Arne Slot backs Florian Wirtz to fill void left by Liverpool star who quit this summer
Trent Alexander-Arnold left Liverpool for Real Madrid this summer and Reds boss Arne Slot believes new signing Florian Wirtz can replace the full-back's creativity Arne Slot believes record signing Florian Wirtz will replace the creativity in his team lost with Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure. Right-back Alexander-Arnold left for Real Madrid this summer ahead of his contract expiring at the end of June. Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong will tussle it out for his position but neither will have the same creativity as the departed full-back. Yet Reds boss Slot is not concerned after they broke the bank to sign one of the world 's best young creative midfielders in £116m man Wirtz, who left Bayer Leverkusen to move to Anfield. The German international scored 57 goals and provided 65 assists in 197 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen. After Wirtz's Anfield debut in a 3-2 win over Athletic Bilbao on Monday. Slot said: "I think there's always room for improvement in every department. "Like I said, we've added a few, in my opinion, extra weapons. So, Florian (Wirtz) has a lot of creativity in the final third. "We've lost with Trent (Alexander-Arnold) a lot of creativity from the back. Trent's crosses and picking out runners was so special - I think Flo has this quality as well in a totally different position. "But he brings that creativity, the pace of Hugo (Ekitike), the pace of both full-backs – Milos (Kerkez) and Jeremie (Frimpong) today." Liverpool are set to take their summer spending to over £400m if they land Alexander Isak in the coming weeks. They've made a huge investment in the squad with the arrivals of Wirtz, Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Giorgi Mamardashvili and Hugo Ekitike so far. The defending Premier League champions are not afraid to spend big. "Our competitors are not sitting still," added Slot, whose side face Crystal Palace in Sunday's Community Shield before their league opener against Bournemouth a week on Friday. "Not only they try to improve as well but they have also made a lot of signings, like we all have done. So that's why it's going to be a very interesting Premier League in the upcoming year again."

Report: Buccaneers signing QB Teddy Bridgewater
August 5 - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to sign veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater after a visit and a physical, multiple outlets reported Tuesday. Bridgewater, 32, recently vacated his position as head football coach at Miami's Northwestern High School after being suspended for allegedly providing impermissible benefits to his players. Bridgewater was on the Detroit Lions' roster last December as a backup to Jared Goff but has not thrown a pass in the regular season since the 2022 season with the Miami Dolphins. The Bucs are looking for depth behind starter Baker Mayfield, who missed multiple days last week with a bruised right hand. Backup Michael Pratt has been out with a back injury. Kyle Trask and undrafted rookie Connor Bazelak also are on the training camp roster. Last season with Detroit, Bridgewater completed his only pass for 3 yards in the Lions' divisional round loss to the Washington Commanders. In 10 NFL seasons with the Minnesota Vikings (2014-15, 2017), New Orleans Saints (2018-19), Carolina Panthers (2020), Denver Broncos (2021), Miami Dolphins (2022) and Detroit (2023-24), Bridgewater completed 1,372 of 2,067 passes (66.4 percent) for 15,120 yards with 75 touchdowns and 47 interceptions. He added 844 rushing yards and 11 scores on the ground. Bridgewater was named to the Pro Bowl in his second season after starting all 16 games for the Vikings and leading them to an 11-5 record. In Tampa, he will be reunited with his former Louisville head coach Charlie Strong, now the defensive line coach for the Bucs. Bridgewater was also a high school teammate of linebacker Lavonte David at Miami Northwestern. Bridgewater retired after a decade in the NFL and took over as the head coach at his alma mater in 2024, leading the program to a state championship in his first season. After his suspension last month, he posted on social media that he had self-reported paying for players' Uber rides, meals and recovery services. --Field Level Media

Driver trying to set speed record at Utah salt flats race dies after losing control
A driver going 283 mph (455 km/h) trying to set a land speed record during a racing event at Utah's famed Bonneville Salt Flats died Sunday after he lost control of his rocket-like vehicle called the Speed Demon, organizers said. Driver Chris Raschke lost control about two and a half miles into a run and was treated by medical professionals at the scene, but died from his injuries, according to the Southern California Timing Association, which has organized the popular land-speed racing event known as Speed Week since the late 1940s. For decades, the flat, glasslike white surface has drawn drivers from all over seeking to set new land speed world records and motorcycle and car fans to watch. A remnant of a prehistoric lakebed, the salt flats that are about 100 miles (160km) west of Salt Lake City have also been a backdrop for movies like Independence Day and The World's Fastest Indian. 'Motorsports is inherently a dangerous sport,' said Dennis Sullivan, a car builder and racer who set a land speed record in his 1927 Model T street roadster and serves as president of the Utah Salt Flats Racing Association. 'People get hurt. People get killed. That's just the nature of the sport. It doesn't happen a lot.' Sullivan said motor sports also have stringent safety requirements – such as stronger roll bars, special tires and more fire extinguishers – that help protect drivers. The last racing death Sullivan recalled at the flats came in 2016 when Sam Wheeler, a renowned land speed motorcycle racer, crashed at 200 mph (321 km/h) when the high-performance bike he was testing fish-tailed and went airborne. The Bonneville Salt Flats, which had its first race in 1914, have about 7 miles (11km) for racing and an aquifer underneath that cools the tires of the cars. It's unlike other race venues in that it doesn't have stands. Spectators must stand two-tenths of a mile away from the cars. Raschke lost control of the vehicle about two and a half miles into a run. It's unknown what speed Raschke was aiming to reach. The association and the Tooele county sheriff's office are investigating the death, said Sgt Dane Lerdahl, a spokesperson for the law enforcement agency. 'We know it was an accident of some sort,' Lerdahl said. Raschke, 60, was the driver of a streamliner – a long, narrow, aerodynamic car made to run at high speeds – known as the Speed Demon. He had worked in motor sports for more than four decades. According to the Speed Demon racing team's site, Raschke worked at the Ventura Raceway in the early 1980s, raced three-wheelers and cars in the mini stock division, learned to fabricate and maintain race cars when working with an acclaimed engine builder and later became a driver for the Speed Demon team. Keith Pedersen, the association's president and Speed Week race director, said Raschke was a respected driver within the racing community and also worked for a company that makes fasteners for race cars. 'He is one of the big ones. He had done all sorts of racing,' Pedersen said. The Race Week event began Saturday and runs through Friday.
