He helped Crystal Palace win their first major trophy after beating Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final in Wembley in May.
Lyon also announced it had loaned Croatian international defender Duje Caleta-Car to Spanish club Real Sociedad for one year with a four million euro purchase option.
The 28-year-old Caleta-Car, who has 33 caps, arrived at Lyon from Southampton in 2023.

Packers GM shares insight on Matthew Golden that highlights exactly why he's poised to make an early impact
Packers GM shares insight on Matthew Golden that highlights exactly why he's poised to make an early impact originally appeared on A to Z Sports. The Green Bay Packers couldn't be more impressed with first-round rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden. Two weeks into training camp, Golden has been consolidating himself as a starter even with strong internal competition, and even in packages with only two receivers on the the Packers took him in the draft, his strong hands were a big calling card. And this is, once again, what has caught the attention of the front office."It's early, but he's been a great pro," general manager Brian Gutekunst told the Family Night broadcast. "His hands have stood out as well." Performance in training camp It's just the beginning of the process, but the Packers have gotten everything they could expect from Golden early on. While there will be a natural rotation with players like Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks, the rookie has established and appeared with the ones more and more throughout usually stays on the bench when the team is in 12 personnel, but Golden has proven he can play outside and do enough to be on the field for the majority of offensive snaps. For a rookie, the first NFL training camp might be a lot. New schemes, the speed of the game. But Matthew Golden is so polished that development has come more naturally."It's starting to slow down for me," Golden said earlier this week, via "It's starting to feel like I can go out there and just play and have fun, not have to think about what I need to do. It's just going out there getting open, knowing my assignment and alignment."The Packers have invested in the wide receiver position through the years, but getting a player so early in the draft shows the willingness to have better results from the get go, both from a floor and ceiling perspective. So far, Golden has shown everything Green Bay wanted and expected to story was originally reported by A to Z Sports on Aug 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

Roughriders soar past Alouettes 34-6 in CFL power clash
MONTREAL — A dominant defensive performance and explosive plays allowed the Saskatchewan Roughriders to walk away from Montreal with a 34-6 win on Saturday. It was billed as a clash between the CFL's top two teams, but the Roughriders proved a class above the Alouettes, improving to 7-1 and moving four points up on the 5-3 Calgary Stampeders in the West Division. The Saskatchewan defence held the Alouettes (5-3) to 169 yards and did not allow them to pass their 46 yard-line. They also forced three turnovers, although it could have been even more. 'Through and through that was our best game as a defence,' said Saskatchewan head coach and defensive coordinator Corey Mace. 'I told them, that being said, we dropped so many potential interceptions and turnovers. Really, really proud of those guys.' 'It makes it pretty easy to win football games,' quarterback Trevor Harris said about his defence's performance. 'If they don't get into the red zone and they only kick two field goals, it's tough to lose games. "It's on us as an offence to make sure we extend our leads and they don't get close. We did that, but obviously still wish we would have done a little more offensively.' 'They're a good team,' said Montreal quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson. 'We have to give them credit, but we came out absolutely terrible tonight, myself included. You come out against a good team and play badly, it looks like that.' Harris threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns against one of his former teams and Dohnte Meyers had 182 all-purpose yards in the win as well but the common refrain from the Riders coaches and players was that they were capable of even more. 'We're just going to continue to keep climbing and getting better. Just because you're 7-1 after eight games, it doesn't mean anything,' Harris said. A crowd of 21,654 at Percival Molson Stadium in Montreal witnessed the Riders improve to 4-0 on the road. It was the Roughriders first win in Montreal since Oct. 30, 2021, snapping a two-game losing streak in Quebec and three games against the Alouettes overall. 'The environment was everything that we thought it was going to be,' said Mace. 'Their crowd showed up, the energy was crazy, but as a football team we were able to keep them quiet.' 'Anytime you get a win on the road in the CFL, it's nothing to sneeze at, especially against a team like this,' Harris said. Montreal was playing its fourth game of the season without starting quarterback Davis Alexander. They are 1-3 in those games. Bethel-Thompson, Alexander's replacement, went 15 for 26 for 126 yards and an interception and was briefly replaced in the third quarter by Caleb Evans. Maas said he tried to find a spark by going to Evans but when it wasn't there, he returned to Bethel-Thompson. The loss drops Montreal two points behind the East-leading Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Saskatchewan opened the scoring with short-yardage quarterback Tommy Stevens' one-yard touchdown run on an opening drive aided by a 46-yard return on the opening kickoff by Meyers and an unnecessary roughness penalty on the Alouettes. It was the only scoring in the first quarter. The Roughriders doubled their lead on their first drive of the second quarter, a nine-play, 69-yard drive ending with a Harris touchdown pass to Tommy Nield with 8:35 remaining. Montreal finally got on the board with 5:15 remaining in the first half when Jose Maltos connected for a 56-yard field goal. Saskatchewan answered right back with a field goal of their own, set up after a long 58-yard pass and catch from Harris to Meyers. Meyers is in his second season with the Roughriders and came into the game among the league leaders with five explosive plays, which is categorized as receptions over 30 yards and kickoff returns over 40 yards. On Saturday, he added three more. 'He's a big-play guy and he's able to help us stretch the field,' said Harris. 'The reputation is that we only throw the ball short, but we've been throwing the ball deep over people's heads quite a bit this year with Dohnte and KeeSean (Johnson).' 'He's an explosive receiver,' Mace said. 'He runs routes as smooth as ever, he's got great hands, and he's got some top-level speed to be able to break away. The kid's just a ballplayer, man, and I think everybody in the country's starting to figure that out.' The game's second half was delayed close to 30 minutes due to a thunderstorm in the area, and the rain continued to start the third quarter. Both teams were dealing with key players missing. Saskatchewan was missing receiver Samuel Emilus. In addition to Alexander, Montreal was without receivers Austin Mack and Tyler Philpot, while defensive back Kabion Ento was a late scratch and safety Marc-Antoine Dequoy left the game with an injury. Montreal head coach Jason Maas did not give an update on Dequoy's status, saying he will be re-evaluated this week. 'Injuries are part of the game,' said Maas. 'At times they're harder to overcome than others. Obviously, you don't ever want to start a game losing a guy and then lose a couple extra guys at those positions.' 'What I give more credit to than anything is them,' he said about his opponents. 'They played very well tonight, whether we were injured or not.' UP NEXT Roughriders: Host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday, Aug. 16. Alouettes: Host the Edmonton Elks on Friday. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 2, 2025.

New disc golf course opens to public in Swindon
A new disc golf course has opened at Basset Down Complex in Swindon. The disc golf course is now open to the public and joins the other activities offered by the complex, including footgolf, a Toptracer driving range, padel courts, and a restaurant and bar. Owner of Basset Down Complex Juliette Nutland said: "Disc golf is a fantastic addition to what we offer here. "It's active, inclusive, easy to learn and perfect for making the most of the outdoors — whether you're with young children, teens, or adults. "And being able to follow your game with a great meal or drink on the terrace makes it a brilliant full day out." Read more: Anger at 'daylight robbery' of retirement home fees and charges Like traditional golf or footgolf, the aim of disc golf is to complete each hole in as few shots as possible. However, instead of balls and clubs, players throw discs towards raised metal baskets. The complex's new disc golf course has two custom-designed courses built on the existing footgolf layout so the two sports can be played simultaneously. Discs can be hired on-site, and players will receive a scorecard or can use an app called UDISC for digital scoring and maps. After a round, players can relax and refuel in the on-site restaurant and bar, which features a balcony and outdoor patio area. The restaurant serves a seasonal menu made with locally sourced ingredients, along with a dedicated children's menu, cakes, Rays Ice Cream, and snacks. For those looking to enjoy a host of activities, Basset Down also offers footgolf, a driving range, and padel. To play disc golf, players can either turn up on the day or book a time slot online or by phone.
