Man City in talks to re-sign James Trafford with Ederson's future unclear
James Trafford is ready to return to Manchester City if they can agree a deal with Burnley for the 22-year-old goalkeeper. City have been in discussions with the Lancashire club about a £40million buy-back clause which was inserted when Trafford left the Etihad Stadium in 2023. The clubs have yet to reach an agreement. Trafford joined City aged 12 and spent eight years there before joining Burnley for £19million. He kept 29 clean sheets and conceded only 16 goals in the Championship last season as Scott Parker's side won promotion to the Premier League and was also called into Thomas Tuchel's England squad, having been the goalkeeper for the victorious under-21 team at the European Championship in 2023. Newcastle United have been interested in signing the goalkeeper for the past year and had a bid of about £27million, including add-ons, rejected in June. City have been looking for a goalkeeper as Ederson, who is 32 next month, has a year left on his contract and could potentially leave, having been linked with Galatasaray. The Brazilian was close to leaving last summer amid interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, including Al-Nassr. Pep Guardiola, the City manager, later said the club never received an acceptable offer. Last month Ederson said he would commit to staying at City, having won six Premier League titles since joining the club in 2017. 'My head is here,' he said when asked about his future. 'It stays with City. It gives me everything to go back to the Premier League again and try to win the Champions League as well. My mind is staying in the club.' Ederson was one of three goalkeepers in Guardiola's squad at the Club World Cup this summer, along with Stefan Ortega and Marcus Bettinelli. Ortega will be 33 in November and has a year left on his deal. Bettinelli, 33, signed a one-year deal when he moved from Chelsea this summer.

Annan teenager rubs shoulders with equestrian world's elite
A teenage equestrian star from the south of Scotland has been tipped as "one to watch" by British Kane, 15, from Annan, was recently selected as the only solo Scottish competitor in an upcoming international has been rapidly rising through the ranks with her Connemara pony, Anna, and the pair will now fly the flag for their country at next week's event in Bishop Burton in said it was "quite unbelievable" that she would be competing with some of the best eventers in the world. The teenager has produced a string of impressive results recently, including successfully completing clear rounds at Badminton Horse Trials in 2024 and considered the pinnacle of the eventing world, Badminton was an event that Tara watched on television growing up. However, she is now competing alongside world-class eventers, tackling the three disciplines of dressage, showjumping and cross-country. "I feel like it's quite unbelievable really," she said."I'll be in the warm-up ring looking over to competitors like Ros Canter, who's one of the best in the world, and here I am on my little Connemara pony."I bought Anna as a four-year-old and I've home produced her, so everything that we have achieved together has been through sheer hard work."Tara recently beat one of her heroes in a dressage test, when she scored higher than Olympic gold medallist, Oliver Townend. As a teenager competing in adult and horse classes, most of the fences tower over both jockey and achievements have not gone unnoticed. "Tara is one of the youngest riders competing at this level and to have completed a clear round at Badminton aged just 14 is both rare and extremely impressive," said a British Eventing spokesman."Her selection to represent Scotland at the upcoming championships is a well-deserved recognition of her talent and composure under pressure."She's certainly one to watch."Competing at international level requires a significant amount of training and dedication, with Tara riding every morning before attending school at Lockerbie Academy. In order to compete at Badminton this year, she had to sit her school exams on Monday before a six-hour drive south to compete on the Tuesday, with British Eventing making special allowances in order for her to parents, Margaret and Edi, work full-time to support their daughter in following her competing at this level is expensive and Margaret has to work overtime to cover the cost of entry fees, travel and accommodation. "It's surreal for us as a family to see Tara's name on the entry list alongside riders who we watch competing all over the world and to have royalty arriving in helicopters to spectate," she said."We do everything ourselves and we don't have any sponsors."Some of Tara's competitors have the pick of the best horses and teams of people around them to cater to horse and rider."I think it makes it even more special when Tara achieves the results she does, and we'd like to thank her coaches who work so hard."The dream is to reach the top of the sport, perhaps even a future Olympics Margaret and Tara are working as hard as they can to realise those ambitions.

Bamford 'not part of my plans'
Leeds manager Daniel Farke has told striker Patrick Bamford he is "not part" of his plans this season and will have to train with the under-21 squad if he remains at the 31-year-old was a surprising omission from the squad for Saturday's 0-0 pre-season draw with Manchester United in absence sparked fears he had suffered another setback after his injury struggles for the Premier League Farke said he was now ready to call time on the former England frontman's seven-year spell at Elland Road."I had a really open and honest conversation with Patrick, which was important," he added. "He knows how much I rate him as a player and I would have preferred a fit Patrick Bamford for the last two seasons. "But he is a player who needs to be the main man. He needs an arm round the shoulder after some difficult seasons. I was not willing to tell him he was the main man at Premier League level."In the second day of pre-season, I got him into my office and told him he is not in my plans for the upcoming season."It would have been easy for me to hide behind the sporting director or wait until we got someone else in, but he has done so much for this club, he deserves respect and transparency."Bamford has made 205 appearances for Leeds, scoring 60 goals, since joining the club from Middlesbrough for £7m in has been involved in two promotion-winning campaigns and excelled on the club's first stint back in the Premier League under Marcelo Bielsa in 2020, when he scored 17 confirmed Bamford would not be involved in Leeds' pre-season camp in Germany next week and would be excluded from first-team training when his side return at the end of July."I will treat this situation as respectfully as possible, but there comes a moment when you can't carry on with five or six strikers," added the German boss."Right now, we are talking about what we do to retain his fitness levels."The under-21s are going to Munich for a friendly but when they come back, he will probably join many sessions with them."He needs team training to stay fit. It would make no sense just to let him run around the lake [at the training ground]."
