West Ham sign Walker-Peters on free transfer
West Ham have signed defender Kyle Walker-Peters on a free transfer following his departure from Southampton. The 28-year-old full-back, who has two England caps, has joined the Hammers on a three-year contract. "He is a player I've always thought highly of and been impressed by whenever he has faced one of my teams," said West Ham manager Graham Potter. "He has a really good pedigree, a top professional who has established himself as a respected Premier League player and still has his best years in front of him." Walker-Peters started his career at Tottenham and moved to Southampton on loan in January 2020 before making the switch permanent that summer. He made 202 appearances for Southampton but, after they were relegated from the Premier League last season, left following the expiry of his contract. Walker-Peters was on the verge of joining Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Besiktas, but the Turkish club said on Thursday they were no longer interested after Walker-Peters delayed his medical following interest from West Ham. "I spoke to Graham Potter and he was a big, big part of me making the decision," said Walker-Peters. "I've always liked his style as a coach, and I think it will suit me well. "Every team wants to win trophies and West Ham have that ambition. From speaking to Graham, he wants to create something special, and hopefully I can be a part of that." This summer West Ham have signed Senegal defender El Hadji Malick Diouf for £19m from Slavia Prague and made defender Jean-Clair Todibo's loan move from Nice permanent. They have sold winger Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham for £55m. Latest West Ham news, analysis and fan views Get West Ham news sent straight to your phone

Residents urged to support national cycle race
Warwickshire residents are being urged to take to the streets to support a national cycling race returning to the county after a five-year break. Stage four of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Men will visit the area for a third time on 5 September. Competitors will set off from Atherstone in north Warwickshire and wind their way south, finishing with a 700m (2,296ft) climb to the top of Burton Dassett Hills Country Park. The race begins in East Suffolk on Tuesday 2 September. A detailed route map will be published later this month. The race last came to Warwickshire in 2019, with Dutch cyclist Mathieu van der Poel crowned the local stage winner. The county council is running a competition for primary school children to design a flag that will start the local leg, and a trophy to be presented to the stage winner. Interim leader George Finch said the race's return was a "fantastic boost" for the county, taking in North Warwickshire, Nuneaton and Bedworth, Rugby, Warwick and Stratford-on-Avon districts. "I hope the people of Warwickshire will take to the streets and the hills, as they always have, to give the Tour the support it deserves," he added. Jonathan Day, managing director of British Cycling Events, said Warwickshire had a "long and proud history" of hosting the Tour of Britain. It has also welcomed the women's race five times in the last decade, and the men's and women's Commonwealth Games road races in August 2022. "We are delighted to be returning, especially with such a challenging finale at Burton Dassett Hills Country Park, that will draw spectators from right across the heart of England," Mr Day added. The opening leg of the Tour runs between Woodbridge and Southwold, followed by a second stage at Stowmarket. Milton Keynes and Central Bedfordshire will host the third stage on 4 September. Further announcements about the host venues of remaining stages between 5-7 will be made in the coming weeks. Follow BBC Coventry & Warwickshire on BBC Sounds, Facebook, X and Instagram.

Whalley brace not enough for Stanley against Wigan
Shaun Whalley scored twice but Accrington Stanley lost 4-2 to League One side Wigan Athletic in their latest friendly on Saturday. Whalley fired home from the edge of the area and then from the penalty spot as Stanley held a 2-0 lead over Ryan Lowe's side. But the Latics came back in the second half as both sides prepare for their respective campaigns, starting in a fortnight. Wigan's Paul Mullin has the first chance on 15 minutes, firing across the goal and narrowly wide. It was an even battle with limited goalmouth action before Whalley opened the scoring on 34 minutes. He got the ball on the edge of the area and drilled it low into the corner of the net beyond Sam Tickle. The Latics had a good chance to equalise on 43 minutes when a free-kick into the box fell to Jon Mellish six yards out, but Michael Kelly did well to keep out his effort with his legs. Just before half time, Charlie Caton rushed on to the ball in the area and swept it goalwards but it was straight into Tickle's arms. John Doolan made three changes at half time with Ollie Wright, Josh Woods and Tyler Walton coming on for the second period. Striker Caton had two good chances after the restart, turning and shooting in the area but it was off-target and then a header from close range could not test Tickle. The Reds pressed for a second and were awarded a penalty on 54 minutes for a foul on Whalley. Whalley took the spot-kick and celebrated his second goal of the game. Josh Woods almost made it three on 60 minutes with a superb strike from 20 yards which Tickle pushed away. Soon after, Doolan made wholesale changes, giving the majority of his squad the run out including Seamus Conneely, who is coming back from an injury sustained last season. Wigan got one back on 65 minutes when Callum McManaman's cross found former Red loanee Dara Costelloe in the area and he fired into the net. They levelled on 76 minutes when Maleace Asamoah got the ball in the area and finished well. Wigan were awarded a penalty on 78 minutes when Josh Woods fouled Jason Kerr and, although Wright guessed the right way, Costelloe squeezed the ball into the bottom corner. Stanley came close to levelling on 83 minutes when Walton hit the corner of bar and post with a looping effort. The fourth arrived for Wigan on 89 minutes when Asamoah got the ball in the area and stroked the ball home. Stanley: Kelly, Sass, Grant, Rawson, Coyle, Whalley, B Woods, Sinclair, Matthews, Caton, Brown. Subs: Wright, Mooney, Henderson, Trialist A, Popoola, Martin, Walton, Smith, Conneely, Tunstall, J Woods. Attendance: 1,141 (676 away).
