Stuttgart working on permanent deal for Arsenal's Fabio Vieira
The German club have approached their Premier League counterparts about Vieira.
The 25-year-old was loaned to Porto last season but Stuttgart's interest is over a permanent move.
An agreement has yet to be reached but talks are ongoing, with Arsenal likely to seek a respectable price for a player they recruited for up to €40million in the summer or 2022.
The Portugal international is into the final two years of his contract at the Emirates Stadium.
Vieira came through the ranks at Porto and joined Arsenal in a deal worth an initial €35million plus €5m in add-ons in June 2022.

He made 22 Premier League appearances in his first season in north London but just three from the start, and similarly struggled for game-time in the following campaign, starting twice in the top flight.
Vieira returned to Porto on a season-long loan in August 2024, and was a regular as they finished third – behind champions Sporting CP and Benfica.

OL Will Hernandez visits Arizona Cardinals
Former Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Will Hernandez could possibly become a current Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman. According to the NFL transaction report on Monday, Hernandez had a visit with the Cardinals. Hernandez spent the last three seasons as the team's starting right guard. He played in only five games last season, tearing is ACL against the San Francisco 49ers. His contract expired and has not signed a deal with any team since becoming a free agent. He recently announced that he has been fully cleared medically to play football. The Cardinals never reassigned the No. 76 he wore for three seasons, even though their sixth-round draft pick, guard Hayden Conner, wore it all through college. Clearly, the door has been open. Hernandez will be 30 years old before the season begins. The Cardinals appear to be happy with second-year guard Isaiah Adams as the starting right guard. The question is whether Hernandez would be willing to sign a deal to return and not be assured a starting role. Even in a reserve role, considering how injuries impact teams, having someone of his ability on the bench would be great for the team's depth. Having him on the roster would allow the Cardinals to hedge against injury or Adams not playing well. We will see if anything official happens, or if the Cardinals used this visit for a potential move down the line.

Premier League Latest: 2025-26 season set to kick-off on 15 Aug
The 2025-26 Premier League season kicks off this month and for millions of football fans around the world, it's a time of renewed hope and misplaced optimism for the campaign ahead – with many questions waiting to be answered. Will we finally see a team not named Liverpool or Manchester City win the title? Both clubs have shared the trophy over the last eight seasons – with City winning it six times while Liverpool twice. Or is this finally the season that Mikel Arteta leads Arsenal to Premier League glory? The Gunners have bolstered their squad with exciting new additions including Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, and Martin Zubimendi, to name a few. Arsenal's London rivals Chelsea may also see themselves as contenders for the crown. Chelsea are officially, at least in FIFA's book, 'champions of the world' after the Blues beat Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the Club World Cup in July. And what can we expect from Man City's sleeping neighbours Manchester United? The former English giants finished 15th last season and are yet to fully wake from a long slumber in the post-Alex Ferguson era. All eyes will be on Ruben Amorim as he looks to live up to his considerable hype in his first full season in charge at Old Trafford. Who won the Premier League last season? The 2024-25 Premier League season was one to savour for the red half of Merseyside as Liverpool were crowned champions. The Reds clinched a record-equalling 20th top flight title – but only their second in the Premier League era – with a convincing 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield back in April. Liverpool's success was a dream debut campaign for coach Arne Slot who replaced the legendary German Jurgen Klopp at the helm. Liverpool's only other Premier League title win came in 2019-20 under Klopp during the COVID-19 pandemic. What happened in pre-season? Fans in Singapore were able to witness Premier League teams live in action during pre-season with both Arsenal and Newcastle United participating in this year's Singapore Festival of Football – a five-year partnership between promoters TEG Sport and the Singapore Tourism Board. Manchester City and Chelsea, who both participated in the Club World Cup, have just begun their pre-season after a short break.

The 2025 FA Community Shield sees reigning Premier League champions, Liverpool play against current FA Cup holders, Crystal Palace on 10 August at Wembley Stadium. If the scores are level after 90 minutes, the teams head straight to a penalty shootout to decide the winner. When does the new Premier League season start? After the FA Community Shield, the 2025-26 Premier League campaign kicks off on Friday, 15 August with Liverpool hosting Bournemouth at Anfield. The match will have added significance as Liverpool plan to pay tribute to their player Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva who both died in a tragic car crash in Spain on 3 July. The commemoration is set to take place with a fan mosaic and a minute of silence. Liverpool will also create a permanent sculpted tribute to both men, and Jota's team-mates will wear a 'Forever 20' emblem on their shirts in the new campaign.

When they return, the Blaugrana will be in the home straight of their preseason, and decisions are set to be made on the futures of some of their players.

The 18-year-old spent last year in the first team, but was rarely trusted by Hansi Flick, and grew frustrated with his game time. Despite this, he has thus far maintained a desire to reamain at the club. Hector Fort to analyse exit offers this week Fort appears to have come round to the idea of an exit though.
