas Nmecha has also joined on a free transfer.

The Whites are now ready to target players in the attacking areas of the pitch in order to build a team that is capable of avoiding an instant relegation from the Premier League.

Yorkshire Evening Post journalist Graham Symth recently revealed that the Championship champions have made contact with the agents of Feyenoord winger Igor Paixao.

The reporter then added that the Whites are willing to pursue a deal for the Brazilian forward in spite of the fact that he is currently rehabbing from an injury.

What Igor Paixao could bring to Leeds

If Leeds can follow up on this interest by getting a deal over the line for the Feyenoord sensation before the end of the summer transfer window, Farke could have an exciting left winger at his disposal.

The 25-year-old flanker ended the 2024/25 campaign with an eye-catching haul of 18 goals and 19 assists in 47 appearances in all competitions for the Dutch side, which included 16 goals and 14 assists in the Eredivisie.

Paixao is a right-footed left winger who likes to cut inside from the left to deliver goals and assists on a regular basis, which he did to great effect in the Netherlands last season.

Leeds need a player who brings those qualities to the team after Manor Solomon returned to Tottenham Hotspur at the end of last season, after he spent the term on loan at Elland Road.

As you can see in the table above, Paixao has the potential to offer similar levels of quality to the Israel international as a scorer and a creator of goals, albeit he is more geared towards scoring than creating in comparison to the Spurs winger.

However, the Brazilian has not played in a European league outside of the Netherlands and there is no guarantee that his form will translate over to England, as Luis Sinisterra has produced eight goals and three assists in 51 games in the Premier League since his move from Feyenoord.

This is why the Whites could land an even better player for their attack amid their interest in a star who has already proven themselves in England.

Leeds hopeful of signing Premier League striker

According to LeedsUnitedNews, the club have made ‘progress’ in their pursuit of a deal for Fulham centre-forward Rodrigo Muniz ahead of next season.

The Whites are interested in adding the Brazilian marksman to their squad to lead the line for them in the Premier League, and are continuing to pursue a move for the Cottagers ace.

This latest report claims that Leeds are ‘hopeful’ of concluding a deal for the 26-year-old number nine, who has indicated that he would be interested in a move to Elland Road.

It states that Muniz wants to be the main man if he moves to a new club, having played second fiddle to Raul Jimenez at Craven Cottage last season, and that could work to Farke’s advantage.

LeedsUnitedNews adds that the club are stepping up their efforts to sign the Fulham attacker, who has been valued at £50m this summer, and are ‘edging closer’ to a deal.

Why Muniz would be a better signing than Paixao for Leeds

Whilst Paixao would be an exciting signing for Leeds, because of the numbers he put up in the Netherlands last season, Muniz would be an even better signing for the club because he is a proven Premier League talent.

As aforementioned, there is no telling how the Feyenoord attacker will adapt to life in England. There is no guarantee that he will deliver 18 goals and 19 assists for Leeds, given Sinisterra’s struggles after making the same switch from Feyenoord to West Yorkshire a few years ago.

This means that he would be a risky signing for the club to make, but with the potential to be an excellent addition, whilst Muniz would be a fairly ‘safe’ move for the Whites to complete this summer.

The Fulham striker has been there and done it in the Premier League, proving that he can score goals against the standard of defenders in the English top-flight, which is why he would be such a crucial signing for Leeds.

As you can see in the table above, Muniz has scored 17 goals in just 26 starts in the division since the start of the 2023/24 campaign, rotating with Jimenez at Craven Cottage.

Leeds could offer him the chance to be the main man, starting almost every game if fit and available, and that could provide him with the opportunities to hit double figures for goals, given his impressive output in limited minutes at Fulham.

These statistics show why Muniz is an even better player for Leeds to target this summer because he has a track record that suggests that he can hit the ground running and deliver quality on a regular basis in the Premier League.

Personal terms done: Leeds in talks to land bigger signing than Longstaff

Leeds United have agreed personal terms with a star who would be a bigger signing than Sean Longstaff.

ByDan Emery Jul 17, 2025

Again, that is not to say that Paixao will be a bad signing, as they could both arrive and form a lethal partnership at the top end of the pitch, but there appears to be far less risk attached to a move for the Fulham striker.

Players have returned for pre-season training with Glasgow Rangers as Russell Martin prepares his group ahead of the Champions League qualifying clash next month.

The Light Blues have less than a month to prepare for their two-legged tie, as they look to make their way through to the next stage of the qualifiers and bring regular top-class continental football to Ibrox.

Martin has a lot of work to do on the coaching pitch to ensure that the players at Rangers know what their roles are and how they will play his system effectively, but he also has a lot of work to do in the summer transfer window.

For example, Cyriel Dessers could be on his way out of Glasgow before the end of the window amid reported interest from AEK Athens, who have been pushing to sign him, and Feyenoord.

It now remains to be seen whether or not the Nigeria international will still be at Ibrox by the time their Champions League qualifiers get underway.

He may not be the only star to move on from the Scottish Premiership giants this summer, though, as Nicolas Raskin has also been linked with an exit.

Why losing Nicolas Raskin would be a blow for Rangers

The Belgium international is attracting plenty of interest after his performances in the 2024/25 season for the Light Blues, as a number of Premier League teams are reportedly keen on signing him.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, Aston Villa, and Leeds United are all reportedly eyeing up the former Standard Liege talent, who is valued at £25m by the Scottish side.

Raskin joining one of those three teams this summer, despite the money that could be involved in a deal, would be a big blow for Martin because of the quality that he would be losing from the XI.

In the 2024/25 season, the Belgian central midfielder was particularly impressive in the Premiership with his displays in the middle of the park for the Gers.

As you can see in the table above, Raskin carried a threat as both a scorer and a creator of goals for his side, which shows that Martin would be losing a quality operator at the top end of the pitch.

However, Rangers could lose another player who would be an even bigger miss than the midfield star because of his attacking contributions for the team this season.

European team hope to sign Rangers star

According to reports on the continent, Ligue 1 side Lille now “hope” to finalise a deal to sign Morocco international Hamza Igamane from Rangers before the end of the summer transfer window.

The reporter claims that talks are ongoing between the two clubs to reach an agreement on a transfer fee, as the French team seemingly close in on the Gers centre-forward.

Transfer Focus

Tavolieri adds that the 22-year-old has already agreed personal terms with Lille, with a verbal agreement now in place, and this suggests that the only hurdle left to jump over is the transfer fee.

Igamane is reportedly valued at a fee of around £15m by Rangers and it remains to be seen whether or not the French side will be willing to pay that much money for the versatile attacker.

This latest update from Tavolieri suggests that Lille are confident that they can get a deal done for him, given that they hope to finalise terms over a transfer for the striker, and losing the forward would be an even bigger loss than Raskin for Martin.

Why losing Igamane would be a big blow for Rangers

If Igamane seals a permanent transfer to Lille this summer then the Light Blues would be losing their most efficient finisher and goalscorer ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

The Moroccan star enjoyed a terrific first season in Glasgow with the Gers, scoring 16 goals in 46 matches in all competitions for the Scottish giants, and showcased his quality in front of goal.

Dessers ended the Premiership season as the top scorer for Rangers with a haul of 18 goals from 19.4 xG, which shows that he was wasteful in front of goal with the quality of chances that came his way.

Igamane, who only started 23 of his 33 league appearances for the club, provided far more quality as a finisher with the chances that he had in the Premiership for the Gers.

As you can see in the table above, the Morocco international is the most efficient finisher still at the club, given that Vaclav Cerny’s loan from Wolfsburg has come to an end, after a return of 12 goals from just 9.84 xG.

At the age of 22, Igamane also has plenty of time left to develop and improve even further under Martin’s coaching, if he stays. Whereas Raskin is a bit older and closer to his prime at the age of 24.

Reported fees of £25m for Raskin and £15m for Igamane also suggest that Rangers would not get as much value out of a sale for the striker, in comparison to the midfielder.

Therefore, selling the Moroccan forward would be an even bigger loss for the Gers because they would be getting £10m less for a player who offered more game-changing quality in the final third, and who has more time ahead of him to improve further.

With Robin Pröpper and Leon Balogun on their way out of Rangers, are they about to sign a potential new captain to replace James Tavenier?

ByBen Gray Jun 29, 2025

This is why Martin should be hoping that Lille fail to finalise a deal with the club in the coming days and weeks, as Igamane could be a key player for him next season.
