The summer transfer window rolls on as Premier League clubs and those around Europe look to add to their squads. Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Noni Madueke but are yet to make contact with Chelsea over a high-profile switch for the England winger. The Gunners are also hoping to secure a deal for Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera after the La Liga outfit rebuffed their initial offer.

In the meantime, a medical is planned for incoming Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard. Manchester United secured Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m early in this window and have now nabbed teenage Paraguayan defender Diego Leon.

Gerwyn Price amazingly wins Poland Darts Masters despite losing case and brand new darts
GERWYN PRICE seals incredible Poland Darts Masters title... despite losing his case and brand new set of arrows on the flight over. The Iceman, 40, denied 'King of the World Series' Stephen Bunting yet another 2025 crown amid his sensational year by edging a riveting final 8-7. 1 And the manner of his victory is all the more impressive after he revealed the drama he faced on landing in Poland. Following his sensational victory, 2021 world champion Price admitted he lost his luggage and his brand new set of darts. The Welsh former rugby player then had to dash out and a buy new darts last-minute... before tinkering with them by filing down the points. Reflecting on his win, Price - fresh from final heartbreak in the World Cup of Darts last month - revealed: "I'm quite chuffed that I won considering the circumstances... "I lost my case, lost my darts... I had a brand new set of darts. "I felt the points on them were too long so I was filing them down for two days. "So to be mentally strong and come through games in which I wasn't 100 per cent confident shows I've got great character and strength. "I'll probably keep these darts now and finish with them the rest of the year. It gives me confidence leading into the World Matchplay." Price went on to say he felt frustrated during much of the tournament - but is glad he doesn't have to "beat myself up" after finally clinching the title. He said: "It's nice to get back on the winning stage and getting trophies again, but I felt like I was a bit frustrated all the way through that game. Gerwyn Price reveals darts rival who rattled him most and it led to awkward moment on stage "I was trying too hard to get a leg in front and trying to break him but in the end I've done it. "I missed a couple of match darts where I was probably 7-6 up where I could've lost it but double-double finish. "I missed loads of doubles and kept Stephen in the game. "But I played really well against Rob, I was a bit frustrated with myself in the final but that's the way it goes sometimes. "I played really well against Chris (Dobey), Rob (Cross). Got frustrated but I won and that's all that matters... otherwise I'd beat myself up for a couple of days." List of all-time Darts World Champions BELOW is a list of darts world champions by year. The list does not include winners from the pre-Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) era or BDO world champions. That means Raymond van Barneveld, for example, is only listed once - Barney also won four BDO titles - and none of Eric Bristow's five BDO titles are included. 1994 - Dennis Priestley 1995 - Phil Taylor 1996 - Phil Taylor (2) 1997 - Phil Taylor (3) 1998 - Phil Taylor (4) 1999 - Phil Taylor (5) 2000 - Phil Taylor (6) 2001 - Phil Taylor (7) 2002 - Phil Taylor (8) 2003 - John Part 2004 - Phil Taylor (9) 2005 - Phil Taylor (10) 2006 - Phil Taylor (11) 2007 - Raymond van Barneveld 2008 - John Part (2) 2009 - Phil Taylor (12) 2010 - Phil Taylor (13) 2011 - Adrian Lewis 2012 - Adrian Lewis (2) 2013 - Phil Taylor (14) 2014 - Michael van Gerwen 2015 - Gary Anderson 2016 - Gary Anderson (2) 2017 - Michael van Gerwen (2) 2018 - Rob Cross 2019 - Michael van Gerwen (3) 2020 - Peter Wright 2021 - Gerwyn Price 2022 - Peter Wright (2) 2023 - Michael Smith 2024 - Luke Humphries 2025 - Luke Littler Most World Titles 14 - Phil Taylor 3 - Michael van Gerwen 2 - John Part, Adrian Lewis, Gary Anderson, Peter Wright 1 - Dennis Priestley, Raymond van Barneveld, Rob Cross, Gerwyn Price, Michael Smith, Luke Humphries, Luke Littler

Dodds 'refreshed' for new challenge after Rangers
Billy Dodds is "refreshed and ready to go again if given the opportunity" after exiting Rangers at the end of the season as part of Barry Ferguson's backroom had Dodds and Neil McCann as assistants after taking over as interim head coach in February following Philippe Clement's incoming US-based consortium decided to replace Ferguson as head coach with Russell Martin, but Dodds believes they "made a difference" and "the big tanker was slowly turning" despite finishing 17 points behind what it was like to have three former Rangers players with previous experience of managing clubs working together, Dodds told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound: "Barry was the front man, the bigger name."He would come in an odd time, but Barry was happy for us to shell out the training and make sure everything is ready."I was in there for seven o'clock every morning to make sure everything was spot on."I just wanted it to be on the money because I know they are elite players and they want it professional. We were on it from the start and I made sure of that."I don't think we could have done any more in those three months, whether it was tactical information to the players, the analysts doing all the set pieces and all the bits of strengths and weaknesses of the other teams."Dodds believes there was a limit to what they could achieve as some players "lacked the mindset" to play for Rangers."Just delighted that we got the opportunity in the first place," he added. "It is a brilliant place to work, facilities to die for, you've got to be happy going to work there and I certainly was for three months."When we left, they were thriving and I think genuinely the boys enjoyed it and certainly myself, Barry and Neil enjoyed the experience."
