Lionesses' triumph: England to celebrate back-to-back European titles with open-top parade
LONDON (AP) — The Lionesses are heading back home to celebrate. England successfully defended its Women's European Championship title by beating world champion Spain in a shootout in the final in Basel, Switzerland on Sunday. After becoming the first England team to win a major tournament on foreign soil, the squad will celebrate its victory with a trip to Downing Street later on Monday. Celebrations will continue on Tuesday with an open-top bus parade in central London, ending with a ceremony in front of Buckingham Palace. Fans erupted with joy across England after Chloe Kelly lashed in her spot kick to give her team a 3-1 win on penalties, after a 1-1 draw following extra time. King Charles III said the team had the royal family's 'warmest appreciation and admiration' following its win. 'The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can,' he added. The Downing Street reception will be hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock. 'The Lionesses have once again captured the hearts of the nation,' British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said. 'Their victory is not only a remarkable sporting achievement, but an inspiration for young people across the country. It stands as a testament to the determination, resilience and unity that define this outstanding team.' It was back-to-back European trophies for England and yet another final that Kelly had a huge impact on, after also coming on as a substitute during the Euro 2022 trophy match and scoring the winner against Germany in extra time to clinch a 2-1 victory. ___ AP soccer:

Report: Arsenal attacker attracting interest from Newcastle and Tottenham
Newcastle and Spurs Circling as Gabriel Jesus Faces Uncertain Arsenal Future Jesus Attracting Admirers Amid Arsenal Exit Talk Gabriel Jesus could be on the move, with CaughtOffside reporting that the Arsenal striker is attracting interest from several European clubs, including Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. Despite being a significant signing for Mikel Arteta in 2022, the Brazilian has struggled to maintain consistency in North London—partly due to recurring knee injuries that have limited his form and availability. Photo IMAGO At 28, Jesus is entering a pivotal stage of his career. According to CaughtOffside, 'clubs like Milan, Barcelona, and Newcastle United are reportedly tracking his situation.' The article also confirms that Tottenham and Inter Milan are monitoring developments, although none have yet made formal approaches. Jesus has scored only 26 goals in 96 appearances for the Gunners—a return that's underwhelmed many fans and pundits, particularly given the lofty expectations that accompanied his move from Manchester City. Suitors Prepared to Wait on Fitness Clearance It seems most of Jesus's suitors are playing the waiting game. 'The lingering effects of a serious knee injury have made clubs cautious about making a move,' the report notes. As a result, the January window appears a more viable period for any serious bids to emerge. Palmeiras and Flamengo are also said to be keeping tabs on the striker's condition, highlighting the broad appeal he still commands both in Europe and South America. 'Several European sides have already initiated contact, but uncertainty remains over the timing of any deal,' CaughtOffside revealed, making it clear that his medical status could significantly shape the final outcome. Newcastle Could Use Jesus's Creativity From a tactical perspective, Jesus offers more than goals—he brings mobility, creativity, and the ability to link play. With Newcastle reportedly open to selling Alexander Isak if a significant offer arrives, there could be a clear pathway for Jesus at St. James' Park. 'Jesus is more than just a goal scorer, and he will add creativity and unpredictability to the Newcastle attack,' the original article stated. His versatility would also allow him to operate in various forward roles, which could prove valuable in a physically demanding Premier League campaign. Spurs Interest Raises Eyebrows Tottenham, too, are said to be in the mix, particularly if Son Heung-min or Richarlison were to depart. However, any deal would be viewed through the lens of fierce North London rivalry, making this an unlikely destination. 'A move for the Arsenal player would be quite surprising,' CaughtOffside concluded—a sentiment many fans would likely echo. Our View – EPL Index Analysis From a Newcastle fan's point of view, this link to Gabriel Jesus feels like an ambitious, albeit calculated, move. He's a name that carries Premier League pedigree, and if Eddie Howe is looking to diversify the Magpies' attacking options, Jesus could be an intriguing fit. With Alexander Isak targeted by Liverpool and Callum Wilson already departed, adding someone like Jesus—who can play across the frontline—makes sense. However, the big question revolves around his durability. The knee issues are a concern, especially for a side like Newcastle who need consistent performers week in, week out. Still, his experience at Manchester City and Arsenal means he knows the league inside out. While his finishing has drawn criticism, his link-up play and pressing ability align well with Howe's tactical setup. If the financial terms are favourable and the player is fully fit, this could be a smart piece of business. It's worth noting that Jesus brings Champions League-level experience, something Newcastle will need if they're to maintain their ambitions across multiple fronts. Should Isak stay, Jesus could still prove useful in rotation, particularly in congested fixtures. The January window might provide the clearest opportunity, and if the stars align, don't be surprised if St. James' Park becomes his next home.
