Napoli About to Finalize Double Deal with Torino
Napoli have captured Vanja Milinkovic-Savic from Torino, while Cyril Ngonge will go the other way around. The Partenopei were eager to sign another quality goalie to deputize and potentially challenge Alex Meret. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Azzurri won't activate the Serb's €19M release clause. Instead, they'll shell out €22.5M in exchange for a more diluted payment structure. After multiple loan spells, he's been the starter for the last four campaigns and was particularly brilliant in the past two. He has appeared 158 times with the Granata, allowing 163 goals and keeping 52 clean sheets. Milinkovic-Savic was one of the early names on the Napoli radar for the position. They haven't been really close to other goalies this summer. Instead, Ngonge is transferring on an initial loan with a €1M fee and a €18M option to buy. The Scudetto winners signed him from Verona for €20M two years ago, but he never hit his stride in Campania, where he was buried on the depth chart. He's reuniting with coach Marco Baroni. Torino have already identified their next starter between the sticks: Franco Israel from Sporting CP. They'll onboard him for €4/5M. He's a Juventus youth product and starred numerous times in their Next Gen squad before moving to Portugal. The Bianconeri will get half of the fee thanks to a resale clause. Our Take on Napoli Adding Milinkovic-Savic They were determined to bring in another reliable option, and the biggest hurdle was convincing him, but he's overqualified to be a backup, and it's debatable whether he's at the level to rival Meret, plus he has already hit his ceiling. Still, if Ngonge fares well, it'll turn out to be a delayed swap for a player they weren't using.

Freya Godfrey leaves Arsenal
Freya Godfrey has completed a permanent move to London City Lionesses, ending an eight-year spell at Arsenal that began when she joined the club's academy at the age of 12. Photo byThe 20-year-old forward made her senior Arsenal debut in May 2023 as a late substitute in the Women's Super League win over Brighton & Hove Albion and featured in the UEFA Women's Champions League against Valerenga the following December. She leaves with three senior appearances for Arsenal but an increasingly growing reputation after loan spells with Ipswich Town, Charlton Athletic and London City Lionesses. Godfrey spent the second half of last season on loan with London City, where she made eight appearances, provided three assists and helped the team secure promotion to the Women's Super League. Her impact convinced head coach Jocelyn Prêcheur to make her signing a priority. 'Signing Freya was a priority for me. I strongly believe in her. Her maturity for such a young player, her talent, her speed and her state of mind she has shown since she arrived convinced me she has everything to become one of the best strikers in England. 'I feel honoured that she chose to keep developing with us and we will work hard to bring her to the top, where she has the capacity to go. She is a wonderful signing, and I can't wait to start training with her.' For Godfrey, the decision was straightforward. 'To be honest, I'm just over the moon. I think last season was a great experience for me and it is definitely something I want to continue with, so I am very happy to be back. 'The last game of last season was the highlight of my career, it was such a tough game, and we fought so hard, and that made the result 10 times better. The joy and relief at the end was insane. 'This season is about showing everyone what we're about, obviously we've made some big statement signings, it shows how ambitious the club is. I'm excited to get into the WSL. 'We want to compete for the top spaces, for the top leagues, the top competitions. I personally want to be a part of it, that's why I decided to stay, and I'm really looking forward to it. The fans are incredible. They definitely got us through some tough games. Blackburn at home for example, obviously the final day. They were so loud, they were always showing their love, and we really appreciated it. 'London City are such an ambitious club, the people, the players, the staff, the fans: everyone made me feel so loved and that feeling is untouchable really. I really enjoyed my time here last season, how could I say no?' Godfrey, who has represented England at every youth level from under-14s to under-23s, follows former Arsenal teammate Teyah Goldie in making the switch to South London this summer. Arsenal, in their statement confirming the move, thanked her for her contribution to the club and wished her success in the next stage of her career.
