Timothy Weah's agent won't sanction Nottingham Forest move
Weah has been the subject of interest from Olympique de Marseille throughout the summer. The USMNT international has already agreed personal terms with OM, however, talks between the Ligue 1 side and Juventus are stalling.
It is in this context that the player's agent, Babou Sambagué, has criticised one member of the Juventus hierarchy. understands that the individual targeted is CEO Damien Comolli, who Sambagué accuses of causing 'problems' and lacking 'class'.
In his message, shared by RMC Sport, Sambagué also accuses the individual (the agent never mentions Comolli by name) of trying to send him to the Premier League. L'Équipe understands that Comolli was trying to sell Weah to Nottingham Forest, specifically.
Sambagué says that he will not sanction such a move. 'This person (the unnamed individual in Juventus' hierarchy) wanted to force him (Weah) to go where he wanted him to go. Now, out of vengeance, he is asking for a fortune and is waiting for an offer from the Premier League, which won't come and will never be accepted by us,' said the Juve player's agent.

🎥 Happy birthday to Premier League cult hero Paulo Wanchope 🥳
On Thursday 31st July, Premier League cult hero Paulo Wanchope celebrates his 49th birthday. The Costa Rican first arrived on English shores when he joined Derby County in 1997. The highlight of his memorable two-year spell with the Rams arguably came on his Premier League debut, when he scored this outrageous solo goal against Manchester United at Old Trafford. In 1999 he moved to West Ham, where he spent just one season, but returned an impressive 15 goals and three assists. The longest spell of Wanchope's time in England was with Manchester City, whom he joined in the summer of 2000, and went on to score 29 goals over four years, including this brilliant piece of improvisation at Leicester's Filbert Street. On the international stage, Wanchope earned 73 caps for Costa Rica, representing his country at two World Cups, with his brace against hosts Germany in 2006 being a standout moment. They don't make footballers like Paulo anymore. 📸 Tom Shaw - 2003 Getty Images

Rangers knock out Panathinaikos - what did the pundits say?
Former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday on BBC Sportsound Rangers are a work in progress and will definitely improve on what they've shown over the two legs. There are a lot of things for them to work on and new faces will help as well. Ex-Rangers striker Kris Boyd on Sky Sports Some exciting players have arrived at Rangers - but Russell Martin is not silly, he will know that there is a lot of work to be done. It's another tie out of the way, but they will have to tighten up defensively. Yes, Panathinaikos harassed Rangers and forced them into mistakes - but they were asking question after question of Rangers. Former Rangers goalkeeper Cammy Bell on BBC Sportsound That's the big thing with Russell Martin - he thrives on the training ground. The longer he has with his players, the better they will get. This Rangers team showed a bit of character today. It's all positive at the moment, they just need to keep this momentum going. Ex-Rangers striker Peter Lovenkrands on BBC Sportsound If you keep playing that way with those type of players you are going to get caught out. They have not been good enough over the last two legs. Rangers don't really have time. The style of play right now seems like it's not really working. That needs to be tidied up before the next round." Former Rangers midfielder Derek Ferguson on BBC Sportsound Yes, they were lucky at times, but I liked the mentality of the players. Can it be better? Of course it can. I was a little worried before the game and we really saw the seasons why, because Rangers were cut open so many times. They need a few more in the building if they are going to progress further.
