'It's been a good first season in the Premier League,' Strand Larsen said. 'I'm proud of what I've done.'
In June, the Wolves signed another player from Celta Vigo, attacking midfielder Fer Lopez, on a five-year contract.

‘Get well, daddy': Here's why David Beckham was just seen in the hospital
On the mend. David Beckham fans may have been a tad concerned Friday when his wife Victoria posted a reel of him in a hospital bed. The ex-Spice Girl's caption: 'Get well, daddy, with no explanation. Turns out what landed him there wasn't that serious: Beckham underwent a procedure to fix an old injury. Surgeons had to remove a screw that had been placed in the retired soccer star's right arm after a fall that broke his wrist during a game between England and South Africa back in 2003, The Sun reports. The British outlet posted a clip of the painful run-in with Thabang Molefe four minutes into the second half. The screw was apparently intended to dissolve over time, but did not, causing the father of four considerable discomfort through the years. In a followup video, Victoria, 51, posted a video of her 50-year-old hubby tending to their garden at their Costwolds compound in the U.K., as per People magazine. 'Overperforming on the cucumber front, Sir David!!!' read the designer's text over screen, referring to the knight to be's impending title. The Inter Miami co-owner was well enough by Sunday to attend the FIFA Club World Cup game vs. his old team, Paris Saint-Germain, in Atlanta. On Instagram, Becks shared pics from the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium sporting a large bandage. 'It's fine. It's an old injury that needed surgery,' he said in an interview with a reporter before the match-up. 'It's all good.'

Kerkez Sends Bournemouth Farewell Message After Liverpool Transfer Confirmed
Kerkez Signs for Liverpool as Bournemouth Star Makes £40 Million Switch New Chapter for Kerkez After Bournemouth Rise Liverpool have completed the signing of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth in a deal worth up to £40 million, making him the most expensive full-back in the club's history. The Hungarian international has signed a five-year deal, keeping him at Anfield until June 2030. Advertisement Kerkez's rise in English football has been rapid, and his development at Bournemouth has been rewarded with one of the most high-profile moves of the Premier League summer. At just 21, his composure, defensive maturity and attacking intent down the left flank caught the attention of Liverpool's recruitment department early in the 2024-25 campaign. This deal becomes the third major acquisition for Liverpool in this transfer window, following the arrivals of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz. The investment underlines Arne Slot's intent to keep Liverpool competitive after winning the Premier League in his debut season. Photo: IMAGO Farewell Message Highlights Bournemouth Impact In a heartfelt message posted on Instagram, Kerkez paid tribute to his former club and the people who shaped his Premier League beginnings. 'I want to thank the whole AFC Bournemouth family for giving me the chance to come and play in the Premier League, the gaffer, everyone at coaching staff, everyone at the club, you guys will always be in my heart, especially the players, made friends for life,' he wrote. Advertisement 'We fought lot of battles together and gave everything for each other, love you guys. The fans always support us and I am forever thankful for the love. See you soon.' It was a note of genuine appreciation, reflecting a player who values the opportunity that Bournemouth gave him. Kerkez was one of the bright spots in Bournemouth's campaign, showing a blend of physicality and technical ability that made him stand out in matches against top-six opposition. Liverpool Move Signals Ambition For Liverpool, this is more than just depth in defence. Kerkez arrives to compete. With Andrew Robertson's injury record becoming more concerning in recent years, and Kostas Tsimikas potentially moving on, Slot needed a reliable and dynamic left-sided option. Kerkez fits the mould. Advertisement The £40 million fee includes potential add-ons, but the scale of the investment reveals Liverpool's belief in the player's long-term future. His attacking output, composure in possession and recovery pace offer a modern full-back profile that suits Slot's system. Photo IMAGO FIFA solidarity mechanisms will ensure that Hungarian clubs involved in Kerkez's youth development receive a portion of the transfer fee, recognising the role they played in shaping the player who now joins one of Europe's elite clubs. Pre-Season Preparation Begins Kerkez will report for Liverpool's pre-season on July 8, joining up with a squad aiming to build on last season's success. Their opening friendly comes just six days later against Preston North End, a fixture likely to offer the defender his first chance to pull on the red shirt. Advertisement At 21, the pressure and spotlight will increase, but Liverpool will hope that the grounding he received at Bournemouth will ease his transition. Slot's emphasis on tactical discipline and fluidity in wide areas should accelerate his integration. Kerkez's journey is only just beginning at Anfield, but his words and work at Bournemouth will not be forgotten.
