Celtic star Trusty unfazed by potential transfer competition
The American centre-back was signed from Sheffield United for £6 million on deadline day of last summer's transfer window. Despite making a strong start to his Celtic career, Trusty lost his place to Liam Scales towards the end of the season. When asked about Celtic potentially signing another centre-half, Trusty said [RecordSport]: "There is always competition for places at every team. Read more: "As you move up the ranks, there is always going to be competition wherever you go. "You want a good squad and a squad with depth, too. "Whoever is playing, and whoever they bring in, you have to have trust and faith in yourself." Reflecting on his first full year at Parkhead, Trusty said: "I felt it went extremely well. "I was unfortunate at times with some injuries which were bad timing. "But overall I feel extremely proud of last year. "I'm excited about this coming season too. "But I look back on my first year and it's extremely positive. "Winning two trophies and doing really well in the Champions League individually and as a collective makes it only positive."

Enzo Maresca 'trials Chelsea star in a new position' - as the Blues boss gets creative with the £50million signing
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has reportedly trialled moving one of his player's positions in a bid to find a place for the star. Since taking the reins at Stamford Bridge last summer Maresca has led the club to victory in the Conference League and steered them back into the Champions League. However, having already inherited a bloated squad upon his appointment and with yet more new arrivals during his tenure, a number of expensively-acquired stars have found themselves struggling for minutes. One of the players to become lost in the shuffle is France international Christopher Nkunku. Signed for £53million in the summer of 2023, Nkunku had been prolific in back-to-back Bundesliga campaigns with RB Leipzig. An knee injury suffered during a pre-season game curtailed his involvement however, and he was ultimately limited to just 14 appearances in all competitions in his maiden season in west London. In the Premier League last season Nkunku was largely restricted to appearing off the bench, and he is expected to be allowed to depart for pastures new this summer. Although it appears his time at the club is coming to an end, reports from France suggest Maresca had experimented with deploying Nkunku deeper. According to L'Equipe, the 27-year-old has often played in defensive midfield during training sessions, a move that has been described as potentially intended as a means of testing Nkunku's strength of character. The move also be an experiment on Maresca's behalf to see if Nkunku's talents could be adapted to a more defensive role, similar to Joelinton at Newcastle under Eddie Howe. The report also suggests that Nkunku is keen on a move this summer in the hopes of being able to figure in Didier Deschamps' plans for next summer's World Cup in North America.

Scott Carson will NOT retire as keeper eyes new club after playing just two game in six years at Manchester City
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VETERAN goalkeeper Scott Carson hopes to carry on playing after leaving Manchester City. The former England No 1, whose contract ended last month, collected medals galore as the third choice between the sticks during a six-season spell at the Etihad. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Scott Carson wants to carry on his playing career after leaving Man City this summer Credit: Getty 4 Carson hasn't played since 2022 Credit: The Times And despite a severe lack of playing time over that period, the 39-year-old is now looking to get off the bench and back in goal for another season. Carson has his eyes on ideally returning to action in the Championship. The former Derby and Liverpool stopper has been limited to emergency cover during his six year stint at City. In fact, since first making a move to the Etihad in 2019, Carson has played just TWO GAMES - last taking to the pitch for a 17 minute cameo against Sporting Lisbon in a Champions League game in 2022. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL KEEP THE CHANGE Carson's City payday revealed as he quits after earning almost £3m per save He has earned himself a trophy cabinet that would be the envy of most players in that time too, getting his hands on the Champions League, four Premier League titles, two League Cups, one Uefa Supercup and the Club World Cup. Carson started his career back in 2003 at Leeds United and went on to play for the likes of Aston Villa, West Brom, Bursaspor and Wigan. While he also earned four caps for England, doing so between 2007 and 2011. Although Carson has been unable to strut his stuff on the pitch very often, City's players and staff have often lauded him for being a crucial member of the dressing room during their period of prolonged success. 4 Scott Carson's career to date Here's a little look at Carson's club career so far... 2003 - 2005: Leeds United 2005 - 2008: Liverpool 2006: Sheffield Wednesday (loan) 2006 - 2007: Charlton Athletic (loan) 2007 - 2008: Aston Villa (loan) 2008 - 2011: West Brom 2011 - 2013: Bursaspor 2013 - 2015: Wigan Athletic 2015 - 2021: Derby County 2019 - 2021: Man City (loan) 2021 - 2025: Man City CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Pep Guardiola previously said of the gloveman: "The best advice I could give to the young players is to stay around Scott Carson as much as possible in the locker room and on the pitch. 'It would be better than being with me. If they spend a lot of time [with him], listen to him and pay attention, that is the best advice and learning they can get about their future careers. Emotional Jack Grealish spotted pouring heart out to beloved Man City fans after Oasis gig 'Every second he is training and every minute you get on the pitch and in the changing room [with Carson], you value. 'It's like the young actors have to be with the old actors on the set. They are wiser and have the values of the profession.' His influence away from the pitch could go some way to explaining the handsome figure of £8.5MILLION that he has pocketed during his time with City. Those earnings mean Carson has banked £4.25m per game and over £350,000 per touch.
