Football transfer rumours: will Gyökeres force a move to Arsenal or Manchester United?
In a further blow to Arsenal, the Athletic Club winger Nico Williams has told anyone who will listen that he only wants to join Barcelona this summer. It is now up to Barça to look down the back of the sofa for the cash to pay for him. If the Spain international does head from the Basque Country to Catalonia, it will end any chance of Marcus Rashford joining the Spanish champions. Rashford might need to turn to Italy where Napoli, Milan and Como are interested in helping him escape from Manchester United.

Ruben Amorim is seeking attacking reinforcements and his attention might be drawn to the Nottingham Forest wizard Callum Hudson-Odoi. The king of cutting in from the left and scoring has a year remaining on his City Ground contract, something the Tricky Trees will be eager to change with United and Napoli considering a bid or two.
Another getting flirtatious glances from San Siro is Destiny Udogie. The Tottenham full-back is seen as someone who could solve a defensive issue at Milan. The Italy international started his career at Verona and spent time with Udinese, so could be lured back to his homeland after a few years on the books in north London.
It is all fun and games at Craven Cottage. Fulham have shaken their head at the suits up at Elland Road, rejecting a bid of £26m with a further £6m in add-ons for Rodrigo Muniz. If Marco Silva's side do eventually find themselves needing a new striker, the USA international Ricardo Pepi could be their man. The PSV forward scored 11 in 18 last season's Eredivisie to get people interested.

Guess what? Evann Guessand could be on the move. The Nice forward is on the shortlist of potential new arrivals at Leeds but they face competition from Tottenham, who have also got on the blower to get a rough idea of price and whether the player has any interest in heading to the Premier League.
Chelsea have not signed anyone for a few days, so the recruitment team will be getting itchy feet. Morgan Rogers is one person who could scratch the irritation, while Brighton's João Pedro is another the club hold an interest in.
And Leicester need to formulate a cunning plan in order to bounce back to the Premier League at the first time of asking. One player Ruud van Nistelrooy thinks might be able to help achieve his ambitions is Leeds' Sam Greenwood, who spent last season on loan at Preston.

The comeback queens - these Lionesses never give in
When all seems lost, these Lionesses find a way to rescue it. The comebacks queens, always coming back for more. with a chance to defend their European crown. But even Sarina Wiegman feared they would be flying home today when the clock hit 88 minutes in the semi-final with Italy and they were still trailing 1-0. Just why had the defence been picked apart too easily again in the first half to concede to give Barbara Bonansea the space and time to score? Just why were Alessia Russo and Lauren Hemp, in particular, not clinical enough? Just why are they always relying on the substitutes? Maybe that is a recipe for success rather than a desperate rescue mission. Read more from Sky News: Because when Wiegman saw there would be seven minutes of stoppage time, suddenly there was hope again. Especially as five minutes earlier, the manager had brought on Michelle Agyemang. It's a lot to rely on a 19-year-old. But this is a striker who scored 41 seconds into her international debut as a substitute in April. And she scored the equaliser that sent the quarterfinal into extra time last week before England beat Sweden on penalties. Now the weight of the nation was on her shoulders again - and she delivered in the sixth of the seven minutes of injury time. "She has something special," Wiegman said. "She's very mature, she knows exactly what she has to do. "When you talk about little things that she picks up straight away, because she's not only in the 18-yard box very dangerous but when we have to go to her as a target player, she keeps the ball really well too." The Arsenal forward even hit the crossbar in extra time before the Wembley winner from the final three years ago showed again why she's a super-sub. Just when it seemed England would need to win another shootout, Beth Mead was brought down and now they had one penalty to win it. Chloe Kelly was denied but alert to pounce on the rebound. And with a 2-1 win, England will go the distance for a third tournament in a row. No England team has ever previously enjoyed such a deep run. For Kelly it will be a second final of the year after winning the Champions League with Arsenal. But it is a year that began despondent at Manchester City before securing a move to the Gunners. "The moments when in January I felt like giving up football makes you so grateful for these moments here today, and this makes you enjoy every minute of that," Kelly said. "I think confidence comes from within, but from around you as well. The players that we stand side by side with on the pitch, give confidence in each other." And England will certainly feel confident. These never give in. How many teams would want to bottle up that fighting spirit and resilience? "When it finishes like this I am enjoying it but it's a little bit dramatic," said Wiegman, who has now reached an unprecedented five tournament finals with the Netherlands and England.
