27-year-old Arsenal ace agrees mega pay deal

27-year-old Arsenal ace agrees mega pay deal

Yahoo15-02-2025
He's surplus to requirements at Arsenal, but Kieran Tierney has agreed a megabucks deal with Celtic where he'll be the best paid player.
The agreement for Tierney to move north of the border has been in place for a while now, but Mikel Arteta refused to allow the player to leave in the summer.
Things could've worked out much differently after West Ham agreed a deal for Tierney with Arsenal during the summer, though the player's mind was clearly made up to return to Celtic.
According to journalist, Pete O'Rourke, speaking on Football Insider's Inside Track podcast, Tierney will now become Celtic's best-paid player under Brendan Rodgers.
It isn't clear exactly how much he'll be earning though it'll seemingly not be 'anywhere near' what he earns with the Gunners.
That, in itself, should indicate the gulf between the English and Scottish top-flight, and the fact that Tierney is believed to be willing to take a substantial pay cut in order to get regular football and be happy deserves the plaudits.
Far too often nowadays players appear to be more interested in how much money they can earn rather than moving for the enjoyment of playing week in and week out.
It will be interesting to see whether, as we head towards the business end of the season, whether Mikel Arteta will see his way clear in terms of handing Tierney some minutes.

💰 América de Cali cash in thanks to Jhon Arias

A Premier League club has signed the 27-year-old Colombian footballer who was playing for Fluminense. One of the most resonant transfers this Thursday in European football has been starred by the Colombian John Arias, who has been signed by Wolverhampton from the Premier League and left money in several FPC teams. Arias, 27, comes to the Wolves from Fluminense of Brazil in exchange for just over 20 million euros, an amount that represents income for Llaneros, America de Cali, Santa Fe and Patriotas Boyacá. 'Mechita', like Llaneros and Santa Fe, will receive 75,000 pounds sterling through FIFA's solidarity mechanism, which ensures that the clubs that contributed to a player's training receive a part of the compensation. In this way, America de Cali has pocketed approximately 300 million Colombian pesos with this transfer of the Colombian attacker who arrives at the elite of English football. Patriotas Boyacá, owner of a larger percentage of his sporting rights, pockets about five million pounds thanks to John Arias making the leap to Europe.

Miami Dolphins' Bayron Matos injured at training camp, taken off field by helicopter

MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Bayron Matos was injured during the first practice of training camp and taken away by helicopter to a hospital. According to the Dolphins, he is in stable condition. Matos was immobilized and strapped to a board before being carted off the practice field by first responders. Fellow offensive linemen grouped around out of concern for their teammate. Matos is the team's international player — he's from the Dominican Republic — and does not count toward the roster limit. It is unclear how he was injured or what his specific injury is. Matos, who is 6-foot-7, 334 pounds, grew up in the Dominican Republic before moving to the United States in high school where he played basketball. He played college basketball for the New Mexico Lobos and South Florida Bulls from 2019–22, before switching to football in 2022. He started on defense but was switched to the offensive line. Matos was upbeat during a session with reporters in May 2024, flashing a nonstop smile and joking about how the only English he knew when he arrived in the United States was "I'm hungry." Surveying a large, curious media contingent he'd drawn, he said, 'Man, it feels good to be here, all this love. Look at y'all. That's good. I love that. Man, it's opportunity. They gave me the opportunity to be here. I'm really grateful for that. Not a lot of people take a shot on a guy that never played the sport before. And what the organization saw, one thing: the work ethic. Respect. And give everything I have on the field.' More: Miami Dolphins' Mike McDaniel 'elated' to add Minkah Fitzpatrick, Tyreek Hill has matured Matos is a participant in the NFL's International Player Pathway Program (IPPP), having signed with the Dolphins in 2024. Established in 2017, the program gives players a chance to earn a roster spot while not counting against the 16-man practice squad limit during the season. 'I want to be, first of all, one of the first Dominicans — the best Dominican to play in the NFL,' Matos said. Matos did not appear in any games in 2024. He was added to the practice squad last August, then signed to a reserve/future contract by the Dolphins in January.

Arsenal 1-0 AC Milan: Saka goal gives Gunners deserved friendly win

Bukayo Saka's early second-half goal served as Arsenal's breakthrough in 1-0 win over AC Milan at Singapore National Stadium in Kallang on Wednesday as the Gunners kicked off their preparation for the 2025-26 Premier League season. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal looked strong in beginning their tour of Asia, out-attempting Milan 23-3 and putting nine shots on target. MORE — Full list of ins and outs at all 20 Premier League clubs Saka buried a pretty cross from halftime sub Jakub Kiwior, as nine Gunners attempted multiple shots on the day. Martin Odegaard led the way with four. New signing Christian Norgaard started for Arsenal, departing at halftime as Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi played the second 45 minutes. USMNT forward Christian Pulisic played the first half for Milan, while national teammate Yunus Musah went 79 minutes in the start. How to watch Arsenal vs AC Milan live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 7:30am ET Wednesday (July 23) Venue: Singapore National Stadium — Singapore TV Channel, Streaming: Paramount+ in USA Arsenal vs AC Milan final score: 1-0 Goal scorer: Bukayo Saka 52' Bukayo Saka goal — Arsenal 1-0 AC Milan (52nd minute) WHAT A BALL 🎯 Bukayo Saka finishes off a beautiful cross to put Arsenal ahead against AC Milan ⚽ Arsenal Starting XI Raya, White, Saliba, Calafiori, Zinchenko, Norgaard, Rice, Saka, Nwaneri, Martinelli, Havertz AC Milan Starting XI Terracciano, Pavlovic, Thiaw, Tomori, Bartesaghi, Musah, Ricci, Loftus-Cheek, Saelemaekers, Leao, Pulisic Arsenal team news, focus Norgaard, Kepa and Zubimendi are all in line to make their Arsenal debuts, while Madueke is still recovering after playing his part in Chelsea's Club World Cup campaign before signing for Arsenal and will train with his new team when they return to the UK. The only injury absentee is Gabriel Jesus as he continues to recover from his ACL injury last season. Kai Havertz will be up top and it will be intriguing to see how new signing Zubimendi slots in to midfield alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard. AC Milan team news, focus Pulisic was Milan's top goalscorer last season and both he and Rafael Leao give AC Milan something special in attack. Modric's arrival seems like it will be crucial as the veteran midfielder will dictate the tempo of the game and bring back some much-needed control. Milan massively underperformed last season but new manager Allegri will tighten them up defensively and they will be dangerous on the counter. Arsenal vs AC Milan prediction It's tough to predict how a preseason game will go but I think we can safely say there will be plenty of goals and Arsenal will probably prevail. Arsenal 4-2 AC Milan.
