Most likely candidate for Spurs captaincy revealed if Son departs
Cristian Romero is emerging as Tottenham's new on-field leader, with the World Cup-winning defender the frontrunner to take over the captaincy if Heung-min Son completes a proposed move to LAFC, report Mail Sport on Friday. Romero's leadership credentials have grown steadily since his arrival in north London, but his partnership with Micky van de Ven during Spurs' impressive Europa League run last season firmly established him as the defensive cornerstone of Thomas Frank's side. Atlético de Madrid made enquiries earlier this summer, but Spurs have held firm, making it clear they would not entertain offers below £60m for the Argentine. With the Spanish club now backing off, Romero looks increasingly likely to play a pivotal role not just in defence, but in the dressing room as well. The 27-year-old has relished responsibility, and the departure of Son – who is expected to finalise his MLS switch after Spurs return from their Asia tour – could see Romero given the armband permanently. Tottenham's defensive structure is beginning to take shape around him. Kevin Danso has joined permanently following a successful loan from Lens, while Radu Drăgușin continues his recovery from a serious knee injury. Ben Davies, though traditionally a centre-back under previous managers, was deployed at left-back by Frank in the recent friendly against Reading. Meanwhile, Luka Vušković's future remains under consideration. The highly rated 18-year-old Croatian, signed for £12million from Hajduk Split at 16, is attracting interest from several Bundesliga clubs after standout loan spells in Poland and Belgium. Vušković impressed on his Spurs debut last weekend, scoring and assisting within eight minutes of a 2-0 win at Reading. However, despite his promising displays, he remains behind Romero, Van de Ven, Danso, and Drăgușin in the pecking order. Frank is understood to be weighing up whether Vušković should go out on loan again, potentially to the Bundesliga, or stay and gain experience in English football. Either way, Romero's status as the defensive leader – and perhaps the next captain – is already shaping the way Spurs manage the future of their young talent. 📸 Justin Setterfield - 2025 Getty Images

Jets owner Woody Johnson's Crystal Palace Stake Gets Green Light
Crystal Palace confirmed Thursday that New York Jets owner Woody Johnson's purchase of Eagle Football's shareholding in the Premier League club has been completed. "I am honored and privileged to be joining the ownership group of Crystal Palace Football Club," Johnson told the club website. Palace announced last month that Johnson had signed "a legally binding contract" to buy the shares of fellow American John Textor, who had a 43% stake in the London club, with reports at the time placing the price between $220 million and $260 million. The latest club statement gave no financial details. Johnson joins chairman Steve Parish, Josh Harris and David Blitzer as a partner and director of the club, and has also signed the Premier League's Owners' Charter. "It is an organization with a proud history, tradition, and deep roots in English football in South London, which I came to admire during my time as US Ambassador to the United Kingdom," Johnson said. Palace finished 12th last season in the 20-team Premier League. Johnson's arrival at Palace comes with the club in dispute with UEFA over which European competition it will play in next season after winning the FA Cup in May — its first major trophy in 120 years of existence. Palace was demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League after falling foul of UEFA's rules governing multi-club ownership, but has submitted an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. UEFA determined that as of March 1, Textor had control or influence in Palace and French club Lyon. Textor said he had agreed to sell his stake in Palace to Johnson, but the move came too late to satisfy UEFA. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Alice Pumphrey will cheer on Lionesses with no regrets over switch to boxing
Alice Pumphrey will sit down to watch the Lionesses' latest bid for glory on Sunday without a flicker of regret that she turned her back on a promising football career to target success of a different kind in the Olympic boxing ring. The Blackpool 19-year-old, who has been named in the 16-strong Great Britain squad for September's World Boxing Championships in Liverpool, was scouted by Manchester United at the age of 11 and signed an academy contract with every intention of making it to the top of the sport. But Pumphrey became hooked after heading to her local boxing gym for the first time to improve her fitness, and almost immediately made the tough decision to rip up her deal with the Red Devils and devote herself full-time to her new obsession. 'I'd been playing football almost every day since the age of four, and I was scouted when I was 11 and playing with a boys' team in Fleetwood,' Pumphrey told the PA news agency. 'I went for a trial with United and they said they were going to give me a contract. That meant I could only play for United, so on the days I couldn't play I got bored and went to the gym for extra fitness. 'After a week I told my dad I wanted to box. He told me to see the season out with United and they tried to convince me to stay. But by then I knew what I wanted to do.' Pumphrey's decision has proved a wise one. A slew of English, British and European junior titles followed, culminating in a world under-19 title in Colorado towards the end of last year, and a full-time place on the GB Boxing squad. She is bullish about her future prospects – having targeted Olympic gold in Los Angeles, followed by turning professional and winning undisputed titles at four different weights – and will stop at nothing to achieve it, uprooting from the west coast to relocate to Batley where she trains in the Purge gym. Pumphrey, once a fleet-footed left winger, is the same age as Lionesses saviour Michelle Agyemang, who will aim to summon more heroics when England face Spain in the European Championship on Sunday. But while she will be an avid viewer, the light-flyweight will not once stop to wonder what might have been had she decided not to follow her heart through those gym doors seven years ago. 'I've never regretted it,' she added. 'In football you've got 10 other people and subs who you have to rely on to win a game, but in the boxing ring it's down to you to perform. 'I don't like having to depend on other people. In that ring it's you and the person who is trying to take your head off, and that's what I love.'
