Manchester City unveil brand new 2025/26 away shirt
City and PUMA have launched their latest edition in what is described as a 'tribute to the early Cityzens', in an all-black design that takes inspiration from the Club's oldest-known kit, combined with metallic details to celebrate the timeless essence of Manchester City.
Manchester City's earliest known kit dates back to 1884, when the football Club was based in Gorton, and an iconic kit has now been 'brought to life with a slick new design that honours the Club's origins'.
Manchester City and PUMA say of their newest design, 'The design merges classic and contemporary, with the stylish all-black look taking inspiration from the historic kit, complemented by a traditional collar with a white trim.
'The metallic crest and silver details add a unique contrast to the black base, giving the kit a stunning aesthetic and creating a truly special Away jersey.'

Speaking on the kit, Marco Mueller, PUMA's Senior Director of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, said: 'Reimagining Manchester City's oldest-known kit was a special honour for us, not many people would know that black was the original colour of the Club, and we love to celebrate the culture and identity of our Clubs and what sets them apart.
'Being able to bring an all-black kit was exciting and gave us the opportunity to do something new with the Away jersey. Another first is that this is the first time PUMA has ever shot a campaign fully in black and white which really ties in beautifully to the design of the kit.'
Nuria Tarre, Chief Marketing & Fan Experience Officer for City Football Group said: 'We are delighted to unveil this season's Away kit to fans for the first time – a powerful tribute to our earliest-known kit, when the Club was based in Gorton, Manchester.
'The striking all-black design is a fresh take on a traditional kit with a sleek, contemporary edge. Our fans have always had a deep appreciation for kits that honour the Club's history, and this kit does exactly that.
'It's a bold expression of our identity that we hope will soon become a favourite amongst our passionate fanbase.'

Man Utd's Mather looks for loan move abroad
Manchester United youngster Sam Mather is likely to look abroad for a loan move this season. Mather, 20, signed a new contract with United last summer after being part of their pre-season tour to the United States. However, he was overlooked for this summer's trip by head coach Ruben Amorim and, given the position he is most suited to is as a number 10, Mather knows his path to the first team is blocked. That means the Salford-born player will almost certainly go out on another loan this season. However, he wants to avoid a repeat of last season, when he went to Tranmere in January but only made two brief substitute appearances the following month. It is felt, at his age, Mather's technical abilities make him more suited to playing abroad than in the EFL, with the potential for a permanent deal likely to be part of any arrangement.

'Draw that feels like a win': India hails great Test escape
India on Monday lauded their cricketers for pulling off a "draw that feels like a win" in the fourth Test against England to keep the series alive. India, 2-1 down in the five-match series and a daunting 311 runs behind on first innings, batted out Sunday's final day to take it to a decider at the Oval, starting Thursday. Captain Shubman Gill struck his fourth century of the series before unbeaten hundreds from Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar denied England victory. KL Rahul also scored 90. It was a remarkable fightback after India had lost their first two second-innings wickets without a run on the board on Saturday. "When it comes to India-England, Old Trafford is known for keeping the series alive," India great Sachin Tendulkar posted on X. It was a "fantastic comeback" said Tendulkar who added that Rahul, Gill, Jadeja and Sundar had shown "great character and fighting spirit". The Times of India headlined with "The draw that feels like a win", while said it had been a "great escape". Gill had come into his first series as captain with question marks over his overseas batting record. But he has laid all doubts to rest with a record-breaking run, joining Don Bradman and Sunil Gavaskar as the only Test captains to score four centuries in a series. His 722 runs are the most scored by an Indian batsman in a series against England, surpassing team-mate Yashasvi Jaiswal's 712 in 2023/24. "Nobody ever doubted Shubman Gill's talent," said head coach Gautam Gambhir . "Those who did, they just know to talk cricket but lack understanding of the game. Some people take time to blossom in international cricket. And no one in the dressing room is surprised by what he has done." Uncapped wicketkeeper Narayan Jagadeesan was on Monday called into the India squad as cover, after Rishabh Pant was ruled out with a fractured foot. Dhruv Jurel is expected to take the gloves in the fifth Test. fk/abh/dh

Report: Arsenal attacker attracting interest from Newcastle and Tottenham
Newcastle and Spurs Circling as Gabriel Jesus Faces Uncertain Arsenal Future Jesus Attracting Admirers Amid Arsenal Exit Talk Gabriel Jesus could be on the move, with CaughtOffside reporting that the Arsenal striker is attracting interest from several European clubs, including Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. Despite being a significant signing for Mikel Arteta in 2022, the Brazilian has struggled to maintain consistency in North London—partly due to recurring knee injuries that have limited his form and availability. Photo IMAGO At 28, Jesus is entering a pivotal stage of his career. According to CaughtOffside, 'clubs like Milan, Barcelona, and Newcastle United are reportedly tracking his situation.' The article also confirms that Tottenham and Inter Milan are monitoring developments, although none have yet made formal approaches. Jesus has scored only 26 goals in 96 appearances for the Gunners—a return that's underwhelmed many fans and pundits, particularly given the lofty expectations that accompanied his move from Manchester City. Suitors Prepared to Wait on Fitness Clearance It seems most of Jesus's suitors are playing the waiting game. 'The lingering effects of a serious knee injury have made clubs cautious about making a move,' the report notes. As a result, the January window appears a more viable period for any serious bids to emerge. Palmeiras and Flamengo are also said to be keeping tabs on the striker's condition, highlighting the broad appeal he still commands both in Europe and South America. 'Several European sides have already initiated contact, but uncertainty remains over the timing of any deal,' CaughtOffside revealed, making it clear that his medical status could significantly shape the final outcome. Newcastle Could Use Jesus's Creativity From a tactical perspective, Jesus offers more than goals—he brings mobility, creativity, and the ability to link play. With Newcastle reportedly open to selling Alexander Isak if a significant offer arrives, there could be a clear pathway for Jesus at St. James' Park. 'Jesus is more than just a goal scorer, and he will add creativity and unpredictability to the Newcastle attack,' the original article stated. His versatility would also allow him to operate in various forward roles, which could prove valuable in a physically demanding Premier League campaign. Spurs Interest Raises Eyebrows Tottenham, too, are said to be in the mix, particularly if Son Heung-min or Richarlison were to depart. However, any deal would be viewed through the lens of fierce North London rivalry, making this an unlikely destination. 'A move for the Arsenal player would be quite surprising,' CaughtOffside concluded—a sentiment many fans would likely echo. Our View – EPL Index Analysis From a Newcastle fan's point of view, this link to Gabriel Jesus feels like an ambitious, albeit calculated, move. He's a name that carries Premier League pedigree, and if Eddie Howe is looking to diversify the Magpies' attacking options, Jesus could be an intriguing fit. With Alexander Isak targeted by Liverpool and Callum Wilson already departed, adding someone like Jesus—who can play across the frontline—makes sense. However, the big question revolves around his durability. The knee issues are a concern, especially for a side like Newcastle who need consistent performers week in, week out. Still, his experience at Manchester City and Arsenal means he knows the league inside out. While his finishing has drawn criticism, his link-up play and pressing ability align well with Howe's tactical setup. If the financial terms are favourable and the player is fully fit, this could be a smart piece of business. It's worth noting that Jesus brings Champions League-level experience, something Newcastle will need if they're to maintain their ambitions across multiple fronts. Should Isak stay, Jesus could still prove useful in rotation, particularly in congested fixtures. The January window might provide the clearest opportunity, and if the stars align, don't be surprised if St. James' Park becomes his next home.
