Martin Keown fires warning to Chelsea over Ethan Nwaneri transfer
Martin Keown has told Chelsea that they will fail in their attempt to sign Ethan Nwaneri from Arsenal. Nwaneri, who became the Premier League's youngest-ever player at 15 years and 181 days old with his first senior start for Arsenal in 2022, made 37 appearances in all competitions for Arteta's side last season. The 18-year-old has been tipped to become another Arsenal academy graduate to make a significant long-term impact in the first team, however, he has just a year left on his contract and could leave on a free transfer next summer if a new deal is not agreed. Chelsea have been already made an enquiry for Nwaneri during their negotiations over Arsenal's deal to sign Noni Madueke. Reports have also claimed that Nwaneri is considering his options due to concerns over his playing time in the upcoming campaign.

However, Keown is adamant that Nwaneri will get an opportunity to impress under Arteta and there is 'no doubt' that the midfielder will extend his contract with Arsenal. 'I take you back to the [FA] Cup final that Arteta won… in that game who sat on the bench and didn't come on? Saka. That looked painful. Martinelli… a lot of people were crying out for him to make a start, but he [Arteta] does it when he thinks it's right,' Keown told talkSPORT. More Trending 'I think Nwaneri is on the same path. He is a wonderful talent. He's being protected by Arteta. 'It's not to do with ability, he will get his chance. Okay, maybe it's a bartering situation for the contract but I've met the family, the father, very calm, lovely family. 'He's an intelligent boy, he will eventually sign for Arsenal, there is no doubt about it. 'I just think he wants to make sure he plays football, and that is healthy. He's doing it for the right reasons, this young man. I believe he is going to be a superstar at Arsenal.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Trump to attend Club World Cup final, FIFA opens office in Trump Tower
WASHINGTON/EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., July 8 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will attend Sunday's Club World Cup final in East Rutherford, New Jersey, he said at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, as world soccer's ruling body FIFA announced it had opened an office in New York's Trump Tower. The expanded tournament featuring many of the world's best club teams has been widely seen as a dry run for the 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico with a record 48 national teams taking part. Sunday's Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium will be a preview of next year's championship match, with the home of the NFL's New York Jets and Giants also hosting the 2026 finale. "I'll be going to the game," Trump told reporters. The news came a day after FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced the opening of a representative office at Trump Tower, where the Club World Cup trophy will be on display until the final. "We have received such a big support from the government and from the President with the White House Task Force for the FIFA Club World Cup (now) and for the FIFA World Cup next year," Infantino said. Trump has not shied away from sport's super-sized spotlight during his second term, becoming the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl in February, and in May announcing D.C. as the host for the 2027 NFL Draft from the Oval Office. His immigration crackdown and travel ban on 12 countries have prompted concerns ahead of the 2026 World Cup, however, even as Infantino offered assurances that the world will be welcomed in the U.S. for the quadrennial global showpiece event. A memo obtained by Reuters last month showed that the Trump administration was considering significantly expanding its travel restrictions by potentially banning citizens of 36 additional countries from entering the U.S.

Aryna Sabalenka avoids major shock with fightback win over Laura Siegemund
Sabalenka, the runaway world number one and a three-time grand slam champion, had not dropped a set on her way to the quarter-finals. But 37-year-old Siegemund, who had never previously been beyond the second round, almost produced one of the all-time Centre Court shocks after taking the first set and then twice leading by a break in the decider. Comeback complete 🙌 World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka defeats Laura Siegemund 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 to reach her third #Wimbledon semi-final. — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 8, 2025 However, Sabalenka kept her nerve and her emotions in check as she dug in for a 4-6 6-2 6-4 victory in just under three hours. 'I need some time to cool down and recover, she pushed me so much,' said Sabalenka. 'After the first set I was looking at my box and saying 'book the tickets, we're out of this place'.' German women aged 37 have been the great disruptors of the English summer, with Tatiana Maria claiming a surprise win at Queen's Club before Siegemund's unlikely run here. A renowned doubles player, her game is built around slices, angles, drop shots and being nimble on her feet. But the two clubbing backhand winners with which she sealed two breaks of serve in the opening three games were straight from the Sabalenka playbook. It was a drop shot which brought up another break point, which was secured when an increasingly glum-looking Sabalenka went long, and when the Belarusian dumped a forehand into the net for the umpteenth time she found herself a set down for the first time this fortnight. Sabalenka disappeared off court at the changeover, and when play resumed she moved a break up, only for Siegemund to claw it straight back. Siegemund was beginning to deploy the dark arts she has built a reputation for, taking an age between points as Sabalenka waited to serve. It was clearly irritating the 27-year-old, but she took her frustration out on the ball with some trademark power hitting eventually levelling the match – the first set Siegemund had dropped this Championships. Yet the underdog bit back in the deciding set, and when she broke for 4-3 she was two games away from a seismic shock. However, Sabalenka broke back immediately and then roared with delight after putting away a smash on match point to reach the semi-finals for the 10th time in the last 11 grand slams. Sabalenka will play American Amanda Anisimova, the 13th seed, who is through to the last four for the first time. The 23-year-old beat Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-1 7-6 (9) after a marathon second set on Court One. Anisimova blew two match points at 5-4 but Pavlyuchenkova could not take any of the five set points she had in the tie-break before the Floridian edged through.
