A Bend it Like Beckham sequel is coming – here's where to watch the original in the UK
Football fans across the country are celebrating the Lionesses' win at the Euro 2025 final, so some other football news may have flown under the radar. But it's been revealed that a sequel to cult classic Bend It Like Beckham is in the works. The second instalment of Bend It Like Beckham has been awaited for more than two decades. Written and directed by Gurinder Chadha OBE, the original is beloved for its humorous and moving exploration of identity, race, gender and religion. In fact, speaking to the BBC on Saturday, Chadha revealed that she's been asked for a sequel almost twice a week. The hope is that the cast will reprise their roles, including Parminder Nagra as Jess and Keira Knightley as Jules. Chadha even hinted at potential cameo roles for England's Lionesses. In the first film, Jess, a British-Asian football fan with an undiscovered talent, is scouted by Jules for their local girls' team, the Hounslow Harriers. Throughout the film, there's a tension between her love of football and the traditional gender roles in her Punjabi family, as well as a love triangle between Jess, Jules, and their coach, Jo. Spoiler alert, but the original film ends with Jess and Jules leaving for a football scholarship in America, and Jess reconciling her football career with her parents, who had previously disapproved. But there's very little to know about the sequel so far. It's also unclear which form the second instalment might take; it may be either a film or a television series. But with the target date set for 2027 – coinciding with the film's 25th anniversary and the Fifa Women's World Cup – there's a little wait before the story continues. In the meantime, you might want to relive the fun of the first film. Where to watch 'Bend it Like Beckham' There are several ways to watch Bend It Like Beckham in the UK. It's available on Disney Plus, which costs £12.99 per month or £129.90 per year for the Premium subscription. You can also watch the film for free on ITVX with ads, or you can rent or buy it on Prime Video for £3.49. Prime Video comes included with an Amazon Prime account, which costs £8.99 per month or £95 per year.

Ramsdale 'a capable keeper' but 'more important areas to strengthen'?
We asked for your views on Newcastle opening talks with Southampton with a view to signing England goalkeeper Aaron are some of your comments:Steven: I really hope we don't waste our money on Ramsdale. He's not a marked improvement on what we've got - arguably worse. We need to prioritise signing Sesko and Wissa, as well as replacing Longy [Sean Longstaff] and bringing in a new centre-back, especially with Botman's worrying injury Not a priority in my mind. Other positions need be covered first, especially if they are daft enough to let Isak We desperately need a decent goalkeeper. Ramsdale could fit the bill and will improve with a strengthened defence in front of him. Pope creates nervousness for players and fans alike and his ability with his feet is painfully poor. Dubravka is good in fits and starts and considers he should be number one. Trafford made a mistake moving to Manchester City, something he'll regret in the coming years. Sign Ramsdale Ramsdale is a quality goalkeeper! Under Howe he could even eclipse Pickford. But Pope is also quality. If Ramsdale is being brought in as the number one then I hope we have the decency to sell Pope so we don't ruin his career. Karius and Ruddy are sufficient From what I've seen, Ramsdale is a capable keeper at his best. Hopefully if he does sign, he can show some of the form he achieved as Arsenal's number one. What remains to be seen is whether his distribution - Pope's weak spot - is worth the long-term investment or whether he's a stop-gap until we find the next long-term replacement for our ageing Ramsdale is better with his feet than Pope - so would align with the philosophy. But I like my keepers to save first and worry about passing second. As we tend to give a lot of chances away, not sure Ramsdale would gain us as many points as We don't need Ramsdale as he is on a par with Pope and Dubravka. If we are going to buy a keeper then it should be an upgrade and not an equivalent. We have more important areas to strengthen.

Liverpool miss out on ‘next Saliba' as Nathan Zeze chooses FC NEOM over host of Premier League clubs
AMBITIOUS Saudi outfit NEOM are closing in on highly-rated French defender Nathan Zeze — who has been dubbed the next William Saliba. The 20-year-old centre-back had Premier League suitors queuing up, including Liverpool, Aston Villa, Everton and Bournemouth. 5 5 But in a shock move, he's chosen to take his talents to the Saudi Pro League. Zeze, who came through the ranks at Nantes, has been turning heads across Europe with his powerful displays at the back. And it seems the scouts weren't wrong — he's now bagged himself a big-money move. SunSport understands Bournemouth made the first move back in May, tabling a verbal £17million bid — but it wasn't enough to tempt Nantes to sell. Aston Villa were also closely tracking the young Frenchman as they look to strengthen their backline following the departure of Axel Disasi. Everton were in the frame too. But it's NEOM who've got the deal done. SunSport can reveal that Zeze will undergo a medical this week, and all that's left is the formalities before he's officially unveiled. NEOM have made no secret of their ambition to build a star-studded squad. They've already got Said Benrahma and Alexandre Lacazette on board, and just recently snapped up ex-PSG keeper Marcin Bulka. Former Nottingham Forest sporting director Kyriakos Dourekas is now leading the charge at NEOM and with signings like Zeze, it's clear the Saudi side mean serious business. Kyriakos is highly regarded in the football transfer business and played a key role in Forest's promotion to the Premier League. 5 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW He now has the task of ensuring NEOM stay in the top league and overseeing plans for a new stadium and growing their global identity. In more Saudi transfer news Cristiano Ronaldo 's Al Nassr are closing in on signing Chelsea 's Joao Felix. Where Liverpool's Ekitike talks leave Isak and Newcastle | Transfers Exposed Sunsport understand that the deal will be worth £43.7million with the player set for a medical later this week. Felix made just 12 Premier League appearances, scoring only once, last season following his move back to Stamford Bridge. 5 5
